Prostatitis is the most common male disease in urology, which is not easy to cure. Be sure to prescribe a series of measures aimed at reducing pain, normalizing the urination process and returning the prostate to its normal size. Treatment includes medication, special massage, physiotherapy. Tablets are selected depending on the form of prostatitis.
Tablets for different types of prostatitis
If the cause of the disease is bacteria, then antibiotics are prescribed. Tablets with a wide sector of action are considered important:
- cephalosporins;
- penicillins;
- fluoroquinolones.
The first group of drugs is mainly administered 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 the treatment is carried out at home, it is prescribed in tablets. In the hospital, injections are given more often.
The viral form of prostatitis is quite rare. It usually develops in people with very weak immunity. Herpes virus, influenza, papillomavirus lead to disease. In addition to drugs that improve blood circulation, antiviral tablets are prescribed. It is mandatory to take drugs and vitamins that increase immunity.
Groups of drugs for the treatment of prostatitis
pain pills
Basically, they are necessary 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.
In addition, analgesics are prescribed. They relieve pain only for a few hours, so continuous use is required. The above drugs solve another 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 faster.
If it is necessary to relax the muscles of the perineum, muscle relaxants are prescribed.
Improving 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 heal, they do not allow antibacterial drugs to act in full force. Therefore, an angioprotector is prescribed, which improves microcirculation and oxygen supply to all cells. It increases the elasticity of platelets and erythrocytes.
Alpha - blocker
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 pills are not intended to treat, but to eliminate unpleasant symptoms. Particularly 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 power of urine flow. It is 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 chosen 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 is back 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 spot, clinical signs and the patient's complaints of pain. Depending on this, a man should receive 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.
