The advisability of prescribing these drugs for the treatment of the latent form is determined by the test results. The presence of bacterial flora may be indicated by the suspended number of leukocytes and the identification of microorganisms in the gland secretion or pyospermia. The choice of antibiotics for prostatitis is made after analyzing the secretions or sperm
Features of choice
Various antibiotics are used to treat inflammation in men. When choosing, it is important to give preference to those that have the ability to accumulate in the gland tissues. This is the main selection criterion for the treatment of prostatitis. For this purpose, fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, macrolides and so on are prescribed.
To choose antibiotics wisely, it is important to consult a doctor. In this situation, if bacterial flora is suspected, an analysis is performed to identify the type of pathogen. At the same time, its sensitivity to existing active ingredients is determined. Only on this basis is preference given to one or another drug.
It is important to note that the symptoms of chronic prostatitis are usually mild. For this reason, the patient and the doctor have the option to wait for the test results and choose an antibiotic that will have a guaranteed effect. Antibiotics should be prescribed only by a doctor and after conducting the necessary research.
Fluoroquinolones for prostatitis
These antibiotics have many advantages:
- rapid achievement of high concentrations in tissues;
- minimum number of side effects;
- efficacy of both oral and parenteral forms;
- excellent bioavailability.
An important feature is that drugs from this group have a prolonged effect. After ingestion, the active ingredient is released within 24 hours. For this reason the concentration of the substance is maintained until the next dose.
Synthetic broad-spectrum antibacterial drugs are often used for treatment. They show the most pronounced effect in the presence of intracellular infection. Also, this particular group of drugs should be prescribed for prostatitis that occurs as a complication of a sexually transmitted disease. The fluoroquinolone group of drugs has almost no side effects and is well absorbed
All fluoroquinolones, without exception, show high efficacy in the treatment of typical infections. The only downside is neurotoxicity. The drugs are used only after excluding the presence of tuberculosis of any localization.
Prostatitis and choice of antibiotics for its treatment
The dosage directly depends on the name of the drug and the concentration of the active ingredient. In general, fluoroquinolones are taken at a dose of 500-1000 milligrams per day.
Tetracycline drugs
Very often, to treat a disease, a synthetic antibacterial agent is prescribed, the main feature of the drug is its ability to penetrate the glandular tissue, accumulating in the maximum quantity. In addition, such drugs are convenient and available in a wide choice of release forms.
Antibacterial drugs are ineffective against some enterococci. For this reason they are prescribed only after determining sensitivity.
To treat the pathology, the antibiotic is prescribed in the amount of two tablets per day. The duration of therapy is determined individually.
The drug can be prescribed after a sensitivity test.
Tetracycline antibiotics are effective against mycoplasmas, chlamydia, and other infections. They are easily tolerated and have high activity. Used in a dosage of no more than two hundred milligrams per day.
Along with known drugs, macrolides are used. Use 500-1000 milligrams per day. As a rule, the maximum dosage is used within three days of starting treatment. Then the number of tablets is reduced by half.
When using macrolides, it is important to consider that these drugs have not been fully studied. At the same time, it is known that they are little toxic, quickly accumulate in the gland tissues and effectively cope with a large number of bacteria.
Drugs from other groups
To treat inflammation, a combination kit containing an antifungal drug, an antibiotic and an antibacterial drug with antiprotozoal activity can be used. This drug is very important for men and has shown high effectiveness even in the treatment of prostatitis. One blister contains 6 to 15 tablets of different drugs. They are selected in the daily dosage and taken all at the same time.
The antifungal agent is effective against most prostatitis pathogens
This composition allows you to eliminate inflammation when identifying pathogens such as Trichomonas, anaerobes, Gardinella, mycoplasma and so on. But what is especially advantageous is that this antibiotic is effective in the presence of Candida fungi.
According to the requirements of the WHO, this is an ideal drug for the treatment of prostatitis. When used, the effectiveness reaches 95% even in the presence of advanced prostatitis with stable microflora. At the same time, the antibiotic has minimal toxicity, is easily tolerated, is easy to use thanks to a single dosage, and also causes a minimal degree of resistance in microorganisms.
Indications for the use of such an antibiotic are uncomplicated prostatitis, inflammation caused by sexually transmitted diseases and a combination of prostatitis with urethritis. In the absence of pronounced symptoms, a single application is sufficient. In men with frequent relapses, a five-day course at full dosage is necessary.
Treatment standards
Specialists from a large number of countries are working to create an effective method for treating recurrent prostatitis. Most are inclined to believe that in men the duration of treatment should be at least two weeks. The patient's condition and test results are then evaluated. As a rule, therapy continues afterwards. In general, the course should last at least 4-6 weeks.
To cope with prostatitis, it is necessary to adhere to the prescribed regimen and course of therapy.
In the chronic form of prostatitis, antibiotics in tablets and capsules are preferred. In this case, the dosage should be as high as possible. This is the only way to achieve lasting results.
The latent form of prostatitis is considered separately. In most cases, laboratory analyzes do not detect bacterial flora, but this does not guarantee its absence. This is exactly what explains the fact that when using antibiotics in men, pelvic pain syndrome is eliminated and the general condition improves.
At the same time, it is important to remember that it is simply impossible to create a specific treatment regimen for the disease. This is explained by the individual characteristics of patients and the variety of forms of pathology. This is why you should not take antibiotics yourself, which have shown excellent results on other men. Only a doctor can choose the most appropriate treatment option in your particular case.
