Prostatitis is the most common urological disease today. This is due to the fact that the factors that lead to the development of prostatitis are very common in men. In general, the treatment of prostatitis is a rather complex process that consists of a complex of procedures, medications, therapies, and massages. Antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, painkillers and immune-boosting agents help to achieve remission of the disease and avoid the painful symptoms of prostatitis.
Methods of pharmacological treatment of prostatitis
Several methods are usually recommended for the treatment of the prostate, namely:
- Candles.When administered rectally, it affects the metabolism of the prostate. It is recommended to lie down for 30-40 minutes after application. The course is 5-10 days. Contraindications: sensitivity to the components of the suppositories. Possible side effects: allergy (itching and burning).
- Injections against prostatitis.The drugs also stimulate the immune system and strengthen the vascular system.
- Instillations.This type of therapy allows the drug to be delivered directly to its destination - the drug is administered through the outer opening of the urethra. It is recommended that approximately 5 ml of the drug mixture be injected while emptying the bladder before the procedure.
- Microclysters.This method is often referred to as "folk" because of the use of infusions and decoctions derived from herbs commonly used in traditional medicine. It is based on simultaneous temperature and healing effects, which enhances its effectiveness. It is usually recommended to perform microclissis at bedtime - so that the prostate gland does not give in to tension and possible hypothermia after the procedure. Aqueous infusions of sage, calendula, chamomile and motherwort are used as medicine. The solution is injected into the rectum (up to a volume of 100 ml) where it should be aspirated. Microclysters are usually used in parallel with treatment with antibacterial drugs.
- Pills for the treatment of the prostate.Broad-spectrum antibacterial agents are most commonly used to treat a disease such as inflammation of the prostate, especially if the pathogen of the disease has not been identified. Such drugs can be divided into three groups: drugs of the tetracycline group, drugs of the penicillin series, and drugs belonging to the group of fluoroquinolones.
Antibiotics for the treatment of prostatitis
Let’s take a closer look at the last group of drugs for treating prostatitis.
Fluoroquinolones are modern, relatively recently developed antibacterial agents. As a result, they have quite a number of advantages over other broad-spectrum antibiotics. Drugs in this group have virtually no immunodeficiency in patients. Fluoroquinolones have an even wider effect on microorganisms.
Formulations in the tetracycline group are used to treat antibacterial prostatitis somewhat less frequently than fluoroquinolones. Generally, specialists prescribe antibiotics for chronic and infectious prostatitis. In a non-infectious form, the method of treatment remains controversial and not fully explored.
In the treatment of prostatitis, antibacterial medications are not prescribed immediately, but only after the patient is examined by the doctor for evidence of infection. During this period, symptomatic therapy is usually recommended to combat the symptoms of inflammatory processes and pain.
Antibiotic treatment lasts for about four weeks or more, with mandatory clinical monitoring of the patient's condition. In the absence of a positive treatment result, antibacterial medications are refused, but no earlier than two weeks after the start of the course.
After successful antibiotic therapy, the patient can achieve a sufficiently long state of health. Usually, however, painful feelings return over time, so treatment with antibacterial drugs alone is not considered sufficient. A therapeutic program aimed at increasing the body’s local and overall resistance to pathogenic factors achieves good results. In this case, you can expect success, or at least a long remission.
