The cure for prostatitis in men is found in almost every pharmacy. The choice of types of drugs and tools impresses with its breadth and diversity. However, each of them has its own pharmacological effect on a man's body, so the choice of a specific type should be made exclusively by a specialist, and the drug of choice should be used strictly according to the doctor's prescription.
Pharmacological groups of drugs
The list of drug groups for treating prostate inflammation looks like this:
- Antibiotics. Their action is aimed at eliminating microorganisms that have become causative agents of the disease. All of them are used only when a bacterial infection is known to cause prostatitis. Three main classes of antibiotics are commonly used: penicillins, tetracyclines, and fluoroquinolones.
- Antiviralchildren. They are used when the cause of prostatitis is a viral infection.
- Alpha blockers. They help relax the smooth muscle tissue of the prostate and facilitate the flow of urine to the patient. They can completely suppress the activity of the sympathetic nervous system, which provokes uncontrolled contractions of the smooth muscles of internal organs. There are drugs that specifically affect the sympathetic nervous system, stopping only its effect on the prostate.
- non- steroidaldrugs with anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic effect. Such therapy stops the symptoms of prostate inflammation, reduces the muscle tone of the organ and perineum.
- hormonechildren. They are intended for the treatment of inflammation, reduction of swelling of the organ, normalization of the process of urine secretion.
- Phytotherapeuticdosage forms. Produced using natural herbal ingredients. They are a great way to reduce inflammation, relieve prostate swelling, reduce pain and discomfort.
Types of drugs
Today, in pharmacies, you can buy the following types of drugs, depending on the way and place of exposure:
- Tablets and capsules. The difference between these forms is in their structure - in the first, the consistency is dense, while in the second, the structure consists of a gelatinous shell and the medicine found inside. Both dosage forms are taken orally (by mouth) orally before, during or after meals. Furthermore, some medicines should be washed with a liquid (water);
- Solution for injections (injections). When using this type of therapy, the penetration of the drug into the organ is performed almost immediately. Intramuscular administration is most commonly used, although some solutions are administered intravenously;
- Candles- This is another effective way to treat prostatitis. The advantages of rectal suppositories are that they have both antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. They are inserted directly into the rectum, the patient at this time should be in the supine position and stay in this position for at least another half hour after administration of the drug. During this time, the suppository has time to disperse and be absorbed by the mucosa. The course of treatment is usually 5-10 days;
- instillations. They are used quite rarely and only in the hospital. The reason for this was the method of administration, thanks to which the drug is distributed almost to the focus of inflammation, and therefore the latter passes quickly. The drug is injected through the urethra, i. e. the male penis, using a catheter. This is only possible in stationary conditions and only by experienced medical personnel;
- Microcrystals- This is another type of medicine for treating prostate inflammation. These dosage forms are based on herbal decoction and their main advantage is the anti-inflammatory effect. True, there is one thing, but not all doctors recognize this type of treatment as a complete cure. They consider microcysts one of the alternative medicine tools, suitable only for the prevention of prostatitis in men.
Before making a diagnosis, the doctor prescribes diagnostic tests for the patient and performs an examination.
Depending on the symptoms of the disease, what stage the prostate is in and how far it is going, the type and regimen of treatment is determined. For each form of prostate inflammation, the therapy and medications used will be different. It is important to consider the following factors:
- a man suffers from chronic or acute prostatitis;
- which pathogen provoked the appearance of prostatitis: infection, pathogenic microorganism;
- individual intolerance to certain drugs or their components.
