Inflammation of the prostate causes many discomforts in humans, causing physical and psychological suffering. Initiated prostatitis can lead to dangerous consequences, including infertility, the development of benign and malignant tumors in the tissues of the organ, and total impotence. Therefore, timely visit to the doctor, determination of the causes of the inflammatory process and competent therapy play an important role. Today, there are a variety of drugs and effective treatments for the treatment of prostatitis in the pharmacology market that differ in their activity, efficacy, and goods.
Successful treatment of prostatitis can only be achieved through an integrated approach that includes the use of medications, diet, physiotherapy methods, the use of folk recipes, the elimination of provocative factors and the elimination of the causes of the pathological process. Drug therapy, on the other hand, involves the use of drugs to eliminate various problems. Drugs for the treatment of inflammation of the prostate are presented in different dosage forms, they can combine several operations at the same time.
Dosage forms of anti-prostatitis drugs
Medicines for the treatment of prostatitis are presented in the following dosage forms:
- tablets or capsules;
- injectable drugs;
- rectal suppositories;
- microcycles and drips.
The latter can be prepared using both natural ingredients and medicines.
Pills
Prostatitis therapy is not possible without pills. Treatment of chronic prostatitis in men can be performed using other dosage forms, but only during periods of remission. You should take tablets if you get worse. Because the inflammatory process of the prostate gland is most often provoked by infectious agents, treatment necessarily involves the use of different types of antibiotics. In addition, the following classes of drugs may be used to treat all types of prostatitis, as prescribed for each case:
- alpha-blockers;
- non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs;
- muscle relaxants;
- analgesics;
- diuretics;
- hormonal preparations;
- Immunostimulants.
In addition, complex formulations have been developed that work together to treat prostatitis.
Antibiotics
Such drugs are needed in almost all cases of acute prostatitis caused by pathogenic microorganisms. When inflammation is caused by congestion in the pelvic organs, antibiotics can also be used if tests reveal the activity of a so-called nonspecific or opportunistic microflora.
Self-medication with antibiotics, uncontrolled intake, use of such drugs on the advice of friends or the Internet is strictly prohibited. Only a qualified physician can rely on test results to determine which medications are needed in a particular case. Some patients need a combination of several antibiotics. It is the sole responsibility of the urologist to determine the type, dosage, dosing schedule, and duration of treatment.
The following classes of antibiotics can be used to treat prostatitis:
- fluoroquinolones- destroy the DNA synthesis of cells of pathogenic microorganisms, thereby suppressing their vital activity;
- tetracyclines- broad-spectrum antibiotics that suppress the pathogenic microflora and are quite difficult for patients to tolerate;
- Cephalosporins- damage the cell membranes of pathogenic microorganisms, disrupt their life and reproduction, these antibiotics have many side effects, negatively affect the condition of the gastrointestinal tract, so they almost neverand it is recommended to administer. intramuscularly;
- penicillins- block the synthesis of the protein needed by microorganisms to build cellular structures, these bases, unlike the previous ones, have almost no side effects and are taken in tablets;
- Macrolides- The least toxic drugs for the human body, very well tolerated by patients, but rarely prescribed due to unproven effectiveness in the treatment of prostatitis.
The need to take antibiotics for treatment according to certain regimens and in certain doses is due to the specifics of their function. Only after reaching a certain concentration, which must be replenished at regular intervals, do the drugs begin to suppress the pathogenic microflora. Its complete destruction takes ten days to a month. If the course is not completed, as some patients do when they feel well, infectious agents can remain in the body, gain drug resistance, and begin to multiply again under certain conditions.
Alpha-adrenergic receptor blockers
This class of drugs is prescribed to relax the smooth muscles of the bladder and urethra in severe urinary problems.
Alpha-adrenergic blockers are different - some act selectively on receptors, others do not have this selectivity.
Many alpha-blockers are antihypertensive and are therefore not prescribed for patients with hypertension. They have almost no side effects, prevent urine backflow and prevent re-infection of the prostate.
Analgesics and antispasmodics
In severe pain syndrome, especially in the inflammatory-purulent course of prostatitis, it is not possible without analgesics. The pain associated with prostatitis is so intense that the patient cannot even touch the affected area. Most analgesics do not affect the area of pain, but relieve the sensitivity of the brain centers in the cortex. Therefore, they are not worth using regularly, they do not provide real help in correcting the problem.
Anticonvulsants have a different effect. These drugs relax the smooth muscles of the organs, relieving cramps.
Anti-inflammatory drugs
These drugs have the effect of eliminating inflammation, reducing swelling in the affected area, having an antipyretic and analgesic effect, making it easier to urinate, but most often the inflammation is removed with suppositories and microcrystals.
Herbal Ingredients
The use of natural remedies is recommended in chronic forms of the disease. They require a long route of administration, but can improve prostate function, suppress the activity of the pathogenic microflora, and strengthen the immune system, which suffers for a long time in the fight against infection.
Injectable
Several types of antibiotics are recommended for intramuscular administration of prostatitis.
The most effective drug for inflammation of the prostate, produced in solutions for intramuscular administration, is a special drug that has a complex effect: relieves swelling, improves fluid circulation in the affected area, relieves inflammation, increases smooth muscle tone, strengthens the immune system.
Rectal candles
Suppositories are considered to be the most effective way to relieve pain and inflammation. Their effectiveness is due to the fact that they bypass the bloodstream, liver and gastrointestinal tract, penetrating directly into the affected area. Doctors recommend treating prostatitis:
- ichthyol candles;
- candles with medicines;
- candles with propolis.
Injection directly into the rectum, located next to the inflamed area, provides rapid cone treatment. This treatment has the following effects:
- quickly relieves pain syndrome;
- relieves swelling and inflammation;
- improves blood circulation in the affected area; prostate function
- is restored;
- pathogenic microflora is killed; The
- urination process is restored.
suppositories are recommended for all forms of prostatitis.
Microcrystals and Drips
Like rectal suppositories, microcrystals and instillations provide rapid drug release directly into the inflamed organ.
The procedures can be performed using herbs, decoctions and herbal alcoholic tinctures using natural oils.
Conclusion
Before taking any medication for prostatitis, you should consult your doctor and undergo a full examination. Medication is very effective, but if a man does not change his habits and does not eliminate the effects of provocative factors, prostatitis will return very quickly, even with successful treatment.
