In addition, prostatitis carries a lot of complications and unpleasant consequences. Therefore, it is very important to choose the most effective remedy for prostatitis. This should only be done by a doctor after the examination.
Prostatitis - what is it?
As already mentioned, prostatitis is an inflammatory process in the prostate. The ducts and urethra also become inflamed. In the absence of timely treatment, complications can occur, all the way to prostate cancer, adenoma, impotence, infertility, narrowing of the urethra. With such complications, it is almost impossible to restore full prostate function.
Bacterial prostatitis often develops. It is caused by many bacteria that can be sexually transmitted. Therefore, in order to maintain your male health, you must avoid promiscuity. Bacterial inflammation of the prostate can also occur in 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 blood stasis;
- Low immunity;
- Nervous tension;
- Congenital anomalies in the development of pelvic organs;
- Sedentary lifestyle, sedentary work;
- Lack of moderate physical activity;
- Regular lifting of heavy loads
- Hormonal disorders;
- Pelvic injuries.
It is important to note that timely treatment guarantees complete recovery of the patient. If prostatitis is detected already in the phase of active development, there is a risk that the disease will become chronic. Therefore, every man should know the first manifestations of prostate inflammation. So, it is worth noting the frequent need for a toilet. If a young man goes to the toilet more than twice a night, you can suspect the appearance of prostatitis. In this case, urination is painful, 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, lower abdomen. Sometimes pain occurs during bowel movements. Rarely do patients complain of chills and fever. But this can also be. In this regard, the man develops increased fatigue, irritability.
Inflammation of the prostate has a detrimental effect on male potency. Due to the obstruction of the canal, the narrowing of the canal, there is insufficient production of sperm by the testicles. Also, over time, potency decreases, insufficient erections develop. A sign of prostatitis may be premature ejaculation, or its complete absence, complete absence of orgasm.
What are the treatments for prostatitis?
Choosing a treatment for prostatitis also means choosing the right medicine. Depending on the severity of the disease, its stage and form, different drugs are selected. Thus, there are such forms of inflammation of the prostate: 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 obtained results, the doctor can prescribe the most effective medicines for prostatitis. In any form of the disease, the tablets differ in their speed of action. They are assigned anyway. Such drugs can be natural, antibiotics, painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs. Such drugs have a wide range of action. This group of drugs can be divided into the following classes: fluoroquinolones, penicillin class, tetracyclines.
Other therapies include:
- Candles. Rectal suppositories have analgesic and antibacterial effect.
- Injections. The drug penetrates the body very quickly, which quickly stimulates the work of the vascular and immune systems.
- Instillation. The drug is injected directly into the prostate through the urethra.
- microclysters. Various medicines are used in the form of decoctions and infusions of medicinal herbs.
For a quick recovery, it is common to perform complex therapy. Therefore, it is common to use such drugs for prostatitis at the same time: tablets, suppositories, injections. After recovery, men are recommended to strengthen their immunity. Also, in addition to medication, urologists advise taking a course of physiotherapy, prostate massage. Such manipulations will quickly free the male body from stagnation in the prostate, improve blood circulation in the prostate.
Antibiotics for prostatitis
These drugs are always prescribed in case of bacterial prostatitis. The type of bacteria that caused the disease is determined first. Be sure to perform a bacterial culture to identify the resistance of the microorganism to the antibiotic. After all, if the drug is not prescribed properly, prostatitis will continue to develop. Today, fluoroquinolones are very popular and very effective. These drugs are used to treat chronic prostatitis.
Tetracyclines are less and less used to treat the prostate. This is because such drugs are very difficult for the body to tolerate, and they can also cause diseases of other systems and organs. Preparations of the penicillin group have a wide application. They have a good antibacterial effect.
Pain medications for prostatitis
Painkillers are prescribed for any form of prostatitis. They will help to stop the pain syndrome as soon as possible, to alleviate the patient's condition. In the case of chronic prostatitis, such drugs are needed. With recurrent relapses, pain medications quickly relieve discomfort in the scrotum, perineum, and testicles. Urination becomes painless.
Rectal suppositories are most often prescribed to eliminate the pain syndrome. This is explained by the fact that candles have a quick, direct effect on the prostate. When injected into the rectum, the suppository is instantly dissolved, the active substance is rapidly absorbed into the general bloodstream. Thus, the pain is significantly reduced after 5-10 minutes after the injection. It is very important to give the medicine correctly. The man should take a lying position, and not get up for at least half an hour after the introduction. During this time, the drug will completely dissolve and begin to show its analgesic effect.
Anesthetic suppositories are very popular and very effective in treating prostatitis.
As for painkillers, they are not so popular among experts. But men prefer them. They do not differ in speed. In order for such a drug to take effect, it is necessary to complete the entire course of treatment. Pain reduction occurs only 30-40 minutes after application. Under the influence of such drugs, smooth muscle relaxation is observed, which eliminates spasm and pain.
herbal remedies for prostatitis
Modern methods of treating prostatitis in men include the use of herbal remedies. The composition of such preparations includes only herbal ingredients. There are no side effects from these drugs. But among the contraindications, it is worth mentioning only the individual intolerance of certain components of the drug. Prostate treatment with herbal remedies takes slightly longer than synthetic drugs. 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. Because the symptoms of chronic prostatitis occur occasionally, frequent use of antibiotics can have a detrimental effect on the whole organism. Therefore, natural remedies for chronic prostatitis are the best option.
Other prostate medicines
Other drugs are also used in the complex treatment of the prostate. If the prostatitis is viral in nature, the doctor prescribes antiviral drugs. Often these drugs complement complex treatments. Antiviral drugs adversely affect all viruses, 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 independent prostate regeneration. Also, under the influence of the drug, the body just begins to regulate metabolic processes in tissues and cells of the prostate. Thus, rapid elimination of inflammation, pain relief is not observed.
Antiandrogen drugs help eliminate the inflammatory process in the case of bacterial prostatitis. With the help of alpha-blockers you can reduce the pressure in the urethra, eliminate the spasm of the prostate and bladder. Such drugs increase urination, normalize blood flow in the pelvic organs. This is very important if a man has started complaining of potency disorders due to prostatitis.
As you can see, there are many medications to treat the prostate. It is very important to recognize 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 get rid of the signs of prostatitis.
