Today, modern medicine can offer drugs with various therapeutic effects for the treatment of the disease called prostatitis. If we talk about even the most complex and severe manifestations of this disease, it can be treated if you follow all the doctor's prescriptions and engage in comprehensive treatment.
Prostatitis- the most common urological disease, which is an inflammatory process in the prostate gland. According to statistics, about 3 out of every 5 men between the ages of 20 and 50 suffer from prostatitis. Even from the age of 16-18, you can get this disease, for example, with banal hypothermia of the pelvic region. 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 treatment for prostatitis.
When there are infectious and non-infectious forms of the inflammatory process, different types of drugs or their complex combinations are used. The choice of medicine is influenced especially 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 various pharmaceutical forms. These drugs can be in the form of tablets, capsules, injections and rectal suppositories. Using these drugs together, you can get a faster positive result and almost complete recovery.
The complex of treatment procedures includes antibacterial therapy, prostate massage, immunostimulation and physiotherapy. Correction of the patient's lifestyle plays a major role in the treatment of prostate gland diseases.
Recently, traditional medicine has recognized the traditional methods of combating prostatitis. Certain medicinal preparations can be bought in ready-made form at the 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 in addition to the main course of treatment after consultation with a qualified specialist.
Treatment of the acute form
The acute form of prostatitis is caused by various bacteria and pathogenic microorganisms. The main symptoms of this disease include general intoxication of the body, increased body temperature and shivering. Often there are pains in the groin and lower back, and the urge to urinate increases. The process of urinating is quite painful and is accompanied by the discharge of pus from the urethra.
Treatment of acute conditions- the use of prostatitis drugs such as antibiotics. They have a fairly broad spectral activity and can penetrate the 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 mainly outpatient; in especially advanced cases, urgent hospitalization is indicated with severe intoxication; In case of serious complications, surgical intervention is recommended.
Chronic stage
Chronic inflammation of the gland is the result of an acute phase that passes without appropriate treatment or a completely untreated acute course of the disease. Characteristic symptoms are nagging pain in the genital area, perineum or rectum. There may be a burning sensation during urination, sleep disturbance and irritability. Complications of the chronic course are male infertility, erectile dysfunction, pelvic inflammatory process.
Treatment should be outpatient, but it takes longer than in the acute form. Medicines for the treatment of the chronic form must be selected strictly individually by a specialist; the choice of necessary drugs depends on the quality of previous treatment and the sensitivity of bacterial agents. In addition to antibiotics, immunomodulators, analgesics, physiotherapeutic procedures and prostate massage are used.
At this stage, drugs such as rectal suppositories (suppositories) have found wide use. They effectively combat gland swelling, increase local immunity, improve blood microcirculation and inhibit pathogenic microorganisms. The most popular preparations are products made on the basis of an extract from the tissue of the prostate gland of bulls.
Often, cases such as asymptomatic chronic prostatitis can be observed, which do not have obvious symptoms and occur secretly in the body. The treating specialist knows which medicine to take in this case, but in most cases, drugs with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects are recommended.
Preventive measures
After a course of antibiotic therapy for acute prostatitis, you should take drugs to fight relapses and prevent chronicity.
Herbal preparations and immunocorrectors are prescribed for this purpose. Prostate massage is very effective as a preventive treatment.
In addition, you should adjust your lifestyle and exercise more often. Special gymnastics methods designed to improve the functioning of the prostate gland and other organs of the genitourinary system have been developed. It is important to have a regular sexual partner and to have a normal sex life.
Treatment of acute and especially chronic stages of inflammation of the prostate gland is a long and financially expensive process. Often it is impossible to cure it completely, the use of drugs only helps to eliminate the symptoms and improve the patient's well-being. Therefore, the best treatment of prostatitis is timely preventive measures.
New treatment methods
Modern treatment methods do not stand still. From time to time, more and more new drugs are being developed for inflammation of the prostate gland. These include adrenergic blockers, which relieve spasms in the bladder, sphincter, and prostate itself, helping release glandular secretions and preventing congestion and swelling.
Sometimes female hormones are used to treat inflammatory processes in the prostate gland. They reduce the inflammatory process and can be treated with other drugs.
In order to quickly achieve the desired effect in the treatment of any form of prostatitis, drugs should be prescribed only by a specialist urologist-andrologist. After studying the patient's condition and passing all tests, identifying all possible accompanying diseases and complications, the specialist will create an individual physiotherapeutic and drug complex. Only following all the recommendations of a specialist allows patients to fully recover.
