Prostatitis is the most common male disease in urology and is not easy to cure.A series of measures is needed to reduce pain, normalize the urination process and return the prostate to normal size.Treatment includes medications, special massages and physiotherapeutic procedures.Tablets are selected based on the form of prostatitis.
Tablets for different types of prostatitis
If the cause of the disease is bacteria, antibiotics are prescribed.Tablets with a broad field of action are considered relevant:
- cephalosporins;
- penicillins;
- fluoroquinols.
The first group of drugs is mainly administered by injection.The second and third groups are available in the form of tablets.
In case of acute prostatitis it is first necessary to reduce pain and prescribe the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.Baralgin is often recommended for pain relief.If treatment takes place at home, it is prescribed in tablets.In the hospital, injections are administered more often.
The viral form of prostatitis is quite rare.It usually develops in people with very weak immune systems.The disease is caused by the herpes virus, influenza virus, papillomavirus.In addition to drugs that improve blood circulation, antiviral tablets are prescribed.It is mandatory to take drugs and vitamins that increase immunity.
Groups of drugs for the treatment of prostatitis
Pain pills
They are needed mainly for acute forms of the disease.Antispasmodics are used that relax the smooth muscles of the blood vessels and increase blood microcirculation.This reduces inflammation and acts as a pain reliever.
Additionally, analgesics are prescribed.They relieve pain for only a few hours, so constant use is necessary.The above drugs solve another problem: they normalize the condition of the compressed urethra, inflamed and enlarged prostate.If the effect needs to be as quick as possible, for example in case of severe pain, it is better to use candles.They act faster.
If it is necessary to relax the muscles of the perineum, muscle relaxants are prescribed.
Improved blood circulation
Tablets are almost always prescribed to improve blood circulation, since prostatitis is often caused by congestion.They do not allow the organ to fully recover and do not allow antibacterial drugs to act at full strength.Therefore, an angioprotector is prescribed that improves microcirculation and oxygen supply to all cells.Increases the elasticity of platelets and red blood cells.
Alpha - adrenergic blockers
This group of drugs includes tablets and other forms of drugs aimed at relaxing the smooth muscles of the urethra and bladder neck.The course of taking adrenergic blockers is quite long, but it must be remembered that such tablets are not aimed at treatment, but at eliminating unpleasant symptoms.Particularly effective against chronic urinary retention.
5-alpha reductase inhibitors may also be used for treatment.The action of these drugs is aimed at reducing the volume of the prostate and increasing the strength of urine flow.Often used for chronic forms, taken for at least six months.
Homeopathic remedies
Homeopathy is unlikely to help in the acute form of prostatitis, but it can serve as an additional treatment for the chronic form or for prevention.A specialist will select the most suitable drug.
Features of taking pills
A man must complete the course of treatment to the end.The absence of symptoms does not mean that the prostate has returned to normal.If this is not done, the inflammation will become chronic.
Drugs are selected only after examination.The doctor takes into account the presence of microflora in the smear, clinical signs and complaints of pain of the patient.Depending on this, the man must take antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment.Recently, bioregulatory peptides are often prescribed for recovery after treatment.They improve the regeneration of prostate cells.
There is a wide variety of drugs to combat prostatitis.But only some are right for you.You cannot prescribe the treatment yourself.This can cause sexual dysfunction, which will be difficult to overcome in the future.
