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; medicines turned out to be quite effective. Of course, this significantly lengthens the recovery process, but patients do not have to go through a long recovery period after surgery. The functionality of the prostate gland 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 the later stages. This is explained by the fact that drug methods can slow down or completely stop the process of hyperplasia of organ tissues.
Drug treatment of prostate adenoma is not mandatory, so each patient has the right to refuse it by choosing an operation. Patients are often motivated by the fact that such 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 already manifesting symptoms;
- decrease in the quality of vital signs;
- an increase in the need for surgery;
- acute signs of urinary retention.
Modern studies have shown that drugs for the treatment of prostate adenoma and prostatitis have become more gentle for the general body and detrimental to the focus of inflammation. Now surgery is used only as a last resort, when there are pathological changes in the organ and significant difficulties in the process of urination. Also, surgery cannot be avoided if there is a 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 for surgical intervention;
- a man voluntarily writes a refusal from the operation.
Along with this, there are cases when drug treatment is categorically contraindicated, since it cannot provide quick assistance in an emergency.
Medicines for treatment
With an increase in the symptoms of prostate adenoma and prostatitis, a number of drugs are prescribed that can alleviate the condition of a man. Most effective in cases with a moderate degree of the disease. All drugs for the treatment of prostate 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, combined therapy is relevant, which is used in cases of a significant increase in the prostate in volumes. The combination of drugs avoids surgery. The only drawback of this treatment is the manifestation of side effects from two types of the drug at once. Medicines for the treatment of the prostate gland can lower blood pressure, so such drugs are not suitable for hypotensive patients.
Tamusolosin-based drugs are effective drugs for the treatment of prostatitis and prostate adenoma. They bring quick relief, relieve the first symptoms and help to cope with the main cause of the disease. Also, these drugs show a minimum number of side effects.
Avoiding surgery is obtained in the case of taking drugs based on inhibitors of 5 alpha reductase.
Antibiotic therapy
Antibiotics for adenoma are used only if an acute bacterial infection is attached to it. Antibiotics also help to get rid of fever, chills and fever. The general condition is getting better. Inflammation of the prostate perfectly relieve 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, provoking 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 frequently used of them. Essential oils and, in particular, fir oil helps to relieve the inflammatory process and removes 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 swab. It is very important not to overdo it with oil. In total, it should be no more than 10 drops per session. The tampon is inserted into the anus and not removed until the next act of defecation. Also in pharmacies you can order the manufacture of candles with fir oil. The duration of treatment is approximately 25-30 days.
Fir oil is able to kill bacteria, heat up the area of an enlarged organ and act as an excellent pain reliever.
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 the size of the prostate. Sexual functions are restored, the general condition of the body improves. This method has been repeatedly tested, therefore it is considered scientifically proven.
In traditional medicine, prostate massage is used with the addition of fir oil. Of course, this procedure is carried out 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 medication and folk remedies than to go through recovery after surgery.
