Today, modern medicine can offer drugs with a wide variety of therapeutic effects for the treatment of a disease called prostatitis. If we talk about even the most complex and severe manifestations of this disease, they can be cured if you follow all the doctor's prescriptions and engage in comprehensive treatment.
prostatitis– the most common urological disease, which is an inflammatory process in the prostate gland. According to statistics, approximately 3 out of 5 men aged 20 to 50 suffer from prostatitis. Even from the age of 16-18, you can catch this disease, for example, with banal hypothermia of the pelvic area. Complications of advanced forms of this disease are impotence, infertility, inflammatory diseases of other organs of the genitourinary system, as well as prostate cancer.
Since there are many reasons for the development of prostatitis, it is not possible to choose the most effective remedy for prostatitis.
In the presence of infectious and non-infectious forms of the inflammatory process, a wide variety of types of drugs or their complex combinations are used. The choice of drugs is particularly influenced by the general condition of the patient, the presence of concomitant diseases and complications.
Types of therapeutic treatment depending on the form of the disease
Medicines for the treatment of prostatitis are available in a wide variety of pharmaceutical forms. These drugs can be in the form of tablets, capsules, injections and rectal suppositories. Using these drugs in combination, you can get a faster positive result and almost complete recovery.
The complex of treatment procedures includes antibacterial therapy, prostate massage, immunostimulation and physiotherapy. Adjusting the patient's lifestyle plays a huge role in the treatment of prostate diseases.
More recently, traditional medicine has recognized traditional methods of combating prostatitis. Some medicinal preparations can be purchased ready-made at the pharmacy, while others can be collected and prepared independently. This herbal collection includes anti-inflammatory, diuretic, relaxing and soothing herbs, and this treatment can be used as an adjunct to the main course of treatment after consultation with a qualified specialist.
Treatment of acute form
The acute form of prostatitis is caused by various bacteria and pathogenic microorganisms. The main symptoms of this disease include general intoxication of the body, increased body temperature and chills. Quite often there is pain in the groin and lower back and there is an increased urge to urinate. The process of urination is quite painful and is accompanied by the release of pus from the urethra.
Treatment of acute conditions- the use of drugs for prostatitis such as antibiotics. They have a fairly wide spectrum of activity and are able to penetrate the prostate tissue. The most common types are macrolides, cephalosporins, protected penicillins and fluoroquinolones.
The choice of an effective drug always depends on the type of microorganisms and their sensitivity to a certain type of antibiotic. Treatment is mostly outpatient; in particularly advanced cases with severe intoxication, emergency hospitalization is indicated; in the presence of serious complications, surgical intervention is recommended.
Chronic stage
Chronic inflammation of the gland is the result of an acute phase experienced without appropriate treatment or an incompletely cured acute course of the disease. Characteristic symptoms are excruciating pain in the genital area, perineum or rectum. There may be a burning sensation during urination, sleep disturbance and irritability. Complications of the chronic course are male infertility, erectile dysfunction, inflammatory process of the pelvic organs.
Treatment should be outpatient, but takes a longer period than in the acute form. Medicines for the treatment of a chronic form must be chosen by a specialist strictly individually, the choice of the necessary medicines depends on the quality of the previous treatment and the sensitivity of the bacterial agents. In addition to antibiotics, immunomodulators, analgesics, physiotherapy procedures and prostate massage are used.
At this stage, drugs such as rectal suppositories (suppositories) have found wide use. They effectively fight swelling of the gland, increase local immunity, improve blood microcirculation and inhibit pathogenic microorganisms. The most popular preparations are products based on an extract from the tissue of the prostate gland of bulls.
Quite often, cases such as asymptomatic chronic prostatitis, which have no obvious signs and appear latently in the body, can be observed. The treating specialist knows what drug to take in this case, but drugs with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects are most often recommended.
Precautions
After a course of antibiotic therapy for acute prostatitis, you should take drugs aimed at combating relapses and preventing chronification.
Herbal preparations and immunocorrectors are prescribed for this purpose. Prostate massage is quite effective as a preventative treatment.
You should also adjust your lifestyle and exercise more often. Methods of special gymnastics have been developed, which are designed to improve the functioning of the prostate gland and other organs of the genitourinary system. It is important to have a regular sexual partner and to have a normal sex life.
Treatment of the acute and especially chronic stages of inflammation of the prostate gland is a rather long and financially expensive process. Often it is not possible to cure it completely, the use of drugs only helps to relieve symptoms and improve the patient's well-being. That is why the best treatment for prostatitis is a timely preventive measure.
New methods of treatment
Modern methods of treatment do not stand still. Periodically, more and more new drugs are developed for inflammation of the prostate gland. These include adrenergic blockers, they relieve spasms in the bladder, sphincter and prostate itself, this promotes the free release of glandular secretions and also prevents congestion and swelling.
Sometimes female hormones are used to treat inflammatory processes in the prostate gland. They reduce the inflammation process and can cure it in combination with other drugs.
To quickly achieve the desired effect of the treatment of any form of prostatitis, drugs should be prescribed exclusively by a specialist urologist-andrologist. After examining the patient's condition and passing all tests, identifying all possible concomitant diseases and complications, the specialist will create an individual physiotherapy and treatment complex. Only compliance with all the specialist's recommendations allows patients to achieve full recovery.
