Today, modern medicine can offer drugs with a wide variety of therapeutic effects for the treatment of a disease called prostatitis. If we talk about even the most complex and serious manifestations of this disease, they can be cured if you follow all the doctor's prescriptions and undertake comprehensive treatment.
Prostatitis– the most common urological disease, which is an inflammatory process in the prostate gland. According to statistics, approximately 3 out of 5 men between the ages of 20 and 50 suffer from prostatitis. Even starting from the age of 16-18, you can get this disease, for example, with banal hypothermia of the pelvic area. Complications of advanced forms of this disease are impotence, infertility, inflammatory diseases of other organs of the genitourinary system and prostate cancer.
Since the reasons for the development of prostatitis are many, it is impossible to single out the most effective treatment for prostatitis.
In the presence of infectious and non-infectious forms of the inflammatory process, a wide variety of types of drugs or their complex combinations are used. The choice of drugs is particularly influenced by the patient's general condition, the presence of concomitant pathologies and complications.
Types of therapeutic treatment depending on the form of the disease
Drugs for the treatment of prostatitis are available in a wide variety of dosage forms. These medications can be in the form of tablets, capsules, injections, and rectal suppositories. Using these drugs in combination, you can achieve a faster positive result and almost complete recovery.
The complex of therapeutic procedures includes antibacterial therapy, prostate massage, immunostimulation and physiotherapy. Correction of the patient's lifestyle plays a huge role in the treatment of prostate diseases.
Recently, traditional medicine has recognized traditional methods of combating prostatitis. Some medicinal preparations can be purchased ready-made at the pharmacy, while others can be collected and prepared independently. This herbal collection includes anti-inflammatory, diuretic, relaxing, and soothing herbs; this treatment can be used in addition to the main treatment course after consultation with a qualified specialist.
Treatment of the acute form
The acute form of prostatitis is caused by various pathogenic bacteria and microorganisms. The main symptoms of this disease include general intoxication of the body, high body temperature and chills. Very often pain is felt in the groin area and lower back and there is an increased urge to urinate. The urination process is quite painful and is accompanied by the release of pus from the urethra.
Treatment of acute conditions– the use of drugs for prostatitis such as antibiotics. They have a fairly broad spectral activity and are able to penetrate prostate tissue. The most common types are macrolides, cephalosporins, protected penicillins, and fluoroquinolones.
The choice of an effective drug always depends on the type of microorganisms and their sensitivity to a particular type of antibiotic. The treatment is mainly outpatient; in particularly advanced cases, with severe intoxication, urgent hospitalization is indicated; in the presence of serious complications, surgery is recommended.
Chronic phase
Chronic inflammation of the gland is the result of an acute phase suffered without adequate treatment or an acute course of the disease that is not completely healed. Characteristic symptoms are uncomfortable pain in the genital area, perineum or rectum. You may experience a burning sensation when urinating, worsening sleep, and irritability. Complications of the chronic course are male infertility, erectile dysfunction, inflammatory process of the pelvic organs.
Treatment should be outpatient, but requires a longer period than the acute form. Drugs for the treatment of the chronic form must be selected by a specialist strictly individually; the choice of necessary drugs depends on the quality of the previous treatment and the sensitivity of the bacterial agents. In addition to antibiotics, immunomodulators, analgesics, physiotherapeutic procedures and prostate massage are used.
At this stage, drugs such as rectal suppositories (suppositories) have found widespread use. They effectively combat swelling of the gland, increase local immunity, improve blood microcirculation and inhibit pathogenic microorganisms. The most popular preparations are products based on an extract of the prostate gland tissue of bulls.
Very often, cases such as asymptomatic chronic prostatitis can be observed, which has no obvious signs and manifests itself latently in the body. The treating specialist knows which medicine to take in this case, but very often drugs with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects are recommended.
Preventive measures
After a course of antibiotic therapy for acute prostatitis, it is necessary to take drugs aimed at combating relapses and preventing chronicity.
For this purpose, herbal preparations and immunocorrectors are prescribed. Prostate massage is quite effective as a preventative treatment.
Also, you should change your lifestyle and exercise more often. Special gymnastics methods have been developed, designed to improve the functioning of the prostate gland and other organs of the genitourinary system. It is important to have a regular sexual partner and lead a normal sex life.
The treatment of the acute and especially chronic stages of prostate inflammation is a rather long and economically expensive process. It is often not possible to cure it completely; the use of drugs only helps to relieve symptoms and improve the patient's well-being. Therefore, the best treatment for prostatitis is timely preventive measures.
New treatment methods
Modern methods of treatment do not stand still. Periodically, more and more new drugs for inflammation of the prostate gland are developed. These include adrenergic blockers, they relieve spasms in the bladder, sphincter and the prostate itself, this promotes the free release of secretions from the glands and also prevents congestion and swelling.
Sometimes female hormones are used to treat inflammatory processes in the prostate gland. They reduce the inflammatory process and can cure it in combination with other drugs.
To quickly achieve the desired effect from the treatment of any form of prostatitis, drugs should be prescribed exclusively by a urologist-andrologist specialist. After studying the patient's condition and passing all tests, identifying all possible concomitant diseases and complications, the specialist will create an individual physiotherapeutic and medicinal complex. Only compliance with all the recommendations of the specialist allows patients to achieve full recovery.
