Today, modern medicine can offer drugs with various therapeutic effects for the treatment of the disease called prostatitis. If we talk about even the most complex and severe manifestations of this disease, they can be cured if you follow all the doctor's prescriptions and engage in comprehensive treatment.
Prostatitis– the most common urological disease, which is an inflammatory process in the prostate gland. According to statistics, about 3 out of 5 men aged 20 to 50 years suffer from prostatitis. Even starting from the age of 16-18 years, you can catch this disease, for example, with shallow hypothermia of the pelvic area. Complications of advanced forms of this disease are impotence, infertility, inflammatory diseases of other organs of the genitourinary system, as well as prostate cancer.
Since there are many reasons for the development of prostatitis, it is impossible to choose the most effective drug for prostatitis.
In the presence of infectious and non-infectious forms of the inflammatory process, various types of drugs or their complex combinations are used. The choice of medicine is mainly influenced by the general condition of the patient, the presence of concomitant diseases and complications.
The type of therapeutic treatment depends on the form of the disease
Medicines for the treatment of prostatitis are available in various pharmaceutical forms. These drugs can be in the form of tablets, capsules, injections, and rectal suppositories. Using these drugs in combination, you can get faster positive results and almost complete recovery.
The complex of treatment procedures includes antibacterial therapy, prostate massage, immunostimulation and physiotherapy. Correcting the patient's lifestyle plays a big role in the treatment of prostate disease.
Recently, traditional medicine has recognized traditional methods to combat prostatitis. Certain medicinal preparations can be purchased in ready-made form at the pharmacy, while others can be collected and prepared independently. This herbal collection includes anti-inflammatory, diuretic, calming and soothing herbs; this treatment can be used in addition to the main treatment after consultation with a qualified specialist.
Treatment of acute form
The acute form of prostatitis is caused by various bacteria and pathogenic microorganisms. The main symptoms of this disease include general body intoxication, high body temperature and chills. There is often pain in the groin and lower back, and there is an increased urge to urinate. The process of urinating is quite painful and is accompanied by the discharge of pus from the urethra.
Treatment of acute conditions– the use of prostatitis drugs such as antibiotics. They have a relatively broad spectrum of activity and are able to penetrate prostate tissue. The most common types are macrolides, cephalosporins, protected penicillins, and fluoroquinolones.
The choice of an effective drug always depends on the type of microorganisms and their sensitivity to certain types of antibiotics. Treatment is mainly outpatient; in more advanced cases, with severe intoxication, immediate hospitalization is indicated; in the presence of serious complications, surgical intervention is recommended.
Chronic stage
Chronic inflammation of the gland is the result of an acute phase experienced without appropriate treatment, or an acute disease that does not fully heal. Characteristic symptoms are disturbing pain in the genital area, perineum or rectum. There may be a burning sensation when urinating, worse sleep, and irritability. Complications of the chronic course are male infertility, erectile dysfunction, inflammatory processes of the pelvic organs.
Treatment should be outpatient, but takes longer than in the acute form. Medicines for the treatment of chronic form must be selected by a specialist individually; the choice of the necessary drug depends on the quality of the previous treatment and the sensitivity of the bacterial agent. In addition to antibiotics, immunomodulators, analgesics, physiotherapeutic procedures and prostate massage are used.
At this stage, drugs such as rectal suppositories (suppositories) have found widespread use. They effectively combat gland swelling, improve local immunity, improve blood microcirculation, and inhibit pathogenic microorganisms. The most popular preparations are products based on extracts from the tissue of the prostate gland of bulls.
Often one can see cases such as asymptomatic chronic prostatitis, which has no obvious signs and occurs latently in the body. The treating specialist knows what drugs to take in this case, but often drugs with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects are recommended.
Preventive measures
After a course of antibiotic therapy for acute prostatitis, you need to take drugs aimed at combating relapse and preventing chronic.
For this purpose, herbal preparations and immunocorrectors are prescribed. Prostate massage is quite effective as a preventive treatment.
In addition, you should adjust your lifestyle and exercise more often. A special method of gymnastics has been developed, which is designed to improve the function of the prostate gland and other organs of the genitourinary system. It is important to have a regular sexual partner and have a normal sex life.
Acute and especially chronic stage therapy of inflammation of the prostate gland is a rather long and financially expensive process. It is often impossible to cure it completely; The use of drugs only helps to relieve symptoms and improve the patient's well-being. Therefore, the best treatment for prostatitis is timely preventive measures.
New treatment methods
Modern treatment methods do not stop. More and more new drugs for inflammation of the prostate gland are being developed regularly. These include adrenergic blockers, they relieve spasms in the bladder, sphincter and prostate itself, this promotes the free release of glandular secretions, and also prevents congestion and swelling.
Sometimes female hormones are used to treat the inflammatory process in the prostate gland. They reduce the inflammatory process and can cure it in combination with other drugs.
To get the desired effect quickly from the treatment of any form of prostatitis, drugs should be prescribed exclusively by a urologist-andrologist. After studying the patient's condition and passing all tests, identifying all possible diseases and concomitant complications, the specialist will make an individual physiotherapeutic and medical complex. Only compliance with all the recommendations of specialists allows the patient to achieve full recovery.
