Prostatitis problems should not be left without attention and appropriate treatment. The body is not able to cope with such an ailment on its own. The complex of measures that help with inflammation of the prostate gland includes the treatment of prostatitis with tablets.
Tablets can have general or targeted effects. It is not worth choosing on your own from a wide range of pharmacies. There is a high probability of not only not achieving the desired result, but also getting side effects.
It is more correct to find a doctor who is knowledgeable in the issue of prostate health and follow his instructions. This will save your home budget and give you faster results. After all, the main feature that distinguishes the treatment of prostatitis with antibiotics and pills is precisely the responsible and rational approach to the issue.
Taking 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 often practiced. Among medications, depending on the stage of development of the disease, they can prescribe:
- Pain relievers;
- Antispasmodics;
- Anti-inflammatory;
- Antibiotics;
- Antiviral drugs.
- Alpha blockers.
Often a specialist has to combine known medicines to achieve a result in the shortest possible time. The dosage is selected individually. It is influenced not only by the results of clinical examination, but also by age characteristics, lifestyle, the ability to undergo inpatient treatment or its absence.
It should be borne in mind that during the treatment, you should forget about the use of alcoholic beverages. And this is true not only for antibiotics. Any medications, when combined with a course of treatment with libations, lose their effectiveness and can lead to 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 initially have a substantial amount of money for treatment, it is necessary to immediately discuss the choice of medications with the urologist.
The modern pharmacological market has a wide range of generics (cheaper analogues of patented drugs), which are no different in their effectiveness 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 pronounced pain symptoms, the doctor will first of all prescribe analgesics that can soothe the pain. As a rule, these are pain relievers. Many of them contribute not only to pain relief, but also relieve inflammation. Most often, this picture of appointments is typical for acute prostatitis.
If acute prostatitis is paramount, and not the result of an untreated chronic form, then anti-inflammatory drugs are quite capable of completely eliminating the disease in the early stages.
Most likely, they will be prescribed in combination with antibiotics or antiviral agents. However, it is the suppression of the development of the inflammatory process that is the basis for the successful treatment of prostatitis.
Often, inflammation of the prostate gland is accompanied by a painful contraction of the muscle tissue that makes up the prostate. In this case, antispasmodic tablets are prescribed. They improve blood circulation and help the muscles relax, which reduces pain.
Note!For problems with urination, medications are needed that reduce the tension of the urethra and bladder. Muscle relaxants have a good effect. They prevent muscles from contracting in a painful manner and greatly facilitate going to the toilet.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis with pills may also require the use of alpha-blockers. These drugs involve a long course of administration and are prescribed for difficulty urinating and urinary retention. Such therapy helps to control the process of enlarging the prostate gland and significantly reduces the intensity of the manifestation of painful symptoms.
The bacterial form of prostatitis implies the obligatory treatment of prostatitis with tablets that can have a targeted effect on the fight against pathogenic microorganisms.
Antibiotics can be administered intramuscularly as an inpatient treatment. But more often they are prescribed in the form of tablets for internal use. This is convenient for those who cannot afford a long sick leave.
Conclusion
Antibiotics are an integral part of the treatment for acute prostatitis. The chronic process of inflammation of the prostate gland due to bacterial infection also implies a course of antibiotic therapy.
