The cure for prostatitis in men can be found in almost every pharmacy. The choice of types of drugs and media impresses with its range and diversity. However, each of them has its own pharmacological effect on a man's body, so the choice of a particular type should be made exclusively by a specialist and the selected drug should be used strictly according to the doctor's prescription.
Pharmacological groups of drugs
The list of groups of drugs for the treatment of prostate inflammation looks like this:
- Antibiotics. Their action aims to eliminate the microorganisms that have become the causative agents of the disease. All are used only when a bacterial infection is recognized as the cause of prostatitis. Three main classes of antibiotics are commonly used: penicillins, tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones.
- Antiquemedicines. They are used when the cause of prostatitis is a viral infection.
- Alpha blockers. They help to relax the smooth muscle tissue of the prostate and facilitate the outflow of urine to the patient. They can completely suppress the activity of the sympathetic nervous system, which causes uncontrolled contractions of the smooth muscles of the internal organs. There are drugs that specifically affect the sympathetic nervous system, stopping only its effect on the prostate.
- Non-steroidaldrugs with anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic action. Such a treatment stops the symptoms of inflammation of the prostate, reduces the tone of the muscles of the organ and perineum.
- hormonalmedicines. They are intended for the treatment of inflammation, the reduction of the swelling of the organ, the normalization of the process of urinary excretion.
- Phytotherapeuticdosage forms. Made with natural plant ingredients. It is a great way to reduce inflammation, relieve prostate swelling, reduce pain and discomfort.
Types of drugs
Today, in pharmacies, you can buy the following types of drugs, which are distinguished by the method and the place of exposure:
- Tablets and capsules. The difference between these forms is in their structure - in the first, the consistency is dense, while in the second, the structure consists of a gelatinous shell and the drug contained within. Both dosage forms are taken orally (orally) orally before, during or after meals. In addition, some medicines need to be rinsed with a liquid (water).
- Injectable solutions (injectable). When you use this type of treatment, the drug penetrates the organ almost immediately. Intramuscular administration is more commonly used, although some solutions are administered intravenously.
- CandlesThis is another effective way to treat prostatitis. The advantages of anal suppositories are that they have both antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and analgesic action. Inserted directly into the rectum, the patient should currently be in a supine position on the side and remain in this position for at least another half hour after administration of the drug. During this time, the suppository has time to dissolve and be absorbed by the mucosa. The course of treatment is usually 5-10 days.
- Instillations. They are used quite rarely and only in the hospital. The reason for this was the method of administration, thanks to which the drug is delivered almost to the focus of inflammation, and therefore the latter passes quickly. The drug is injected through the urethra, ie the penis of the man, using a catheter. This is only possible in stable conditions and only by experienced medical staff.
- Microcirculators- This is another type of medicine for treating prostate inflammation. These dosage forms are based on herbal decoctions and their main advantage is in their anti-inflammatory action. It is true that there is one thing, but not all doctors recognize this type of treatment as a complete cure. They consider microencapsulators to be one of the means of alternative medicine, suitable only for the prevention of prostatitis in men.
Prior to diagnosis, the physician prescribes diagnostic tests for the patient and performs an examination.
Depending on the symptoms of the disease, the stage of prostatitis and how long it runs, the type and treatment regimen are determined. For each form of prostate inflammation, the treatment and medications used will be different. It is important to consider the following factors:
- a man suffers from chronic or acute prostatitis.
