Prostate problems in men begin at the age of 40.Active inflammation of the prostate is caused by infectious viruses and bacteria, reduced immunity, diseases of the reproductive system, hormonal imbalance and sexually transmitted diseases.The process of treating inflammation in the prostate does not cause special problems, because modern medicine offers a huge number of drugs and special drugs that will quickly and painlessly help in dealing with prostatitis.Most often, in cases of prostate problems, men are prescribed antibiotic therapy.Only a professional urologist can choose the right medicine and prescribe treatment.
Which antibiotics to choose for prostatitis
Prostatitis as a pathology is divided into two types: non-bacterial and bacterial (infectious).Antimicrobial drugs are not used for non-bacterial prostatitis.This type of drug is used for chronic and acute types of prostatitis.
In order for a man to understand what type of antibiotics he should take and whether it is necessary to take antibiotics for prostatitis, he must first find the causes of the disease (pathogens).To do this, you should undergo a detailed examination, which includes a urine test to identify pathogens (E. coli, chlamydia, mycoplasma, staphylococcus and others).
It should be noted that you should not choose antibiotics for prostatitis yourself.It should be known that when choosing an antibiotic for treatment, the individual sensitivity of bacteria to the drug should be taken into account.
The choice of antibiotics, dose and duration of treatment (course) depend on the type of pathology (acute or chronic).In most cases, doctors prescribe broad-spectrum antibiotics to men, in combination with: vitamin therapy, means for normalizing circulation and immunostimulating means, antidepressants, massages, etc.(it all depends on the type of pathogen, as well as its sensitivity to drugs (antibiotics)).
Groups of antibiotics in the treatment of prostatitis
Medicines used for prostatitis are available in the form of suppositories, tablets, injections or microenemas.Most often, men are prescribed antibiotic tablets (broad spectrum) if the causes (pathogens) of the disease have not yet been determined.
Antibiotics for prostatitis are divided into three types:
- Penicillins;
- Fluoroquinolones;
- Tetracyclines.
Rectal suppositories are often prescribed during the treatment of prostatitis.Suppositories help relieve pain symptoms, have an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect.Suppositories, as well as drugs for injections, act immediately on the body, so the treatment of prostatitis with suppositories is an effective technique.
The fastest acting antibiotics (solutions) for injections.Injection solutions increase the defense of the immune system and the entire vascular system of the body.In some cases, doctors resort to the instillation method.The instillation method is a process in which a solution (antibiotics) is injected directly into the urethral canal.The procedure is performed on an empty bladder.
There is also a microenema method based on medicinal herbs (infusions, decoctions).This procedure is used in combination with drug treatment.Microenema is performed before going to bed.
Treatment of prostatitis with antibiotics
The process of treating prostatitis should be comprehensive and include different groups of drugs:
- pain relievers;
- hormonal drugs;
- antibiotics;
- alpha-blockers;
- anti-inflammatory and antiviral drugs.
Get rid of bacterial prostatitis
Bacterial prostatitis is treated only with antibiotics.Antibiotics in the form of tablets are taken for chronic and acute prostatitis, the treatment lasts about 30 days.If prostatitis becomes more serious or complications arise, treatment will continue with the injection of antibiotics into the urethral canal.
Also, in combination with antibiotic therapy, painkillers can be prescribed.But you should be careful when taking them together, because an overdose of the drug (painkiller) can cause the development of negative side effects.
Chronic prostatitis
Alpha-blockers are prescribed for chronic prostatitis (non-bacterial).Antibiotics of this type relax the bladder neck and muscles, reduce pain (when urinating).It is worth noting that drugs from this group have side effects, including headache and hypotension.
Medicines containing hormones are prescribed for chronic prostatitis (various forms).The fact is that an excess of the male hormone testosterone in a man's blood activates the process of prostate proliferation.During the treatment, the hormone level equalizes and returns to normal, and at the same time inflammatory processes disappear.As well as additional treatment measures, herbal remedies are used to reduce swelling and inflammation.
Viral prostatitis
Antiviral drugs are prescribed for viral prostatitis.
The course of treatment was supplemented with non-steroidal antiviral drugs.This group eliminates pain, swelling and anti-inflammatory processes.In addition to the above drugs, drugs are used to improve blood flow to the prostate.
Immunomodulators are used to strengthen the immune system when taking antibiotics for prostatitis.
Treatment regimen for prostatitis with antibiotics
When treating prostatitis with antibiotics, the course of treatment can be from 6 to 12 weeks.Medicines from different groups can be taken alternately or in combination.
In severe cases, prostatitis can cause side effects: fever, headache, prostate pain.In such cases, the doctor prescribes antibiotics by injection (intravenous).The duration of this course is 4 weeks - 6, 7 weeks.
The doctor can prescribe several medicines at the same time.
After a course of antibiotic therapy, the man's condition should improve;in cases where the condition does not improve, there is a possibility that the disease is caused by bacteria (infections).
Self-completion of treatment is completely prohibited!Even if the man's condition has improved.Prostatitis is a very insidious disease that has relapses.
Effective drugs for the treatment of prostatitis
Only a professional urologist can choose an effective and correct drug and prescribe treatment.
In order to avoid complications and further development of the disease, follow the exact antibiotic regimen prescribed by your doctor.Do not self-medicate, do not use drugs from little-known pharmaceutical companies.Medicines from the "antibiotic" group have side effects that can harm the health of all men, including sexual activity and general normality.
