Successful treatment of prostatitis is provided only by an integrated approach, including the use of drugs, adherence to diet, physiotherapy, use of folk recipes, elimination of irritants and elimination of the causes of the pathological process. Drug treatment, in turn, involves the use of drugs aimed at overcoming various problems. Drugs for the treatment of prostatitis are available in different dosage forms, which can combine several actions at once.
dosage forms of prostatitis drugs
Prostatitis drugs are available in the following dosage forms:
- tablets or capsules;
- injection drugs;
- rectal suppository;
- microclysters and instillations.
The latter can be done using both natural ingredients and medicines.
Pills
In the treatment of prostatitis you can not do without pills. In men, treatment of chronic prostatitis can be carried out with other dosage forms, but only in remission. You will have to take pills during exacerbations. Since most inflammatory processes in the prostate gland are triggered by infectious agents, treatment necessarily involves the use of different types of antibiotics. In addition, the following groups of drugs can be used in the treatment of all types of prostatitis, prescribed for each indication:
- alpha-blockers;
- non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs;
- muscle relaxant;
- analgesics;
- diuretics;
- hormonal drugs;
- immunostimulants.
In addition, complex drugs with a combined effect on prostatitis have been developed.
Antibiotics
Such drugs are almost always needed in cases of acute prostatitis caused by pathogenic microorganisms. When inflammation is caused by blockage in the pelvic organs, antibiotics may also be used if tests reveal the activity of non-specific or opportunistic microflora.
Self-medication with antibiotics, uncontrolled intake, use of such drugs on the advice of friends or the Internet is strictly prohibited. Based on the test results, only a qualified doctor can determine what medications are needed in a particular situation. Some patients need a combination of several antibiotics. Determining the type of drug, dosage, dosage regimens and duration of treatment is the sole responsibility of the urologist.
The following groups of antibiotics can be used to treat prostatitis:
- fluoroquinolones- destroys the DNA synthesis of cells of pathogenic microorganisms and thus suppresses their vital activities;
- tetracyclines- broad-spectrum antibiotics that suppress the pathogenic microflora and are difficult for patients to tolerate;
- cephalosporins- damage the cell membranes of pathogenic microorganisms, interfere with their life and reproduction, these antibiotics have many side effects, adversely affect the condition of the gastrointestinal tract, so almost in tabletsis not written and is recommended for application. intramuscular;
- penicillins- block the synthesis of proteins necessary for microorganisms to build cell structures, these funds, unlike the previous ones, have almost no side effects and are taken in tablet form;
- macrolides- drugs with the lowest toxicity to the human body, are well tolerated by patients, but are rarely prescribed due to their unproven effectiveness in the treatment of prostatitis.
The need for certain regimens and antibiotics in certain doses stems from their effects. Only after reaching a certain concentration, the drugs, which must be increased regularly, begin to have an effective effect on the pathogenic microflora. It takes ten days to a month to completely destroy. If the course is not completed, as in some patients, when they feel well, infectious substances can remain in the body, gain drug resistance, and begin to multiply again under certain conditions.
Alpha-adrenergic receptor blockers
This group of drugs is prescribed for severe urinary problems to relax the smooth muscles of the bladder and urethra.
Alpha-adrenergic blockers differ in their action - some have a selective effect on receptors, some do not have this selectivity.
Many alpha-blockers are hypotensive, so they are not prescribed for patients with low blood pressure. They have almost no side effects, prevent backflow of urine and prevent re-infection of the prostate.
Analgesics and antispasmodics
With a clear pain syndrome, especially with a course of inflammatory-purulent prostatitis, you can't do without painkillers. The pain in prostatitis is so severe that the patient cannot even touch the affected area. Many analgesics do not affect the pain area, but reduce the sensitivity of the brain centers in the cortex. Therefore, they should not be used regularly, they do not provide real help to solve the problem.
Antispasmodics have other effects. These drugs relax the smooth muscles of the organs, relieve spasms.
Anti-inflammatory drugs
These drugs are intended to eliminate inflammation, reduce swelling in the affected area, have antipyretic and analgesic effects, facilitate urination, but inflammation is eliminated with suppositories and microclusters.
Herbal preparations
Natural preparations are recommended for use in chronic forms of the disease. They require a long administration, but can improve the function of the prostate gland, suppress the activity of pathogenic microflora and strengthen the immune system, which fights infection for a long time.
Injections
Several types of antibiotics are recommended for intramuscular administration for prostatitis.
The most effective remedy for inflammation of the prostate, produced in solutions for intramuscular application, is a special drug with a complex effect: eliminates swelling, improves fluid circulation in the affected area, eliminates inflammation, increases smooth muscle tone, strengthens the immune system.
Rectal suppositories
Rectal suppositories are considered to be the most effective means of relieving pain and inflammation. Their effectiveness is due to the fact that they penetrate directly into the affected area, bypassing the blood, liver and gastrointestinal tract. Doctors recommend its use in the treatment of prostatitis:
- ichthyol candles; candles with
