Prostatitis is the most common male disease in urology, which is not easy to treat. Do not forget to appoint a set of measures aimed at reducing pain, normalizing the process of urination 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 suitable:
- cephalosporins;
- penicillins;
- fluoroquinols.
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 necessary to first reduce the 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. The virus of herpes, influenza, papilloma virus leads to disease. In addition to drugs that improve blood circulation, antiviral tablets are prescribed. It is mandatory to take medicines and vitamins that increase immunity.
Groups of drugs for the treatment of prostatitis
pain pills
In principle, 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.
Analgesics are also prescribed. They relieve pain for only a few hours, so constant use is necessary. The above drugs solve another problem - they normalize the condition of the compressed urethra, the inflamed and enlarged prostate gland. If the effect should be as fast as possible, for example, in 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, since congestion often becomes the cause of prostatitis. They do not allow the body to fully recover, they do not allow antibacterial drugs to work in full force. Therefore, an angioprotector is prescribed, which improves microcirculation and the supply of all cells with oxygen. 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 pills are not aimed at treatment, but at eliminating 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 the flow of urine. Often used in chronic forms, it is taken for at least six months.
homeopathic medicines
Homeopathy is unlikely to help with an acute form of prostatitis, but it can act as an additional treatment for the chronic form or for prevention. The most suitable drug will be selected by a specialist.
Characteristics of taking pills
One 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.
Medicines are selected only after an examination. The doctor takes into account the presence of microflora in the smear, clinical signs and the patient's complaints of pain. Depending on this, 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.
