Prostate adenoma and prostatitis are two diseases that cause a real anxiety attack in men. These "male" pathologies are not absolute analogues, although in both cases the prostate gland is affected, and you should take medication to treat prostatitis and prostate adenoma, use additional methods of therapy, and prescribe surgery for complications. However, when we talk about adenoma, we mean a benign neoplasm, while prostatitis is an inflammatory process that appears in the prostate.
Both diseases are mainly diagnosed in men aged 45 or 50, while many men mistakenly believe that adenoma is a complication of prostatitis. This misunderstanding is often based on the similarity of symptoms - both pathologies are associated with difficulty urinating and pain. The treatment has some fundamental similarities and differences.
Principles of disease therapy
Consider the main stages of therapy for prostate adenoma and prostatitis. In both cases, the treatment must be comprehensive, which will make it more effective. Acute prostatitis in men can be cured with the help of antimicrobial therapy using drugs with a wide range of effects, anti-inflammatory drugs and taking desensitizing drugs. If an abscess is suspected, an opening of the source of a purulent inflammatory process is described.
Drug treatment is designed to stabilize the patient's condition by lowering the temperature, stopping inflammation, and returning the general condition to normal. The doctor confirms the need to remove the abscess with rectal and instrumental examination, laboratory tests. After the autopsy, a drain is placed in the hospital to drain the pus. After the prostate is released from the pus, the inflammatory processes stop, drainage is removed, after which the wound heals within about a week.
Chronic prostatitis in men requires a much longer treatment time against the background of changes in lifestyle and usual diet. The main goal of therapy is to eliminate congestion. To do this, use:
- Taking antimicrobial medication, which will take two to eight weeks.
- Tools that improve blood circulation.
- Prescription of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
- Application of physiotherapeutic methods - magnetotherapy and laser treatment. The use of ultrasound, reflexology and hirudotherapy is also recommended.
- Gland massage.
Modern therapeutic methods guarantee the establishment of a fairly stable remission, the duration of which can be years, and with a successful coincidence of circumstances, complete recovery.
When a prostate adenoma is detected in the early stages of development, the most effective treatment is medication. Similar to prostate therapy in men, physiotherapy, diet therapy, and lifestyle adjustment are prescribed. The purpose of taking medication is to slow down the growth and reduce the volume of the gland, to reduce the severity of violations during urination, for which are used:
- Antimicrobial agents.
- Drugs that correct hormonal metabolism, which allows you to make the gland smaller.
- To stabilize the urination process, medications are recommended to improve the tone of the prostate and urethra.
- Vegetable capsules, the difficulty of working with which arises for the fact that their action is not fully understood.
- Photodynamic therapy is prescribed.
- Ozone therapy, exercise therapy
In both cases it is permissible to use folk remedies as an adjunct medicine after consulting the attending physician. Medications used for prostatitis and adenoma will work better against the background of rejection of addiction by the victim.
Use of antibiotics in the formation of prostatitis and glandular adenoma
Think about what medications you should take for prostatitis and prostate adenoma and start with antimicrobial agents. Antibiotic drugs for prostate adenoma are used only when the disease is joined by a bacterial infection, which is considered quite common. Antimicrobial drugs for prostatitis are among the main points of therapy. In either case, the following may be assigned:
- Penicillin group drugs. They come in the form of tablets, injections and oral suspensions.
- Substances of the tetracycline group.
- Cephalosporins. Essential medicines for prostatitis. They are prescribed when inflammation is provoked by gram-positive or gram-negative bacteria, anaerobic pathogens. Substances should be administered parenterally.
- Fluoroquinolones. They are prescribed in the presence of ureaplasma, chlamydia, gardnerella, staphylococcal or streptococcal pathogens, Escherichia coli or mycoplasma.
- Macrolide group. The advantage of funds is their low toxicity, moreover, they are able to accumulate in the prostate. Medicines are produced in tablets or solutions.
- Aminoglycosides. This is an excellent option if the causative agent of inflammation has not been identified or there are some of them.
Treatment with antimicrobial drugs for these diseases can remove many negative symptoms, but is associated with side effects. For the most part, this is a disruption of the digestive system and the formation of dysbiosis.
Inhibitor and blocker therapy
Among the remedies for prostatitis and prostate adenoma, α1-adrenergic blockers and inhibitors. The former have a relaxing effect on the muscle tissue of the prostate gland, due to which it is possible to quickly eliminate muscle spasm, which normalizes the process of urination, which is disturbed in 85%. Moreover, such medications can lead to a strong drop in blood pressure, which should be taken into account when prescribing.
For prostate adenoma, medications include 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. These funds are used more often, as they effectively prevent the development of pathology, help reduce the size of the prostate and contribute to the normalization of the urinary process. Inhibitors are very effective drugs, as after a course of therapy, over 50% of victims do not need surgery. An even greater effect is achieved with combined treatment methods, moreover, the results obtained are much more stable than with monotherapy.
Preparations for pain and inflammation in the prostate
Therapy for the pathologies under consideration includes the removal of pain and the elimination of inflammatory processes. The pain is particularly excruciating when the course of the disease worsens; antispasmodics help relieve it. They help relax the smooth muscles of the prostate gland and help improve blood circulation.
Inflammatory processes in the prostate gland are characteristic of prostatitis. If you neglect treatment, they will progress, accompanied by pain, impaired erectile function, urinary retention against the background of congested ducts. Often, when recommending how to treat prostatitis, doctors prescribe medications to relieve inflammation, which in many cases allows you to remove the negative symptoms.
A cheap and effective remedy for prostatitis can also be used, which is an anti-inflammatory, nonsteroidal, antipyretic agent. Any medication should be taken strictly according to the doctor's instructions and under his direct supervision.
Herbal preparations used in medicine
Medicines for adenoma, which have a noticeable positive effect - herbal medicines, among which stands out the extract taken from the Permikson palm.
It can be used:
- A drug that has a positive effect on the metabolism of the system, which is also a tonic. It contains sandalwood, sage, ginseng, ginger, cloves, calamus and other ingredients.
- A medicine that is a dietary supplement and contains over 40 ingredients, most of which are herbal.
- The drug is used as an antiseptic, analgesic and immunomodulatory with antipyretic and anti-inflammatory properties. The product contains burdock root, eldi bark and ash, juniper berries and bear leaves.
This is not a complete summary of the medicines that can be used to treat prostatitis and prostate adenoma. However, they should be prescribed exclusively by a doctor, which will avoid unpleasant and dangerous consequences.
