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 an active sexual life. After all, one of the causes of prostatitis are sexually transmitted diseases, infections of the genitourinary system. Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland. This disease requires immediate treatment. This is because inflammation is diagnosed, as a rule, already in an acute form. In addition, prostatitis entails a lot of complications and unpleasant consequences. Therefore, it is so important to choose the most effective medicine 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 also become inflamed. In the absence of timely treatment, complications may occur, up to prostate cancer, adenoma, impotence, infertility, narrowing of the urethra. With such complications, it is almost impossible to restore the full functioning of the prostate gland.
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 need to avoid promiscuity. 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 may be the following factors:
- Stagnation in the pelvic organs;
- capillary blood stasis;
- Low immunity;
- Nervous strain;
- 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 is worth noting that timely treatment guarantees a complete recovery of the patient. If prostatitis is detected already in the stage of active development, there is a risk of the disease becoming chronic. Therefore, every man should know the first manifestations of prostate inflammation. So, it is worth noting the frequent urge to the toilet. If a young man goes to the toilet more than twice at night, you can suspect the onset of prostatitis. In this case, urination is painful, intermittent. And the bladder does not empty completely.
The inflammatory process of the prostate is always accompanied by pain. Pain extends to the perineum, testicles, anus, rectum, back, legs, lower back, lower abdomen. Sometimes pain occurs during bowel movements. Rarely, patients complain of chills and fever. But this 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 canal, insufficient production of sperm by the testicles occurs. Also, over time, the potency decreases, an insufficient erection develops. A sign of prostatitis may be premature ejaculation, or its complete absence, the complete absence of orgasm.
What are the treatments for prostatitis?
The choice of the method of treatment of prostatitis implies the correct choice of medication. 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 results obtained, the doctor can prescribe the most effective drugs for prostatitis. In any form of the disease, tablets differ in speed of action. They are assigned anyway. Such drugs can be natural, antibiotics, painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs. Such drugs have a wide spectrum of their 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 penetrates the body very quickly, which quickly stimulates the work of the vascular and immune systems.
- Instillation. The medicine is injected directly into the prostate through the urethra.
- Microclysters. Various medicines 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 such medicines 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 stagnation in the prostate, improve blood circulation in the prostate gland.
Antibiotics for prostatitis
These drugs are always prescribed in case of bacterial prostatitis. First, the type of bacteria that provoked 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 medication 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 used less and less for the treatment of the prostate gland. This is because such drugs are very difficult to tolerate by the body, and can provoke diseases of other systems and organs. Penicillin group preparations are widely used. They have a good antibacterial effect.
Painkillers for prostatitis
Painkillers are prescribed for any form of prostatitis. They will help in the shortest possible time to stop the pain syndrome, to alleviate the patient's condition. In the case of chronic prostatitis, such drugs are required. 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, direct effect on the prostate. When injected into the rectum, the suppository instantly dissolves, the active substance is quickly absorbed into the general bloodstream. So, 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 prone position, and not get up for at least half an hour after the introduction. During this period of time, the drug will completely dissolve, and begin to exert its analgesic effect.
Anesthetic suppositories are very popular and highly effective in the treatment of prostatitis.
As for pain pills, they are not so popular among specialists. But, but men prefer them. They do not differ in speed. In order for such a medicine to begin its action, it is necessary to complete the full course of treatment. A decrease in pain occurs only 30-40 minutes after application. Under the influence of such drugs, smooth muscle relaxation is observed, which eliminates spasm 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. Treatment of the prostate with herbal medicines lasts a little longer than with synthetic drugs. After all, it is required that the substance accumulate in the body. But, a positive result is guaranteed.
Herbal substances are used in the treatment of both acute and chronic prostatitis. Since the symptoms of chronic prostatitis occur intermittently, the frequent use of antibiotics can have a detrimental effect on the entire body. Therefore, natural remedies for chronic prostatitis are the best option.
Other medicines for the treatment of the prostate
In the complex treatment of the prostate, other medications are also used. If the prostatitis is viral in nature, the doctor prescribes antiviral medications. Often, these medications complement complex treatment. Antiviral drugs adversely affect any 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 gland. Also, under the influence of the drug, the body itself begins to regulate metabolic processes in the tissues and cells of the prostate. So, the rapid elimination of inflammation, pain relief is not observed.
Antiandrogenic drugs help to eliminate the inflammatory process in the case of bacterial prostatitis. You can reduce pressure in the urethra, eliminate spasm of the prostate and bladder with the use of alpha-blockers. Such 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 about potency disorders.
As you can see, there are many drugs for the treatment of the prostate. 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 comprehensive examination of the patient. And complex therapy will permanently get rid of the signs of prostatitis.
