Prostatitis is the most common male disease in urology, which is not easy to cure. Be sure to prescribe a series of measures to reduce pain, normalize the urination process, and restore the prostate to its normal size. Treatment includes medication, special massage, and physiotherapy. The pills are selected depending on the form of prostatitis.
Tablets for various types of prostatitis
If the disease is caused by bacteria, antibiotics are prescribed. Tablets with a wide range of action are relevant:
- cephalosporins;
- penicillins;
- fluoroquinolones.
The first group of drugs is mainly administered by injection. The second and third groups are available in tablet form.
In the case of acute prostatitis, the pain must first be reduced and the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs prescribed. Baralgin is often recommended for pain relief. If the treatment is done at home, it is prescribed in tablets. Injections are given more often in the hospital.
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 medicines that improve blood circulation, antiviral tablets are prescribed. Taking immunity-boosting drugs and vitamins is mandatory.
Drug groups for the treatment of prostatitis
pain pills
Basically, they are needed in the acute form of the disease. They use antispasmodics that relax the smooth muscles of blood vessels and increase blood microcirculation. This reduces inflammation and acts as a pain reliever.
In addition, pain relievers are prescribed. They only relieve pain for a few hours, so continuous use is necessary. The above drugs solve another problem - they normalize the condition of the compressed urethra, inflamed and enlarged prostate. If the effect should be as fast as possible, for example, in case of severe pain, then it is better to use candles. They act faster.
If the muscles of the perineum need to be relaxed, muscle relaxants are prescribed.
Improving blood circulation
Blood circulation pills are almost always prescribed, as congestion is often the cause of prostatitis. They do not allow the body to fully recover, they do not allow the full power of antibacterial drugs. Therefore, an angioprotector is prescribed, which improves microcirculation and oxygenation of all cells. It increases the flexibility of platelets and erythrocytes.
Alpha blockers
This group of drugs includes tablets and other forms of release of drugs, which are intended to relax the smooth muscles of the urethra and bladder neck. The process of taking adrenoblockers is quite long, but you need to remember that such pills are not aimed at treatment, but at eliminating unpleasant symptoms. It is especially effective in cases of chronic urinary retention.
5-alpha reductase inhibitors can also be used for treatment. The effect of these drugs is to reduce the volume of the prostate and increase the flow of urine. It is often used chronically for at least six months.
homeopathic remedies
It is unlikely that homeopathy will help in the acute form of prostatitis, but it can serve as an additional treatment in the chronic form or as a prevention. The most suitable medicine is selected by a specialist.
Features of taking tablets
The man must finish the cure. The absence of symptoms does not mean that the prostate has returned to normal. If this does not happen, the inflammation becomes chronic.
Medicines are selected only after the examination. The doctor takes into account the presence of microflora in the smear, the clinical symptoms and the patient's painful complaints. Depending on this, the man must undergo antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment. Recently, bioregulatory peptides are often prescribed for recovery after treatment. They improve the regeneration of prostate cells.
There are many types of drugs that allow you to treat prostatitis. But only a few are right for you. You cannot prescribe treatment yourself. This can cause sexual dysfunctions that will not be easy to treat in the future.
