The genitourinary 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 provoke the development of stagnation and inflammation in the prostate gland.
Symptoms of acute prostatitis are the basis for immediate medical attention, and the chronic form of the disease requires constant monitoring.
Therapy of various forms of prostatitis
To date, doctors use certain treatment regimens for inflammatory prostate disease. The choice of drugs largely depends on the form of prostatitis and the degree of manifestation of its symptoms.
In acute inflammation, fast-acting drugs with antibacterial properties are indicated.
The doctor must prescribe treatment after examination and determination of the type of microorganisms that caused the development of prostatitis. Sometimes, with acute symptoms, antibacterial drugs are prescribed immediately when the patient contacts. In the future, after receiving the results of a laboratory test, the urologist may prescribe another medicine for prostatitis.
The basis for the appointment of one or another type of antibiotics are the results of microbiological culture.
If the acute form of the disease is treated relatively quickly, therapy with chronic prostatitis can last up to six months. Usually the doctor prescribes a whole range of drugs that should be taken according to the drawn up scheme. It is important to remember that the prostate gland in chronic disease can repeatedly become inflamed, so patients should regularly visit a doctor and carry out a prescribed course of treatment after a second examination.
Preparations for the treatment of prostatitis are selected based on the severity of the signs of the disease and its causes. Inflammation should be treated with medications to reduce symptoms, which usually manifest as problems with urination, pain syndrome, and deterioration in the quality of sex life. If the drugs for prostatitis are chosen correctly, the patient after a week notes a decrease in discomfort in the pelvis and the volume of discharge from the urethra, normalization of the outflow of urine.
The rapid action of the product is no guarantee of its best efficacy.
Many drugs for prostatitis reduce the manifestations of the disease in a fairly short time, so patients consider them the most effective. In fact, this is not entirely true, since not all drugs are able to eliminate the cause of the disease.
The remedy prescribed for prostatitis should be selected after identifying the provoking factors.
Conducting antibiotic therapy
Before using a prostatitis medicine with antibacterial properties, the patient must undergo an examination, which includes not only an external examination, but also a study of blood, sperm, urine, bacterioscopy of a smear from the urethra. The result of the analysis allows the urologist to accurately determine the choice of an antibacterial drug. If several types of microbes are detected at the same time, the prescribed course should consist of two or more drugs.
When two antibiotics are prescribed, they can be administered in different ways, for example, in the form of an injection and tablets.
With acute prostatitis, antibiotic therapy 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 test transcript.
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 scheme is drawn up for a longer period - about two months.
A drug containing levofloxacin in its composition well relieves inflammation. This substance is able to rapidly accumulate in the affected tissues and destroy streptococci and staphylococci. The drug is very effective, but it can lead to the development of undesirable effects on the part of the digestive system and the cardiovascular system.
Before starting treatment with the drug, it is necessary to carefully study the side effects described in the annotation and the rules for taking tablets.
The tablet should be taken only after meals, otherwise irritation of the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines may occur. If this drug for prostatitis causes a sharp deterioration in well-being, it is better to consult a doctor.
In chronic inflammation of the prostate, a drug that acts on various types of pathogens has a good effect.
Against the background of taking the drug, severe disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, including the liver, may appear, so doctors recommend supplementing the course of treatment with hepatoprotectors. In case of adverse reactions of the body, the urologist changes the scheme by which prostatitis in men is treated, and drugs are selected based on the existing pathologies.
The drug, belonging to the group of macrolides, is effective against the simplest microorganisms: mycoplasma, ureaplasma, chlamydia
When chlamydia and mycoplasmosis are detected, drugs from numerous macrolides and cephalosporins are used. 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 components of the funds help to restore the urination process and reduce pain.
About what medications relieve pain and swelling, you should ask your doctor. In chronic inflammation, a drug is currently used with great success that increases the blood supply to the gland, prevents thrombosis, relieves swelling and improves the urination process. The main component of the remedy is dried bovine prostate. Helps to increase potency, normalize microcirculation in the genital organs and reduce the symptoms of inflammation. Many new drugs designed for the treatment of prostatitis contain this animal component with efficacy confirmed by urologists.
As an auxiliary component, the preparation contains the most important trace element for the male body, zinc, which helps to restore potency, often reduced in chronic prostatitis. Candles can be used for hemorrhoids and damage to the intestinal mucosa.
Drugs with analgesic effect
The pain that occurs during exacerbations of the disease helps to remove drugs with an analgesic effect.
The NSAID drug has a good effect, which quickly penetrates the prostate gland and has an analgesic effect.
In inflammatory processes, accompanied by severe problems with the outflow of urine, urologists prescribe muscle relaxants, which help relax the muscle tissues of the prostate and bladder and restore urination. The drug is also used for hypertension, with a tendency to low pressure and disruption of the liver, it is contraindicated.
Folk ways
Doctors do not deny the effectiveness of folk recipes in the treatment of prostatitis. Various decoctions can be used to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. With heaviness and discomfort in the pelvis, chamomile, St. John's wort, thyme are used. It is useful to add honey to the prepared healing drinks.
From the decoctions of these same plants you can make therapeutic enemas, baths. Before the procedure, it is helpful 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, therefore, as it cools, it is advisable to add warm water to the bath. The duration of the bath is on average 20 minutes.
When the symptoms of prostatitis appear, you can buy candles, which include honey and propolis.
These products are very useful, as they have a pronounced antiseptic effect. Some men make their own suppositories using wax and honey.
Various tinctures also have a beneficial effect. They are prepared from plants, aspen bark, propolis. Don't 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 highly 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 every day in two or three tablespoons.
To remove 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 directly depends on the number of functions. The device can be equipped with a vibration mechanism. This effect is useful for swelling and stagnation of the prostate secretion in the gland. Any medical procedures should only be done after a full examination and consultation with a urologist.
