The male genitourinary system is prone to the development of inflammatory processes associated with exposure to tissue tissues of pathogenic microflora. Failure to follow the rules of hygiene, unprotected sex, weakening of immunity, lack of regular sports activities - all these are factors that provoke the development of stagnation and inflammation in the prostate gland.
Symptoms of acute prostatitis are the basis for immediate medical attention, and the chronic form of the disease requires constant monitoring.
Therapy of various forms of prostatitis
To date, doctors use certain treatment regimens for inflammatory prostate disease. The choice of medication depends mainly on the form of prostatitis and the degree of manifestation of its symptoms.
In acute inflammation, fast-acting drugs with antibacterial properties are indicated.
The doctor should prescribe treatment after examination and determination of the type of microorganisms that caused the development of prostatitis. Sometimes, with acute symptoms, antibacterial medications are prescribed immediately when the patient comes in contact. In the future, after receiving the results of a laboratory test, the urologist may prescribe another medicine for prostatitis.
The basis for the appointment of one or another type of antibiotic are the results of microbiological culture.
If the acute form of the disease is treated relatively quickly, then with chronic prostatitis, therapy can last up to six months. Usually the doctor prescribes a whole range of medicines to be taken according to the designed scheme. It is important to remember that the prostate gland in a chronic disease can be constantly inflamed, so patients should visit a doctor regularly and carry out a course of treatment prescribed after a second examination.
Preparations for the treatment of prostatitis are chosen depending on the severity of the signs of the disease and its causes. Inflammation should be treated with medications aimed at reducing symptoms, which usually manifest with problems with urination, pain syndrome and a deterioration in the quality of sex life. If the medication for prostatitis is chosen correctly, the patient after a week notices a decrease in pelvic discomfort and the volume of discharge from the urethra, the normalization of urine flow.
The quick action of the product is not a guarantee for its best effectiveness.
Many medications for prostatitis reduce the manifestations of the disease in a fairly short time, so patients consider them as most effective. In fact, this is not entirely true, as not all medications are able to eliminate the cause of the disease.
The remedy prescribed for prostatitis should be chosen after identifying the provoking factors.
Performing antibiotic therapy
Before using a prostate medicine with antibacterial properties, the patient should undergo an examination, which includes not only an external examination, but also a study of blood, semen, urine, bacterioscopy and a stain from the urethra. The result of the analysis allows the urologist to accurately determine the choice of an antibacterial drug. If several types of germs are detected at the same time, the prescribed course should consist of two or more drugs.
When two antibiotics are prescribed, they can be administered in different ways, for example, in the form of injections and tablets.
With acute prostatitis, antibiotic therapy is mandatory. With mild symptoms of the disease, antibiotics are indicated to prevent infection. The urologist decides which medications the patient should take after receiving a transcript of the tests.
The modern approach to treating acute inflammatory prostate disease involves the use of antibiotics for a week and a half. For the treatment of the chronic form, the scheme is designed for a longer period - about two months.
A medicine that contains levofloxacin in its composition relieves inflammation well. This substance is able to accumulate rapidly in the affected tissues and destroy streptococci and staphylococci. The drug is very effective, but can lead to the development of side effects on the part of the digestive tract and cardiovascular system.
Before starting treatment with the drug, you should carefully study the side effects described in the note and the rules for taking the tablets.
The tablet should be taken only after meals, otherwise irritation of the gastric and intestinal mucosa may occur. If this prostate medicine causes a severe deterioration in well-being, it is best to consult a doctor.
In chronic inflammation of the prostate, a drug that acts on different types of pathogens has a good effect.
Against the background of taking the drug, serious disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, including the liver, may appear, so doctors recommend supplementing the course of treatment with hepatoprotectors. In case of adverse reactions of the body, the urologist changes the scheme according to which prostatitis is treated in men, and the medication is chosen depending on the existing pathologies.
The drug, which belongs to the group of macrolides, is effective against the simplest microorganisms - mycoplasma, ureaplasma, chlamydia.
When chlamydia and mycoplasmosis are detected, drugs from a number of macrolides and cephalosporins are used. The use of the penicillin group is also justified in the treatment of prostate disease.
Anti-inflammatory drugs
After the examination, the doctor decides which anti-inflammatory medication to prescribe to the patient. The active components of the funds help restore the urination process and reduce pain.
For medicines that relieve pain and swelling, you should ask your doctor. In chronic inflammation, a drug is currently being used very successfully, which increases the blood supply to the gland, prevents thrombosis, relieves swelling and improves the urination process. The main component of the drug is the dried bovine prostate. Helps increase strength, normalize microcirculation in the genitals and reduce the symptoms of inflammation. Many new drugs developed for the treatment of prostatitis contain this component of animals with efficacy confirmed by urologists.
As an auxiliary component, the preparation contains the most important trace element for the male body, zinc, which helps restore strength, often reduced in chronic prostatitis. Candles can be used for hemorrhoids and damage to the intestinal mucosa.
Drugs with analgesic effect
The pain that appears during the exacerbations of the disease helps in the removal of drugs with analgesic effect.
The drug NSAID has a good effect, which penetrates quickly into the prostate gland and has an analgesic effect.
In inflammatory processes, accompanied by serious problems with urination, urologists prescribe muscle relaxants, which help to relax the muscle tissues of the prostate and bladder and restore urination. The drug is also used for hypertension, with a tendency to low blood pressure and liver rupture, is contraindicated.
Popular way
Doctors do not deny the effectiveness of folk recipes in the treatment of prostatitis. Various decoctions can be used to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. With heaviness and discomfort in the pelvis are used chamomile, St. John's wort, thyme. It is useful to add honey to the prepared healing drinks.
From decoctions of the same plants, you can make therapeutic enemas, baths. Before the procedure, it is helpful to add 5-8 drops of lavender essential oil or tea tree to the water collected in the container. Sometimes doctors recommend taking baths with coniferous concentrates. With prostate, it is not necessary to allow hypothermia, therefore, while cooling, it is advisable to add hot water to the bath. The duration of the bath is on average 20 minutes.
When the symptoms of prostatitis appear, you can buy candles, which include honey and propolis.
These products are very useful, as they have a pronounced antiseptic effect. Some men make their suppositories using wax and honey.
Various tinctures also have a beneficial effect. They are prepared from plants, aspen bark, propolis. Remember that natural ingredients can cause an allergic reaction. This method of treatment should not be used if the male has a high sensitivity to plants. Honey is also very allergic and should not be used if you are allergic to other bee products. If no such reactions of the organism are observed, honey can be eaten daily in two to three tablespoons.
To remove congestion, doctors recommend prostate massage. This procedure is performed with a finger inserted into the rectum or a special device, the cost of which depends directly on the number of functions. The device can be equipped with a vibrating mechanism. Such an effect is beneficial for swelling and stagnation of prostate secretion in the gland. Any medical procedure should be performed only after a thorough examination and consultation with a urologist.
