The appropriateness of prescribing these drugs for the treatment of the latent form is determined by the test results. The presence of bacterial flora can be shown by the dependent number of leukocytes and the identification of microorganisms in glandular secretions or pyospermia. The choice of antibiotic for prostatitis is made after the secretion or sperm test
Selection features
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 tissues of the gland. This is the main selection criterion for the treatment of prostatitis. For this purpose, fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, macrolides, etc.
It is important to consult a doctor to choose antibiotics wisely. In this case, if bacterial flora is suspected, an analysis is performed to determine the type of pathogen. At the same time, its sensitivity to existing active substances is determined. It is only on this basis that this or that drug is preferred.
It should be noted that the symptoms of chronic prostatitis are usually mild. For this reason, the patient and the doctor have the opportunity to wait for the analysis results and choose an antibiotic that will give a guaranteed effect. Antibiotics should be prescribed only by a doctor and after conducting the necessary studies.
Fluoroquinolones for prostatitis
These antibiotics have many advantages:
- rapid attainment of high concentrations in tissues;
- minimal number of side effects;
- efficacy of both oral and parenteral forms;
- excellent bioavailability.
An important feature is that drugs in this group have a long-term effect. After reception, the active substance is released within 24 hours. For this reason, the concentration of the substance is maintained until the next dose.
Synthetic broad-spectrum antibacterial drugs are especially often used for treatment. They have the most obvious effect in the presence of intracellular infection. In addition, this special group of drugs should be prescribed for prostatitis, which occurs as a complication of a sexually transmitted disease. Fluoroquinolone drugs have almost no side effects and are well absorbed
All fluoroquinolones, without exception, show high efficiency in the treatment of typical infections. The only downside 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. Generally, fluoroquinolones are taken at 500-1000 milligrams per day.
Tetracycline drugs
Often, a synthetic antibacterial agent is prescribed to treat a disease, the main feature of the drug is the ability to penetrate the glandular tissue that accumulates in the maximum amount. Moreover, such drugs are affordable and available in a wide selection of release forms.
Antibacterial drugs are ineffective against some enterococci. For this reason, they are prescribed only after sensitivity has been determined.
To treat the pathology, the 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 mycoplasmas, 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 also 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 halved.
When using macrolides, it should be taken into account that these drugs have not been fully studied. At the same time, it is known that they are low-toxic, quickly accumulate in the tissues of the gland and effectively fight against a large number of bacteria.
Medicines of other groups
To treat inflammation, you can use a combination kit containing an antifungal drug, an antibiotic, and an antibacterial drug with antiprotozoal activity. This medicine is very important for men and has shown high effectiveness in the treatment of prostatitis. A blister contains between 6 and 15 tablets of various drugs. They are selected in a daily dose and taken all at the same time.
The antifungal agent is effective against most prostatitis pathogens
This composition is effective against Trichomonas, anaerobes, Gardinella, mycoplasma, etc. allows to eliminate inflammation while identifying pathogens such asBut what is especially useful is that this antibiotic is effective in the presence of Candida fungi.
According to WHO requirements, this is an ideal drug for the treatment of prostatitis. When used, the effectiveness reaches 95% even in advanced prostatitis with stable microflora. At the same time, the antibiotic has minimal toxicity, is easily tolerated, is easy to use according to one dose, and also causes minimal resistance in microorganisms.
Indications for the use of such an antibiotic are uncomplicated prostatitis, inflammation caused by STI, as well as the combination of prostatitis with urethritis. In the absence of obvious symptoms, a single application is sufficient. In men with frequent relapses, a five-day course of the full dose is required.
Treatment standards
Experts from many countries are working on creating an effective method for the treatment of recurrent prostatitis. Most men tend to believe that the treatment period should be at least two weeks. After that, the patient's condition and test results are evaluated. As a rule, therapy continues after that. In general, the course should be at least 4-6 weeks.
To cope with prostatitis, you need to follow the prescribed regimen and course of therapy.
In the chronic form of prostatitis, antibiotics in tablets and capsules are preferred. In this case, the dosage should be as high as possible. This is the only way to get lasting results.
The hidden form of prostatitis is considered separately. In most cases, laboratory analysis does not detect bacterial flora, but this does not guarantee its absence. This explains the fact that pelvic pain syndrome disappears and the general condition improves when men use antibiotics.
At the same time, it is necessary to remember that it is simply impossible to create a special treatment regimen for the disease. This is explained by the individual characteristics of patients and various forms of pathology. Therefore, you should not take antibiotics that have shown excellent results in other men. Only a doctor can choose the most suitable treatment option in your case.
