In recent years, attitudes toward the treatment of prostate adenoma and prostatitis have changed significantly. Such a diagnosis is no longer an unequivocal indicator of surgical intervention, the drugs have proven to be quite effective. Of course, this significantly prolongs the recovery process, but patients do not have to go through a long recovery period after surgery. Prostate function is regulated with the help of tablets. Such treatment is designed to help a man cope with worsening symptoms as much as possible.
As a rule, drugs perfectly treat the initial stage of prostate adenoma and alleviate complications in the later stages. This is explained by the fact that drug methods can slow down or completely stop the process of organ tissue hyperplasia.
Treatment of prostate adenoma is not mandatory, so every patient has the right to refuse it by choosing 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 develop:
- disease progression, as well as worsening of already expressed symptoms;
- reducing the quality of vital signs;
- increased need for surgery;
- acute signs of urinary retention.
Modern studies have shown that drugs to treat prostate adenoma and prostatitis have become gentler for the whole body 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 in the process of urination. Also, surgery cannot be avoided if there is kidney damage.
Indications for drug treatment
Medicines to eliminate the symptoms of adenoma and prostatitis are selected in cases where:
- hyperplasia develops again after planned surgery;
- the patient's age does not allow surgical intervention;
- the man voluntarily writes a refusal of surgery.
In addition, there are cases when drug treatment is categorically contraindicated, because it can not provide emergency care in emergencies.
Medications for treatment
With an increase in the symptoms of prostate adenoma and prostatitis, a number of medications are prescribed that can alleviate the condition of the man. Most effective in cases with moderate disease. All prostate medications can be combined into two main groups:
- alpha blockers, which have a relaxing effect on prostate muscles;
- inhibitors reduce prostate volume and slow or completely stop its further enlargement.
Also relevant in modern medicine is the combination therapy used in cases of significant increase in prostate volume. Combination of drugs avoids surgery. The only disadvantage of this treatment is the manifestation of side effects of two types of drugs at once. Prostate medications can lower blood pressure, so such medications are not suitable for hypotensive patients.
Tamuzolosin-based drugs are effective drugs for the treatment of prostatitis and prostate adenoma. They bring quick relief, alleviate the first symptoms and help cope with the root cause of the disease. Also, these drugs show a minimal number of side effects.
Avoidance of surgery is achieved in the case of taking drugs based on 5 alpha reductase inhibitors.
Antibiotic therapy
Antibiotics for adenoma are used only if it is associated with an acute bacterial infection. Antibiotics also help to get rid of fevers, chills and fevers. The general condition is improving. Inflammation of the prostate is perfectly alleviated by fluoroquinolones.
After antibiotics, a course of antifungal drugs is often prescribed. This is due to the fact that antibacterial drugs violate the microflora of the body, causing the reproduction of fungi.
Essential oils
Often patients try to recover on their own from prostatitis and adenomas, 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 efficient and most commonly used of them. Essential oils, especially fir oil, help alleviate the inflammatory process and eliminate the main symptoms of the disease.
To prepare a folk remedy, sea buckthorn oil and fir are mixed in equal proportions and moistened with a gauze cloth. 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 is not removed until the next act of defecation. You can also order candles with fir oil in pharmacies. The duration of therapy is approximately 25-30 days.
Fir oil can kill bacteria, warm the area of the enlarged organ and acts as an excellent painkiller.
Cocoa butter-based candles are widely used, where fir oil is added in the amount of 10 drops. The drug is also injected into the rectum at night. Relieves pain, inflammation and reduces the size of the prostate. Sexual functions are restored, the general condition of the organism improves. This method has been tested several times, so it is 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 burning sensation is possible. In this case, it is better to refuse such treatment and look for an alternative.
There are many ways to fight prostate adenoma and prostatitis, the main thing is to decide to undergo an examination and start treatment. There is no reason to worry here, because it is better to use medicines and folk remedies than to go through recovery after surgery.
