Prostatitis is the most common urological disease today. And the reason for this is that the factors that lead to the development of prostatitis are very common in men's everyday life. By and large, the treatment of prostatitis is a rather complicated process, which consists of a complex of procedures, medicines, therapies, and massage. To achieve remission of the disease and to help avoid the pain symptoms of prostatitis, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, painkillers and immune system strengthening drugs help.
Methods of treatment of prostatitis with drugs
Several methods are usually recommended for the treatment of the prostate gland, namely:
- Candles.Applied rectally, affect the metabolism in the prostate. For 30-40 minutes after application, it is recommended to remain in the supine position. The course is 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 makes it possible to deliver the medicine directly to its destination - the drug is administered through the external opening of the urethra. It is recommended to inject about 5 ml of the drug mixture, while the bladder must be emptied before the procedure.
- Microclysters.This method is often called "folk" because of the use of infusions and decoctions from medicinal plants commonly used in traditional medicine. It is based on the simultaneous temperature and medicinal effects, which enhances its effectiveness. As a rule, microclysters are recommended to be carried out 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 of not more than 100 ml), where it should be absorbed. Microclysters are usually used in parallel with treatment with antibacterial drugs.
- Tablets for the treatment of the prostate gland.Most often, for the treatment of such an ailment as prostatitis, broad-spectrum antibacterial agents are used, 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, relatively recently developed, antibacterial agents. Due to this, 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 of the tetracycline group 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 treatment method 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 to detect infection. During this period, symptomatic therapy is usually recommended, which is aimed at combating inflammatory processes and pain symptoms.
Antibiotic treatment lasts about 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 after two weeks of the started course.
After successful therapy with antibiotics, 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 by a therapy program aimed at increasing the local and general resistance of the body to pathogenic factors. In this case, you can count on success or at least a long remission.
Prostatitis: what to ask at the pharmacy?
Next, I would like to draw attention to drugs for the treatment of the prostate gland, which today have gained popularity in the market and are the most purchased drugs for prostatitis.
