Medicines and drugs for the treatment of chronic prostatitis

Despite the fact that the problem of inflammation of the prostate gland is recognized as the most serious for the male population, drugs and medicines for the treatment of chronic prostatitis make it possible to get rid of this problem quickly. Need to understand the type of medicine in more detail.

Types of drugs for chronic prostatitis

The pharmacy offers the following range of medicines:

1. Oral agents.This includes tablets and capsules. They differ from each other only because the latter has a gelatin shell, inside which the drug is contained in powder form, and tablets are characterized by a dense consistency. Both drugs are taken before, during or after meals. Some medicines need to be taken with water.
2. Injection or solution for injection.Medicines used for chronic prostatitis are given intramuscularly and intravenously. This guarantees immediate action of the product.
3. Candles.They are taken in a course of treatment from 5 to 10 days, and also have a large number of positive effects. These include analgesic, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. Suppositories are given only when the patient lies on his side, in this position, you need to lie down for another 30 minutes after inserting the suppository. At this time, all ingredients have time to be absorbed and assimilated.
4. Instillation.This method of treatment is rarely used, and, as a rule, only if the patient is in the hospital. Medicines are injected directly into the urethra using a catheter, and therefore this procedure is only performed by experienced medical personnel.
5. Microclyster.Doctors consider the presented medicine not a complete remedy for treatment, but a preventive method. Microclysters contain herbal decoctions that have anti-inflammatory effects.

These drugs for chronic prostatitis are considered the main drugs among drugs.

In addition, there are other classifications of drugs:

1. Etiotropic.This category of drugs fights infection, which is considered the main cause of the disease.
2. Pathogenetics.Reduces congestion in the glands and suppresses inflammation.
3. symptomatic.They are used exclusively to combat discomfort during pain.

Relax the muscles

Designed to relieve increased muscle tone. It is impossible to completely cure prostatitis with their help, they are used exclusively as additional drugs.

In therapy, drugs are prescribed to improve blood microcirculation in the prostate gland.

Alpha blockers

Alpha blockers are used if a man experiences discomfort while urinating. This problem is common in situations where a young man suffers from prostatitis; he often felt the urge to urinate, but could not relieve himself. Only in this case the alpha blocker is set.

These drugs have a large number of good reviews and are often recommended for use by doctors.

It is believed that for lasting results it is necessary to use these drugs for at least 6-12 months. Discontinuing therapy immediately after symptoms subside increases the risk of exacerbation.

Antibiotics

Antibiotics aim to eliminate the cause of prostatitis, but their choice must be approached responsibly. Not all antibiotics can quickly and completely eliminate the cause of the disease.

There are the following groups of antibiotics:

1. Cephalosporins.It is used for parenteral action and has various applications.
2. Macrolides.They are different because they are non-toxic and do not affect the intestinal microflora. Penetrates well into prostate tissue. It is a reserve antibiotic, and therefore is used exclusively if other groups of drugs are ineffective.
3. Penicillin.They are distinguished by relatively low cost, simple form of administration and high efficiency. As a rule, it is used for intolerance to fluoroquinolones or in the presence of chronic multi-organ disease.
4. Fluoroquinolones.They have proven their effectiveness and are well absorbed into the prostate tissue.
5. Tetracycline.They have negative properties, including a negative effect on the digestive tract.

Anti-inflammatory drugs

Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate that will progress if left untreated. If you relieve inflammation, it can help get rid of unpleasant symptoms of the disease.

It is important to remember that the use of each drug and its dosage must be adjusted by the doctor based on the condition and symptoms of the patient.

Steroids

Steroid drugs are used only if non-steroid treatment does not help.

It is important to note that steroid drugs significantly suppress the immune system and therefore should not be prescribed if the patient has HIV or other immune deficiencies.

Not steroids

Non-steroidal drugs have few side effects and are very effective.

It is important to understand that they are recommended to be taken exclusively during the acute period of the disease, within 5 to 7 days, no more.

Caution must be exercised if the patient has severe gastrointestinal disease.

Local medicine

Topical drugs are a category of drugs often used for prostate dysfunction. In the acute form of prostatitis, ointments and suppositories are most often used, and in the chronic form of the disease, the following substances are prescribed:

1. Drugs based on prostate extract increase urine excretion and also have a positive effect on metabolic processes in the body.
2. Morpholinium-methyl-triazolyl-thioacetate. Improves the regeneration process in the prostate gland.
3. Propolis. Strengthens the immune system, reduces inflammation. It is a natural beekeeping product.
4. Ammonium bitumen sulfonate. Has local anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.
5. Propolis-based candles, however, also have other additives: beeswax, honey and royal jelly.
6. Sea buckthorn oil. You need to be careful with it, because in some cases the product can cause an unpleasant reaction in the form of a burning sensation in the rectum. Has an increased anti-inflammatory effect.
7. In the ointment category, there are camphor-based products, which are prescribed for the outflow of urine and secretions. It is administered rectally using an applicator.
8. We must not forget suppositories, which are prescribed not only for chronic diseases, but also after surgery.

Principles of proper drug treatment

First of all, it is better to entrust your own health to a doctor who will help you plan your treatment. This does not necessarily mean that therapy will be expensive; on the other hand, cheap drugs that are chosen correctly will be no less effective than expensive ones.

The correct treatment principles are as follows:

1. First, an examination is carried out, where it is necessary to find out the type of microflora that causes prostatitis.
2. Studies are being conducted on sensitivity to certain drug groups. Correctly selected medicine is half the success of the treatment.
3. For further treatment, not only the most effective, but also the safest drug is chosen.
4. Based on the tests, as well as the characteristics of the patient's body, the treatment method and dosage are selected. It is absolutely not recommended to prescribe medications yourself, especially when it comes to suppositories.
5. Once the course is set, it must start on the same day. This course is chosen according to the patient's well-being and must be strictly followed. Deviations from the medication regimen are prohibited because they can slow down progress or even cause the process to reverse.
6. During treatment, you should also not forget that you should conduct timely examinations and tests. This is only necessary so that you can observe the dynamics of the disease and adjust the intake of medication.

We must not forget that the fastest results can only be achieved if complex treatment is used. This course must also include a special massage or bath.

It is important to note that doing the massage yourself, using video tutorials or written manuals, is categorically not recommended, because in most cases this only worsens the patient's condition. Massage must be done by a specialist.

The regimen and duration of treatment will depend solely on the body of the individual patient, however, in any case, it is recommended to start treatment as soon as possible, before the disease begins to develop actively.

During the treatment process, we must also not forget that in addition to complex treatment, we must also remember about non-drug therapy methods. This includes proper nutrition and exercise. There are also physiotherapeutic procedures and prostate massage, without which the treatment cannot be considered complete.

The following recommendations must also be followed:

1. Be careful with hypothermia, especially the legs, lower back, scrotum and penis.
2. Avoid high temperatures, as they can accelerate the spread of infection and bacteria throughout the body.
3. Quit alcohol and smoking.
4. Maintain a proper diet. Nutrition should be balanced and healthy.

Contraindications to drug therapy

There are several contraindications to drug therapy that must be taken into account when choosing treatment and that must be reported to the doctor.

1. Antibiotic intolerance.Each organism has its own characteristics, and therefore if someone from the environment calmly tolerates a certain antibiotic, this does not mean that your body will react in the same way.
2. Concomitant diseases.These include liver and kidney disease, as well as diabetes. With such a disease, you need to be careful when choosing the right medicine.
3. Allergic reaction.During the test, it is necessary to check whether the drug causes an allergic reaction. If it does, it can only worsen the patient's condition. It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that an allergic reaction can occur not only to one drug, but also to several classes of substances.
4. It is also important to change medications during several courses of treatment.If the drug helped the previous time, this time it must be replaced with another, otherwise the treatment may not be effective enough.

Physiotherapy also has certain contraindications that must be observed:

• epilepsy;
• high body temperature, over 38, if accompanied by fever;
• kidney failure;
• heart disease;
• disturbances in the functioning of the respiratory system;
• the presence of malignant tumors - this can lead to accelerated growth of cancer cells, and then to a deterioration in the patient's well-being;
• anemia or tendency to bleed.

Physiotherapy can be performed only if the disease is in a chronic stage and in the absence of purulent discharge.

With this form of prostatitis, it should not occur separately, but simultaneously with modern drug treatment.
