The urogenital system of men is prone to the development of inflammatory processes associated with exposure to the tissues of the organs of the pathogenic microflora. Non-compliance with hygiene rules, unprotected sex, weakened immunity, lack of regular sports activities - all these are factors that cause the development of stagnation and inflammation of the prostate gland.
The symptoms of acute prostatitis are the basis for immediate medical attention and the chronic form of the disease requires constant monitoring.
Treatment of various forms of prostatitis
To date, doctors use certain treatment regimens for inflammatory prostate disease. The choice of medication depends largely on the form of prostatitis and the degree of manifestation of its symptoms.
In acute inflammation, rapid-acting drugs with antibacterial properties are indicated.
The doctor should prescribe treatment after examining and determining the type of microorganisms that caused the development of prostatitis. Sometimes, with acute symptoms, antibacterial drugs are prescribed as soon as the patient comes in contact. In the future, after receiving the results of a laboratory test, your urologist may prescribe another medicine for prostatitis.
The basis for the appointment of one or another type of antibiotic is the results of microbiological culture.
If the acute form of the disease is treated relatively quickly, then with chronic prostatitis, treatment can take up to six months. Usually the doctor prescribes a whole range of medicines to be taken according to the drawn up regimen. It is important to remember that the prostate gland in a chronic disease can become inflamed repeatedly, so patients should visit a doctor regularly and perform a course of treatment that is prescribed after a second examination.
Preparations for the treatment of prostatitis are selected depending on the severity of the signs of the disease and its causes. Inflammation should be treated with medications that aim to reduce the symptoms, which usually manifest with urinary problems, pain syndrome and deteriorating quality of sex life. If the drugs for prostatitis are chosen correctly, the patient after a week notices a decrease in pelvic discomfort and the volume of discharge from the urethra, normalization of urine output.
The rapid action of the product is not a guarantee for its best effectiveness.
Many prostatitis medications reduce the incidence of the disease in a fairly short period of time, so patients consider them to be the most effective. In fact, this is not entirely true, as not all drugs can eliminate the cause of the disease.
The medication prescribed for prostatitis should be selected after identifying the causative agents.
Conduct antibiotic therapy
Before using a prostatitis medicine with antibacterial properties, the patient should be examined, which includes not only an external examination, but also a study of blood, semen, urine, bacterioscopy of the urethral swab. The result of the analysis allows the urologist to accurately determine the choice of an antibacterial drug. If multiple types of germs are detected at the same time, the prescribed course should consist of two or more drugs.
When two antibiotics are prescribed, they can be given in different ways, for example, in the form of an injection and a tablet.
With acute prostatitis, antibiotic treatment is mandatory. With mild symptoms of the disease, antibiotics are indicated to prevent infection. The urologist decides which medications the patient should take after receiving a copy of the test.
The modern approach to the treatment of acute inflammatory prostate disease involves the use of antibiotics for a week and a half. For the treatment of the chronic form, the regimen is drawn up for a longer period of time - about two months.
A drug containing levofloxacin in its composition relieves inflammation well. This substance is able to accumulate rapidly in the affected tissues and destroy streptococci and staphylococci. The drug is very effective, but can lead to the development of side effects on the part of the digestive system and cardiovascular system.
Before starting treatment with the drug, you should carefully study the side effects described in the annotation and the rules for taking the tablets.
The tablet should be taken only after meals, otherwise it may irritate the lining of the stomach and intestines. If this medicine for prostatitis causes a severe deterioration in well-being, it is best to consult a doctor.
In chronic inflammation of the prostate, a drug that acts on various types of pathogens has a good effect.
While taking the drug, serious disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, including the liver, may occur, so doctors recommend supplementing the course of treatment with hepatoprotectants. In case of side effects of the body, the urologist changes the scheme according to which prostatitis is treated in men and the drugs are selected according to the existing pathologies.
The drug, which belongs to the group of macrolides, is effective against the simplest microorganisms - mycoplasma, ureaplasma, chlamydia
Drugs from a number of macrolides and cephalosporins are used to detect chlamydia and mycoplasmosis. The use of the penicillin group is also justified in the treatment of prostate disease.
Anti-inflammatory drugs
After the examination, the doctor decides which anti-inflammatory drug to prescribe to the patient. The active ingredients of the funds help to restore the process of urination and reduce pain.
You should ask your doctor about medicines that relieve pain and swelling. In chronic inflammation, a drug is used with great success today, which increases the blood supply to the gland, prevents thrombosis, relieves swelling and improves the process of urination. The main ingredient of the drug is dried beef prostate. Helps increase potency, normalize microcirculation in the genitals and reduce the symptoms of inflammation. Many new drugs designed to treat prostatitis contain this animal ingredient with effectiveness confirmed by urologists.
As an auxiliary ingredient, the preparation contains the most important trace element for the male body, zinc, which helps to restore strength, often reduced in chronic prostatitis. Candles can be used for hemorrhoids and damage to the intestinal mucosa.
Drugs with analgesic action
The pain that occurs during exacerbations of the disease helps to remove drugs with analgesic effect.
The NSAID has a good effect, which penetrates quickly into the prostate gland and has an analgesic effect.
In inflammatory processes, accompanied by serious problems with the outflow of urine, urologists prescribe muscle relaxants, which help to relax the muscle tissues of the prostate and bladder and restore urination. The drug is also used for hypertension, with a tendency to low blood pressure and liver disorder, it is contraindicated.
Folk ways
Doctors do not deny the effectiveness of folk remedies in the treatment of prostatitis. Various decoctions can be used to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. With weight and discomfort in the pelvis are used chamomile, St. John's wort, thyme. It is useful to add honey to ready-made therapeutic drinks.
From the decoctions of these same plants, you can make therapeutic enemas, baths. Before the procedure, it is useful to add 5-8 drops of lavender or tea tree essential oil to the water collected in the container. Sometimes doctors recommend taking baths with coniferous concentrate. With prostatitis, it is not necessary to allow hypothermia, so as it cools, it is recommended to add hot water to the bath. The duration of the bath is on average 20 minutes.
When symptoms of prostatitis appear, you can buy candles, which include honey and propolis.
These products are very useful, as they have a strong antiseptic effect. Some men make their own suppositories using wax and honey.
Various tinctures also have a beneficial effect. They are made from plants, poplar bark, propolis. Do not forget that natural ingredients can cause an allergic reaction. This method of treatment should not be used if the man has a high sensitivity to herbs. Honey is also very allergenic and should not be used if you are allergic to other bee products. If such reactions of the body are not observed, honey can be consumed daily in two to three tablespoons.
In order to remove the congestion, doctors recommend massaging the prostate. This procedure is performed with a finger inserted into the rectum or a special device, the cost of which depends directly on the number of operations. The device can be equipped with a vibrating mechanism. Such an effect is useful for the swelling and stagnation of prostate secretion in the gland. Any medical procedures should be performed only after a thorough examination and consultation with a urologist.
