Prostatitis is the most common male disease in urology, which is not easy to cure. Be sure to appoint a number of measures aimed at reducing pain, normalizing the urination process and restoring the normal size of the prostate. Treatment includes medications, special massages, physiotherapy. Tablets are selected based on the form of prostatitis.
Tablets for different types of prostatitis
If bacteria are the cause of the disease, antibiotics are prescribed. Tablets with a wide range of action are considered relevant:
- 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 first necessary to reduce pain and prescribe the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Baralgin is often recommended for pain relief. If the treatment takes place 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 herpes virus, the flu, the papillomavirus leads to the disease. In addition to drugs that improve blood circulation, antiviral tablets are prescribed. It is mandatory to take drugs and vitamins that increase immunity.
Groups of medicines for the treatment of prostatitis
pain pills
Basically, they are needed 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.
In addition, analgesics are prescribed. They only relieve pain for a few hours, so constant use is required. The above drugs solve a different problem - they normalize the condition of the compressed urethra, inflamed and enlarged prostate gland. If the effect should be as fast as possible, for example, with severe pain, it is better to use candles. They act faster.
If it is necessary to relax the muscles of the perineum, muscle relaxants are prescribed.
Improvement of blood circulation
Tablets for improving blood circulation are almost always prescribed, as congestion often becomes the cause of prostatitis. They do not allow the body to fully recover, they do not allow antibacterial drugs to work at full capacity. Therefore, an angioprotector is prescribed, which improves microcirculation and oxygen supply to all cells. Increases the elasticity of platelets and erythrocytes.
Alpha - blockers
This group of drugs includes tablets and other forms of release of medicines aimed at relaxing the smooth muscles of the urethra and bladder neck. The course of taking adrenoblockers is quite long, but it should be remembered that such pills are not aimed at treatment, but at the elimination of unpleasant symptoms. Particularly 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 urine stream. Often used in chronic forms, taken for at least six months.
homeopathic remedies
Homeopathy is unlikely to help with the acute form of prostatitis, but it can serve as an additional treatment for the chronic form or for prevention. The most suitable drug will be selected by a specialist.
Features of taking pills
A man must complete the course of treatment. The absence of symptoms does not mean that the prostate is back to normal. Otherwise, the inflammation will become chronic.
Medicines are selected only after the examination. The doctor takes into account the presence of microflora in the smear, clinical signs and patient complaints about pain. Depending on this, a man should take antibacterial and 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 deal with prostatitis. But only a few are suitable for you. You cannot prescribe a treatment on your own. This can cause sexual dysfunction, which will not be easy to deal with in the future.
