Medications and drugs for the treatment of chronic prostatitis.

Despite the fact that the problem of prostate inflammation is recognized as the most serious for the male population, medications and drugs for the treatment of chronic prostatitis make it possible to quickly get rid of this problem. It is worth understanding the types of drugs in more detail.

Types of medications for chronic prostatitis.

Pharmacies offer the following range of medicines:

1. Oral agents.These include tablets and capsules. They differ from each other only in that the latter have a gelatin shell, inside which the drug is contained in the form of a powder, and the tablets are characterized by a dense consistency. Both medications are taken before, during, or after meals. Some medications must be taken with water.
2. Injections or solutions for injections.Medications used for chronic prostatitis are administered both intramuscularly and intravenously. This guarantees the immediate action of the product.
3. Candles.They are taken for a 5-10 day treatment and also have a lot of positive effects. These include analgesic, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. Suppositories are administered only when the patient is lying on his side, in this position it is necessary to lie down for another 30 minutes after inserting the suppository. During this time, all substances have time to be absorbed and assimilated.
4. Instillations.This method of treatment is rarely used and, as a rule, only if the patient is in the hospital. The medication is injected directly into the urethra using a catheter and therefore this procedure is performed only by experienced medical personnel.
5. Microclysters.Doctors consider the presented remedy not to be a complete treatment drug, but rather a prevention method. Microclysters contain herbal decoctions that have an anti-inflammatory effect.

These drugs for chronic prostatitis are considered the main among the drugs.

In addition, there is another classification of drugs:

1. Etiotropic.This category of drugs fights infections, which are considered the main cause of the disease.
2. Pathogen.Reduce congestion in the gland and suppress inflammation.
3. Symptomatic.They are used exclusively to combat discomfort during illness.

Muscle relaxants

Designed to relieve increased muscle tone. It is impossible to completely cure prostatitis with their help, they are used exclusively as an additional remedy.

In therapy, medications are prescribed to improve blood microcirculation in the prostate.

Alpha blockers

Alpha blockers are used if a man experiences discomfort when urinating. This problem is common in situations where a young man suffers from prostatitis; Many times he feels the need to urinate, but he cannot relieve himself. Only in this case are alpha blockers prescribed.

These drugs have a large number of good reviews and are often recommended by doctors.

It is believed that to obtain long-lasting results it is necessary to use these medications for at least 6 to 12 months. Stopping treatment immediately after symptoms disappear increases the risk of exacerbations.

antibiotics

Antibiotics are intended to eliminate the cause of prostatitis, but their choice must be approached responsibly. Not all antibiotics can quickly and completely eliminate the cause of the disease.

There are the following groups of antibiotics:

1. Cephalosporins.They are used for parenteral action and have a wide range of applications.
2. Macrolides.They differ in that they are not toxic and do not affect the intestinal microflora. It penetrates well into the prostate tissue. They are reserve antibiotics and are therefore used only if other groups of drugs have not worked.
3. Penicillins.They are distinguished by a fairly low cost, a convenient way of administration and high efficiency. As a rule, they are used in case of intolerance to fluoroquinolones or in the presence of chronic diseases of multiple organs.
4. Fluoroquinolones.They have proven effectiveness and are well absorbed into the prostate tissue.
5. Tetracyclines.They have negative properties, including a negative effect on the digestive tract.

Anti-inflammatory medications

Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate that will progress if left untreated. If you relieve inflammation, you can help eliminate the unpleasant symptoms of the disease.

It is important to remember that the use of each drug and its dose must be adjusted by the doctor based on the patient's condition and symptoms.

Steroid

Steroids are used only if non-steroidal treatment does not help.

It is important to note that steroids significantly suppress the immune system and therefore cannot be prescribed if the patient has HIV or another immunodeficiency.

Non steroids

Nonsteroidal medications have few side effects and are very effective.

It is important to understand that it is recommended to take them exclusively during the acute period of the disease, within 5-7 days, no more.

Caution should be used if the patient has an exacerbation of gastrointestinal diseases.

Local remedies

Local remedies are a category of medications used especially for prostate dysfunction. In the acute form of prostatitis, ointments and suppositories are most often used, and in the chronic form of the disease the following substances are prescribed:

1. A drug based on prostate extract improves urine excretion, and also has a positive effect on the metabolic processes of the body.
2. Morpholinium-methyl-triazolyl-thioacetate. Improves regeneration processes in the prostate gland.
3. Propolis. Strengthens the immune system, reduces inflammation. It is a natural product of beekeeping.
4. Bituminous ammonium sulfonate. It has an anti-inflammatory and local analgesic effect.
5. Propolis-based candles, however, also contain other additives: wax, honey and royal jelly.
6. Sea buckthorn oil. You have to be careful with this, because in some cases the product can cause an unpleasant reaction in the form of a burning sensation in the rectum. It has a greater anti-inflammatory effect.
7. In the ointment category, there is a camphor-based product, which is prescribed for the outflow of urine and secretions. It is administered rectally using an applicator.
8. We must not forget about suppositories, which are prescribed not only during the chronic course of the disease, but also after surgery.

Principles of adequate pharmacological treatment.

First of all, it is better to entrust your own health to a doctor who will help you plan your treatment. This does not necessarily mean that the therapy is expensive; On the contrary, properly selected cheap drugs will not be less effective than expensive ones.

The principles of adequate treatment are as follows:

1. First of all, examinations are carried out during which it is necessary to find out what type of microflora causes prostatitis.
2. A study is being carried out on sensitivity to certain groups of drugs. A correctly selected drug already represents half of the success of the treatment.
3. For the further course of treatment, not only the most effective, but also the safest remedy is selected.
4. Based on the tests, as well as the characteristics of the patient's body, the treatment method and its dosage are selected. It is strictly not recommended to prescribe medications yourself, especially when it comes to suppositories.
5. Once the course is prescribed, it must begin on the same day. The course is selected according to the patient's well-being and must be strictly followed. Deviations from the medication regimen are prohibited because they can slow progress or even cause a reverse process.
6. During treatment, one should also not forget that timely examinations and tests must be carried out. This is only necessary to be able to observe the dynamics of the disease and adjust the medication intake.

We must not forget that the fastest results can only be achieved if complex treatment is used. The course should also include massages or special baths.

It is important to note that it is categorically not recommended to perform massages on your own, using video tutorials or written manuals, because in most cases this only worsens the patient's condition. Massages must be performed by specialists.

The regimen and duration of treatment will depend solely on the body of each patient; However, in any case, it is recommended to start treatment as soon as possible, before the disease begins to actively progress.

During the treatment process, we must also not forget that in addition to complex treatment, we must also remember about non-drug therapy methods. These include proper nutrition and exercise. There are also physiotherapeutic procedures and prostate massages, without which the treatment cannot be considered complete.

The following recommendations should also be followed:

1. Be careful of hypothermia, particularly in the feet, lower back, scrotum, and penis.
2. Avoid high temperatures, as they can accelerate the spread of infections and bacteria throughout the body.
3. Quit alcohol and tobacco.
4. Maintain an adequate diet. The diet must be balanced and healthy.

Contraindications to drug therapy

There are a series of contraindications to pharmacological treatment that must be taken into account when choosing the treatment and of which the doctor must be informed.

1. Intolerance to antibiotics.Each organism has its own characteristics, so if someone in the environment calmly tolerates a certain antibiotic, this does not mean that their body will react in the same way.
2. Concomitant diseases.These include liver and kidney diseases, as well as diabetes. With such diseases, special care should be taken when choosing the right medication.
3. Allergic reactions.During testing, it is necessary to check whether the drug causes an allergic reaction. If so, it can only worsen the patient's condition. It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that an allergic reaction can occur not only to one drug, but also to various classes of substances.
4. It is also important to change medications over several treatment cycles.If the drug helped the previous time, this time it is necessary to replace it with another, otherwise the treatment may not be effective enough.

Physiotherapy also has certain contraindications that must be respected:

• epilepsy;
• elevated body temperature, above 38, if accompanied by fever;
• renal insufficiency;
• cardiovascular diseases;
• alterations in the functioning of the respiratory system;
• the presence of malignant tumors - this can lead to accelerated growth of cancer cells and then a deterioration in the patient's well-being;
• Anemia or tendency to bleed.

Physiotherapy can only be carried out if the disease is in a chronic stage and in the absence of purulent discharge.

This form of prostatitis should not occur separately, but simultaneously with modern drug treatment.
