The expediency of prescribing these drugs for the treatment of a latent form is determined by the test results. The presence of bacterial flora can be shown by a hanging number of leukocytes and identification of microorganisms in the secretion of the gland or in pyospermia. The choice of antibiotics for prostatitis is made after examination of secretion or seminal fluid
Features of choice
Various antibiotics are used to treat inflammation in men. When choosing, it is important to give preference to those that have the ability to accumulate in the tissues of the gland. This is the main criterion for choosing treatment for prostatitis. For this purpose, fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, macrolides, etc. are prescribed.
To choose antibiotics wisely, it is important to consult a doctor. In this situation, if bacterial flora is suspected, an analysis is performed to identify the type of pathogen. At the same time, its sensitivity to existing active substances is determined. Only on this basis is preference given to one or another drug.
It is important to note that the symptoms of chronic prostatitis are usually mild. For this reason, the patient and the doctor have the opportunity to wait for the results of the study and choose an antibiotic that will have a guaranteed effect. Antibiotics should only be prescribed by a doctor and after conducting the necessary tests.
Fluoroquinolones for prostatitis
These antibiotics have many advantages:
- quickly achieve high concentrations in tissues;
- minimal number of side effects;
- effectiveness of both oral and parenteral forms;
- excellent bioavailability.
An important feature is that drugs from this group have a long-lasting effect. After ingestion, the active substance is released within 24 hours. For this reason, the concentration of the substance is maintained until the next dose.
Synthetic antibacterial drugs with a broad spectrum of action are especially often used for treatment. They show the most pronounced effect in the presence of intracellular infection. In addition, this particular group of drugs should be prescribed for prostatitis, which occurs as a complication of a sexually transmitted disease. Medicines from the fluoroquinolone group have almost no side effects and are well absorbed
All fluoroquinolones without exception show high effectiveness in the treatment of typical infections. The only drawback is neurotoxicity. Medicines are used only after excluding the presence of tuberculosis from any localization.
Prostatitis and choice of antibiotics for its treatment
The dosage directly depends on the name of the drug and the concentration of the active substance. Fluoroquinolones are usually taken at 500-1000 milligrams per day.
Tetracycline drugs
Quite often, a synthetic antibacterial agent is prescribed for the treatment of a disease, the main characteristic of the drug is its ability to penetrate the tissue of the gland, accumulating in maximum quantities. In addition, such drugs are affordable and available in a wide variety of release forms.
Antibacterial drugs are ineffective against some enterococci. For this reason, they are prescribed only after determining the sensitivity.
To treat the pathology, the antibiotic is prescribed in the amount of two tablets per day. The duration of therapy is determined individually.
The drug can be prescribed after a sensitivity test.
Tetracycline antibiotics are effective against mycoplasma, chlamydia and other infections. They are easily tolerated and have high activity. It is used in a dose of no more than two hundred milligrams per day.
Along with well-known drugs, macrolides are used. Use 500-1000 milligrams per day. As a rule, the maximum dose is used within three days after the start of treatment. The number of tablets is then halved.
When using macrolides, it is important to keep in mind that these drugs have not been fully studied. At the same time, it is known that they are low-toxic, quickly accumulate in the tissues of the gland and effectively deal with a large number of bacteria.
Medicines from other groups
To treat inflammation, you can use a combined kit containing an antifungal drug, an antibiotic, and an antibacterial drug with antiprotozoal activity. This drug is very important for men and has also shown high effectiveness in the treatment of prostatitis. One blister contains from 6 to 15 tablets of various medicines. They are selected in a daily dose and taken at the same time.
The antifungal agent is effective against most pathogens of prostatitis
This composition allows to eliminate inflammation when identifying pathogens such as Trichomonas, anaerobes, Gardinella, mycoplasma, etc. But what is particularly useful is that this antibiotic is effective in the presence of Candida fungi.
According to the requirements of the WHO, it is an ideal drug for the treatment of prostatitis. When used, the effectiveness reaches 95% even in the presence of advanced prostatitis with a stable microflora. At the same time, the antibiotic has minimal toxicity, is easily tolerated, is easy to use due to a single dose, and also causes a minimal degree of resistance to microorganisms.
Indications for the use of such an antibiotic are uncomplicated prostatitis, inflammation caused by STIs, as well as a combination of prostatitis with urethritis. In the absence of pronounced symptoms, one application is sufficient. In men with frequent relapses, a course of five days at the full dose is necessary.
Standards of treatment
Specialists from a large number of countries are working on the creation of an effective method for the treatment of recurrent prostatitis. Most tend to believe that in men the duration of treatment should be at least two weeks. The patient's condition and test results are then assessed. As a rule, therapy continues after that. In general, the course should be at least 4-6 weeks.
To cope with prostatitis, you must adhere to the prescribed regimen and course of treatment.
In the chronic form of prostatitis, antibiotics in tablets and capsules are preferred. In this case, the dose should be as high as possible. This is the only way to achieve lasting results.
The latent form of prostatitis is considered separately. In most cases, laboratory analysis does not detect bacterial flora, but this does not guarantee its absence. It is this that explains the fact that with the use of antibiotics in men, the pain syndrome in the pelvis is eliminated and the general condition improves.
At the same time, it is important to remember that it is simply impossible to create a specific treatment regimen for the disease. This is explained by the individual characteristics of patients and the variety of forms of pathology. That is why you should not take antibiotics yourself that have shown excellent results in other men. Only a doctor can choose the most appropriate treatment option in your particular case.
