After all, one of the causes of prostatitis are sexually transmitted diseases, infections of the genitourinary system. Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate. This disease requires immediate treatment. Indeed, inflammation is usually diagnosed already in an acute form. In addition, prostatitis leads to many complications and unpleasant consequences. Therefore, it is so important to choose the most effective drug for prostatitis. This should only be done by a doctor after an examination.
Prostatitis - what is it?
As already mentioned, prostatitis is an inflammatory process in the prostate. The ducts and urethra also become inflamed. In the absence of prompt treatment, complications can arise, up to prostate cancer, adenoma, impotence, infertility, stricture of the urethra. With such complications, it is almost impossible to restore the full functioning of the prostate.
Very often, bacterial prostatitis develops. It is caused by many bacteria that can be sexually transmitted. Therefore, in order to maintain your male health, you must avoid promiscuity. Bacterial inflammation of the prostate can also occur against the background of hypothermia, other infectious and viral diseases.
Nonbacterial prostatitis is also often diagnosed. The causes of this inflammation can be the following factors:
- Stagnation in the pelvic organs;
- capillary blood stasis;
- Low immunity;
- nervous tension;
- Congenital anomalies in the development of the pelvic organs;
- Sedentary lifestyle, sedentary work;
- Lack of moderate physical activity;
- Regular heavy lifting
- Hormonal disorders;
- Injuries of the pelvic organs.
It should be noted that timely treatment guarantees a full recovery of the patient. If prostatitis is detected already at the active stage of development, there is a risk that the disease will become chronic. Therefore, every man should know the first manifestations of prostate inflammation. It is therefore worth noting the frequent urge to go to the toilet. If a young man goes to the toilet more than twice at night, you can suspect the appearance of prostatitis. In this case, urination is painful, intermittent. And the bladder does not empty completely.
The inflammatory process in the prostate is always accompanied by pain. The pain extends to the perineum, testicles, anus, rectum, back, legs, lower back, lower abdomen. Sometimes the pain occurs during bowel movements. Rarely, patients complain of chills and fever. But it can also be. In this regard, the man develops increased fatigue, irritability.
Inflammation of the prostate has a detrimental effect on male potency. Due to blockage of the ducts, narrowing of the duct, insufficient production of sperm by the testicles occurs. In addition, over time, the potency decreases, an insufficient erection develops. A sign of prostatitis can be premature ejaculation, or its complete absence, the complete absence of orgasm.
What are the treatments for prostatitis?
The choice of treatment for prostatitis also involves the correct choice of drugs. Depending on the severity of the course of the disease, its stage and form, different drugs are selected. So, there are such forms of inflammation of the prostate: bacterial, acute, non-bacterial, chronic, asymptomatic. For example, acute and chronic prostatitis are treated with radically different drugs.
Diagnosis plays an important role in drug selection. Only after the obtained results can the doctor prescribe the most effective drugs for prostatitis. Regardless of the form of the disease, tablets differ in their speed of action. They are awarded anyway. These drugs can be natural, antibiotic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory. These drugs have a wide spectrum of action. This group of drugs can be divided into the following classes: fluoroquinolones, penicillin class, tetracyclines.
Other therapies include:
- Candles. Rectal suppositories have an analgesic and antibacterial effect.
- Injections. The drug enters the body very quickly, which quickly stimulates the work of the vascular and immune systems.
- Instillation. The drug is injected directly into the prostate through the urethra.
- Microclysters. Various drugs are used in the form of decoctions and infusions of medicinal herbs.
For a quick recovery, it is customary to carry out complex therapy. So, it is customary to simultaneously use these drugs for prostatitis: tablets, suppositories, injections. After recovery, men are recommended to increase immunity. Also, in addition to medication, urologists advise taking a course of physiotherapy, prostate massage. Such manipulations will quickly rid the male body of prostate stagnation, improve blood circulation in the prostate.
Antibiotics for prostatitis
These drugs are always prescribed in case of bacterial prostatitis. First, the type of bacteria that caused the disease is determined. Be sure to perform a bacterial culture to identify the resistance of the microorganism to the antibiotic. After all, if the drug is not prescribed correctly, prostatitis will continue to develop. Today, fluoroquinolones are very popular and very effective. These drugs are used to treat chronic prostatitis.
Tetracyclines are used less and less for the treatment of the prostate. Indeed, these drugs are very difficult for the body to tolerate and can cause diseases of other systems and organs. Preparations from the penicillin group are widely used. They have a good antibacterial effect.
Analgesics for prostatitis
Painkillers are prescribed for any form of prostatitis. They will help in the shortest possible time to stop the pain syndrome, relieve the patient's condition. In the case of chronic prostatitis, such drugs are necessary. With repeated relapses, painkillers quickly relieve discomfort in the scrotum, perineum and testicles. Urination becomes painless.
To eliminate the pain syndrome, most often rectal suppositories are prescribed. This is explained by the fact that candles have a quick and direct effect on the prostate. When injected into the rectum, the suppository instantly dissolves, the active substance is quickly absorbed into the general bloodstream. Thus, the pain is significantly reduced already after 5-10 minutes after the injection. It is very important to administer the medicine correctly. The man should take a lying position and not get up for at least half an hour after the introduction. During this period, the drug will completely dissolve and begin to exert its analgesic effect.
Anesthetic suppositories are very popular and very effective in the treatment of prostatitis.
As for painkillers, they are not so popular among specialists. But, but men prefer them. They do not differ in speed. In order for such a drug to begin its action, it is necessary to complete the entire course. A decrease in pain only occurs 30-40 minutes after application. Under the influence of such drugs, relaxation of smooth muscles is observed, which eliminates spasms and pain.
herbal remedies for prostatitis
Modern methods of treating prostatitis in men include the use of herbal medicines. The composition of such preparations includes only herbal ingredients. There are no side effects from these drugs. But among the contraindications it is worth noting only the individual intolerance of the individual components of the remedy. Prostate treatment with herbal drugs lasts a little longer than with synthetic drugs. After all, it is necessary for the substance to accumulate in the body. But, a positive result is guaranteed.
Herbal substances are used in the treatment of acute and chronic prostatitis. Since the symptoms of chronic prostatitis occur intermittently, frequent use of antibiotics can have a detrimental effect on the whole body. Therefore, natural remedies for chronic prostatitis are the best option.
Other medicines for prostate treatment
In the complex treatment of the prostate, other drugs are also used. If prostatitis is viral in nature, the doctor prescribes antiviral drugs. Often these drugs complement a complex treatment. Antiviral drugs negatively affect all viruses, have an immunomodulatory effect.
A new drug for the treatment of prostate inflammation is a drug that belongs to the group of bioregulatory peptides. The action of the drug is aimed at stimulating the independent regeneration of the prostate. Also, under the influence of the drug, the body itself begins to regulate metabolic processes in the tissues and cells of the prostate. Thus, the rapid elimination of inflammation, pain relief is not observed.
Anti-androgen drugs help eliminate the inflammatory process in bacterial prostatitis. You can reduce pressure in the urethra, eliminate prostate and bladder spasms using alpha-blockers. These drugs increase urination, normalize blood flow in the pelvic organs. This is very important if, as a result of prostatitis, a man began to complain of potency disorders.
As you can see, there are many drugs for prostate treatment. It is very important to recognize the problem early. Any drugs to eliminate the inflammatory process in the prostate are prescribed only by a doctor after a full examination of the patient. And complex therapy will definitely eliminate the signs of prostatitis.
