The advisability of prescribing these drugs for the treatment of a latent form is determined by the test results. The presence of bacterial flora can be indicated by the suspended number of leukocytes and the identification of microorganisms in the gland secretion or in pyospermia. The choice of antibiotics against prostatitis is made after analysis of secretions or semen
Features of choice
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 the tissues of the gland. This is the main selection criterion for the treatment of prostatitis. For this purpose, fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, macrolides, etc. are used. are prescribed.
In order to choose the right antibiotics, it is important to consult a doctor. In this situation, if bacterial flora is suspected, an analysis is carried out to identify the type of pathogen. At the same time, its sensitivity to existing active substances 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, the patient and the doctor have the option of waiting for the test results and choosing an antibiotic whose effect is guaranteed. Antibiotics should only be prescribed by a doctor and after carrying out the necessary research.
Fluoroquinolones for prostatitis
These antibiotics have many advantages:
- rapid achievement of high concentrations in tissues;
- minimal number of side effects;
- effectiveness of oral and parenteral forms;
- excellent bioavailability.
An important feature is that drugs of this group have a prolonged effect. After ingestion, the active substance 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 exhibit the most pronounced effect in the presence of intracellular infection. In addition, this particular group of drugs should be prescribed for prostatitis, which is a complication of a sexually transmitted disease. The fluoroquinolones group of drugs has almost no side effects and is well absorbed
All fluoroquinolones, without exception, show high effectiveness in the treatment of typical infections. The only downside is neurotoxicity. Medicines are used only after excluding the presence of tuberculosis, regardless of its localization.
Prostatitis and choice of antibiotics for its treatment
The dosage directly depends on the name of the drug and the concentration of the active substance. Typically, fluoroquinolones are taken at 500 to 1, 000 milligrams per day.
Tetracycline medications
Very often, a synthetic antibacterial agent is prescribed to treat a disease, the main feature of the drug is its ability to penetrate the glandular tissue and accumulate in maximum quantities. In addition, these drugs are affordable and available in a wide selection of release forms.
Antibacterial medications are ineffective against some enterococci. For this reason, they are only prescribed after determining sensitivity.
To treat the pathology, the antibiotic is prescribed in the amount of two tablets per day. The duration of treatment is determined individually.
The medication may be prescribed after a sensitivity test.
Tetracycline antibiotics are effective against mycoplasma, chlamydia and other infections. They are easily tolerated and have high activity. Used in a dose not exceeding two hundred milligrams per day.
In addition to well-known drugs, macrolides are used. Use 500 to 1, 000 milligrams daily. Typically, the maximum dose is used within three days of starting treatment. Then the number of tablets is reduced by half.
When using macrolides, it is important to consider that these medications have not been fully studied. At the same time, it is known that they have low toxicity, quickly accumulate in the tissues of the gland and effectively fight a large number of bacteria.
Medicines from other groups
To treat inflammation, you can use a combined kit containing an antifungal drug, an antibiotic and an antibacterial drug with antiprotozoal activity. This medicine is very important for men and has also been found to be very effective in the treatment of prostatitis. A blister contains 6 to 15 tablets of different medications. They are selected in daily doses and taken at the same time.
Antifungal agent is effective against most prostatitis pathogens
This composition helps eliminate inflammation when identifying pathogens such as Trichomonas, anaerobes, Gardinella, mycoplasma, etc. But what is particularly beneficial is that this antibiotic is effective in the presence of Candida fungi.
According to WHO requirements, it is an ideal drug for the treatment of prostatitis. When used, the effectiveness reaches 95% even in the presence of advanced prostatitis with stable microflora. At the same time, the antibiotic has minimal toxicity, is easily tolerated, is easy to use due to a single dose, and also causes a minimal degree of resistance in microorganisms.
Indications for the use of such an antibiotic are simple prostatitis, inflammation caused by STIs, as well as a combination of prostatitis and urethritis. In the absence of pronounced symptoms, a single application is sufficient. In men with frequent relapses, a five-day course of full dose is necessary.
Processing standards
Specialists from a large number of countries are working to create an effective method of treating recurrent prostatitis. Most are inclined to believe that in men the duration of treatment should be at least two weeks. After that, the patient's condition and test results are evaluated. Typically, treatment continues afterward. In general, the course should last at least 4-6 weeks.
To deal with prostatitis, you must adhere to the prescribed diet and treatment.
In the chronic form of prostatitis, preference is given to antibiotics in the form of tablets and capsules. In this case, the dosage 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 analyzes do not detect bacterial flora, but this does not guarantee its absence. This is precisely what 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 simply impossible to create a specific treatment regimen for the disease. This is explained by the individual characteristics of patients and the variety of 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 for your particular case.
