Anti-prostatitis drugs are the primary and primary cure for any form of this pathology. The mechanism of action of these drugs makes it possible to eliminate all elements of the developing disease, which in turn contributes to a person's faster recovery.
When selecting medications for the treatment of prostate adenoma or inflammation of the prostate, it is important to remember that these medications should be prescribed by a qualified professional. After all, only one doctor can determine the treatment for each patient, taking into account the interaction between drugs used to treat prostate adenoma and other medications the patient is taking, taking into account any side effects on his body.
Every person should know that not only the pathology of the prostate itself can cause mental and physical discomfort - the wrong medication can bring many problems: sexual dysfunction, various allergic reactions or impotence. Therefore, you need to take a very responsible approach not only to medications for the treatment of prostatitis, but also to the treatment of such diseases in general.
Main groups of drugs for BPH and prostatitis
The treatment of these diseases is chosen by the urologist depending on the cause, duration, symptoms and form of the disease (chronic or acute) and the patient's general health.
If a patient develops symptoms of acute prostatitis, short-term antibiotic therapy may be prescribed. If the disease is in the chronic stages of its development, treatment with antibacterial drugs may take two to three months. Complete elimination of prostate adenoma and prostatitis is quite difficult. The outcome of such treatment depends not only on the qualifications of the treating professional, but also on the patient himself, whose task is impeccable and strictly adheres to all medical prescriptions.
In this case, it is very important to use a method of complex therapy of the disease, which includes:
- taking antibiotics;
- use of hormonal drugs;
- use alpha-blockers;
- immunomodulatory therapy;
- taking muscle relaxants and anticonvulsants;
- by physiotherapy methods;
- use of herbal preparations (herbal medicines);
- Maintain a healthy lifestyle.
In order to get rid of the unpleasant symptoms of prostate adenoma, such as burning sensation, lower abdominal pain, urinary problems and decreased sexual function, one should take all the medicines that the doctor prescribes for prostatitis. , and perform other therapeutic points necessary for success in the treatment of pathology.
Alpha-adrenergic blockers - what are these drugs and how do they affect the human body
One of the main tasks in the treatment of adenoma and prostatitis is to improve the normal functioning of the urinary system. The process of excreting urine from the bladder is affected by an increase in the tone of the muscle fibers in the prostate gland, as well as a significant increase in the size of this organ. The effect of alpha-blockers is to reduce the sensitivity of sympathetic nerve endings to noradrenaline and adrenaline. In men with adenomas and prostatitis, the irritability of nerve endings is much higher than usual - leading to the appearance of spasms and tension in the smooth muscles surrounding the body.
Alpha-blockers can be used to achieve positive results in the treatment of this disease, such as: reducing spasm in the neck of the bladder, improving the outflow of urine, relaxing muscle fibers in the prostate gland, and free movement of urine in the prostate.
Alpha-blockers are anti-inflammatory drugs that have a cumulative effect. Therefore, in order for the patient to feel relieved in taking these medications, they should be used for 2-4 weeks. These drugs are used in medicine not only to treat prostate adenoma or prostatitis, but also to lower blood pressure. Therefore, taking such alpha-blockers may result in the following side effects: dizziness, lethargy, fatigue, migraine, weakness. Due to the relaxation of the muscle fibers of the urogenital system, a person may experience an injury such as retrograde ejaculation. This condition is caused by reflux of discharge fluid from the iron deferent directly into the bladder.
The group of alpha-blockers has about 60-65 elements from prostatitis. The specific drug in this case is chosen by the doctor depending on the man’s physical condition. Treatment with such drugs is always quite long, and sometimes patients need to take alpha-blockers for a lifetime.
5-alpha reductase inhibitors - what is known about the mechanism of action of these drugs
The main effect of these drugs is on the size of the prostate gland. The efficacy of the use of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors influences the process of urinary outflow, the violation of which is minimized. These drugs for men’s prostatitis have a stimulating effect on testosterone synthesis in the male body, which significantly slows or stops the growth of prostate adenoma.
It should be noted that any drug in this group not only regulates the condition of benign prostatic hyperplasia, but also reduces the likelihood of surgical interventions on the organ. Occasionally, 5-alpha reductase inhibitors do not help the patient and the tumor continues to grow. In this case, surgical removal of the tumor by the TUR method is an unavoidable option.
Herbal preparations for the treatment of prostate adenoma
Medicines for prostatitis in this group contain only natural herbal ingredients.
The effectiveness of herbal preparations has long been proven in practice. They successfully eliminate urethral obstruction, reduce the amount of residual urine in the bladder and improve the quality of urination. It is recommended that these drugs for the treatment of prostate adenoma be taken for a sufficient period of time until a noticeable clinical improvement is achieved and the symptoms of the disease disappear. Such anti-prostatitis drugs have been shown to be the safest and have virtually no side effects.
What are the methods to treat prostate disease?
- Injections- they significantly increase the activity of the prostate gland.
- Rectal suppositories- help improve metabolic processes in this organ. After taking these medications, the patient should rest for 30 to 40 minutes. Treatment of adenoma with suppositories takes 5-10-12 days. Possible side effects of some of the components of the medicine are rash or itching.
- Instillations- This type of therapy involves the introduction of a therapeutic solution directly into the prostate area. The procedure is performed by a urologist who injects the medicine into the urethra through an opening in the urethra. You can administer 4-5 ml of solution in one session before performing this procedure, the patient must necessarily empty the bladder cavity.
- Enemas- In modern pharmacies, it is very difficult to find drugs for prostatitis that can be used for enemas. But the pharmaceutical industry produces a lot of herbal medicines that are worth paying attention to. This procedure is mainly performed at bedtime so that the prostate does not overcool and does not overdo it after enema. Breast milk, chamomile, sage or marigold in this case is perfect for treatment. With the help of the enema, the patient can get rid of the pain and other symptoms of this disease for at least a short time.
Preparations for prostatitis in the form of tablets
Prostate adenoma tablets should be prescribed by the treating physician after a thorough examination of the patient to determine the stage of the disease and the most effective method of treatment. Such drugs are most commonly used to relieve the symptoms of the disease and, like all other drugs for prostatitis, are divided into several groups depending on their mechanism of action.
Most often, because of the symptoms of this pathology, men prescribe the following medications:
- Antibacterial- prescribed in cases where the cause of the adenoma or prostatitis is an organ infection. Drugs in this group are chosen by the doctor who treats the disease.
- Anti-inflammatory- it is recommended to take these medicines for prostatitis to relieve urinary pain during the acute course of the disease.
- Anticonvulsant- These drugs for the treatment of prostate adenoma are effective in eliminating cramps and have a good relaxing effect on the muscles of the gland, which in turn activates blood circulation in this organ.
