Prostatitis is the most common male disease in urology, which is not easy to cure. Be sure to determine a set of measures aimed at reducing pain, normalizing the process of urination and restoring the normal size of the prostate. Treatment includes drugs, special massage, physiotherapy. Tablets are chosen 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 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 the treatment takes place at home, it is prescribed in tablets. Injections are given more often in the hospital.
The viral form of prostatitis is quite rare. It usually develops in people with very weak immunity. Herpes virus, influenza, papilloma virus lead to disease. In addition to drugs that improve blood circulation, antiviral tablets are also prescribed. It is mandatory to take medicines and vitamins that strengthen immunity.
Groups of drugs for the treatment of prostatitis
pain pills
Basically, they are needed in the acute form of the disease. Antispasmodics are used that relax the smooth muscles of blood vessels, increase blood microcirculation. This reduces inflammation and acts as a pain reliever.
Analgesics are additionally prescribed. They relieve pain for only a few hours, so constant use is required. The above-mentioned drugs solve a different problem - they normalize the condition of the compressed urethra, inflamed and enlarged prostate. If the effect should be as fast as possible, for example, with severe pain, then it is better to use candles. They work faster.
If it is necessary to relax the muscles of the perineum, muscle relaxants are prescribed.
Improving blood circulation
Tablets are almost always prescribed to improve blood circulation, as congestion often becomes the cause of prostatitis. They do not allow the body to fully recover, they do not allow antibacterial drugs to work at full strength. This is why an angioprotector is prescribed, which improves microcirculation and oxygen supply to all cells. It increases the elasticity of platelets and erythrocytes.
Alpha - blockers
This group of drugs includes tablets and other forms of drug release aimed at relaxing the smooth muscles of the urethra and bladder neck. The course of taking adrenoblockers is quite long, but you must remember that such tablets are not aimed at treatment, but at the elimination of 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 urine flow. Often used in chronic forms, it is taken for at least six months.
homeopathic medicines
Homeopathy is unlikely to help with the acute form of prostatitis, but it can act as an additional treatment for the chronic form or for prevention. The most appropriate drug will be chosen by a specialist.
Characteristics of taking tablets
The man must complete a 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.
Medicines are chosen only after examination. The doctor takes into account the presence of microflora in the swab, clinical signs and complaints of pain from patients. Depending on that, the 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 cope with prostatitis. But only a few are right for you. You cannot prescribe treatment yourself. This can cause sexual dysfunction, which will not be easy to deal with in the future.
