Prostatitis is a common disease among men. At risk are young people between 20 and 50 years old. The risk of developing prostatitis increases from the moment you start an active sex life. After all, one of the causes of prostatitis is sexually transmitted diseases, infections of the genitourinary system. Prostatitis is 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 carries a lot of complications and unpleasant consequences. Therefore, it is so 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 also become inflamed. In the absence of timely treatment, complications can 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.
Most often, bacterial prostatitis develops. It is caused by many bacteria that can be sexually transmitted. Therefore, in order to maintain male health, it is necessary 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 can be the following factors:
- Stagnation in the pelvic organs;
- capillary blood stasis;
- Low immunity;
- Nervous tension;
- Congenital anomalies in the development of the pelvic organs;
- Sedentary lifestyle, sedentary work;
- Lack of moderate physical activity
- Regular heavy lifting
- Hormonal disturbances;
- Injuries of the pelvic organs.
It is worth noting that timely treatment guarantees a complete recovery of the patient. If prostatitis is detected already at the stage of active development, there is a risk that the disease will become chronic. Therefore, every man should know the first manifestations of inflammation of the prostate. Hence, it is worth noting the frequent need to go 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 doesn't empty completely.
The inflammatory process of the prostate is always accompanied by pain. The pain extends to the perineum, testicles, anus, rectum, back, legs, lower back, lower abdomen. Sometimes the pain occurs during bowel movements. Rarely, patients complain of chills and fever. But it can also be this. 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 sperm production by the testicles occurs. In addition, over time, potency decreases, insufficient erection develops. A sign of prostatitis can be premature ejaculation, or its complete absence, the complete absence of orgasm.
What are the treatments for prostatitis?
The choice of treatment for prostatitis also implies the correct choice of drug. 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, the tablets differ in the speed of action. They are still assigned. Such drugs can be natural, antibiotics, pain relievers, 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, quickly stimulating the work of the vascular and immune systems.
- Instillation. The medicine is injected directly into the prostate through the urethra.
- Microenemas. 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 drugs, urologists recommend taking a course of physiotherapy, prostate massage. Such manipulations will quickly free the male body from 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 caused the disease is determined. Be sure to do a bacterial culture to identify resistance of the organism to the antibiotic. 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 used less and less for the treatment of the prostate gland. This is because such drugs are very difficult for the body to tolerate and can cause diseases of other systems and organs. Preparations of the penicillin group are widely used. They have a good antibacterial effect.
Pain relievers for prostatitis
Pain relievers are prescribed for any form of prostatitis. They will help in the shortest possible time to stop the pain syndrome, alleviate the patient's condition. In case of chronic prostatitis, such drugs are needed. With repeated relapses, painkillers quickly relieve discomfort in the scrotum, perineum and testicles. Urination becomes painless.
To eliminate the pain syndrome, rectal suppositories are most often prescribed. This is explained by the fact that candles have a quick and direct effect on the prostate. When injected into the rectum, the suppository instantly dissolves, the active ingredient is rapidly absorbed into the general bloodstream. Thus, 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 assume a prone position and not get up for at least half an hour after the introduction. During this 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 relievers, they are not that 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 entire 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 necessary for the substance to 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, frequent use of antibiotics can have a detrimental effect on the whole 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 drugs are also used. If the prostatitis is viral in nature, the doctor prescribes antiviral drugs. Often, these drugs complement a complex treatment. Antiviral drugs negatively affect any virus, have an immunomodulatory effect.
A new drug for the treatment of inflammation of the prostate 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. Thus, rapid elimination of inflammation, pain relief is not observed.
Antiandrogen drugs help to eliminate the inflammatory process in case of bacterial prostatitis. It is possible to reduce the 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 of potency disorders.
As you can see, there are many drugs for prostate treatment. It is very important to recognize the problem in advance. 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 eliminate the signs of prostatitis.
