Drugs and medications for the treatment of chronic prostatitis

Despite the fact that the problem of prostatitis is considered the most serious for men, drugs and medications for chronic prostatitis can help you quickly get rid of this problem. Need to understand more details about drugs.

Medicines to treat chronic prostatitis

Pharmacies offer the following medications:

1. Drug.These include tablets and capsules. They differ only in that the latter has a gelatin shell, inside it contains medicine in powder form and tablets with thick properties. Both medications are taken before, during, or after meals. Some medications need to be taken with water.
2. Injection or solution for injection.Drugs used to treat chronic prostatitis are used both intramuscularly and intravenously. This ensures immediate effects of the product.
3. Candle.They are taken in a course of treatment of 5 to 10 days and also have many positive effects. These include analgesic, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. Suppositories can only be used when the patient lies on his side. In this position, you need to lie down for another 30 minutes after inserting the suppository. During this time, all substances have time to absorb and assimilate.
4. Droppers.This method of treatment is used rarely and, as a rule, only when the patient is hospitalized. The medication is injected directly into the urethra using a catheter and therefore the procedure should only be performed by experienced medical personnel.
5. Microclyster.Doctors consider the presented remedy not as a full-fledged medicine for treatment, but as a method of prevention. Microclysters contain herbal decoctions with anti-inflammatory effects.

These drugs for the treatment of chronic prostatitis are considered the mainstays among the drugs.

In addition, there is another way of classifying drugs:

1. Etiotropic.This drug fights infections, which are considered the main cause of the disease.
2. Cause disease.Reduces congestion in the gland and inhibits inflammation.
3. There are symptoms.They are used exclusively to combat discomfort during illness.

Muscle relaxants

Designed to reduce increased muscle tone. It is impossible to completely cure prostatitis with their help, they are used only as an additional remedy.

In therapy, drugs are prescribed to improve blood microcirculation in the prostate.

Alpha blockers

Alpha blockers are used if a man feels discomfort while urinating. This problem is often encountered in young men with prostatitis, who often feel the need to urinate but cannot go away on their own. Only in this case alpha blockers are prescribed.

These drugs have many good reviews and are often recommended by doctors.

It is believed that for long-term results, it is necessary to use these drugs for at least 6-12 months. Stopping treatment immediately after symptoms subside increases the risk of exacerbation.

Antibiotics

Antibiotics are aimed at eliminating the cause of prostatitis, but their choice must be approached responsibly. Not all antibiotics can quickly and completely eliminate the cause of the disease.

There are the following groups of antibiotics:

1. Cephalosporins.They are used for infusion operations and have many applications.
2. Macrolides.They differ in that they are non-toxic and do not affect the intestinal microflora. Penetrates well into prostate tissue. They are reserve antibiotics and therefore are only used if other groups of drugs are ineffective.
3. Penicillin.They are distinguished by their fairly low cost, convenient form of management and high efficiency. As a rule, they are used when intolerance to fluoroquinolones or in the presence of chronic multisystem disease.
4. Fluoroquinolone.They have proven effectiveness and are well absorbed into prostate tissue.
5. Tetracycline.They have negative properties, including a negative impact on the digestive tract.

Anti-inflammatory drugs

Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate that will progress if left untreated. If you reduce inflammation, it can help eliminate unpleasant symptoms of the disease.

It is important to remember that the use of each drug and its dosage must be adjusted by the doctor based on the patient's condition and symptoms.

Steroids

Steroid drugs are only used if non-steroidal treatment does not help.

It is important to note that steroid medications significantly suppress the immune system and therefore cannot be prescribed if the patient is infected with HIV or is otherwise immunocompromised.

No steroids

Nonsteroidal drugs have few side effects and are highly effective.

It is important to understand that they are recommended to be taken only in the acute phase of the disease, for a period of 5 to 7 days, no more.

Caution should be exercised if the patient has an exacerbation of gastrointestinal diseases.

On-site remedies

Topical treatments are a special type of medication commonly used to treat prostate dysfunction. In the acute form of prostatitis, ointments and suppositories are most often used, and in the chronic form of the disease, the following substances are prescribed:

1. A drug based on prostaglandin extract helps improve urine excretion and also has a positive effect on metabolic processes in the body.
2. Morpholinium-methyl-triazolyl-thioacetate. Improves the regeneration process in the prostate.
3. Propolis. Strengthens the immune system, reduces inflammation. It is a natural beekeeping product.
4. Ammonium bitumen sulfonate. Has local anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.
5. However, candles made from propolis also have other additives: wax, honey and royal jelly.
6. Sea cabbage oil. You need to be careful with it, because in some cases the product can cause an unpleasant reaction in the form of a burning sensation in the rectum. Has an increased anti-inflammatory effect.
7. In the category of ointments, there is a product made from camphor, which is prescribed to drain urine and secretions. It is administered directly using an applicator.
8. We must not forget about suppositories, which are prescribed not only for the chronic stage of the disease, but also after surgery.

Principles of correct drug treatment

First of all, it is better to entrust your health to your doctor, who will help you create a treatment plan. This does not necessarily mean that treatment will be expensive, on the contrary, properly selected cheap drugs will be no less effective than expensive ones.

Principles of proper treatment are as follows:

1. First, examinations are performed, during which it is necessary to find out which microorganisms cause prostatitis.
2. A study is being conducted on sensitivity to certain groups of drugs. A properly selected medication is already half the success of treatment.
3. For further treatment, not only the most effective, but also the safest treatment method is chosen.
4. Based on the tests, as well as the characteristics of the patient's body, the treatment method and dosage are selected. Absolutely do not prescribe medication yourself, especially when using suppositories.
5. Once a course is prescribed, it must start on the same day. The course is selected in accordance with the patient's health and must be strictly followed. Deviations from the medication regimen are strictly prohibited as they may slow progress or even cause reverse progression.
6. During treatment, you should not forget to conduct timely examination and testing. This is only necessary so you can observe the progression of the disease and adjust the amount of medication used.

We must not forget that the fastest results can be achieved only if complex treatment methods are used. The course must also include a massage or special bath.

It is important to note that performing massage on your own, using video instructions or written manuals, is absolutely not recommended as in most cases this only worsens the condition. The patient gets worse. Massage must be performed by professionals.

The regimen and duration of treatment will depend solely on the individual patient's body, however, in any case, treatment should be started as early as possible, before the disease begins to actively progress.

During treatment, we must also not forget that in addition to complex treatment, we must also remember about non-drug therapy methods. These include proper nutrition and exercise. There are also physiotherapy and prostate massage procedures, without which treatment cannot be considered complete.

The following recommendations must also be followed:

1. Beware of hypothermia, especially in the feet, lower back, scrotum, and penis.
2. Avoid high temperatures, as they can accelerate the spread of infection and bacteria throughout the body.
3. Quit drinking and smoking.
4. Maintain a reasonable diet. Diet must be balanced and healthy.

Contraindications to drug treatment

There are a number of contraindications to drug treatment that must be taken into account when choosing a treatment method and must be reported to the doctor.

1. Antibiotic intolerance.Each organism has its own characteristics and therefore if someone in the environment calmly tolerates a certain antibiotic, this does not mean that your body will react in the same way.
2. Comorbidities.These include liver and kidney diseases, as well as diabetes. With such diseases, you need to be especially careful when choosing the right medicine.
3. Allergic reaction.During the test, it is necessary to check whether the drug causes an allergic reaction. If anything, it can only make the patient's condition worse. It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that allergic reactions can occur not only with one drug, but also with several groups of substances.
4. It is important to change medications during several treatment sessions.If the medicine helped last time, then this time you must change to another medicine, otherwise the treatment may not be effective enough.

Physiotherapy also has certain contraindications that must be observed:

• epilepsy;
• high body temperature, above 38, if accompanied by fever;
• CKD;
• heart-related diseaes;
• functional disorders of the respiratory system;
• the presence of malignant tumors - this can lead to rapid growth of cancer cells, and subsequent deterioration of the patient's health;
• anemia or tendency to bleed.

Physiotherapy can only be performed if the disease is in a chronic stage and there is no purulent discharge.

With this form of prostatitis, it should not occur separately, but simultaneously with treatment with modern drugs.
