Prostatitis is the most common male disease in urology, its treatment is not easy. Be sure to prescribe a number of measures aimed at reducing pain, normalizing urination and returning the prostate to its normal size. Treatment includes drug therapy, special massage, physiotherapy. Tablets are selected depending on the form of prostatitis.
Tablets for various types of prostatitis
If the cause of the disease is bacteria, antibiotics are prescribed. Tablets with a wide range of action are considered appropriate:
- cephalosporins;
- penicillins;
- fluoroquinols.
The first group of drugs is mainly given by injection. The second and third groups are available in the form of tablets.
In acute prostatitis, first of all, it is necessary to reduce pain and prescribe the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Baralgin is often recommended to relieve pain. If the treatment takes place at home, it is prescribed in tablets. In the hospital, injections are more often used.
The viral form of prostatitis is extremely rare. It usually develops in people with very weak immunity. Herpes virus, influenza, papillomavirus lead to the disease. In addition to drugs that improve blood circulation, antiviral tablets are prescribed. It is mandatory to take drugs and vitamins that increase immunity.
Drug groups for the treatment of prostatitis
pain pills
Basically, they are needed in the acute form of the disease. Antispasmodics are used that relax the smooth muscles of blood vessels and increase blood microcirculation. It reduces inflammation and acts as a pain reliever.
In addition, analgesics are prescribed. They only provide pain relief for a few hours, so constant use is required. The above drugs solve a different problem - they normalize the condition of the compressed urethra, normalize the condition of the inflamed and enlarged prostate gland. If the effect should be as soon as possible, for example, with severe pain, then it is better to use candles. They move faster.
If it is necessary to relax the muscles of the perineum, muscle relaxants are prescribed.
Improving blood circulation
Tablets are almost always prescribed to improve blood circulation, since congestion is often the cause of prostatitis. They do not allow the body to fully recover, they do not allow antibacterial drugs to act with full force. Therefore, an angioprotector is prescribed, which improves microcirculation and oxygen supply to all cells. Increases the elasticity of platelets and erythrocytes.
Alpha blockers
This group of drugs includes tablets and other release forms of drugs aimed at relaxing the smooth muscles of the urethra and bladder neck. The course of taking adrenoblockers is quite long, but it should be remembered that such pills are aimed at eliminating unpleasant symptoms, not treatment. It is especially effective in chronic urinary retention.
5-alpha reductase inhibitors can also be used for treatment. The action of these drugs is aimed at reducing the volume of the prostate and increasing the strength of urine flow. It is often used in chronic forms, it is taken for at least six months.
homeopathic remedies
Homeopathy is unlikely to help with the acute form of prostatitis, but may act as an additional treatment for the chronic form or prevention. The most suitable drug will be selected by a specialist.
Features of taking pills
A man must complete a course of treatment. The absence of symptoms does not mean that the prostate is back to normal. If this is not done, the inflammation becomes chronic.
Medicines are selected only after examination. The doctor takes into account the presence of microflora in the smear, clinical signs and pain complaints of the patient. Depending on this, the man should receive antibacterial, anti-inflammatory treatment. Recently, bioregulatory peptides are often prescribed for recovery after treatment. They improve the regeneration of prostate cells.
There are many drugs that allow you to fight prostatitis. But only a few are suitable for you. You cannot prescribe the treatment yourself. This can lead to sexual dysfunction, which will not be easy to overcome in the future.
