Prostatitis is an inflammatory process that has developed in the glandular tissue of the prostate gland, sometimes with a passage to the muscular part of this organ. This causes perineal pain, weakness, fatigue, urinary dysfunction, and sexual dysfunction. It is imperative to treat acute prostatitis to avoid dangerous complications of this disease.
At present, both the causes and the processes occurring in prostatitis are well understood. Therefore, the urologist has a large arsenal of tools for the treatment of this disease. They should be prescribed only by a specialist who is aware of what links in the development of the disease affect a particular drug and also takes into account contraindications.
Antibacterial agents
The most common cause of prostatitis is bacteria. Antibacterial drugs are directed against them.
To carry out a targeted effect on the bacterium that caused prostatitis in a particular person, it is necessary to conduct a bacteriological study of the secretion secreted by the prostate. Only after knowing the name of the microorganism, what its properties are and which antibacterial agents it is sensitive to, can a suitable antibiotic be chosen. And modern drugs with a similar orientation are able to cure even severe forms of the disease. In acute bacterial prostatitis, the following antibiotics are used:
- amoxicillin;
- ceftriaxone;
- cefotaxime;
- ofloxacin;
- ciprofloxacin;
- Azithromycin.
This is not a complete list of antibacterial drugs used in the treatment of prostatitis.
Antiviral treatment
If prostatitis has a herpetic etiology, it is treated with antiviral drugs. it:
- acyclovir;
- valciclovir;
- Ffamciclovir.
The latter drug is the "gold standard" for the treatment of viral prostatitis.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
Drugs such as Diclofenac, Indomethacin, Ketoprofen or Ketorolac are needed not so much to eliminate the pain that accompanies this disease, but to reduce the swelling of the gland and its inflammation. They also contribute to the appearance in the blood of substances that facilitate the manifestation of intoxication and reduce elevated body temperature.
The optimal drug that fights inflammation is Diclofenac, in addition, it eliminates the pain syndrome very well. If the pain is particularly severe and acute, Ketorolac is used.
Drugs that eliminate spasm
In the treatment of prostatitis, drugs are used that act on various key points of the spasm of the muscles of the pelvis and prostate. This allows you to improve urination and help the drugs of the previous group to eliminate pain. So, here apply:
- Drotaverine - acts on smooth muscle, making that reaction impossible in it, due to which muscle spasm occurs;
- Baclofen - reduces the sensitivity of the nerve fibers of the prostate and poisonous organs;
- Tamsulosin: acts only on those receptors found in the muscles of the bladder and prostate.
Auxiliary drugs
A good addition to the treatment of prostatitis are the following drugs:
- Prostate extract - the drug protects prostate cells from damage during inflammation, improves microcirculation, eliminates congestion in the vessels of the small pelvis and strengthens the vessels. All of these effects are extremely beneficial for chronic prostatitis. Having an animal, not of chemical origin, does not cause side effects. It can be used in the form of injections or suppositories.
- Climbing palm fruit extract. It is a herbal remedy with a powerful anti-inflammatory effect. It also regulates the volume and strength of urination and reduces the unpleasant symptoms that occur when you go to the toilet.
- Bioactive food supplement, contains a complex of proteins and nucleoproteins isolated from the prostate gland of cattle, which influences the metabolism of the prostate, normalizing its work and, consequently, urination.
