The genitourinary system of men is prone to the development of inflammatory processes associated with exposure to the tissues of the organs of pathogenic microflora. Non-compliance with hygiene rules, unprotected sexual intercourse, weakened immunity, lack of regular sports activities - all these are factors that provoke the development of stagnation and inflammation in the prostate gland.
Symptoms of acute prostatitis are the basis for immediate medical attention, and the chronic form of the disease requires constant monitoring.
Therapy of various forms of prostatitis.
To date, doctors use certain treatment regimens for inflammatory prostate disease. The choice of drugs largely depends on the form of prostatitis and the degree of manifestation of its symptoms.
In acute inflammation, fast-acting drugs with antibacterial properties are indicated.
Treatment should be prescribed by the doctor after examination and determination of the type of microorganisms that caused the development of prostatitis. Sometimes, with acute symptoms, antibacterial drugs are prescribed immediately when the patient comes into contact. In the future, after receiving the results of a laboratory test, the urologist may prescribe another drug for prostatitis.
The basis for the appointment of one or another type of antibiotics is the results of microbiological culture.
If the acute form of the disease is treated relatively quickly, then with chronic prostatitis therapy can last up to six months. Usually, the doctor prescribes a wide range of drugs that must be taken according to the drawn up scheme. It is important to remember that the prostate gland in chronic disease can be repeatedly inflamed, so patients should regularly visit a doctor and carry out prescribed treatment after a second examination.
Preparations for the treatment of prostatitis are selected depending on the severity of the signs of the disease and its causes. The inflammation should be treated with medications aimed at reducing symptoms, which are usually manifested by problems urinating, pain syndrome and impaired quality of sexual life. If the drugs for prostatitis are chosen correctly, the patient after a week notes a decrease in discomfort in the pelvis and the volume of secretion from the urethra, the normalization of urine flow.
The rapid action of the product is not a guarantee of its maximum effectiveness.
Many drugs for prostatitis reduce the manifestations of the disease in a fairly short time, therefore patients consider them the most effective. In fact, this is not entirely true, since not all drugs are able to eliminate the cause of the disease.
The prescribed remedy for prostatitis should be selected after identifying the provoking factors.
Carrying out antibiotic therapy.
Before using a drug for prostatitis with antibacterial properties, the patient must undergo an examination, which includes not only an external examination, but also a study of blood, semen, urine, bacterioscopy of a smear from the urethra. The result of the analysis allows the urologist to accurately determine the choice of an antibacterial drug. If several types of microbes are detected at once, the prescribed course should consist of two or more drugs.
When two antibiotics are prescribed, they can be given in different ways, for example as an injection and as a tablet.
With acute prostatitis, antibiotic therapy is mandatory. With mild symptoms of the disease, antibiotics are indicated to prevent infection. The urologist decides which medications the patient should take after receiving a transcript of the tests.
The modern approach to the treatment of acute inflammatory disease of the prostate involves the use of antibiotics for a week and a half. For the treatment of the chronic form, the scheme is drawn up for a longer period - about two months.
A drug that contains levofloxacin in its composition relieves inflammation well. This substance can rapidly accumulate in affected tissues and destroy streptococci and staphylococci. The drug is very effective, but can provoke the development of undesirable effects on the digestive tract and cardiovascular system.
Before starting treatment with the drug, you should carefully study the side effects described in the annotation and the rules for taking the tablets.
The tablet should be taken only after meals, otherwise irritation of the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines may occur. If this medicine for prostatitis causes a sharp deterioration in well-being, it is better to consult a doctor.
In chronic inflammation of the prostate, a drug that acts on several types of pathogens has a good effect.
Against the background of taking the drug, serious disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, including the liver, may occur, so doctors recommend supplementing treatment with hepatoprotectors. In case of adverse reactions of the body, the urologist changes the scheme according to which prostatitis in men is treated, and drugs are selected depending on the existing pathologies.
The drug, which belongs to the group of macrolides, is effective against the simplest microorganisms - mycoplasma, ureaplasma, chlamydia.
When detecting chlamydia and mycoplasmosis, drugs from various macrolides and cephalosporins are used. The use of the group of penicillins is also justified in the treatment of prostate disease.
anti-inflammatory drugs
After the examination, the doctor decides which anti-inflammatory drug to prescribe to the patient. The active components of the funds help restore the process of urination and reduce pain.
About which drugs relieve pain and swelling, you need to consult your doctor. In chronic inflammation, a drug that increases blood supply to the gland, prevents thrombosis, relieves swelling and improves the urination process is currently being used with great success. The main component of the remedy is dried bovine prostate. It helps to increase potency, normalizes microcirculation in the genital organs, reduces symptoms of inflammation. Many new drugs designed to treat prostatitis contain this animal component with efficacy confirmed by urologists.
As an auxiliary component, the preparation contains the most important trace element for the male body - zinc, which helps restore potency, often reduced in chronic prostatitis. Candles can be used for hemorrhoids and damage to the intestinal mucosa.
Drugs with analgesic effect.
The pain that occurs during exacerbations of the disease helps to remove drugs with an analgesic effect.
The NSAID drug has a good effect, which quickly penetrates the prostate gland and has an analgesic effect.
In inflammatory processes, accompanied by serious problems with the outflow of urine, urologists prescribe muscle relaxants that help relax the muscular tissues of the prostate and bladder and restore urination. The drug is also used for hypertension, with a tendency to low pressure and liver disturbance, it is contraindicated.
folk ways
Doctors do not deny the effectiveness of folk recipes in the treatment of prostatitis. Various decoctions can be used to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. With heaviness and discomfort in the pelvis, chamomile, St. John's wort, thyme are used. It is useful to add honey to prepared healing drinks.
From the decoctions of these same plants, enemas, therapeutic baths can be performed. Before the procedure, it is useful to add 5-8 drops of essential oil of lavender or tea tree to the water collected in the container. Sometimes doctors recommend taking baths with coniferous concentrate. With prostatitis, it is not necessary to allow hypothermia, therefore, as it cools, it is advisable to add hot water to the bath. The duration of the bath is on average 20 minutes.
When the symptoms of prostatitis appear, you can buy candles, which include honey and propolis.
These products are very useful, as they have a pronounced antiseptic effect. Some men make their own suppositories using wax and honey.
Various tinctures also have a beneficial effect. They are prepared from plants, aspen bark, propolis. Do not forget that natural ingredients can cause an allergic reaction. This method of treatment should not be used if the man has a high sensitivity to herbs. Honey is also highly allergenic and should not be used if you are allergic to other bee products. If such reactions of the body are not observed, honey can be eaten daily in two or three tablespoons.
To remove congestion, doctors recommend massaging the prostate. This procedure is carried out with a finger inserted into the rectum or a special device, the cost of which directly depends on the number of functions. The device can be equipped with a vibration mechanism. Such an effect is useful for swelling and stagnation of prostatic secretion in the gland. Any medical procedures should be carried out only after a full examination and consultation with a urologist.
