Prostatitis is the most common urological disease today. And the reason for this is that the factors that lead to the development of prostatitis are very common in the daily life of men. In general, the treatment of prostatitis is a rather complex process, which consists of a complex of procedures, drugs, treatments and massage. Antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, painkillers and immune-boosting drugs help to achieve remission of the disease and to avoid the symptoms of prostatitis pain.
Methods of treating prostatitis with drugs
Various methods of prostate treatment are usually recommended, namely:
- Candles.Applied by the rectum, it affects the metabolism in the prostate. For 30-40 minutes after application, it is recommended to stay in a supine position. The course is from five to ten days. Contraindications: sensitivity to the components of the suppositories. Possible side effects: allergies (itching and burning).
- Injections against prostatitis.Drugs also stimulate the immune system and strengthen the vascular system.
- Instillations.This type of treatment makes it possible to deliver the drug directly to its destination - the drug is administered through the external opening of the urethra. It is recommended to inject about 5 ml of the drug mixture, while the bladder should be emptied before the procedure.
- Microcirculators.This method is often called "folk" due to the use of decoctions and infusions of medicinal plants commonly used in traditional medicine. It is based on the simultaneous temperature and medicinal action, which enhances its effectiveness. As a rule, it is recommended that microclippers be performed before going to bed - so that after the procedure the prostate gland does not succumb to tension and possible hypothermia. As medicines, infusions of water from sage, calendula, chamomile, mother balsam are used. The solution is injected into the rectum (in an amount not exceeding 100 ml), where it must be absorbed. Microcirculators are commonly used in conjunction with antibacterial therapy.
- Tablets for the treatment of the prostate.Most often, broad-spectrum antibacterial agents are used to treat a condition such as prostatitis, especially if the causative agent of the disease has not been identified. Such drugs can be divided into three groups: tetracycline group drugs, penicillin series drugs, fluoroquinolone group drugs.
Antibiotics for the treatment of prostatitis
Let's look at the last group of drugs for the treatment of prostatitis in more detail.
Fluoroquinolones are modern, relatively recently developed, antibacterial agents. Because of this, they have quite a number of advantages over other broad-spectrum antibiotics. Drugs of this group practically do not cause immunodeficiency in patients. Representatives of fluoroquinolones have an even wider range of effects on microorganisms.
Tetracycline preparations are used as antibacterial therapy for prostatitis somewhat less frequently than fluoroquinolones. Usually, specialists prescribe antibiotics for chronic and infectious prostatitis. In a non-infectious form, the method of treatment remains controversial and has not been fully explored.
In the treatment of prostatitis, antibacterial drugs are not prescribed immediately, but only after the doctor examines the patient to detect the infection. During this period, symptomatic treatment is usually recommended, which aims to combat inflammatory processes and pain symptoms.
Antibiotic treatment lasts about four weeks or more with mandatory clinical monitoring of the patient's condition. In the absence of a positive effect of treatment, antibacterial drugs are discarded, but not earlier than two weeks after the start of the course.
After successful treatment with antibiotics, a fairly long period of good health can be achieved in the patient. However, as a rule, painful sensations return over time, therefore treatment with antibacterial drugs alone should not be considered adequate. Good results are achieved with a treatment program that aims to increase the local and general resistance of the body to pathogens. In this case, you can count on success or at least a long recession.
Prostatitis: what to ask at the pharmacy?
Next, I would like to draw attention to the drugs for the treatment of prostate gland, which today have gained popularity in the market and are the most purchased drugs for prostatitis.
Herbal preparation with saval palm fruit extract. The drug is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia of the first and second stage, as well as for chronic prostatitis. Directions for use: Take one capsule daily after meals, drink plenty of fluids, do not chew. Contraindications: sensitivity to ingredients. Side effects: gastric pain (occurs quite rarely). If we evaluate the experience and feedback of patients, then the tool is the most purchased today.
A drug produced in the form of injections and suppositories. It has an organotropic effect on the prostate gland. The drug normalizes the processes of spermatogenesis and microcirculation, increases the tone of the muscles of the bladder. Indications for use: chronic prostatitis, prostate adenoma, etc. Side effects are possible in the form of allergic reactions. The drug is not the most expensive in price, it cures and not only relieves symptoms, it is not synthesized purely chemically, overdose has not been studied.
