Prostatitis is an acute or chronic disease of the prostate characterized by inflammation of the organ. Symptoms in the acute form include fever, chills, fever, cramps when urinating, pain in the lower abdomen, lower back, and scrotum. The chronic form of the disease usually progresses without noticeable symptoms. Therapy for acute prostatitis consists of the use of drugs. In rare cases, surgery is required. Chronic prostatitis can be effectively treated with both drugs and folk remedies.
Medication for acute prostatitis
Acute prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland caused by an infection. The disease is characterized by the occurrence of prostate edema and the formation of purulent foci in its tissues.
The following groups of drugs are used for treatment:
- Antibiotics.Medicines are the main weapon in the fight against prostatitis. To choose the right drug, you need to find out which microorganism caused the prostatitis. It is necessary to prepare a bacterial culture from the prostate juice. The duration of therapy is about a month or more. The main classes of antibiotics in the treatment of the prostate are: beta-lactams, fluoroquinolones, macrolides.
- Muscle relaxers.Used to relax pelvic floor muscles and urinary tract. This will help reduce pain and normalize urine.
- Diuretics.The use of drugs in this class is intended to ensure complete excretion of urine. Alpha-1 blockers are prescribed with complex therapy.
- Anticonvulsants.Medications in this class are used to relax vascular smooth muscle, which activates blood microcirculation, relieves pain, and improves the release of prostate secretions.
When choosing a drug, don’t indulge in aggressive ads that prescribe prostatitis with expensive imported drugs. It should be understood that cheap drugs are not inferior to foreign analogues because the efficacy of the treatment is affected by the active ingredient of the drug rather than the trade name and brightly colored packaging.
Chronic Disease Control
Treatment of prostatitis with medications consists of prescribing analgesics, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and steroidal medications.
Antibiotics should be included in the treatment of the disease.
Lifestyle changes play a special role in the fight against chronic prostatitis: streamlining diet, giving up bad habits, increasing physical activity, avoiding stressful situations.

Prostate massage
