Today, modern medicine can offer medications with a wide variety of therapeutic effects for the treatment of a disease called prostatitis. If we talk about the most complex and severe manifestations of this disease, they can be cured 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, approximately 3 out of 5 men aged 20 to 50 years suffer from prostatitis. Even starting at the age of 16-18, you can catch this disease, for example, with banal hypothermia of the pelvic area. 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 cure for prostatitis.
In the presence of infectious and non-infectious forms of the inflammatory process, a wide variety of types of drugs or their complex combinations are used. The choice of drugs is particularly influenced by the general condition of the patient, the presence of accompanying diseases and complications.
Types of therapeutic treatment depending on the form of the disease
Drugs for the treatment of prostatitis are available in a variety of pharmaceutical forms. These medications can be in the form of tablets, capsules, injections and rectal suppositories. Using these drugs in combination, you can get a faster positive result and almost complete recovery.
The complex of treatment procedures includes antibacterial therapy, prostate massage, immunostimulation and physiotherapy. Correcting the patient's lifestyle plays a major role in the treatment of prostate diseases.
Recently, traditional medicine has recognized traditional methods of combating prostatitis. Some medicinal preparations can be bought in ready 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 as an 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, elevated body temperature and chills. Very often there is pain in the hip area and lower back, and there is an increased urge to urinate. The process of urination is quite painful and is accompanied by the release of pus from the urethra.
Treatment of acute conditions- the use of prostatitis medications such as antibiotics. They have a fairly broad spectral activity and are able to penetrate 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 particularly advanced cases, with severe intoxication, urgent hospitalization is indicated, in the presence of severe complications, surgical intervention is recommended.
Chronic phase
Chronic inflammation of the gland is the result of an acute phase suffered without proper treatment, or of an incompletely cured acute course of the disease. Characteristic symptoms are annoying pain in the genital area, perineum or rectum. There may be a burning sensation during urination, worsening of sleep and irritability. Complications of chronic flow are male infertility, erectile dysfunction, inflammatory process of pelvic organs.
Treatment should be outpatient, but it lasts longer than in the acute form. Medicines for the treatment of the chronic form must be selected by a specialist strictly individually; the choice of the necessary drugs depends on the quality of the previous treatment and the sensitivity of the bacterial agents. In addition to antibiotics, immunomodulators, analgesics, physiotherapeutic procedures and prostate massage are used.
At this stage, medications such as rectal suppositories (suppositories) have found wide use. They effectively fight swelling of the gland, increase local immunity, improve blood microcirculation and inhibit pathogenic microorganisms. The most popular preparations are products based on an extract from the tissue of the prostate gland of bulls.
Very often, cases such as chronic asymptomatic prostatitis can be observed, which has no visible signs and appears latent in the body. The medical specialist knows what medicine to take in this case, but drugs with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects are most often recommended.
Preventive measures
After a course of antibiotic therapy for acute prostatitis, you should take medications aimed at fighting relapses and preventing chronicity.
For this purpose, herbal and immunocorrective preparations are prescribed. Prostate massage is quite effective as a preventive treatment.
In addition, you should adjust your lifestyle and exercise more often. Special gymnastics methods have been developed, which are designed to improve the functioning of the prostate gland and other organs of the genitourinary system. It is important to have a regular sexual partner and to have a normal sex life.
Therapy of acute and especially chronic stages of inflammation of the prostate gland is a rather long and financially costly process. It is often not possible to cure completely; the use of medications only helps to relieve symptoms and improve the patient's well-being. Therefore, the best treatment for prostatitis is preventive measures in time.
New methods of treatment
Modern methods of treatment do not stand still. More and more new drugs for inflammation of the prostate gland are being developed periodically. These include adrenergic blockers, they relieve spasms in the bladder, sphincter and the prostate itself, this promotes the free release of glandular secretions and also prevents blockage and swelling.
Sometimes female hormones are used to treat inflammatory processes in the prostate gland. They reduce the inflammation process and can cure it in combination with other medications.
To quickly get the desired effect from the treatment of any form of prostatitis, medications must be prescribed exclusively by a urologist-andrologist. After studying the patient's condition and passing all tests, identifying all diseases and possible associated complications, the specialist will create an individual physiotherapeutic and medicinal complex. Only compliance with all the specialist's recommendations allows patients to achieve complete recovery.
