Today, modern medicine can offer drugs with a wide variety of therapeutic effects for the treatment of a disease called prostatitis. If we talk about even the most complex and serious manifestations of this disease, they can be cured if you follow all the doctor's prescriptions and undergo comprehensive treatment.
Prostatitis– the most common urological disease, which is an inflammatory process in the prostate. According to statistics, about 3 out of 5 men aged 20 to 50 suffer from prostatitis. Even from 16-18 years old, you can catch this disease, for example, with banal hypothermia of the pelvic region. 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 single out the most effective remedy for prostatitis.
In the presence of infectious and non-infectious forms of the inflammatory process, a wide variety of types of drugs or their complex combinations are used. The choice of drugs is particularly influenced by the general condition of the patient, the presence of concomitant diseases and complications.
Types of therapeutic treatment depending on the form of the disease
Medications for the treatment of prostatitis are available in a wide variety of pharmaceutical forms. These medications can come in the form of tablets, capsules, injections and rectal suppositories. Using these drugs in combination, you can achieve a faster positive result and almost complete recovery.
The set of treatment procedures includes antibacterial therapy, prostate massage, immunostimulation and physiotherapy. Correction of the patient's lifestyle plays an important role in the treatment of prostate diseases.
Quite recently, traditional medicine has recognized folk methods of combating prostatitis. Some medicinal preparations can be purchased ready-made at the pharmacy, while others can be collected and prepared independently. This herbal collection includes anti-inflammatory, diuretic, relaxing 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 pathogenic bacteria and microorganisms. The main symptoms of this disease include general intoxication of the body, high body temperature and chills. Very often, pain appears in the groin area and lower back, as well as an increased urge to urinate. The process of urination is quite painful and is accompanied by the release of pus from the urethra.
Treatment of acute conditions– the use of prostatitis medications such as antibiotics. They have a fairly broad spectral activity and are able to penetrate prostate tissues. 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 a particular type of antibiotic. Treatment is primarily outpatient; in particularly advanced cases, in case of severe poisoning, urgent 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 suffered without appropriate treatment or an incompletely cured acute course of the disease. Characteristic symptoms are persistent pain in the genital area, perineum or rectum. There may be a burning sensation during urination, worsening sleep and irritability. Complications of the chronic course are male infertility, erectile dysfunction and the inflammatory process of the pelvic organs.
Treatment should be outpatient, but takes more time than in the acute form. Medicines for the treatment of chronic form should be selected by a specialist strictly individually; the choice of necessary drugs depends on the quality of previous treatment and the sensitivity of bacterial agents. In addition to antibiotics, immunomodulators, painkillers, physiotherapeutic procedures and prostate massage are used.
At this stage, drugs such as rectal suppositories (suppositories) are widely used. They effectively fight swelling of the gland, increase local immunity, improve blood microcirculation and inhibit pathogenic microorganisms. The most popular preparations are products based on extract of bull prostate tissue.
Very often, such cases can be observed as chronic asymptomatic prostatitis, which does not have obvious signs and occurs latently in the body. The attending specialist knows which medicine to take in this case, but most often drugs with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects are recommended.
Preventive measures
After antibiotic treatment for acute prostatitis, you should take medications aimed at combating relapses and preventing chronicity.
For this purpose, herbal preparations and immunocorrectors are prescribed. Prostate massage is very effective as a preventative treatment.
Additionally, you should adjust your lifestyle and exercise more often. Special gymnastics methods have been developed to improve the functioning of the prostate and other organs of the genitourinary system. It is important to have a regular sexual partner and to lead a normal sex life.
Treatment of acute and especially chronic stages of prostate inflammation is a fairly long and financially expensive process. Often, it is not possible to completely heal; the use of medications only relieves symptoms and improves the patient's well-being. Therefore, the best treatment for prostatitis is timely preventive measures.
New treatment methods
Modern treatment methods do not stand still. More and more new drugs against prostate inflammation are regularly being developed. These include adrenergic blockers, they relieve spasm of the bladder, sphincter and the prostate itself, which promotes the free release of glandular secretions, and also prevents congestion and swelling.
Sometimes female hormones are used to treat inflammatory processes in the prostate. They reduce the inflammation process and can cure it in combination with other medications.
To quickly achieve the desired effect of treatment of any form of prostatitis, medications should be prescribed exclusively by a specialized urologist-andrologist. After studying the patient's condition and passing all tests, identifying all possible concomitant diseases and complications, the specialist will create an individual physiotherapeutic and medicinal complex. Only compliance with all the specialist's recommendations allows patients to achieve complete recovery.
