Prostatitis is considered to be the most common reason why men visit a urologist.The problem is not in the burning process itself, but in the consequences.Men seek help late, which is why the disease turns into a chronic phase and causes complications.Therefore, it is necessary to go to a specialist on time, at the first symptoms.The doctor will immediately prescribe medication, which should be administered during the course.
What is included in the therapy
Treatment of prostatitis with drugs should be carried out in a complex manner.The whole scheme includes several groups of drugs that help to cope with the disease, acting on several areas at once.The course of treatment consists of 6 types of drugs:
- Antibacterial agents.
- Hormonal drugs.
- Alpha adrenergic blockers.
- Muscle relaxants.
- Rectal suppositories.
- Products that strengthen the immune system.
However, it is worth knowing that the treatment of prostatitis with drugs is different for each man.Each procedure is selected individually by a urologist.It is strictly forbidden to self-medicate, because ignorance of medicines can cause serious health problems.
Drug treatment
If prostatitis in men occurs without symptoms, then antibacterial therapy will be questionable.The duration of therapy should be at least one month, after which it is extended for another month.If there is no effect, then the doctor can change the regimen and remove antibiotics from it.They are replaced by herbal extracts or alpha-blockers.
During the empiric course of treatment, fluoroquinolones are prescribed.They have high bioavailability and rapid penetration into the prostate mucosa.They also have the advantage of being active against gram-negative organisms, chlamydia.Indicators after treatment of chronic prostatitis do not change if we are talking about a specific drug.Positive results can be observed only after an integrated approach to the disease.
It is recommended to take antibacterial drugs as prevention and treatment of bacterial inflammation.
If there is a repeated relapse, the doctor can prescribe a preliminary treatment of prostatitis with drugs that have the ability to destroy bacteria, but the doses are usually lower.If antibacterial drugs have no effect, it means that they were chosen incorrectly or there are bacteria in men's bodies that are immune to this type of drug.
When are antibiotics needed?
Prostatitis usually occurs for two reasons.In the first case, it is the penetration of harmful elements, in the second, a disruption of blood flow in the pelvic organs.Antibiotics for prostatitis are especially useful if the disease is caused by bacteria.If there are no antibacterial drugs in the complex regimen, the inflammatory process will not decrease and the symptoms will remain.
The course of pills for each man is selected individually and the general specific scheme is calculated.In the acute phase of prostatitis, neglecting antibiotics can lead to complications.As a rule, it is about adenoma and impotence.If the disturbed flora is not normalized, it can spread to other organs and cause pyelonephritis or cystitis.It turns out that prostatitis, which the man has not fully cured, causes not only kidney problems, but also urolithiasis.
It is worth knowing that drugs for inflammation of the prostate are necessary;without them, the treatment will not bring any results.Moreover, the disease can cause pathological processes in the pelvis.If one of the men often experiences exacerbations and does not turn to a specialist, then he risks facing negative consequences in the future.
Rules for prescribing medicines
Medicines are prescribed immediately after the man comes to the urologist and explains his problem to him.This especially applies to the acute phase of the inflammatory process.This means that the doctor will not wait for the tests and will immediately prescribe the necessary treatment regimen.The following scheme is selected for the first few days:
- drugs from the macrolide group;
- aminoglycosides;
- fluoroquinolones.
The most effective drug therapy is chosen after receiving the test results
Erythromycins are prescribed less often because they cannot destroy bacteria en masse.After taking the tests, it takes several days before the results are brought to the specialist.After studying them, the doctor chooses treatment or prescribes a more modern and unique medicine.This applies only to inflammation that occurs in a mild form.
Age in men should also be taken into account.His diseases at the time of examination and allergies will be an indicator for adjusting the course of treatment.In turn, the man must tell the doctor about the drugs he has recently taken or is currently using.It is worth noting that if a man took antibiotics a few days before prostatitis, then there is a high risk that similar drugs will not help him in the process of treating prostate inflammation.
In addition to the universal scheme, the doctor has a "rainy day scheme".It is used when there is no effect from the prescribed course.Such a scheme has a powerful effect on the body.They will be prescribed only when conservative treatment does not help at all.Repeated tests usually show no effect.
If strong antibiotics are identified, it is advisable to use them in injections, and it is advisable to be in the hospital at that time.For treatment at home, antibiotic capsules are chosen for men, the dose and time of which is carefully prescribed by the doctor.Of course, the treatment of prostatitis with drugs requires compliance with several recommendations.Medicines need to be taken for a certain number of days, usually around 2 weeks.Then the antibiotics are stopped or slightly extended.
The entire prescribed scheme must be followed to the letter.When the treatment is stopped, positive "spots" begin to form, through which the infection passes into the chronic stage.3 days should pass from the beginning of therapy to the elimination of symptoms.If the signs of prostatitis do not disappear within the expected period, you should immediately go to the doctor and review the treatment regimen.
After adequate treatment, men's quality of life is significantly normalized.Pain and discomfort during urination disappear.With universal therapy, the symptoms practically do not disappear.As a rule, painful spasms remain (75%) and difficulty emptying the bladder (70%).Ejaculation is unpleasant for 40% of men.If there is no immunomodulator in the regimen, prostatitis will return again, so its presence in therapy is mandatory.Without it, the signs of the disease are practically at rest.
