Medicines and medications for the treatment of chronic prostatitis

Although the problem of inflammation of the prostate is considered the most serious problem for the male population, medications and medications for the treatment of chronic prostatitis allow you to quickly get rid of this problem. It is worth understanding the types of medications in more detail.

Types of medications for chronic prostatitis

Pharmacies offer the following range of medicines:

1. Oral active ingredients.These include tablets and capsules. They differ only in that the latter have a gelatin shell in which the drug is in powder form, and the tablets are characterized by a dense consistency. Both medications are taken before, during or after meals. Some medications must be taken with water.
2. Injections or solutions for injection.Drugs for chronic prostatitis are administered both intramuscularly and intravenously. This guarantees an immediate effect of the product.
3. Candles.They are taken in a course of 5 to 10 days and also have numerous positive effects. These include pain-relieving, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. Suppositories are only administered in the lateral position; You must lie in this position for another 30 minutes after inserting the suppository. During this time, all substances have time to be absorbed and assimilated.
4. Instillations.This method of treatment is rarely used and is usually only used when the patient is in the hospital. The medicine is injected directly into the urethra using a catheter, which is why this procedure is only carried out by experienced medical personnel.
5. Microclysters.Doctors consider the presented remedy not as a full-fledged drug for treatment, but as a method of prevention. Microclysters contain herbal decoctions that have an anti-inflammatory effect.

These drugs for chronic prostatitis are considered the most important drugs.

In addition, there is another classification of drugs:

1. Etiotropic.This category of medicines fights infections, which are considered the main cause of the disease.
2. Pathogenetic.Reduce congestion in the gland and suppress inflammation.
3. Symptomatic.They are used exclusively to combat symptoms in the event of illness.

Muscle relaxants

Designed to relieve increased muscle tone. A complete cure of prostatitis is not possible with their help; they are used exclusively as additives.

During therapy, drugs are prescribed to improve blood microcirculation in the prostate.

Alpha blockers

Alpha blockers are used when a man experiences discomfort while urinating. This problem often occurs in situations where a young man suffers from prostatitis; He often feels the urge to urinate but cannot empty himself. Only in this case alpha blockers are prescribed.

These drugs have many good reviews and are often recommended for use by doctors.

It is believed that for a permanent result it is necessary to take these drugs for at least 6-12 months. Discontinuing therapy immediately after symptoms have subsided increases the risk of exacerbations.

Antibiotics

Antibiotics are designed to eliminate the cause of prostatitis, but their choice must be approached responsibly. Not all antibiotics can quickly and completely eliminate the cause of the disease.

There are the following groups of antibiotics:

1. Cephalosporins.They serve parenteral effects and have a wide range of applications.
2. Macrolides.They differ in that they are non-toxic and do not affect the intestinal flora. Penetrates well into the prostate tissue. They are reserve antibiotics and are therefore only used when other groups of medications have not worked.
3. Penicillins.They are characterized by a relatively low cost, a convenient form of administration and high efficiency. As a rule, they are used in cases of intolerance to fluoroquinolones or in the presence of chronic multi-organ diseases.
4. Fluoroquinolones.They have been proven to be effective and are well absorbed by the prostate tissue.
5. Tetracyclines.They have negative properties, which include a negative effect on the digestive tract.

Anti-inflammatory drugs

Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate that progresses if left untreated. Relieving inflammation can help eliminate the unpleasant symptoms of the disease.

It is important to remember that the use of each drug and its dosage must be adjusted by the doctor depending on the patient's condition and symptoms.

Steroids

Steroid medications are only used when nonsteroidal treatment does not help.

It is important to note that steroid medications significantly suppress the immune system and therefore cannot be prescribed if the patient has HIV or other immune deficiency.

Nonsteroidal

Nonsteroidal medications have few side effects and are highly effective.

It is important to understand that they are recommended to be taken exclusively during the acute phase of the disease, within a period of 5 to 7 days, no more.

Caution should be exercised if the patient experiences an exacerbation of gastrointestinal disorders.

Local remedies

Topical remedies are a category of medications that are particularly commonly used for prostate dysfunction. For the acute form of prostatitis, ointments and suppositories are most often used; for the chronic form of the disease, the following substances are prescribed:

1. A drug based on prostate extract improves urine excretion and also has a positive effect on metabolic processes in the body.
2. Morpholinium methyl triazolyl thioacetate. Improves the regeneration processes in the prostate.
3. Propolis. Strengthens the immune system, reduces inflammation. It is a natural beekeeping product.
4. Ammonium bitumen sulfonate. Has a local anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effect.
5. However, propolis-based candles contain other additives: wax, honey and royal jelly.
6. Sea buckthorn oil. Caution is advised, as in some cases the product can cause an unpleasant reaction in the form of a burning sensation in the rectum. Has an enhanced anti-inflammatory effect.
7. In the ointment category there is a camphor-based product that is prescribed to drain urine and secretions. Administration is rectal using an applicator.
8. We must not forget about the suppositories, which are prescribed not only in the chronic course of the disease, but also after operations.

Principles of correct drug treatment

First of all, it is better to entrust your own health to a doctor who will help you plan your treatment. This does not necessarily mean that the therapy will be expensive; on the contrary, correctly selected cheap drugs will be no less effective than expensive ones.

The principles of proper treatment are as follows:

1. First of all, examinations are carried out during which it is necessary to determine what type of microflora causes prostatitis.
2. A study of sensitivity to certain groups of drugs is currently being conducted. A correctly selected medication is already half the success of treatment.
3. For the further course of treatment, not only the most effective, but also the safest means is selected.
4. Based on the tests, as well as the characteristics of the patient's body, the treatment method and its dosage are selected. It is strongly not recommended to self-prescribe medications, especially if they are suppositories.
5. Once the course is prescribed, it must begin on the same day. The course is selected based on the patient's well-being and must be strictly adhered to. Deviations from the medication plan are prohibited as they can slow progress or even cause a reverse process.
6. During treatment, you should also not forget to carry out examinations and tests in a timely manner. This is only necessary so that you can observe the dynamics of the disease and adjust the medication intake.

We must not forget that the fastest results can only be achieved with complex treatment. The course must also include special massages or baths.

It is important to note that performing a massage on your own using video tutorials or written manuals is categorically not recommended, as in most cases this will only lead to a worsening of the patient's condition. Massages must be carried out by specialists.

The treatment regimen and duration of treatment depend solely on the body of the individual patient. However, in any case, it is recommended to start treatment as soon as possible, before the disease actively progresses.

During the treatment process, we must also not forget that in addition to complex treatment, we also need to think about non-drug therapy methods. This includes proper nutrition and exercise. There are also physiotherapeutic procedures and prostate massages, without which the treatment cannot be considered complete.

In addition, the following recommendations should be observed:

1. Watch for hypothermia, especially on the feet, lower back, scrotum, and penis.
2. Avoid high temperatures as they can accelerate the spread of infections and bacteria in the body.
3. Quit alcohol and smoking.
4. Pay attention to proper nutrition. The diet should be balanced and healthy.

Contraindications to drug therapy

There are a number of contraindications to drug therapy that must be taken into account when choosing treatment and reported to the doctor.

1. Antibiotic intolerance.Each organism has its own characteristics. So if someone from the environment calmly tolerates a particular antibiotic, this does not mean that your body will react in the same way.
2. Concomitant diseases.These include liver and kidney disease as well as diabetes. For such diseases, you have to be particularly careful when choosing the right medication.
3. Allergic reaction.The tests must check whether the medication causes an allergic reaction. If this is the case, it can only worsen the patient's condition. It should be noted that an allergic reaction can occur not only to one drug, but also to several classes of substances.
4. It is also important to change medications throughout multiple treatment cycles.If the drug helped last time, this time it will have to be replaced with another one, otherwise the treatment may not be effective enough.

There are also certain contraindications to physiotherapy that must be taken into account:

• Epilepsy;
• high body temperature, over 38, if accompanied by fever;
• kidney failure;
• cardiovascular diseases;
• dysfunction of the respiratory system;
• the presence of malignant tumors – this can lead to accelerated growth of cancer cells and then a deterioration in the patient's well-being;
• Anemia or bleeding tendency.

Physiotherapy can only be carried out if the disease is in the chronic stage and there is no purulent discharge.

With this form of prostatitis, it should not occur separately, but simultaneously with modern drug treatment.
