Prostate problems in men begin at the age of 40.Active inflammation in the prostate gland is caused by infectious viruses and bacteria, decreased immunity, diseases of the reproductive system, hormonal imbalance and sexually transmitted diseases.The process of treating inflammation in the prostate does not cause any particular problems, because modern medicine offers a huge number of drugs and special drugs that will quickly and painlessly help to cope with prostatitis.Very often, in case of prostate problems, men are prescribed antibiotic treatment.Only a professional urologist can select the right remedy and prescribe treatment.
Which antibiotics to choose for prostatitis
Prostatitis as a pathology is divided into two types: non-bacterial and bacterial (infectious).Antimicrobial drugs are not used for nonbacterial prostatitis.This type of remedy is used for chronic and acute types of prostatitis.
In order for a man to understand what kind of antibiotics to take and whether it is necessary to take antibiotics for prostatitis, he must first find the causes of the disease (pathogens).To do this, you should undergo a step-by-step examination, which includes a urine test to identify pathogens (E. coli, chlamydia, mycoplasma, staphylococcus and others).
It should be noted that you should not choose antibiotics for prostatitis on your own.You should know that when choosing antibiotics for treatment, it is necessary to take into account the individual sensitivity of bacteria to the drug.
The choice of antibiotics, dosage and duration of treatment (course) depend on the type of pathology (acute or chronic).In most cases, doctors prescribe broad-spectrum antibiotics to men, in combination with: vitamin therapy, means to normalize blood circulation and immunostimulating agents, antidepressants, massage, etc.(it all depends on the type of pathogen, as well as its sensitivity to drugs (antibiotics)).
Groups of antibiotics in the treatment of prostatitis
Medicines used for prostatitis are available in the form of suppositories, tablets, injections or microenemas.Most often, men are prescribed antibiotic tablets (broad-spectrum) if the causes (pathogens) of the disease have not yet been determined.
Antibiotics for prostatitis are divided into three types:
- Penicillins;
- Fluoroquinolones;
- Tetracyclines.
Often during the treatment of prostatitis, suppositories for rectal use are prescribed.Suppositories help relieve pain symptoms, have an anti-inflammatory effect and antibacterial effect.Suppositories, like injectable drugs, act on the body immediately, so treating prostatitis with suppositories is an effective technique.
Faster-acting injectable antibiotics (solutions).Injectable solutions increase the defenses of the immune system and the entire vascular system of the body.In some cases, doctors resort to the instillation method.The instillation method is a process in which a solution (antibiotics) is injected directly into the urethral canal.The procedure is performed with an empty bladder.
In addition, there is a method of microenemas based on medicinal herbs (infusions, decoctions).This procedure is used in combination with drug treatment.The microenema procedure is performed before going to sleep.
Treatment of prostatitis with antibiotics
The treatment process of prostatitis should be comprehensive and include several groups of drugs:
- painkillers;
- hormonal drugs;
- antibiotics;
- alpha-blockers;
- anti-inflammatory and antiviral drugs.
Get rid of bacterial prostatitis
Bacterial prostatitis is treated only with antibiotic drugs.Antibiotics in tablets are taken for chronic and acute prostatitis, treatment lasts about 30 days.If prostatitis becomes more severe or complications appear, treatment will continue by injecting antibiotics into the urethral canal.
Additionally, in combination with antibiotic treatment, painkillers may be prescribed.But you should be careful when taking them together, because excessive dosage of the drug (painkiller) can provoke the development of negative side effects.
Chronic prostatitis
For chronic (non-bacterial) prostatitis, alpha-blockers are prescribed.Antibiotics of this type relax the neck and bladder muscles, reduce pain (during urination).It is worth noting that drugs from this group have side effects, including headache and hypotension.
For chronic prostatitis (various forms), hormone-containing drugs are prescribed.The fact is that an excess of the male hormone testosterone in a man's blood activates the process of proliferation of the prostate gland.During treatment, hormone levels stabilize and return to normal and, at the same time, inflammatory processes disappear.In addition to additional therapeutic measures, herbal remedies are used to relieve swelling and inflammation.
Viral prostatitis
For viral prostatitis, drugs with an antiviral spectrum of action are prescribed.
The course of treatment is supplemented with nonsteroidal antiviral drugs.This group eliminates pain, swelling and anti-inflammatory processes.In addition to the listed drugs, drugs are used to improve blood flow to the prostate gland.
To strengthen the immune system when taking antibiotic drugs for prostatitis, immunomodulators are used.
Antibiotic treatment regimen for prostatitis
When treating prostatitis with antibiotics, the course of treatment can vary from 6 to 12 weeks.Drugs from different groups can be taken alternately or in combination.
In more severe cases, prostatitis can cause side effects: fever, headache, prostate pain.In these cases, the doctor prescribes antibiotics by injection (intravenously).The duration of this course is 4 weeks - 6, 7 weeks.
The doctor may prescribe several drugs at the same time.
After a course of antibiotic treatment, the man's condition should improve;in cases where the condition does not improve, there is a possibility that the disease is caused by bacteria (infections).
Self-completion of treatment is absolutely prohibited!Even if the man's conditions have improved.Prostatitis is a very insidious disease that leads to relapses.
Effective remedies for the treatment of prostatitis
Only a professional urologist can select an effective and correct drug and prescribe treatment.
To avoid complications and further development of the disease, follow the exact antibiotic regimen prescribed by your doctor.Do not self-medicate, do not use drugs from little-known pharmaceutical companies.Drugs from the “antibiotics” group have side effects that can harm the health of all men, including sexual activity and normal general well-being.
