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 surgery; the drugs proved to be quite effective. Of course, this greatly lengthens the recovery process, but patients don't 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 pharmacological methods can slow down or completely stop the process of hyperplasia of the tissues of the organs.
Drug treatment of prostate adenoma is not mandatory, therefore every 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 symptoms already manifested;
- decreased quality of vital signs;
- an increased 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 body in general and harmful 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 in case of violation of the kidneys.
Indications for drug treatment
Drugs to eliminate the symptoms of adenoma and prostatitis are selected in cases when:
- hyperplasia develops again after a planned operation;
- the patient's age does not allow for surgery;
- a man voluntarily writes a rejection from the operation.
Along with this, there are cases when drug treatment is categorically contraindicated, as it cannot provide quick assistance in an emergency.
Medicines for treatment
With an increase in symptoms of prostate adenoma and prostatitis, a number of drugs are prescribed that can alleviate a man's condition. Most effective in cases with a moderate degree of the disease. All drugs for the treatment of the 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.
In modern medicine, combined therapy is also relevant, which is used in cases of a significant increase in the volume of the prostate. The combination of drugs avoids surgery. The only drawback of this treatment is the manifestation of side effects of two types of the drug at the same time. Drugs for the treatment of the prostate gland can lower blood pressure, so such drugs are not suitable for hypotensive patients.
Tausolosin drugs are effective drugs for the treatment of prostatitis and prostate adenoma. They bring quick relief, relieve early symptoms and help cope with the root cause of the disease. Furthermore, these drugs exhibit a minimal number of side effects.
Avoiding surgical intervention is achieved in the case of taking drugs based on 5 alpha reductase inhibitors.
Antibiotic therapy
Antibiotics for adenoma are used only if an acute bacterial infection is attached. Antibiotics also help get rid of fever, chills and fever. General conditions are improving. Inflammation of the prostate perfectly relieves 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 commonly used. Essential oils and, in particular, fir oil help relieve the inflammatory process and remove 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 pad. It is very important not to overdo the oil. In total, there should be no more than 10 drops per session. The tampon is inserted into the anus and is not removed until the next act of defecation. Also in pharmacies it is possible to order the manufacture of candles with fir oil. The duration of the treatment is about 25-30 days.
Fir oil is able to kill bacteria, heat the area of an enlarged organ, and act as a great pain reliever.
Cocoa butter candles are widely used, to which fir oil is added in a volume of 10 drops. The drug is also injected into the rectum at night. 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, so it is considered scientifically proven.
In traditional medicine, prostate massage is used with the addition of fir oil. Of course, this procedure is only done 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 drugs and folk remedies than to go through recovery after surgery.
