Inflammatory processes in the prostate are typical of mature men after 40. The pathology is caused by various hormonal imbalances, viruses or bacteria, weak immune protections, geniturative and sexually transmitted diseases and prolonged absence of sex.Treatment usually does not cause problems, as the pharmaceutical market offers many modern drugs that effectively deal with prostatitis.Only a qualified urologist should decide which prostatitis medicine should take the particular patient.
Forms of drugs used for prostatitis
Medicines prescribed for the treatment of prostatitis are available in the form of tablets, suppositories, installs, injections or microen.Tablet drugs are usually represented by antibiotics with a rather wide range of action that are prescribed in cases where the pathology causes have not yet been identified.In general, antibiotics are represented by three groups of medicines:
- Fluoroquinols.
- Penicillins.
- Tetracyclines.
Often, suppositories are used in the treatment of prostatitis, which are used rectally (they are placed in the anus).Such drugs effectively relieve pain and have an antibacterial effect.Injection solutions have the most enthusiastic penetration into the body tissues.They have a systematic effect, have a stimulating effect on the immune system and vascular system.
According to experts, maximum therapeutic efficacy is achieved with the rectal method of administration, which is why it is preferable to other methods of treating prostatitis.
Often, treatment of prostatitis also involves installing procedures when the drug is injected directly into the patient's urethral canal.Before applying the solution, the man must empty his bladder.No more than 5 ml of procedure solution is applied.Basic therapy can be supplemented with folk remedies such as microemma, in which the treatment of prostatitis is presented in the form of herbal decoction or infusions.Microemma technique is based on a complex temperature-medical effect.Such treatment should be performed before going to bed, since after hypothermia of microemma or prostate surge it is unacceptable.
Pharmacological groups of prostatitis drugs
The treatment of prostatitis is always complicated, including the use of medicines by various pharmacological groups: antibiotics, painkillers, α-blockers, muscle relaxants and drugs containing hormones, antiviral and anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as phytotherapeutic agents, etc.Treatment with tablet antibiotics is usually prescribed for bacterial prostatitis of chronic and acute forms and lasts for about a month.In case of prostatitis complications, treatment is performed by injection of medicines.If the cause of the infection cannot be identified, then combined antibiotic therapy is performed.
Painkillers significantly alleviate the course of prostatitis, but they should be taken as prescribed, as the uncontrolled use of analgesics can cause many unwanted side effects.The use of α-blockers is due to the relaxing effect of these drugs on the muscles and neck of the bladder, which significantly reduces the pain associated with urination.But such drugs cause side effects such as hypotension or headache.Such drugs are prescribed for chronic prostatitis of non -bacterial etiology.
Often, the body of a person with prostatitis must restore and strengthen the immune defenses, which is assisted by drugs in the group of immunomodulators, which include interferons and other drugs.
Muscle relaxants, which reduce the tone of muscles located in the perineum, are also used in the treatment of prostatitis.The use of such drugs is due to the fact that it is the tension of these muscles that causes a feeling of discomfort and pain.The use of drugs containing hormones in treatment is determined by the need to lower testosterone levels, which causes prostate growth.As a result of hormone therapy, the intensity of the inflammatory process decreases and hormonal levels are normalized.Sometimes, as an additional treatment of prostatitis, herbal preparations are used to eliminate swelling, inflammation and pain.Products based on herbal components are often used in the treatment of chronic forms of prostate inflammation.
In the case of prostatitis of viral etiology, the use of antiviral agents is indicated.Therapy is often supplemented with non -steroidal anti -inflammatory drugs.The effect of such drugs is aimed at eliminating pain, swelling and fever, which accompany inflammatory processes in the prostate.Suppositories containing anti -inflammatory non -steroidal substances are particularly effective.Drug therapy often involves the use of medicines that improve blood flow to the prostate.
There are many effective medicines for the treatment of inflammation in the prostate gland, but they cannot be prescribed independently, even when there are no contraindications at all.
