The advisability of prescribing these drugs for the treatment of the latent form is determined on the basis of the test results. The presence of bacterial flora can be indicated by a hanging number of leukocytes and the identification of microorganisms in the secretion of the gland or in the case of pyospermia. Antibiotics for prostatitis are selected after examination of secretions or semen
Selection characteristics
Various antibiotics are used to treat inflammation in men. When choosing, it is important to give preference to those that have the ability to accumulate in the gland tissues. This is the main selection criterion for the treatment of prostatitis. For this purpose, fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, macrolides and so on are prescribed.
In order to choose antibiotics wisely, it is important to consult a doctor. In this situation, if bacterial flora is suspected, analysis is done to identify the type of pathogen. At the same time, its sensitivity to existing active substances is determined. It is only on this basis that preference is given to one or the other medicine.
It is important to note that the symptoms of chronic prostatitis are usually mild. For this reason, the patient and the doctor have the option to wait for the test results and choose an antibiotic that will have a guaranteed effect. Antibiotics should only be prescribed by a doctor and after conducting the necessary research.
Fluoroquinolones for prostatitis
These antibiotics have many advantages:
- quickly reaching high concentrations in tissues;
- minimal number of side effects;
- efficacy of both oral and parenteral forms;
- excellent bioavailability.
An important feature is that drugs from this group have a prolonged effect. After ingestion, the active substance is released within 24 hours. Therefore, the concentration of the substance is maintained until the next dose.
Synthetic broad-spectrum antibacterial drugs are especially often used for treatment. They show the most pronounced effect in the presence of intracellular infection. In addition, this group of drugs should be prescribed for prostatitis that occurs as a complication of a sexually transmitted disease. Medicines from the fluoroquinolone group have almost no side effects and are well absorbed
All fluoroquinolones, without exception, show high efficacy in the treatment of typical infections. The only drawback is neurotoxicity. Medicines are used only after excluding the presence of tuberculosis of any localization.
Prostatitis and the choice of antibiotics for its treatment
The dosage directly depends on the name of the drug and the concentration of the active substance. In principle, fluoroquinolones are taken in a dose of 500-1000 milligrams per day.
Tetracycline drugs
Often, a synthetic antibacterial agent is prescribed to treat the disease; the main feature of the drug is its ability to penetrate the tissue of the gland, accumulating in maximum quantities. Moreover, such drugs are affordable and available in a wide variety of forms of release.
Antibacterial drugs are ineffective against some enterococci. For this reason, they are prescribed only after determining the sensitivity.
For the treatment of pathology, an antibiotic is prescribed in the amount of two tablets per day. The duration of therapy is determined individually.
The drug can be prescribed after a sensitivity test.
Tetracycline antibiotics are effective against mycoplasma, chlamydia and other infections. They are easily tolerated and have high activity. It is used in a dose not exceeding two hundred milligrams per day.
In addition to well-known drugs, macrolides are used. Use 500-1000 milligrams per day. As a rule, the maximum dose is used within three days after the start of treatment. Then the number of tablets is reduced by half.
When using macrolides, it is important to consider that these drugs have not been fully studied. At the same time, they are known to be low-toxic, quickly accumulate in gland tissues and effectively deal with a large number of bacteria.
Drugs of other groups
For the treatment of inflammation, you can use a combined kit containing an antifungal drug, an antibiotic and an antibacterial drug with antiprotozoal activity. This medicine is very important for men, and it has also shown high efficiency in the treatment of prostatitis. One blister contains from 6 to 15 tablets of different medicines. They are selected in a daily dose and taken all at the same time.
The antifungal agent is effective against most pathogens of prostatitis
This composition makes it possible to eliminate inflammation when identifying pathogens such as trichomonas, anaerobes, Gardinella, mycoplasma, etc. But what is especially useful is that this antibiotic is effective in the presence of Candida fungi.
According to WHO requirements, this is the ideal drug for the treatment of prostatitis. When used, the efficiency reaches 95% even in the presence of advanced prostatitis with stable microflora. At the same time, the antibiotic has minimal toxicity, is easily tolerated, is easy to use due to a single dose, and causes a minimal degree of resistance in microorganisms.
Indications for the use of such an antibiotic are uncomplicated prostatitis, inflammation caused by sexually transmitted infections, as well as the combination of prostatitis with urethritis. In the absence of pronounced symptoms, one application is sufficient. In men with frequent relapses, a course of five days at the full dose is required.
Standards of treatment
Specialists from a large number of countries are working on creating an effective method for the treatment of recurrent prostatitis. Most are inclined to believe that for men the duration of treatment should be at least two weeks. After that, the patient's condition and test results are assessed. As a rule, therapy continues after that. In principle, the course should last at least 4-6 weeks.
To cope with prostatitis, you must adhere to the prescribed regimen and course of therapy.
In the chronic form of prostatitis, antibiotics in tablets and capsules are preferred. In this case, the dose should be as high as possible. It is the only way to achieve lasting results.
The latent form of prostatitis is considered separately. In most cases, laboratory analysis does not reveal bacterial flora, but this does not guarantee its absence. This explains the fact that the use of antibiotics in men eliminates pelvic pain syndrome and improves the general condition.
At the same time, it is important to remember that it is simply impossible to create a specific treatment regimen for the disease. This is explained by the individual characteristics of patients and the variety of forms of pathology. Therefore, you should not take antibiotics that have shown excellent results in other men. Only a doctor can choose the most appropriate treatment option in your particular case.
