The advisability of prescribing these drugs for the treatment of a latent form is determined by the test results. The presence of bacterial flora can be indicated by the dependent number of leukocytes and the identification of microorganisms in the secretion of the gland or in the pyospermia. The choice of antibiotics for prostatitis is made after testing secretions or semen
Choice 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 tissue of the gland. This is the main selection criterion for the treatment of prostatitis. For this purpose, fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, macrolides, etc. are prescribed.
To choose antibiotics wisely, it is important to consult a doctor. In this situation, if a bacterial flora is suspected, an analysis is done to identify the type of pathogen. At the same time, its sensitivity to existing active substances is determined. Only on this basis is preference given to one or another drug.
It is important to note that the symptoms of chronic prostatitis are usually mild. For this reason, the patient and the doctor have the opportunity to wait for the results of the tests and choose an antibiotic that will have 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 achievement of high concentrations in tissues;
- minimal number of side effects;
- effectiveness of oral and parenteral forms;
- excellent bioavailability.
An important feature is that drugs of this group have a prolonged effect. After ingestion, the active substance is released within 24 hours. For this reason, the concentration of the substance is maintained until the next dose.
Broad-spectrum synthetic antibacterial drugs are especially often used for treatment. They show the most pronounced effect in the presence of intracellular infection. In addition, this particular group of drugs should be prescribed for prostatitis that occurs as a complication of a sexually transmitted disease. The group of fluoroquinolone drugs has almost no side effects and is well absorbed
All fluoroquinolones, without exception, show high efficiency in the treatment of typical infections. The only drawback 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 dose depends directly 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
Very often, a synthetic antibacterial agent is prescribed to treat a disease; the main feature of the drug is its ability to penetrate the tissue of the glands, being accumulated 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 mycoplasma, chlamydia and other infections. They are easily tolerated and have high activity. It is used in a dose of no more than two hundred milligrams per day.
Together with known drugs, macrolides are 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 reduced by half.
When using macrolides, it is important to keep in mind that these drugs have not been fully studied. At the same time, it is known that they are low toxic, accumulate quickly in the tissue of the gland and effectively deal with a large number of bacteria.
Drugs 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 medication is very important for men and has also shown high efficiency in the treatment of prostatitis. A blister contains from 6 to 15 tablets of different drugs. They are selected in the daily dose and taken all at the same time.
The antifungal agent is effective against most pathogens of prostatitis
This composition makes it possible to eliminate inflammation when pathogens such as Trichomonas, anaerobes, Gardinella, mycoplasma, etc. are identified. But what is particularly 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 the presence of advanced prostatitis with stable microflora. At the same time, the antibiotic has minimal toxicity, is easily tolerated, is easy to use due to a single dose and also causes a minimal degree of resistance in microorganisms.
Indications for the use of such an antibiotic are uncomplicated prostatitis, inflammation caused by STIs, as well as the combination of prostatitis with urethritis. In the absence of pronounced symptoms, a single application is sufficient. In men with frequent relapses, a five-day course of the full dose is required.
Standards of treatment
Specialists from a large number of countries are working to create an effective method for the treatment of recurrent prostatitis. Most are inclined to believe that in men the duration of treatment 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 must adhere to the prescribed regimen and course of therapy.
In the chronic form of prostatitis, antibiotics in tablets and capsules are preferred. In this case, the dose should be as high as possible. This is the only way to achieve lasting results.
The latent 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 with the use of antibiotics in men, pelvic pain syndrome is eliminated and the general condition improves.
At the same time, it is important to remember that it is simply impossible to create a specific treatment regimen for the disease. This is explained by the individual characteristics of patients and the variety of forms of pathology. This is why you should not take antibiotics yourself, which have shown excellent results in other men. Only a doctor can choose the most suitable treatment option in your particular case.
