Prostatitis is the most common urological disease today. And the reason for this is that the factors leading to the development of prostatitis are very common in men's daily life. In general, the treatment of prostatitis is a rather complicated process, which consists of a complex of procedures, medicines, therapies and massages. To achieve remission of the disease and to help avoid the pain symptoms of prostatitis, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, pain relievers and drugs to strengthen the immune system help.
Methods of treatment of prostatitis with drugs
Several methods are usually recommended for the treatment of the prostate gland, namely:
- Candles.Applied rectally, it affects the metabolism of the prostate. For 30-40 minutes after application, it is recommended to remain in the supine position. The course lasts from five to ten days. Contraindications: sensitivity to the components of suppositories. Possible side effects: allergies (itching and burning).
- Injections against prostatitis.The drugs also stimulate the immune system and strengthen the vascular system.
- Instillations.This type of therapy allows the medicine to be delivered directly to its destination: the drug is administered through the external opening of the urethra. It is recommended to inject approximately 5ml of the drug mixture, while the bladder should be emptied prior to the procedure.
- Microenemas.This method is often called "folk" due to the use of infusions and decoctions of medicinal plants commonly used in traditional medicine. It is based on simultaneous temperature and medicinal effects, which improves its effectiveness. As a rule, it is recommended to perform microenemas before going to bed, so that after the procedure the prostate gland does not succumb to tension and possible hypothermia. As medicines, water infusions of sage, calendula, chamomile, motherwort are used. The solution is injected into the rectum (in an amount not exceeding 100 ml), where it must be absorbed. Microenemas are usually used in parallel with treatment with antibacterial drugs.
- Tablets for the treatment of the prostate gland.Most often, broad-spectrum antibacterial agents are used for the treatment of a disorder such as prostatitis, especially if the causative agent of the disease has not been identified. Such drugs can be divided into three groups: drugs of the tetracycline group, drugs of the penicillin series, drugs of the fluoroquinolone group.
Antibiotics for the treatment of prostatitis
Let us dwell on the last group of drugs for the treatment of prostatitis in more detail.
Fluoroquinolones are modern antibacterial agents, of relatively recent development. For this reason, they have a fairly large number of advantages over other broad-spectrum antibiotics. Medicines of this group practically do not cause immunodeficiency in patients. Representatives of fluoroquinolones have an even wider range of effects on microorganisms.
Preparations from the group of tetracyclines are used as an antibacterial treatment for prostatitis somewhat less frequently than fluoroquinolones. Usually, specialists prescribe antibiotics for chronic and infectious prostatitis. With a non-infectious form, the method of treatment remains controversial and not fully explored.
In the treatment of prostatitis, antibacterial drugs are not prescribed immediately, but only after the doctor examines the patient for infection. During this period, symptomatic therapy is usually recommended, which is aimed at combating inflammatory processes and pain symptoms.
Antibiotic treatment lasts approximately four weeks or more with mandatory clinical monitoring of the patient's condition. In the absence of a positive result of treatment, antibacterial drugs are refused, but not earlier than two weeks after the start of the course.
After effective antibiotic therapy, a sufficiently 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 sufficient. Good results are obtained with a therapeutic program aimed at increasing the local and general resistance of the organism to pathogenic factors. In this case, you can count on success, or at least a long remission.
Prostatitis: what to ask in the pharmacy?
Next, I would like to draw attention to drugs for the treatment of the prostate gland, which today have gained popularity on the market and are the most purchased drugs for prostatitis.
Herbal preparation with sabal palm fruit extract. The drug is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia of the first and second stages, as well as chronic prostatitis. How to use: Take one capsule a day after meals, drink plenty of fluids, do not chew. Contraindications: sensitivity to components. Side effects: gastralgia (occurs quite rarely). If we evaluate the experience and feedback of patients, the tool today is the most purchased.
A drug that is produced in the form of injections and suppositories. It has an organotropic effect on the prostate gland. The drug normalizes spermatogenesis and microcirculation processes, increases the tone of the bladder muscles. Indications for use: chronic prostatitis, prostate adenoma, etc. Side effects in the form of allergic reactions are possible.
