In recent years, the attitude towards the treatment of prostate adenoma and prostatitis has changed significantly. Such a diagnosis is no longer an unambiguous indicator for surgical intervention, drugs have proven to be quite effective. Of course, this greatly lengthens the recovery process, but patients do not have to go through a long recovery period after surgery. The functionality of the prostate is regulated with the help of tablets. Such treatment is designed to help a man cope with aggravating symptoms as much as possible.
As a rule, drugs perfectly cure the initial stage of prostate adenoma and relieve complications in later stages. This is explained by the fact that drug methods can slow down or completely stop the process of hyperplasia of organic tissues.
Drug treatment of prostate adenoma is not mandatory, therefore each patient has the right to refuse it by choosing an operation. Patients are often motivated by the fact that these drugs have many side effects.
If drug treatment is refused, the following complications are likely to develop:
- progression of the disease, as well as aggravation of the symptoms already manifested;
- decrease in the quality of vital signs;
- an increased need for surgery;
- acute signs of urinary retention.
Modern studies have shown that drugs for the treatment of prostate adenoma and prostatitis have become softer for the body in general and harmful to the focus of inflammation. Now surgery is used only as a last resort, in case of pathological changes in the organ and significant difficulties in the process of urination. In addition, surgery cannot be avoided in case of violation of the kidneys.
Indications for drug treatment
Drugs to eliminate the symptoms of adenoma and prostatitis are selected in cases where:
- hyperplasia develops again after a planned operation;
- the age of the patient does not allow surgical intervention;
- a man voluntarily writes a refusal of the operation.
Along with this, there are cases when drug treatment is categorically contraindicated, since it cannot provide timely assistance in an emergency.
Drugs for treatment
With an increase in the symptoms of prostate adenoma and prostatitis, a number of drugs are prescribed to relieve a man's condition. More effective in cases with a moderate degree of the disease. All drugs for prostate treatment can be combined into two main groups:
- alpha-blockers, which have a relaxing effect on the muscles of the prostate;
- inhibitors reduce the volume of the prostate and slow down or completely stop its further increase.
Also in modern medicine, combination therapy is relevant, which is used in case of a significant increase in prostate volumes. The drug combination avoids surgery. The only drawback of this treatment is the manifestation of side effects from two types of drugs at once. Drugs for prostate treatment can lower blood pressure, so these drugs are not suitable for hypotensive patients.
Tamusolosin drugs are effective drugs for the treatment of prostatitis and prostate adenoma. They provide quick relief, relieve the first symptoms and help to deal with the main cause of the disease. In addition, these drugs have a minimum number of side effects.
Avoidance of surgery is achieved when taking drugs based on 5 alpha reductase inhibitors.
Antibiotic therapy
Antibiotics for adenoma are used only if an acute bacterial infection is attached to it. Antibiotics also help get rid of fever, chills and fever. The general condition is improving. Inflammation of the prostate perfectly relieves fluoroquinolones.
After antibiotics, a course of antifungal agents is often prescribed. This is due to the fact that antibacterial drugs violate the microflora of the body, causing the reproduction of fungi.
Essential oils
Often, patients try to recover from prostatitis and adenoma on their own, without resorting to medicinal and surgical methods. Of course, there are folk remedies that can help in this situation. It is worth considering the most effective and commonly used of them. Essential oils and, in particular, fir oil help relieve the inflammatory process and eliminate the main symptoms of the disease.
To prepare a folk remedy, sea buckthorn and fir oil are mixed in equal proportions and moistened with a gauze pad. It is very important not to overdo it with oil. In total, there should be no more than 10 drops per session. The tampon is inserted into the anus and is only removed at the next act of defecation. Also in pharmacies you can order the manufacture of fir oil candles. The duration of treatment is about 25-30 days.
Fir oil is able to kill bacteria, warm the area of an enlarged organ and act as an excellent painkiller.
Candles based on cocoa butter are widely used, where fir oil is added in a volume of 10 drops. The drug is also injected into the rectum at night. It relieves pain, inflammation and reduces prostate size. Sexual functions are restored, the general condition of the body improves. This method has been tested many times, so it is considered scientifically proven.
In folk medicine, prostate massage is used with the addition of fir oil. Of course, this procedure is performed only by a qualified doctor. A side effect in the form of a burning sensation is possible. In this case, it is better to refuse such treatment and look for an alternative.
In the fight against prostate adenoma and prostatitis there are many ways, the main thing is to decide to undergo an examination and start treatment. There is nothing to worry about here, because it is better to use medicines and folk remedies than to recover after an operation.
