The cure for prostatitis in men is available in almost every pharmacy. The choice of types of medicines and remedies is impressive for its breadth and diversity. However, each of them has its own pharmacological effect on the male body, so the choice of a particular type should be made only by a specialist, and the chosen drug should be used strictly as prescribed by a doctor.
Pharmacological groups of drugs
The list of groups of drugs for the treatment of prostate inflammation looks like this:
- Antibiotics. Their action is aimed at the elimination of microorganisms that have become disease-causing agents. All of them are used only when a bacterial infection is recognized as the cause of prostatitis. Three main classes of antibiotics are commonly used: penicillins, tetracyclines, and fluoroquinolones.
- Antivirusdrugs. They are used when the cause of prostatitis is a viral infection.
- Alpha blockers. They help to relax the smooth muscle tissue of the prostate and drain urine into the patient. They can completely inhibit the activity of the sympathetic nervous system, causing uncontrolled contraction of the smooth muscles of the internal organs. There are drugs that specifically act on the sympathetic nervous system, stopping only its effect on the prostate.
- NonsteroidalDrugs with anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic effect. Such therapy stops the symptoms of prostate inflammation, lowers the tone of the body and perineum muscles.
- Hormonaldrugs. They are intended for the treatment of inflammation, to reduce swelling of the body, to normalize the process of excretion of urine.
- PhytotherapeuticDosage forms. Made with natural herbal ingredients. They are an excellent way to reduce inflammation, alleviate prostate swelling, and reduce pain and discomfort.
Types of drugs
You can buy the following types of medicines in pharmacies today, which are distinguished by the method and place of exposure:
- Tablets and capsules. The difference between these forms is in their structure - in the first the consistency is dense, in the second the structure consists of a gelatinous membrane and the drug inside. Both dosage forms are taken orally (orally) before, during, or after meals. Moreover, some medications need to be rinsed with liquid (water);
- Solution for injection (injections). When using this type of therapy, the drug penetrates the body almost instantly. Intramuscular injection is most commonly used, although some solutions are administered intravenously;
- Candles- This is another effective way to treat prostatitis. The advantage of rectal suppositories is that they have simultaneous antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and analgesic action. They are injected directly into the rectum, the patient should be in a supine position at this time and remain in this position for at least half an hour after taking the drug. During this time, the suppository has time to dissolve and be absorbed through the mucous membrane. The course of treatment is usually 5-10 days;
- Instillations. They are used quite rarely and only in the hospital. The reason for this was the method of injection, thanks to which the drug is delivered almost to the focus of inflammation and, consequently, the latter passes quickly. The drug is injected through the urethra, or male penis, using a catheter. This is only possible in an inpatient setting and only by experienced medical staff;
- Microclysters- This is another type of medicine to treat prostatitis. These dosage forms are based on herbal decoctions and their main advantage is their anti-inflammatory effect. True, there is one thing, but not all doctors recognize this type of treatment as a complete remedy. They consider microcysts to be one of the alternative medicine remedies suitable only for the prevention of prostatitis in men.
Before making a diagnosis, the doctor prescribes diagnostic tests for the patient and conducts an examination.
Depending on the symptoms of the disease, the stage of prostatitis and how far it goes, the type and treatment regimen are determined. The therapy and medications used for each form of prostate inflammation will be different. It is important to consider the following factors:
