Often, doctors at the initial stage prescribe treatment for prostatitis with drugs, when an inflammatory process in the prostate gland in men is diagnosed. Indeed, the therapy is quite laborious and time-consuming. Prescribing drugs is carried out exclusively by a specialist based on the symptoms and diagnostic indicators.
How to understand that the prostate is inflamed?
Inflammation of the prostate gland develops rapidly, and you can understand the disease when unpleasant symptoms appear:
- decreased sexual desire;
- rapid onset of ejaculation;
- a constant feeling of fullness in the bladder;
- and the appearance of discomfort during bowel movements, painful sensations in the perineum;
- the onset of an uncontrolled slow erection;
- discharge of urine in a thin intermittent stream;
- constant fatigue for no reason;
- an increase in temperature of up to 41 degrees with the addition of bacteria.
It is important to identify the form of the disease provoking factors before starting treatment. For example, in case of stagnation and damage from harmful bacteria, the treatment is mainly with antibiotics in order to suppress harmful microflora. The main thing for prostatitis is to choose the most effective drugs.
Medicines, forms of release
Drug treatment of prostatitis involves many drugs with different forms of release. But it is important to understand that one or another form is prescribed taking into account the stage, form, types of development of the disease, existing symptoms and contraindications for use.
Among all known groups of drugs are used:
- solutions for setting microcyclists to suppress the inflammatory process;
- tablets, especially antibiotics, as a form of drugs in the treatment of inflammation of the prostate gland;
- rectal suppositories with direct action on the affected lesions;
- injections in injections, as a fast-acting form of drug to suppress the inflammatory process in prostatitis.
Many men complain of mental and nervous system disorders that require recovery. It is prostatitis that comes for the stronger sex as a blow below the waist, while the erection deteriorates sharply and the potency is noticeably reduced. Men begin to be in a state of stress, problems appear in the personal sphere.
Tranquilizers or antihistamines will come to the rescue to relieve swelling and inflammation, although doses and courses of treatment should not be neglected to avoid side effects and a sharp deterioration of the situation. In addition, many are interested in how to treat prostatitis in men with drugs and what is better to take: pills or suppositories? The introduction of suppositories involves a close position with the prostate gland. However, suppositories are safer, do not affect the stomach, quickly dissolve in the rectum and are redirected through the bloodstream to the injury site. The effectiveness comes after 20 minutes.
If you no longer have the strength to endure pain, you can get rid of the problem with pills, even if the funds get into the stomach and splitting occurs in the liver, when many useful substances have already lost their effect. The tablets work much later, after 40-45 minutes. Therefore, it is better to choose rectal suppositories for the treatment and prevention of prostatitis, prostate adenoma.
Prescribed drugs
It is important to direct drug treatment to suppress the source of the inflammatory focus.
Drugs are prescribed exclusively by a specialist, taking into account the features of the course of the inflammatory process, the type of disease, the degree and stage of development of prostatitis:
- Antibiotics are prescribed when pathogenic bacteria are detected, an acute course of the disease with a course of therapy of 6 weeks - 2 months.
- Macrolides in the chronic course of the disease.
- Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs with direct action on the source of inflammation.
- Decongestants, pain medications for excessive swelling of the prostate, painful urination.
- Hormonal agents with decreased erectile function to restore and normalize the endocrine system.
- Adrenergic blockers for urination problems to normalize the outflow of urine, relieve inflammation and pain when urinating.
- Rectal suppositories with the purpose of acting directly on the inflammatory source to suppress negative processes. These are the safest drugs that cannot reduce liver and kidney functions, but they do a great job of dealing with harmful microbes. Suppositories are an excellent addition to antibiotics in case of weakened immunity to suppress harmful microflora, when strong antibiotics also kill beneficial flora in the body. Suppositories are considered safer and more effective.
- Immunomodulators to enhance local immunity.
- Muscle relaxants to suppress pain, normalize blood flow in the prostate gland, completely drain the outflow.
- Painkillers for cuts at the exit of urine, severe pain with a form of release in injections, tablets.
- Sedatives to restore the nervous system, relieve overexcitation, calm down. In many men, prostatitis clearly affects the psyche and does not affect the nervous system in the best way.
- Tranquilizers for pronounced mental disorders in order to increase potency, normalize blood circulation and urinary process.
- Decongestant antihistamines to relieve swelling of the prostate tissue.
On a note! Some tranquilizers are addictive, so it is not recommended to violate the dosage and duration of administration. According to doctors, it is best to use a liquid form of drugs with a quick effect on the source of pain. Suppositories can be used in the form of enemas, when ingesting the composition into the urethra quickly suppresses pain.
Only complex treatment will become more effective and recovery will be faster. In addition, the behavior of a physiotherapy course and taking folk remedies at home will not be superfluous. It should be understood that if you do not start treatment with drugs on time, the disease will quickly turn into a chronic stage. In the absence of an erection in the morning, clear signs of a violation of potency, pain in the lower abdomen, you should immediately contact a urologist. Without knowledge, you should not prescribe independent drug treatment of prostatitis with unknown drugs, resort to lethal doses in an attempt to recover faster. Then relief will not come, but other health problems and serious complications will appear.
Important! Improper treatment can lead to serious consequences: adenoma, prostate cancer, the transition of the disease into a chronic form
