The most effective drugs are those selected in consideration of the test results and the characteristics of the male disease process.
Criteria for choosing effective drugs
According to the type of inflammatory process, infectious and non-infectious prostatitis can be distinguished. In order to choose a drug, a comprehensive examination must be performed for an accurate diagnosis, including ultrasound and prostate TRUS, prostate secretion analysis, and rectal organ palpation.
The main treatment for infectious prostatitis is antibiotic treatment. Non-infectious prostatitis is treated with anti-inflammatory drugs; antibiotics are not used in this case.
The adjuvant depends on the form of inflammation and the severity of symptoms. In acute urinary system diseases, alpha-receptor blockers should be prescribed in a short period of time, accompanied by severe pain syndromes-antispasmodics or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In addition, there are many drugs that can restore the function of the affected organs, and these drugs require long-term use.
In each drug group, urologists often prescribe many effective drugs. At the same time, certain medicines can be replaced with cheap analogs, such as herbal medicine in the form of rectal suppositories.
The following types of prostatitis drugs are distinguished by release form:
- injection;
- film;
- Suppositories.
Drip and micro enema are also used. The former is performed in a hospital, and the latter is a traditional treatment method. Doctors tend to prescribe drugs due to effectiveness and speed of action, but this method is not always suitable for home treatment: not everyone can inject themselves. To relieve inflammation, men prefer rectal suppositories-easy to use on their own, they are slightly inferior to injections in terms of efficacy.
Medicines in the form of tablets are divided into:
- antibiotics;
- Antispasmodic;
- alpha-blockers;
- Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Only doctors should choose and combine medicines.
Antibiotics
Antibacterial drugs for the treatment of prostatitis are prescribed only after bacterial or infectious inflammation and strict analysis of prostate secretions. This analysis is necessary to determine the type of pathogen and the susceptibility of pathogenic microorganisms to the action of antibacterial drugs.
When treating infectious prostatitis, use the following groups of drugs:
- Cephalosporins;
- Macrolides;
- Penicillin;
- Fluoroquinolone;
- Tetracycline.
Preparations of macrolide drugs can cause many side effects, and the course of treatment lasts 7 to 14 days.
Penicillin and tetracycline are rarely prescribed. This is due to the low bioavailability of the drug and the high risk of pathogen resistance to its action.
They are available in tablet form and injection solution form.
Antibacterial drugs are not used for non-infectious prostatitis.
The doctor selects the dosage and the exact treatment plan based on the analysis results. These drugs are not used for prostatitis caused by fungal flora, but antifungal drugs are used.
Antispasmodic drugs
These drugs can reduce muscle spasms in the prostate, so that the patient feels better. They are used for acute and chronic diseases.
Chronic prostatitis drugs
The basis for the treatment of chronic prostatitis is made by biologically active drugs, which can normalize the nutrition of the prostate and reduce inflammation. Their composition is based on biologically active peptides obtained by extracting bovine prostates.
Instructions for use:
- Chronic prostatitis;
- Prostate adenoma;
- Infertility.
The treatment process can take up to 15 days. Suppositories are used twice a day and injected once a day in the morning and evening.
These drugs work as follows:
- Standardization of urodynamics;
- Reduce inflammation;
- Reduce edema;
- Eliminate pain syndrome;
- Increased effectiveness.
The drug normalizes the nutrition of the prostate by stimulating the metabolic process of the organ. In chronic prostatitis, this group of patients is prescribed twice a year for treatment and prevention. For acute inflammation, your doctor may prescribe medication after the course of antibiotics is over to restore normal prostate function.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
NSAIDs can reduce inflammation and relieve the pain of prostatitis. They are used as a symptomatic treatment for infectious and non-infectious inflammations.
Bacterial prostatitis usually causes an increase in body temperature. At a value above 38. 5 degrees, it can be knocked down with sulfonamide drugs.
Alpha Interceptor
The second-line treatment for prostatitis and adenoma is a set of alpha blockers. Their effect is based on blocking adrenergic receptors located on the bladder neck. This group of drugs can reduce the tension of the bladder and relax the smooth muscle of the prostate. This reduces the swelling of the organs and makes it easier to urinate. The indications for the use of these drugs are obvious diseases, with the risk of developing acute stagnation of urine.
There are many contraindications and side effects in this group of alpha-blocker preparations. First, their danger lies in their negative effects on the cardiovascular system.
Possible side effects:
- Migraine;
- lethargy;
- Loss of strength;
- Fainted;
- Low blood pressure.
There are known cases of retrograde ejaculation development when taking these drugs.
Alpha blockers come in capsule or tablet form. Usually, the doctor prescribes 1 tablet of this medicine a day for one to two weeks. Due to the many contraindications and side effects, the doctor should choose alpha-blocker drugs.
Alpha blockers are part of the comprehensive treatment of prostatitis, but they are not first-line drugs.
Herbal Medicine and Homeopathy
Homeopathy and herbal remedies are widely used to treat chronic prostatitis. Such drugs have been prescribed for a long period of time because their effects will appear in a few weeks.
has also prescribed drugs to prevent chronic prostatitis.
Except for individual intolerance, this group of drugs has no contraindications. Since herbal preparations have a slow onset, they should be taken for a long time. The results of treatment can be assessed at least two weeks after starting the medication.
suppositories
The cheapest medicine for chronic diseases is rectal suppositories containing natural extracts. In the treatment, use wax candles containing propolis and bee products, pumpkin oil or fish oil. The list of preparations based on beekeeping products has many names.
Such suppositories can relieve inflammation, have a bactericidal effect and improve immunity. Propolis suppositories can be made at home.
Naturally formulated rectal suppositories are used twice a day. The course of treatment lasts at least 10 days. After a thorough examination of the patient, the doctor will choose the exact treatment plan.
It is impossible to determine the best medicine of all varieties, because the medicine must be selected individually in each case.
