The appropriateness of prescribing these drugs for the treatment of the latent form is determined by the test results. The presence of bacterial flora can be demonstrated by the number of hanging leukocytes and the identification of microorganisms in glandular secretions or in pyospermia. The choice of antibiotics for prostatitis is made after a test of secretions or semen
Optional features
Various antibiotics are used to treat inflammation in men. When choosing, it is important to give preference to those that have the ability to accumulate in glandular tissue. This is the main selection criteria for the treatment of prostatitis. For this purpose, fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, macrolides, etc. are prescribed.
To choose an antibiotic wisely, it is important to consult a doctor. In this situation, if bacterial flora is suspected, analysis is performed to identify the type of pathogen. At the same time, its sensitivity to existing active ingredients is determined. Only on this basis is preference given to one or another drug.
It is important to note that the symptoms of chronic prostatitis are usually mild. For this reason, patients and doctors have the opportunity to wait for the test results and choose antibiotics that will have a guaranteed effect. Antibiotics can only be prescribed by a doctor and after conducting the necessary research.
Fluoroquinolones for prostatitis
This antibiotic has many advantages:
- rapid achievement of high concentrations in tissues;
- minimal number of side effects;
- efficacy of both oral and parenteral forms;
- excellent bioavailability.
An important feature is that drugs in this group have a long-lasting effect. After ingestion, the active ingredient is released within 24 hours. For this reason, the concentration of the substance is maintained until the next dose.
Synthetic broad-spectrum antibacterial drugs are especially often used for treatment. They show the most significant effect in the presence of intracellular infection. In addition, this particular group of drugs should be prescribed for prostatitis that occurs as a complication of sexually transmitted diseases. The group of fluoroquinolone drugs has almost no side effects and is well absorbed
All fluoroquinolones, without exception, show high effectiveness in the treatment of common infections. The only downside is neurotoxicity. The drug is used only after excluding the presence of tuberculosis of any localization.
Prostatitis and the choice of antibiotics for its treatment
The dosage directly depends on the name of the drug and the concentration of the active ingredient. In general, fluoroquinolones are taken at 500-1000 milligrams per day.
Tetracycline drugs
Often, synthetic antibacterial agents are prescribed to treat diseases, the main feature of the drug is its ability to penetrate glandular tissue, accumulating in maximum quantities. Moreover, the drug is affordable and available in a variety of release forms.
Antibacterial drugs are ineffective against some enterococci. For this reason, they are prescribed only after the sensitivity has been determined.
To treat pathology, antibiotics are prescribed in the amount of two tablets a day. The duration of therapy is determined individually.
Medicines can be prescribed after a sensitivity test.
Tetracycline antibiotics are effective against mycoplasmas, chlamydia and other infections. They are easy to accept and have high activity. Used in a dose of no more than two hundred milligrams per day.
Along with well-known drugs, macrolides are used. Use 500-1000 milligrams per day. As a rule, the maximum dose is used within three days after the start of treatment. Then the number of tablets is reduced by half.
When using macrolides, it is important to consider that these drugs have not been fully studied. At the same time, it is known that they are low toxic, quickly accumulate in glandular tissue and effectively overcome a large number of bacteria.
Drugs of other groups
To treat inflammation, you can use a combination kit containing antifungal drugs, antibiotics and antibacterial drugs with antiprotozoal activity. This medicine is very important for men and has also shown high effectiveness in the treatment of prostatitis. One blister contains 6 to 15 tablets of different medicines. They are selected in daily doses and taken all at the same time.
Antifungal agents are effective against most pathogens of prostatitis
This composition makes it possible to eliminate inflammation when identifying pathogens such as Trichomonas, anaerobes, Gardinella, mycoplasma, etc. But what is very beneficial is that these antibiotics are effective against the presence of Candida fungi.
According to WHO requirements, this is an ideal drug for the treatment of prostatitis. When used, its effectiveness reaches 95% even in the presence of advanced prostatitis with stable microflora. At the same time, antibiotics have minimal toxicity, are easily tolerated, easy to use due to a single dose, and also cause a minimal level of resistance in microorganisms.
Indications for the use of such antibiotics are uncomplicated prostatitis, inflammation caused by STIs, as well as the combination of prostatitis with urethritis. If there are no obvious symptoms, one application is sufficient. In men with frequent relapses, a five-day course at the full dose is required.
Standard of treatment
Experts from a large number of countries are trying to create effective methods to treat recurrent prostatitis. Most tend to believe that in men the treatment period should be at least two weeks. After this, the patient's condition and test results are evaluated. As a rule, therapy continues after this. In general, the course should be at least 4-6 weeks.
To overcome prostatitis, you must adhere to the prescribed regimen and course of therapy.
In the form of chronic prostatitis, preference is given to antibiotics in tablets and capsules. In this case, the dose should be as high as possible. This is the only way to achieve lasting results.
The latent form of prostatitis is considered separately. In most cases, laboratory analysis does not detect bacterial flora, but this does not guarantee its absence. This explains the fact that when using antibiotics in men, pelvic pain syndrome is eliminated and the general condition improves.
At the same time, it is important to remember that it is impossible to create a specific treatment regimen for this disease. This is explained by the individual characteristics of the patient and various forms of pathology. This is why you should not take antibiotics yourself, which have shown excellent results in other men. Only a doctor can choose the most appropriate treatment option in your particular case.
