Prostatitis is the most common male disease in urology, which is not easy to cure. Be sure to appoint a set of measures aimed at reducing pain, normalizing the process of urination and returning the normal size of the prostate. Treatment includes medication, special massage, physiotherapy. Tablets are selected depending on the form of prostatitis.
Tablets for different types of prostatitis
If bacteria are the cause of the disease, then antibiotics are prescribed. Tablets with a wide sector of action are considered relevant:
- cephalosporins;
- penicillins;
- fluoroquinols.
The first group of drugs is administered mainly by injection. The second and third groups are available in the form of tablets.
In acute prostatitis, it is first necessary to reduce pain and prescribe the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Baralgin is often recommended for pain relief. If treatment occurs at home, it is prescribed in tablets. In the hospital, injections are more often administered.
The viral form of prostatitis is quite rare. It usually develops in people with very weak immunity. The herpes virus, influenza, papillomavirus leads to illness. In addition to drugs that improve blood circulation, antiviral tablets are prescribed. It is obligatory to take drugs and vitamins that increase immunity.
Groups of medicines for the treatment of prostatitis
pain pills
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.
Additionally, analgesics are prescribed. They relieve pain for only a few hours, so constant use is required. The above drugs solve a different problem - they normalize the condition of the compressed urethra, inflamed and enlarged prostate gland. If the effect should be as fast as possible, for example, with severe pain, then it is better to use candles. They act more quickly.
If it is necessary to relax the muscles of the perineum, muscle relaxants are prescribed.
Improvement of blood circulation
Tablets to improve blood circulation are almost always prescribed, since congestion often becomes the cause of prostatitis. They do not allow the body to fully recover, do not allow antibacterial drugs to act at full strength. Therefore, an angioprotector 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 tablets and other forms of release of medicines aimed at relaxing the smooth muscles of the urethra and bladder neck. The course of taking adrenoblockers is quite long, but you need to remember that such pills are not aimed at treatment, but at eliminating unpleasant symptoms. Especially effective in chronic urinary retention.
5-alpha reductase inhibitors may also be used for treatment. The action of these drugs is aimed at reducing the volume of the prostate and increasing the strength of urine 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 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 has returned 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 in the smear, clinical signs and patient complaints of pain. Depending on this, a man should take antibacterial, 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 drugs that allow you to deal with prostatitis. But only a few are right for you. You can not prescribe treatment yourself. This can cause sexual dysfunction, which will not be easy to deal with in the future.
