Today, modern medicine can offer drugs with a wide range of therapeutic effects for the treatment of the disease called prostatitis. If we talk about even the most complex and difficult manifestations of this disease, they can be cured if you follow all medical prescriptions and engage in comprehensive treatment.
Prostatitis– the most common urological disease, which is an inflammatory process in the prostate. According to statistics, approximately 3 out of 5 men between the ages of 20 and 50 suffer from prostatitis. Even starting at the age of 16-18, you can get this disease, for example, with banal hypothermia of the pelvic area. Complications of advanced forms of this disease are impotence, infertility, inflammatory diseases of other organs of the genitourinary system, as well as prostate cancer.
Since there are many reasons for the development of prostatitis, it is impossible to single out the most effective remedy for prostatitis.
In the presence of infectious and non-infectious forms of the inflammatory process, different types of drugs or their complex combinations are used. The choice of drugs is particularly influenced by the general condition of the patient, the presence of concomitant diseases and complications.
Types of therapeutic treatment depending on the form of the disease
Medicines for the treatment of prostatitis are available in a wide range of pharmaceutical forms. These drugs can be in the form of tablets, capsules, injections and rectal suppositories. By combining these drugs, you can achieve a faster positive result and an almost complete recovery.
The treatment complex includes antibacterial therapy, prostate massage, immunostimulation and physiotherapy. Correction of the patient's lifestyle plays a major role in the treatment of prostate disease.
More recently, traditional medicine has recognized traditional methods of combating prostatitis. Certain medicinal preparations can be bought ready-made in a pharmacy, while others can be collected and prepared independently. This herbal collection includes anti-inflammatory, diuretic, relaxing and soothing herbs; this treatment can be used as an addition to the main treatment after consultation with a qualified specialist.
Treatment of acute form
The acute form of prostatitis is caused by various bacteria and pathogenic microorganisms. The main symptoms of this disease are general intoxication of the body, elevated body temperature and chills. Often there is pain in the groin and lower back, and an increased urge to urinate. The process of urination is quite painful and is accompanied by the release of pus from the urethra.
Treatment of acute conditions- use of anti-prostatitis drugs such as antibiotics. They have a fairly wide spectrum of activity and can penetrate prostate tissue. The most common types are macrolides, cephalosporins, protected penicillins and fluoroquinolones.
The choice of an effective drug always depends on the type of microorganisms and their sensitivity to a certain type of antibiotic. Treatment is mostly outpatient; in particularly advanced cases, with severe intoxication, urgent hospitalization is indicated; in the presence of serious complications, surgical intervention is recommended.
Chronic stage
Chronic inflammation of the gland is a consequence of an acute phase that has suffered without proper treatment or an incompletely cured acute course of the disease. Characteristic symptoms are excruciating pain in the genital area, perineum or rectum. There may be a burning sensation during urination, worsening of sleep and irritability. Complications of the chronic course are male infertility, erectile dysfunction, inflammatory process of the pelvic organs.
Treatment should be outpatient, but it lasts longer than in the acute form. Medicines for the treatment of the chronic form must be chosen strictly individually by a specialist, the choice of necessary medicines depends on the quality of the previous treatment and the sensitivity of the bacterial agents. In addition to antibiotics, immunomodulators, analgesics, physiotherapeutic procedures and prostate massage are used.
At this stage, drugs such as rectal suppositories (suppositories) found widespread use. They effectively fight against gland swelling, increase local immunity, improve blood microcirculation and inhibit pathogenic microorganisms. The most popular preparations are products based on extracts from the prostate tissue of bulls.
Cases such as asymptomatic chronic prostatitis, which has no obvious signs and occurs latently in the body, can often be observed. A treatment specialist knows which medicine to take in this case, but the most commonly recommended are medicines with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects.
Preventive measures
After a course of antibiotic therapy for acute prostatitis, it is necessary to take drugs aimed at suppressing recurrence and preventing chronicity.
Herbal preparations and immunocorrectors are prescribed for this purpose. Prostate massage is quite effective as a preventive treatment.
In addition, you should adjust your lifestyle and exercise more often. Special gymnastics methods have been developed that are designed to improve the work of the prostate and other organs of the genitourinary system. It is important to have a regular sexual partner and lead a normal sex life.
Therapy of the acute, and especially the chronic stage of prostatitis is a rather long and financially expensive process. It is often not possible to completely cure it, the use of drugs only helps to alleviate the symptoms and improve the patient's well-being. Therefore, the best treatment for prostatitis is timely preventive measures.
New methods of treatment
Modern treatment methods do not stand still. More and more new drugs for prostate inflammation are being developed from time to time. These include adrenergic blockers, they relieve spasms in the bladder, sphincter and the prostate itself, this promotes the free release of glandular secretions, and also prevents blockage and swelling.
Sometimes female hormones are used to treat inflammatory processes in the prostate. They reduce the inflammation process and can cure it in combination with other drugs.
In order to quickly achieve the desired effect from the treatment of any form of prostatitis, drugs should be prescribed exclusively by a specialist urologist-andrologist. After studying the patient's condition and passing all tests, determining all possible accompanying diseases and complications, the specialist will create an individual physiotherapeutic and medical complex. Only following all the recommendations of experts allows patients to achieve full recovery.
