Prostatitis is the most common urological disease today. And the reason for this is that the factors that lead to the development of prostatitis are very common in the daily lives of men. In general, the treatment of prostatitis is a rather complex process, which consists of a complex of procedures, drugs, therapies and massages. Antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, painkillers and drugs to strengthen the immune system help to achieve remission of the disease and to avoid the painful symptoms of prostatitis.
Methods of treating prostatitis with drugs
Several methods of treating the prostate are usually recommended, namely:
- Candles.Applied rectally, they affect the metabolism in the prostate. It is recommended to stay in a supine position for 30-40 minutes after application. The course is from five to ten days. Contraindications: sensitivity to the components of suppositories. Possible side effects: allergies (itching and burning).
- Prostatitis injections.Medications also stimulate the immune system and strengthen the vascular system.
- Instillations.This type of therapy allows the drug to be delivered directly to its destination - the drug is administered through the outer opening of the urethra. It is recommended to inject about 5 ml of the drug mixture, and the bladder should be emptied before the procedure.
- Microenemas.This method is often called "folk" because of the use of infusions and decoctions of medicinal plants, which are commonly used in traditional medicine. It is based on the simultaneous temperature and healing effects, which increases its effectiveness. As a rule, it is recommended to do microenemas before bedtime - so that after the procedure the prostate gland does not succumb to stress and possible hypothermia. Aqueous infusions of sage, calendula, chamomile, motherwort are used as medicines. The solution is injected into the rectum (no more than 100 ml), where it must be absorbed. Microenemas are usually used in conjunction with antibacterial treatment.
- Tablets for the treatment of the prostate gland.Broad-spectrum antibacterial agents are most commonly used to treat a disease such as prostatitis, especially if the cause of the disease has not been identified. Such drugs can be divided into three groups: drugs from the group of tetracycline, drugs from the penicillin series, drugs from the group of fluoroquinolones.
Antibiotics for the treatment of prostatitis
Let's look at the last group of drugs for the treatment of prostatitis in more detail.
Fluoroquinolones are modern, relatively recently developed antibacterial agents. Therefore, they have a number of advantages over other broad-spectrum antibiotics. Drugs in this group cause virtually no immune deficiency in patients. Representatives of fluoroquinolones have an even wider range of effects on microorganisms.
Tetracycline preparations are used as antibacterial treatment for prostatitis slightly less frequently than fluoroquinolones. Specialists usually prescribe antibiotics for chronic and infectious prostatitis. In the non-infectious form, the method of treatment remains controversial and has not been fully studied.
In the treatment of prostatitis, antibacterial drugs are not prescribed immediately, but only after the doctor examines the patient to detect infection. During this period, symptomatic therapy is usually recommended, which is aimed at combating inflammatory processes and pain symptoms.
Antibiotic treatment lasts about four weeks or more with mandatory clinical monitoring of the patient's condition. In the absence of a positive result of treatment, antibacterial drugs are discontinued, but not earlier than two weeks from the beginning of the course.
After successful antibiotic therapy, a long enough period of good patient health can be achieved. However, as a rule, the painful sensations return over time, therefore treatment with antibacterial drugs alone should not be considered sufficient. Good results are obtained from a therapeutic program aimed at increasing the local and general resistance of the organism to pathogenic factors. In this case, you can count on success or at least prolonged remission.
