Prostatitis problems should not be left unattended and without proper treatment. The body cannot fight such a disease alone. The complex of measures that promote inflammation of the prostate gland includes the treatment of prostatitis with tablets.
Tablets can have general or targeted effects. It is not worth choosing yourself from a wide range of pharmacies. In addition to achieving the desired result, you are more likely to get side effects.
It is better to find a doctor who knows the health of the prostate and follow his instructions. This will save your home budget and give faster results. After all, the main feature that distinguishes the treatment of prostatitis with antibiotics and pills is a fully responsible and rational approach to the issue.
Take pills for prostatitis
After examining the results of laboratory tests and direct examination of the prostate (and possibly the entire genitourinary system), the doctor prescribes appropriate therapy.
An integrated approach is more commonly used. Among the drugs, depending on the stage of development of the disease, they can be prescribed:
- Painkillers;
- Spasmolytics;
- Anti-inflammatory;
- Antibiotics;
- Antiviral drugs.
- Alpha blockers.
Often, a specialist must combine known medications to get a result as soon as possible. Dosage is selected individually. It is influenced not only by the results of clinical examination, but also by age, lifestyle, ability to receive inpatient treatment or not.
It should be noted that you should not forget to use alcohol during treatment. And it's not just for antibiotics. Any drug, when combined with a course of treatment with mixtures, loses its effectiveness and can cause side effects due to the high load on the liver.
Interruption of the therapeutic course should not be allowed. The more accurately the instructions of the attending physician are followed, the more effective the therapy will be. If the patient does not have enough money for treatment at first, the choice of medication should be discussed immediately with a urologist.
In the modern pharmacological market, there are a large number of generics (cheaper analogues of patented drugs), the effectiveness of which does not differ from the advertised tablets.
Popular pills for prostatitis
- fluoroquinolone based;
- containing penicillin;
- with macrolides;
- with tetracyclines.
Treatment of prostatitis with pills
When treating a patient with obvious pain symptoms, the doctor will first prescribe analgesics that can soothe the pain. As a rule, these are painkillers. Many of them help not only to relieve pain, but also to eliminate inflammation. Often this appointment is typical for acute prostatitis.
If acute prostatitis is treated and is the result of an untreated chronic form, anti-inflammatory drugs are able to completely eliminate the disease in the early stages.
Most likely, they will be prescribed in combination with antibiotics or antiviral drugs. However, the key to successful treatment of prostatitis is to suppress the development of the inflammatory process.
Inflammation of the prostate gland is often accompanied by a painful narrowing of the muscle tissue that makes up the prostate. In this case, antispasmodic tablets are prescribed. Improves blood circulation and helps to relax muscles, which reduces pain.
Note!Medications that reduce the tension in the urethra and bladder are needed for urinary problems. Muscle relaxants have a good effect. They prevent painful contractions of the muscles and make it much easier to go to the toilet.
Pill treatment for chronic prostatitis may also require the use of alpha-blockers. These drugs involve long-term use and are prescribed with difficulty urinating and urinary retention. Such therapy helps to control the process of prostate enlargement and significantly reduces the intensity of painful symptoms.
The bacterial form of prostatitis involves the mandatory treatment of prostatitis with tablets that can have a targeted effect in the fight against pathogenic microorganisms.
Antibiotics can be administered intramuscularly in the form of inpatient treatment. However, it is prescribed in tablet form for more internal use. This is convenient for those who can not take a long sick leave.
The result
Antibiotics are an integral part of the treatment of acute prostatitis. Chronic inflammation of the prostate gland caused by a bacterial infection also involves a course of antibiotic therapy.
