Prostate inflammatory diseases affect about 60% of men. Such widespread occurrence of inflammatory prostatitis is explained by a large number of factors that can cause it. The cause may be due to infectious damage, impaired immune defenses, hypothermia of tissues or impaired blood circulation in the glandular region, lack of regular sex.
The urgency of the problem has contributed to the emergence of many drugs on the market. Although there are many medications, you should not start treatment on your own. A urologist will help determine the cause of inflammation in a particular case.
Medicines for prostatitis
A synthetic method used to achieve fast and high-quality results in the treatment of drug prostatitis. The following classes of drugs are used:
- Antibiotics.They are used in the presence of a laboratory confirmed bacterial pathogen. The type of antibacterial agent used depends on the sensitivity of the bacteria. In most cases, this is fluoroquinolones, tetracycline or penicillin.
- Anti-inflammatory drugsfor inflammatory prostate disease. They reduce inflammation in the gland, thereby improving blood flow, drainage, and pain relief.
- Muscle relaxants for skeletal muscles.Reduces tension in the muscles near the gland, manifested by a reduction in discomfort and pain.
- Muscle relaxant for smooth muscles.Reduces constriction of the urethra, ducts and blood vessels, improves urine flow, prostate secretion and pain relief.
- alpha blockersfor inflammatory prostatitis. They reduce the tonicity of the smooth muscles of the urethra and bladder neck, manifested by an improved urine flow and a decrease in the frequency of disease relapses.
- Endocrine drugs.Reduces growth and swelling of glandular tissues.
- Immunostimulating drugs.Designed to increase the body's defenses against infection.
- Drug therapeutic agent.They have combined properties: reduce gland swelling, improve urine flow, increase potency. They are ineffective in monotherapy. Very suitable for disease prevention.
Treatment options vary depending on the type of prostatitis.
Depending on the case, the drug can be dispensed in the form of tablets, suppositories, injections, drops, or tablets.
Good results can be achieved when combined with drug treatment, physical therapy and prostate massage. A prerequisite for treating the patient is to adjust his or her lifestyle.
Medication for acute prostatitis
Acute prostatitis occurs as a result of an infection. His treatment is based on the use of antibiotics. Requirements for these substances must include activity against this pathogen, good tissue penetration, and a minimum of side effects.
Edema in acute prostatitis will cause pain and urinary retention. For these reasons, the appointment of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and antispasmodics is imperative.
It should be remembered that the acute inflammatory process is contraindicated for physiotherapy and massage.
Preparations for chronic prostatitis
Chronic prostatitis requires longer treatment than acute prostatitis. Prolonged inflammatory process causes proliferation of connective tissue, which will hinder the penetration of antibacterial agents into the site of infection.
Therefore, in the treatment of chronic prostatitis, enzyme preparations are used as a supplement. They are prescribed in the form of suppositories.
General immunomodulatory therapy is performed, including the prescription of a number of drugs.
Slowing blood flow in the gland slows down the speed of metabolism and slows down regeneration. To improve microcirculation, tablets are prescribed.
All chronic diseases deplete the body's reserves. In order to replenish the deficiency of vitamins and trace elements, multivitamin complexes are prescribed.
Some cases of chronic prostatitis require hormone therapy.
Although the drug is available, self-treatment is not recommended. The disease can turn into a chronic form, leading to urethral curvature, degenerative adenoma. At the first sign of the disease, you should consult a urologist immediately.
