Problems with prostatitis should not go unnoticed and treated appropriately. The body is not able to cope with such a disease on its own. A set of measures to help with prostate inflammation includes treating prostatitis with pills.
Tablets can have general or targeted effects. It is not worth choosing from a wide range of pharmacies. It is very likely that not only will you not achieve the desired result, but you will also get side effects.
It is more correct to find a doctor who knows prostate health well and follow his instructions. This will save your home budget and enable faster results. Finally, the main feature that distinguishes the treatment of prostatitis with antibiotics and tablets is precisely the responsible and rational approach to the problem.
Taking prostatitis pills
After examining the results of laboratory tests and a direct examination of the prostate (and, perhaps, the entire genitourinary system), the doctor prescribes the appropriate therapy.
An integrated approach is practiced more often. Among the drugs, depending on the stage of development of the disease, may prescribe:
- Painkillers;
- Antispasmodics;
- Anti-inflammatory;
- Antibiotics;
- Antiviral drugs.
- Alpha blockers.
Often a specialist must combine known medications to achieve a result in the shortest possible time. The dosage is chosen individually. This is influenced not only by the results of the clinical examination, but also by age characteristics, lifestyle, ability to undergo inpatient treatment or its absence.
It should be borne in mind that during treatment you should forget about the use of alcoholic beverages. And this is true not only for antibiotics. Any drug, combined with a course of libation treatment, loses its effectiveness and can lead to side effects due to the heavy load on the liver.
Interruption of the course of therapy should not be allowed. The more accurately the doctor's instructions are followed, the more effective the therapy will be. If the patient initially does not have a significant amount of money for treatment, it is necessary to immediately talk to a urologist about the choice of medication.
The modern pharmacological market has a wide range of generic drugs (cheaper analogues of patented drugs), which do not differ in their effectiveness from the advertised tablets.
Popular tablets against prostatitis
- fluoroquinolone-based;
- contains penicillin;
- with macrolides;
- with tetracyclines.
Treatment of prostatitis with tablets
When treating a patient with severe pain symptoms, the doctor will first prescribe analgesics that can soothe the pain. As a rule, these are painkillers. Many of them contribute not only to relieving pain, but also to relieving inflammation. This picture of the term is most often typical for acute prostatitis.
If acute prostatitis is most important and not the result of an untreated chronic form, then anti-inflammatory drugs are fully capable of completely eliminating the disease in its early stages.
They will most likely be prescribed in combination with antibiotics or antiviral agents. However, it is precisely the suppression of the development of the inflammatory process that is the basis for the successful treatment of prostatitis.
Inflammation of the prostate is often accompanied by painful contraction of the muscle tissue that makes up the prostate. In this case, antispasmodic tablets are prescribed. They improve blood circulation and help the muscles relax, which reduces pain.
Note!Problems with urination require medications that reduce the tension of the urethra and bladder. Muscle relaxants have a good effect. They prevent the muscles from contracting painfully and make it much easier to go to the toilet.
The use of alpha-blockers may also be needed to treat chronic prostatitis with tablets. These medications include a long course of administration and are prescribed for difficulty urinating and urinary retention. Such therapy helps control the process of prostate enlargement and significantly reduces the intensity of painful symptoms.
The bacterial form of prostatitis implies the obligatory treatment of prostatitis with tablets that can have a targeted effect on the fight against pathogenic microorganisms.
Antibiotics can be given intramuscularly as inpatient treatment. But they are more often prescribed in the form of tablets for internal use. This is suitable for those who cannot afford long sick leave.
Conclusion
Antibiotics are an integral part of the treatment of acute prostatitis. The chronic process of inflammation of the prostate, caused by a bacterial infection, also includes a course of antibiotic therapy.
