As a treatment for prostatitis, both medication (pills, suppositories, injections) and non-medication (massage, physiotherapy) can be used. There are at least 150 different types of medications on sale that, according to the manufacturer, help fight prostate inflammation. Patients planning successful treatment need prior consultation with a urologist.
Before using any composition, you should know everything about it: what the drug contains, what is its pharmacological action, what are the indications and contraindications. It is also helpful to learn from the experience of those who have already been treated and to receive feedback from recovering patients.
What is the difference between drug release forms?
With inflammation of the prostate gland, the greatest risk is for the pathological microflora to continue its journey through the male reproductive system. Without proper treatment, the patient receives:
- epididymitis?
- balanoposthitis?
- urethritis;
- cystitis;
- pyelonephritis.
Without tests, it is impossible to determine what kind of cause is caused by prostatitis. Treatment should be based on the etiology of the disease, only then will it be effective.
The main causes of prostatitis and methods of treatment:
- Stagnation in prostate tissues. Mild anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed, the use of antibiotics is not recommended. A good result is given by means that stimulate the work of the blood and the lymph vessels that supply the prostate.
- bacterial infection. This is the most dangerous of all possible variants of the disease. Strong antibiotics are needed, otherwise the inflammatory process will spread through the urinary system and will cover the urethra, bladder and kidneys. As the infection progresses through the reproductive system, the testicles and body of the penis will suffer. In the future there will be impotence, acute infectious prostatitis and acute pyelonephritis. In outpatient clinics, the patient uses antibacterial drugs and immunomodulators, while in a hospital setting, a strong course of immunostimulants and targeted antibiotics against specific pathogens. The treatment is carried out under the control of the examinations.
- Viral infection. Rarely, it requires the support of the immune system. Medicine can not offer specific measures other than taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
- Malignant and benign tumors, prostate hyperplasia. In this case, in addition to medication, the help of a surgeon may be needed. After the diffuse or nodular pathological process is eliminated, the condition of the prostate is normalized.
According to the form of release, the following types of drugs for prostatitis are distinguished:
- Injections. Used in a hospital, in severe cases they help to quickly stop the inflammatory process in the prostate tissues.
- Instillations. This term refers to the introduction of a drug into the prostate gland through the urethral lumen. This procedure is usually performed by a urologist. Approximately 5 ml of the drug is injected by volume.
- Candles. The most common method of treatment at home, a very convenient and popular form of release. All kinds of medicines for prostatitis are produced in candles: painkillers, antiseptics, vasodilators, antibacterials, immunostimulants and others. The course of application of the suppositories should be from 5 to 21 days, after the end of the treatment, the patient must pass a control urine test.
- Tablets. In some cases, the use of oral agents that have a systemic effect is recommended. This form of release has unconditional advantages: with prostatitis in the background of an infection of the urogenital system, many foci of the pathological process can be destroyed simultaneously.
- Microcirculators. Classic treatment. It consists of the influence of the prostate gland through the wall of the rectum. This is a very safe and convenient method, the only drawback of which is the preliminary emptying of the intestines. Therapeutic enemas differ from the usual composition and low dose.
- Ointments. They are relatively rarely used in the treatment of prostatitis due to uncomfortable application to the perineum.
At the same time, you can use different forms of drug release, for example, tablets and suppositories. The choice of treatment strategy should be guided by the recommendations of the treating physician.
Caution! Control trials should be performed no earlier than 2 weeks after the end of the last use of the drug. Patients receiving treatment without the system have a high risk of chronic prostatitis and disability.
The most popular and cheap drugs
Prices for different groups of drugs vary considerably, it is also important to consider the place from which the drug is purchased. In large drugstore chains and online pharmacies it is always cheaper than in small and little known pharmacies.
Fact! The doctor does not prescribe a specific name of the drug, it indicates the active substance. The doctor's prescription is deciphered by the pharmacist. It is profitable for this specialist to sell an expensive drug, so the patient should ask for cheap analogues.
Separately, it is worth noting such a class of drugs for prostatitis as alpha blockers. Drugs affect the hormonal processes that occur in the male reproductive system and help eliminate the conditions for inflammation and swelling of the prostate gland. Because drugs interfere with the chemical reactions that testosterone is involved in, it is important to see an andrologist before use.
Caution! There are a number of products that reduce the effectiveness of alpha blockers.
Diet is a mandatory part of treatment, otherwise the result will be disappointing.
What do people say?
Patients who have been treated under the control of analgesics and regularly consulted their doctor believe that cheap prostatitis drugs are no less effective than their expensive counterparts.
