Prostatitis is the most common male disease in urology, which is not easy to cure. Be sure to name a set of measures aimed at reducing pain, normalizing the urination process and returning the prostate to normal size. Treatment includes medication, special massage, physical therapy. Pills are selected depending on the form of prostatitis.
Pills for different types of prostatitis
If bacteria are the cause of the illness, antibiotics are prescribed. Tablets with a broad sector of action are considered relevant:
- cephalosporins;
- penicillins;
- fluoroquinols.
The first group of drugs is mainly administered by injection. The second and third groups are available in tablet form.
In acute prostatitis, it is first necessary to reduce the pain and prescribe the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Baralgin is often recommended for pain relief. If treatment takes place at home, it is prescribed in tablets. In the hospital, injections are most often given.
The viral form of prostatitis is quite rare. It usually develops in people with very weak immunity. Herpes virus, influenza, papillomavirus leads to the disease. In addition to drugs that improve blood circulation, antiviral pills are prescribed. It is mandatory to take medicines and vitamins that increase immunity.
Drug groups for the treatment of prostatitis
painkillers
Basically, they are needed in the acute form of the disease. Antispasmodics are used, which relax the smooth muscles of blood vessels, increase blood microcirculation. This reduces inflammation and acts as a pain reliever.
Also, pain relievers are prescribed. They relieve pain for just a few hours, so constant use is required. The above drugs solve a different problem - they normalize the condition of a compressed urethra, an inflamed and enlarged prostate. If the effect should be as soon as possible, for example, with severe pain, it is better to use candles. They act faster.
If it is necessary to relax the muscles of the perineum, muscle relaxants are prescribed.
Improved blood circulation
Pills to improve blood circulation are almost always prescribed, as congestion often becomes the cause of prostatitis. They don't allow the body to fully recover, they don't allow antibacterial drugs to work at full force. Therefore, an angioprotectant is prescribed, which improves microcirculation and the supply of oxygen to all cells. Increases the elasticity of platelets and erythrocytes.
alpha - blockers
This group of drugs includes pills and other drug delivery forms designed to relax the smooth muscles of the urethra and bladder neck. The course of taking adrenoblockers is quite long, but you need to remember that these pills are not aimed at treatment, but at eliminating unpleasant symptoms. Especially effective in chronic urinary retention.
5-alpha reductase inhibitors can also be used for treatment. The action of these drugs is aimed at reducing the volume of the prostate and increasing the strength of the urinary flow. Often used in chronic forms, taken for at least six months.
homeopathic remedies
Homeopathy is unlikely to help with the acute form of prostatitis, but it may act as an additional treatment for the chronic form or for prevention. The most suitable drug will be selected by a specialist.
Features of taking pills
A man must complete the course of treatment. The absence of symptoms does not mean that the prostate is back to normal. If this is not done, the inflammation will become chronic.
Medications are selected only after the examination. The doctor takes into account the presence of microflora on the smear, clinical signs and pain complaints of the patient. Depending on this, a man should do antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment. Recently, bioregulatory peptides are often prescribed for recovery after treatment. They improve the regeneration of prostate cells.
There is a wide variety of medications that can help you deal with prostatitis. But only a few are suitable for you. You cannot prescribe treatment alone. This can cause sexual dysfunction, which will not be easy to deal with in the future.
