In recent years, the attitude towards the treatment of prostate adenoma and prostatitis has changed significantly. Such a diagnosis is no longer an unequivocal indicator for surgical intervention, drugs turned out to be quite effective. This, of course, significantly prolongs the recovery process, but patients do not have to go through a long recovery period after the operation. The functionality of the prostate is regulated with the help of tablets. Such treatment is designed to help a man cope as much as possible with the worsening symptoms.
As a rule, drugs perfectly cure the initial stage of prostate adenoma and relieve complications in the later stages. This is explained by the fact that drug methods can slow down or completely stop the process of hyperplasia of organ tissues.
Drug treatment of prostate adenoma is not mandatory, so every patient has the right to refuse it, choosing to undergo surgery. Patients are often motivated by the fact that such drugs have many side effects.
If drug treatment is refused, the following complications are likely to arise:
- progression of the disease and aggravation of already manifest symptoms;
- decrease in the quality of vital signs;
- an increase in the need for surgery;
- acute signs of urinary retention.
Modern studies have shown that drugs for the treatment of prostate adenoma and prostatitis have become gentler on the body as a whole and harmful to the focus of inflammation. Now surgery is used only as a last resort, when there are pathological changes in the organ and significant difficulties with urination. Surgery is also unavoidable if the kidneys are injured.
Indications for drug treatment
Drugs to eliminate the symptoms of adenoma and prostatitis are selected in cases where:
- Hyperplasia recurs after planned surgery;
- the patient's age does not allow surgical intervention;
- A man voluntarily writes a cancellation from the operation.
In addition, there are cases in which drug treatment is fundamentally contraindicated, since it cannot provide quick help in an emergency.
medicines for treatment
With an increase in the symptoms of prostate adenoma and prostatitis, a number of drugs are prescribed that can alleviate a man's condition. Most effective in cases with a moderate degree of the disease. All drugs used to treat the prostate can be divided into two main groups:
- alpha-blockers, which have a relaxing effect on the muscles of the prostate;
- Inhibitors reduce the volume of the prostate and slow down or completely stop its further increase.
Combination therapy is also relevant in modern medicine, which is used when there is a significant increase in the volume of the prostate. The combination of drugs avoids surgery. The only drawback of this treatment is the manifestation of side effects from two types of the drug at once. Drugs used to treat the prostate can lower blood pressure, so such drugs are not suitable for patients with hypotension.
Tamusolosin-based drugs are effective drugs used in the treatment of prostatitis and prostate adenoma. They bring quick relief, relieve the first symptoms and help to cope with the main cause of the disease. Also, these drugs show a minimal number of side effects.
When taking drugs based on 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, surgery is avoided.
antibiotic therapy
Antibiotics for adenomas are used only when an acute bacterial infection is associated with them. Antibiotics also help get rid of fever, chills and fever. The general condition is getting better. Inflammation of the prostate perfectly relieve fluoroquinolones.
After antibiotics, treatment with antifungal drugs is often prescribed. This is due to the fact that antibacterial drugs violate the microflora of the body and provoke the reproduction of fungi.
Essential Oils
Often patients try to recover from prostatitis and adenoma on their own, without resorting to medical and surgical methods. Of course, there are folk remedies that can help in this situation. It is worth considering the most effective and commonly used of them. Essential oils, and especially fir oil, will help to relieve the inflammatory process and eliminate the main symptoms of the disease.
To prepare a folk remedy, sea buckthorn and fir oil are mixed in equal parts and moistened with a gauze swab. It is very important not to overdo it with oil. In total, it should not be more than 10 drops per session. The tampon is inserted into the anus and removed only during the next bowel movement. Also in pharmacies you can order the manufacture of candles with fir oil. The duration of treatment is about 25-30 days.
Fir oil is able to kill bacteria, warm up the area of an enlarged organ, and act as an excellent pain reliever.
Candles based on cocoa butter, to which fir oil is added in the amount of 10 drops, are widespread. The drug is also injected into the rectum at night. It reduces pain, inflammation and shrinks the prostate. Sexual functions are restored, the general condition of the body improves. This method has been tested several times and is therefore considered scientifically proven.
In traditional medicine, prostate massage is used with the addition of fir oil. Of course, this procedure is performed only by a qualified doctor. A side effect in the form of burning is possible. In this case, it is better to refuse such treatment and look for an alternative.
In the fight against prostate adenoma and prostatitis, there are many options, the main thing is to undergo an examination and start treatment. There is nothing to worry about here, because it is better to use medicines and folk remedies than to recover after the operation.
