Prostatitis is a common condition in men. Young people between the ages of 20 and 50 are at risk. The risk of developing prostatitis increases from the moment you start an active sex life. After all, one of the causes of prostatitis is sexually transmitted diseases, infections of the genitourinary system. Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate. This disease requires immediate treatment. Because inflammation is usually diagnosed in an acute form. In addition, prostatitis entails many complications and unpleasant consequences. Therefore, it is so important to choose the most effective drug for prostatitis. This should only be done by a doctor after an examination.
Prostatitis - what is it?
As already mentioned, prostatitis is an inflammatory process in the prostate. The canals and urethra also become inflamed. Without timely treatment, complications up to prostate cancer, adenoma, impotence, infertility and narrowing of the urethra can occur. With such complications, it is almost impossible to restore the full functioning of the prostate.
Bacterial prostatitis often develops. It is caused by many bacteria that can be sexually transmitted. Therefore, in order to maintain your manly health, you must avoid promiscuity. Bacterial inflammation of the prostate can also occur against the background of hypothermia, other infectious and viral diseases.
Nonbacterial prostatitis is also often diagnosed. The causes of this inflammation can be the following factors:
- stagnation in the pelvic organs;
- capillary congestion;
- low immunity;
- nervous tension;
- Congenital anomalies in the development of the pelvic organs;
- Sedentary lifestyle, sedentary work;
- lack of moderate physical activity;
- Regular heavy lifting
- hormonal disorders;
- Injuries to the pelvic organs.
It is worth noting that timely treatment guarantees a full recovery of the patient. If prostatitis is detected already at the stage of active development, then there is a risk that the disease will become chronic. Therefore, every man should know about the first manifestations of prostate inflammation. The frequent urge to go to the toilet is therefore remarkable. If a young man goes to the toilet more than twice at night, you can suspect the onset of prostatitis. In this case, urination is painful and intermittent. And the bladder does not empty completely.
The inflammatory process of the prostate is always accompanied by pain. The pain extends to the perineum, testicles, anus, rectum, back, legs, lower back, and lower abdomen. Sometimes there is pain with bowel movements. Rarely do patients complain of chills and fever. But that can also be the case. In this regard, the man develops increased fatigue, irritability.
Inflammation of the prostate has a detrimental effect on male potency. Due to blockage of the ducts, narrowing of the duct, there is insufficient sperm production by the testicles. In addition, over time, potency decreases, an insufficient erection develops. A sign of prostatitis can be premature ejaculation or its complete absence, the complete absence of orgasm.
What are the treatments for prostatitis?
The choice of treatment for prostatitis also involves the right choice of medication. Depending on the severity of the course of the disease, its stage and form, different drugs are selected. So, there are such forms of prostate inflammation: bacterial, acute, nonbacterial, chronic, asymptomatic. For example, acute and chronic prostatitis are treated with radically different drugs.
Diagnosis plays an important role in drug selection. Only after the results obtained can the doctor prescribe the most effective drugs for prostatitis. With each form of the disease, tablets differ in the speed of action. They are assigned anyway. Such drugs can be natural, antibiotics, painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs. Such drugs have a wide spectrum of action. This group of drugs can be divided into the following classes: fluoroquinolones, penicillin class, tetracyclines.
Other therapies include:
- candles. Rectal suppositories have an analgesic and antibacterial effect.
- injections. The drug penetrates the body very quickly, which quickly stimulates the work of the vascular and immune systems.
- instill. The medicine is injected through the urethra directly into the prostate.
- microclysters. Various drugs are used in the form of decoctions and infusions of medicinal herbs.
For a speedy recovery, it is customary to conduct complex therapy. Therefore, it is customary to use such drugs against prostatitis at the same time: tablets, suppositories, injections. After recovery, men are recommended to increase immunity. In addition to medication, urologists recommend physical therapy and prostate massage. Such manipulations will quickly free the male body from stagnation in the prostate and improve blood flow to the prostate gland.
Antibiotics for prostatitis
These drugs are always prescribed for bacterial prostatitis. First, the type of bacteria that caused the disease is determined. Be sure to culture the bacteria to determine the resistance of the microorganism to the antibiotic. After all, if the drug is not prescribed correctly, then prostatitis will continue to develop. Today, fluoroquinolones are very popular and highly effective. These drugs are used to treat chronic prostatitis.
Tetracyclines are being used less and less to treat the prostate. This is because such drugs are very difficult to tolerate by the body and can provoke diseases of other systems and organs. Preparations of the penicillin group are widely used. They have a good antibacterial effect.
Painkillers for prostatitis
Painkillers are prescribed for any form of prostatitis. They will help in the shortest possible time to stop the pain syndrome and alleviate the patient's condition. With chronic prostatitis, such drugs are necessary. For repeated flare-ups, painkillers quickly relieve discomfort in the scrotum, perineum, and testicles. Urination becomes painless.
To eliminate the pain syndrome, rectal suppositories are most often prescribed. This is explained by the fact that candles have a quick and direct effect on the prostate. When injected into the rectum, the suppository dissolves immediately, the active substance is quickly absorbed into the general bloodstream. In this way, the pain is significantly reduced just 5-10 minutes after the injection. It is very important to administer the medicine correctly. The man should lie on his stomach and not get up for at least half an hour after the introduction. During this time, the drug completely dissolves and begins to exert its analgesic effect.
Numbing suppositories are very popular and highly effective in treating prostatitis.
Painkillers are not so popular among specialists. But, but men prefer them. They do not differ in speed. In order for such a drug to have its effect, it is necessary to complete the entire course of treatment. Pain relief only occurs 30-40 minutes after application. Under the influence of such drugs, smooth muscle relaxation is observed, which eliminates spasms and pain.
herbal remedies for prostatitis
Modern methods of treating prostatitis in men include the use of herbal medicines. The composition of such preparations includes only herbal ingredients. There are no side effects from these drugs. However, among the contraindications, it is worth mentioning only the individual intolerance of the individual components of the remedy. Treatment of the prostate with herbal medicines takes a little longer than with synthetic medicines. After all, it is necessary for the substance to accumulate in the body. But a positive result is guaranteed.
Herbal substances are used in the treatment of both acute and chronic prostatitis. Since the symptoms of chronic prostatitis are intermittent, frequent use of antibiotics can have a detrimental effect on the entire body. Therefore, natural remedies for chronic prostatitis are the best option.
Other medicines used to treat the prostate
In the complex treatment of the prostate, other drugs are also used. If the prostatitis is viral in nature, the doctor prescribes antiviral drugs. Often these drugs complement a complex treatment. Antiviral drugs have a detrimental effect on viruses and have an immunomodulatory effect.
A new drug for the treatment of prostate inflammation is a drug that belongs to the group of bioregulatory peptides. The action of the drug is aimed at stimulating the independent regeneration of the prostate. Also, under the influence of the drug, the body itself begins to regulate metabolic processes in the tissues and cells of the prostate. Thus, the rapid elimination of inflammation, pain relief is not observed.
Antiandrogenic drugs help eliminate the inflammatory process in bacterial prostatitis. You can reduce pressure in the urethra, eliminate spasms of the prostate and bladder with alpha-blockers. Such drugs increase urination, normalize blood flow in the pelvic organs. This is very important if, as a result of prostatitis, a man began to complain of erectile dysfunction.
As you can see, there are many medications used to treat the prostate. It is very important to detect the problem early. All drugs to eliminate the inflammatory process in the prostate are prescribed only by a doctor after a comprehensive examination of the patient. And complex therapy will permanently eliminate the signs of prostatitis.
