Prostatitis is a common disease among men. Young people aged 20-50 are at risk. The risk of developing prostatitis increases from the moment you start active sexual activity. After all, one of the causes of prostatitis is sexually transmitted diseases, infections of the genitourinary system. Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland. This disease requires urgent treatment. This is due to the fact that the inflammation, as a rule, is already diagnosed in an acute form. In addition, prostatitis causes many complications and unpleasant consequences. Therefore, it is very 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 gland. The ducts and urethra are also inflamed. If left untreated, complications can include prostate cancer, adenoma, impotence, infertility, and even narrowing of the urethra. With such complications, it is almost impossible to restore the full function of the prostate gland.
Very often, bacterial prostatitis develops. It is caused by many sexually transmitted bacteria. Therefore, to protect your male health, you must avoid immorality. Bacterial inflammation of the prostate gland can also occur against the background of hypothermia, other infectious and viral diseases.
Non-bacterial prostatitis is also often diagnosed. The causes of this inflammation can be the following factors:
- Stagnation in the pelvic organs;
- stagnation of capillary blood;
- Low immunity;
- nervous tension;
- Congenital anomalies in the development of the pelvic organs;
- Sedentary lifestyle, sedentary work;
- lack of moderate physical activity;
- Constant weight lifting
- Hormonal disorders;
- Pelvic organ damage.
It should be noted that timely treatment guarantees complete recovery of the patient. If prostatitis is already detected in the active stage of development, there is a risk that the disease will become chronic. Therefore, every man should know the first signs of inflammation of the prostate. Thus, it is worth paying attention to the frequent call to the toilet. If a young person goes to the toilet more than twice a night, you may suspect the onset of prostatitis. In this case, urination is painful, intermittent. And the bladder is not completely emptied.
The inflammatory process of the prostate is always accompanied by pain. The pain spreads to the perineum, testicles, anus, rectum, back, legs, lower back, lower abdomen. Sometimes pain occurs during bowel movements. Rarely, patients complain of tremors and fever. But it can also happen. In this regard, men develop increased fatigue and irritability.
Inflammation of the prostate has a detrimental effect on male potency. Occlusion of the ducts occurs due to the narrowing of the duct, insufficient sperm production of the testicles. Also, over time, the potential decreases, insufficient erection develops. Symptoms of prostatitis may be premature ejaculation or incomplete ejaculation, incomplete orgasm.
What is the treatment for prostatitis?
Choosing a treatment for prostatitis also involves choosing the right medication. Different drugs are selected depending on the severity of the disease, its stage and form. Thus, there are the following forms of prostatitis: 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 results obtained, the doctor can prescribe the most effective medication for prostatitis. In any form of the disease, the tablets differ in speed of movement. They are already appointed. Such drugs can be natural, antibiotics, painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs. Such drugs have a wide range of actions. This group of drugs can be divided into the following classes: fluoroquinolones, penicillins, tetracyclines.
Other treatments include:
- Candles. Rectal suppositories have analgesic and antibacterial effects.
- Injections. The drug penetrates the body very quickly, which quickly stimulates the vascular and immune systems.
- Dripping. The drug is injected directly into the prostate through the urethra.
- Microclusters. Various medicines are used in the form of herbal decoctions and infusions.
It is customary to conduct complex therapy for quick recovery. Thus, it is common to use such drugs for prostatitis at the same time: tablets, suppositories, injections. After recovery, men are advised to increase immunity. In addition to medication, urologists recommend a course of physiotherapy and prostate massage. Such manipulations will quickly get rid of stagnation in the prostate gland and improve blood circulation in the prostate gland.
Antibiotics for prostatitis
These drugs are always prescribed during bacterial prostatitis. First, the type of bacteria that cause the disease is determined. Be sure to perform a bacterial culture to determine the antibiotic resistance of the microorganism. After all, if the drug is not prescribed correctly, prostatitis will continue to develop. Today, fluoroquinolones are very popular and highly effective. These drugs are used to treat chronic prostatitis.
Tetracyclines are increasingly used to treat prostate cancer. Because such drugs are very difficult for the body to tolerate and can cause diseases of other systems and organs. Penicillin drugs are widely used. They have a good antibacterial effect.
Painkillers for prostatitis
Painkillers are prescribed for any form of prostatitis. They will help to stop the pain syndrome as soon as possible to alleviate the patient's condition. In the case of chronic prostatitis, such drugs are required. With recurrent relapses, painkillers quickly relieve discomfort in the scrotum, perineum, and testicles. Urine is painless.
Most rectal suppositories are prescribed to relieve pain syndrome. This is due to the fact that candles affect the prostate quickly and directly. When injected into the rectum, the suppository dissolves immediately, the active substance is quickly absorbed into the general bloodstream. Thus, the pain is significantly reduced 5-10 minutes after the injection. It is very important to administer the drug properly. The man should take a prone position and not stand for at least half an hour after the presentation. During this time, the drug will completely dissolve and begin to show analgesic effect.
Anesthetic suppositories are very popular and are highly effective in the treatment of prostatitis.
As for pain pills, they are not so popular among professionals. But men prefer them. They do not differ in speed. In order for such a drug to take effect, it is necessary to complete a full course of treatment. Pain reduction occurs only 30-40 minutes after application. Under the influence of such drugs, relaxation of smooth muscles is observed, which relieves spasms and pain.
herbal medicines for prostatitis
Modern methods of treating prostatitis in men include the use of herbal medicines. Such preparations contain only herbal substances. These drugs have no side effects. However, among the contraindications should be noted only individual intolerance to individual components of the drug. Treatment of the prostate with herbal medicines takes longer than synthetic drugs. After all, the substance is required to accumulate in the body. But a positive result is guaranteed.
Herbal substances are used in the treatment of both acute and chronic prostatitis. Because the symptoms of chronic prostatitis occur intermittently, frequent use of antibiotics can have a detrimental effect on the whole body. Therefore, natural remedies are the best choice for chronic prostatitis.
Other drugs for the treatment of prostate
Other drugs are also used in the complex treatment of the prostate. If the prostatitis is viral, the doctor will prescribe antiviral drugs. Often these drugs complement the complex treatment. Antiviral drugs have a negative effect on any virus, have an immunomodulatory effect.
A new drug for the treatment of prostatitis is a drug belonging to the group of bioregulatory peptides. The action of the drug is aimed at stimulating the independent regeneration of the prostate gland. Also, under the influence of the drug, the body itself begins to regulate metabolic processes in the tissues and cells of the prostate. Thus, there is no rapid elimination of inflammation and reduction of pain.
Anti-androgenic drugs help to eliminate the inflammatory process in the case of bacterial prostatitis. With the use of alpha-blockers you can reduce the pressure in the urethra, eliminate spasms of the prostate and bladder. Such drugs increase urine output and normalize blood flow to the pelvic organs. This is especially important if a man begins to complain of potential disorders as a result of prostatitis.
As you can see, there are many medications for prostate treatment. It is very important to recognize the problem early. Any drug to eliminate the inflammatory process in the prostate is prescribed by a doctor only after a thorough examination of the patient. And complex therapy will permanently get rid of the symptoms of prostatitis.
