Timely starting treatment of the inflammatory process in the prostate is the main rule that will help men quickly get rid of the disease and prevent complications and relapses.There are so many different medications available today that it is very easy to get confused about them.All tablets for prostatitis are positioned as the most effective means of preventing or eliminating the disease, but upon closer examination, more than half of them are not very effective;they eliminate the symptoms, but do not eliminate the cause.Let's consider economical and effective options.
Types of medicinal assistants
Antibiotics, painkillers, Chinese or domestic pharmaceuticals, etc.?Which ones help best?In order for men to choose the right drugs, they must first consult a doctor.The specialist will analyze the degree of sensitivity of the body to a particular drug, determine the type and stage of the disease, and also study the individual characteristics of the body.Based on all this data, the doctor will prescribe a course of treatment and tell you which pills a particular patient should take against prostatitis.
The pharmacological course for relieving acute and chronic prostatitis in men involves the use of the following drugs (all tablets are for treatment, not for prevention!):
- Antibiotics.
- Antispasmodics.
- Anti-inflammatory drugs.
- Alpha adrenergic blockers.
- Medicines that improve blood circulation.
Let's look in more detail at all the pills for prostatitis: their purpose, characteristics, etc.
Antibiotics
It is necessary to take antibiotics for acute and chronic forms.The main tasks assigned to antibiotics are to destroy pathogenic flora, reduce intoxication and the inflammatory process, and, as a result, accelerate recovery.It is impossible to cure men with prostatitis without antibiotics, as this is the most effective remedy.
All antibiotic tablets are divided into the following groups:
- Fluoroquinolones.Tablets necessary for the treatment of chronic prostatitis.
- Aminopenicillins.Prescribing aminopenicillins is common for mild and uncomplicated stages (with acute processes and rare exacerbations of chronic prostatitis in men).
- Cephalosporins.Tablets with a wide range of applications (for the treatment of any form), but the drugs have a short-term antibacterial effect.
- Macrolides.Antibiotics with the least effectiveness against prostatitis in men, but also with minimal toxic effects.
- Tetracyclines.Well tolerated.They have the highest natural activity among all antibiotics against atypical microorganisms (chlamydia and mycoplasmas).
It is impossible to talk about which of the listed means is better than others, since men have an individual susceptibility to drugs.
Anti-inflammatory
To relieve inflammation, doctors recommend taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which can eliminate unpleasant signs of pathology and reduce swelling of the prostate in men, thereby reducing pain.Painkillers are necessary during therapy as they allow you to relieve unpleasant symptoms and move on to the next phase.If the patient is insensitive to this group of drugs, he is prescribed strong hormonal drugs.
Alpha blockers
This type of tablets is prescribed as an adjuvant in the treatment of prostatitis in men (that is, it does not aim to eliminate the problem, but eliminates the symptoms and helps in the action of other, more powerful drugs).Prescribed for men with moderate severity of the disease who have difficulty urinating.
The list of alpha blockers is not that extensive.Each drug is targeted against spasm of the prostate and bladder neck, reduces pressure in the urethra and increases urine outflow.
Expert feedback is clear: treatment with alpha-blockers is generally well tolerated.Minor side effects may occur if you are hypersensitive to the components included in the tablets.
Antispasmodics
In case of acute prostatitis, men are prescribed tablets that relieve spasms.Their effectiveness is based on the fact that they relax the smooth muscles of the blood vessels, increase blood microcirculation and thus reduce inflammation and act as painkillers.
As patient reviews show, antispasmodics are very effective against spasms and can quickly eliminate unpleasant symptoms and relieve severe pain in the groin area.
To improve blood circulation
A common cause of pathology is stagnant formations.They do not allow organ recovery and interfere with the normal action of antibiotics.That is why it is impossible to cure prostatitis if, in parallel with antibiotics, you do not take drugs that improve blood circulation.
What is preferable to use against acute and chronic prostatitis?Antibiotics, antispasmodics or painkillers?The list of drugs is large, there is a whole range of measures that indicate how to treat prostatitis with the help of tablets: some are necessary for prevention, others are aimed at destroying viruses, others should be taken to increase blood flow, relieve spasms and eliminate inflammation.Moreover, there are so many drugs in each group that it is impossible to do without the help of a specialist.In addition, each type of tablet has its own characteristics and contraindications.
Contact doctors and follow their advice - they will prescribe the best and inexpensive drugs and take care of your recovery.And don't forget about disease prevention: it is easier to prevent a disease than to eliminate it later!
