To eliminate inflammatory changes in the tissues of the prostate gland, the urologist often prescribes certain drugs to treat prostatitis.
Do not assume that a modern pharmaceutical agent will help any man suffering from a disease to cope with the disease.
The choice of medication depends on many factors and for rapid recovery and prevention of the transition from acute prostatitis to a chronic form it is necessary to choose the whole therapy after a thorough examination.
What pharmaceutical products are used in the treatment of prostatitis
Pharmaceuticals are always needed to treat acute prostatitis. Without their use it is impossible to achieve complete cessation of inflammation and restoration of prostate function.
The man must go through the entire course of therapy to the end, the disappearance of symptoms does not mean a complete cure.
Therefore, if you stop taking medication, it will become the main reason for the transition of inflammation of the prostate gland in the recurrent, ie chronic stage.
Medicines are selected on the basis of data obtained during the examination and can be prescribed in complex therapy with herbal medicines and folk remedies.
The physician should take into account the detection of certain microflora in the smear, clinical signs and complaints of the patient, data obtained during an instrumental examination of the prostate.
Based on this, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and restorative treatment is chosen.
Depending on the course of the disease, all selected drugs are prescribed in the form of injections, tablets. Installations are sometimes used.
Injectable drugs
They are usually prescribed by a urologist in the acute stage of inflammation and are most often antibiotics.
Injectable drugs allow you to quickly achieve the desired therapeutic effect, but prostatitis injections are made in a hospital setting.
Anesthetic injections can also be used for severe pain.
Pills
They can be used for a long time to treat prostatitis. Tablets include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antispasmodics, muscle relaxants.
In the case of prostatitis, it is also important to use drugs that improve metabolism.
Recently, bioregulatory peptides have often been prescribed to improve prostate cell regeneration.
Installations
This is the introduction into the urethra of a drug solution with a specific mechanism of action.
The introduction of the drug into the urethra ensures the earliest disposal of bacterial flora and allows faster recovery of the inflamed mucosa.
Candles
Another dosage form for the treatment of prostatitis. Prostatitis candles are used as painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs.
You can also replace suppositories with microclysters with drugs whose action is aimed at improving microcirculation in the tissues of the prostate gland.
Only a doctor can decide which dosage forms to use to treat a particular patient.
Some sick men cannot do without injections, others can be cured with the help of pills. The choice of treatment method depends on the stage of the disease.
In the chronic stage, tablets are mainly used, but they often have to be taken for a long time.
The most popular and widely used drugs for prostatitis
When choosing a therapeutic regimen for his patient, the urologist takes into account all possible contraindications and the sensitivity of the detected pathogens to drugs.
Since acute prostatitis is in most cases still a bacterial infection, treatment accordingly begins with the use of antibacterial drugs.
But this is not limited to this, the doctor additionally chooses other drugs that help improve blood circulation, relieve spasms and support cells.
That is, the whole treatment consists in the use of several drugs at once with different mechanism of action.
Medicines for bacterial prostatitis
If prostatitis is found to be caused by bacteria, then antibiotics should be prescribed.
First, they choose drugs with a broad spectrum of action, that is, those that can be destroyed by several types of microbes at once.
- Cephalosporins are most commonly administered by injection. The drugs are administered intramuscularly or intravenously for at least 10 days;
- Penicillins are used in the form of tablets with a specially selected dose;
- Fluoroquinolones are used if there is intolerance to antibiotics from other groups. The drug can be used for two weeks.
Treatment of acute prostatitis
In the case of prostatitis in the acute stage of the disease, in addition to antibacterial drugs, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and antispasmodics are needed.
Under their influence, the inflammation decreases faster and the pain disappears with discomfort.
- Antispasmodics are available in both injections and tablets. In a hospital setting, they are administered intramuscularly for pain;
- Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can also be used in injections and tablets. If the man additionally has stomach diseases, it is best to use injectable drugs, as this group of drugs adversely affects the mucous membrane of the organ. Injections or suppositories are most commonly used today.
Treatment of viral prostatitis
Viral prostatitis is rare. In addition to the influence of the virus in the development of the disease, a certain role in this case is played by the reduced immunity of the man.
Among the causes of this form of the disease are herpes simplex virus, influenza virus, human papillomavirus infection.
In addition to anti-inflammatory and microcirculatory enhancers, the doctor prescribes antiviral drugs to treat viral prostatitis.
You also need drugs that increase immunity.
Drugs that relieve muscle spasms
Muscle relaxants in the treatment of prostatitis are needed to reduce the tone of tense muscles. This reduces pain and makes it easier to urinate.
Drugs that improve blood circulation
In any prostatitis, circulatory disorders are always found, which leads to stagnation and does not allow the tissues of the body to recover.
Therefore, in complex treatment it is necessary to use drugs that improve blood circulation.
To normalize the filling of blood vessels, a preparation with horse chestnut fruit extract is used.
Other groups of drugs
As already mentioned, the choice of treatment by a doctor is made on the basis of many data revealed during the examination. Therefore, the treatment regimen for one patient with prostatitis may differ significantly from the treatment regimen for another patient.
In the case of prostatitis, immunomodulators are often additionally prescribed, under the influence of which the work of the immune system improves faster.
In the chronic stage of the disease, an injectable drug is often used, which strengthens blood vessels, improves cell regeneration and has a positive effect on urination.
In the treatment of prostatitis, this drug is used repeatedly in courses of 5-6 injections.
Organic supplements in tablet form are popular.
These preparations contain a complex of trace elements that have a positive effect on prostate tissue.
Summary
Treatment of prostatitis should not be an independent choice. You can't just go to the pharmacy and choose drugs to restore prostate function.
This approach leads to the transition from acute to chronic prostatitis and is one of the causes of sexual dysfunction in the future.
An examination by a doctor will allow you to pinpoint the cause of the disease and eliminate it with the help of a specific group of drugs.
In the process of drug therapy, the urologist constantly monitors the changes that occur and can therefore adjust medication intake in an effort to improve the effectiveness of treatment.
Every man should remember that the appearance of pain and discomfort when urinating and at rest is reason enough to go to the hospital.
Timely treatment of prostatitis with drugs and medications will completely relieve the patient from many troubles in the future.
