Prostatitis is the most common male urological disease, the disease is not easy to cure completely. Be sure to prescribe a series of measures aimed at relieving pain, normalizing the process of urination and returning the prostate to normal size. Drug therapy, special massage, physiotherapy. Tablets are selected depending on the form of prostatitis.
Tablets for different types of prostatitis
If bacteria is the cause of the disease, then antibiotics are prescribed. Tablets with a wide range of activities are considered relevant:
- cephalosporins;
- penicillin;
- fluoroquinolones.
The first group of drugs is used mainly by injection. The second and third group are available in tablet form.
In acute prostatitis, it is necessary first of all to relieve pain and prescribe the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Baralgin is often recommended for pain relief. If treatment occurs at home, it is prescribed in the form of tablets. In the hospital, injections are more commonly given.
Viral prostatitis is quite rare. It usually develops in people with very weak immunity. Herpes virus, flu, papillomavirus lead to illness. In addition to drugs that improve blood circulation, antiviral tablets are prescribed. It is imperative to take medicines and vitamins that increase immunity.
Drugs for the treatment of prostatitis
analgesic
Basically, they are needed in the acute form of the disease. Antispasmodics are used, which relax the smooth muscles of blood vessels, increase blood microcirculation. This reduces inflammation and acts as a pain reliever.
In addition, pain relievers are prescribed. They relieve pain in just a few hours, so they need to be used continuously. The above drugs solve another problem - they normalize the condition of the compressed urethra, inflamed and enlarged prostate gland. If the effect is needed as quickly as possible, for example with severe pain, then it is better to use candles. They act faster.
If it is necessary to relax the pelvic floor muscles, muscle relaxants will be prescribed.
Improve blood circulation
Tablets to improve blood circulation are almost always prescribed, since congestion often becomes the cause of prostatitis. They do not allow the body to fully recover, do not allow antibacterial drugs to work at their full capacity. Therefore, vasopressors are prescribed, which improve microcirculation and oxygen supply to all cells. Increases the elasticity of platelets and red blood cells.
Alpha - blocker
This class of drugs includes pills and other release forms that are intended to relax the smooth muscles of the urethra and bladder neck. The course of taking adrenoblockers is quite long, but you need to remember that such pills are not intended for treatment, but to eliminate unpleasant symptoms. Especially effective in cases of chronic urinary retention.
5-alpha reductase inhibitors may also be used for treatment. The action of these drugs is to reduce the volume of the prostate gland and increase urine flow. Usually used in the chronic form, used for at least six months.
homeopathic remedies
Homeopathy is unlikely to help treat the acute form of prostatitis, but may act as an adjunct treatment for the chronic form or for prevention. The most suitable drug will be selected by a specialist.
Features of taking drugs
A man must complete the course of treatment. The absence of symptoms does not mean that the prostate has returned to normal. If this is not done, the inflammation becomes chronic.
The drug is selected only after examination. The physician will take into account the presence of microflora in the smear, the clinical signs and the patient's complaints of pain. Depending on this, a man should receive antibacterial, anti-inflammatory treatment. Recently, bioregulatory peptides are commonly prescribed for post-treatment recovery. They improve the regeneration of prostate cells.
There are many drugs that allow you to treat prostatitis. But only a few are right for you. You cannot prescribe treatment on your own. This can cause sexual dysfunction, which won't be easy to deal with in the future.
