Today, modern medicine can offer medicines with a wide range of therapeutic effects for the treatment of a disease called prostatitis. If we talk about even the most complex and serious manifestations of this disease, they can be cured if you follow all the doctor's prescriptions and undergo comprehensive treatment.
Prostatitis– the most common urological disease, which is an inflammatory process in the prostate gland. According to statistics, approximately 3 out of 5 men aged 20 to 50 suffer from prostatitis. Even from the age of 16-18, you can get this disease, for example, with banal hypothermia of the pelvic region. Complications of advanced forms of this disease include impotence, infertility, inflammatory diseases of other organs of the genitourinary system, as well as prostate cancer.
Since there are many reasons for the development of prostatitis, it is impossible to single out the most effective cure for prostatitis.
In the presence of infectious and non-infectious forms of the inflammatory process, the most diverse types of drugs or their complex combinations are used. The choice of medications is particularly influenced by the patient's general condition, the presence of concomitant diseases and complications.
Types of therapeutic treatment depending on the form of the disease
Medications for treating prostatitis are available in a wide variety of dosage forms. These medications can be in the form of tablets, capsules, injections, and rectal suppositories. Using these drugs in combination, you can achieve a faster positive result and almost complete recovery.
The complex of treatment procedures includes antibiotic therapy, prostate massage, immunostimulation and physiotherapy. Correction of the patient's lifestyle plays an important role in the treatment of prostate diseases.
Quite recently, traditional medicine has recognized traditional methods of combating prostatitis. Certain medications can be purchased ready-made at the pharmacy, while others can be collected and prepared independently. This herbal collection includes anti-inflammatory, diuretic, relaxing and calming herbs; This treatment can be used as a complement to the main treatment after consultation with a qualified specialist.
Treatment of the acute form
The acute form of prostatitis is caused by various pathogenic bacteria and microorganisms. The main symptoms of this disease include general intoxication of the body, increased body temperature and chills. There is often pain in the groin area and lower back, and there is an increased urge to urinate. The urination process is quite painful and is accompanied by the release of pus from the urethra.
Treatment of acute conditions– the use of medications for prostatitis, such as antibiotics. They have a fairly broad spectral activity and are able to penetrate prostate tissue. The most common types are macrolides, cephalosporins, protected penicillins and fluoroquinolones.
The choice of an effective medicine always depends on the type of microorganism and its sensitivity to a particular type of antibiotic. Treatment is mainly outpatient; in particularly advanced cases, with severe poisoning, urgent hospitalization is indicated; in the presence of serious complications, surgical intervention is recommended.
Chronic stage
Chronic inflammation of the gland is the result of an acute phase suffered without adequate treatment or an incompletely cured acute course of the disease. The characteristic symptoms are dull pain in the genital area, perineum or rectum. There may be a burning sensation when urinating, worsening sleep and irritability. Complications of the chronic course are male infertility, erectile dysfunction and the inflammatory process of the pelvic organs.
Treatment must be outpatient, but takes longer than in the acute form. Medicines for the treatment of the chronic form must be selected by a specialist strictly individually, the choice of the necessary medicines depends on the quality of the previous treatment and the sensitivity of bacterial agents. In addition to antibiotics, immunomodulators, analgesics, physiotherapeutic procedures and prostate massage are used.
At this stage, medicines such as rectal suppositories (suppositories) are widely used. They effectively fight gland swelling, increase local immunity, improve blood microcirculation and inhibit pathogenic microorganisms. The most popular preparations are products based on bull prostate tissue extract.
It is often possible to observe cases such as asymptomatic chronic prostatitis, which does not present obvious signs and occurs latently in the body. The specialist responsible for the treatment knows what medication to take in this case, but most of the time medications with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects are recommended.
Preventive measures
After a course of antibiotic therapy for acute prostatitis, it is necessary to take medications aimed at combating relapses and preventing chronicity.
For this purpose, herbal and immunocorrecting preparations are prescribed. Prostate massage is very effective as a preventative treatment.
Additionally, you should adjust your lifestyle and exercise more frequently. Special gymnastics methods have been developed, which are aimed at improving the functioning of the prostate and other organs of the genitourinary system. It is important to have a regular sexual partner and lead a normal sex life.
Therapy of acute and especially chronic stages of prostate inflammation is a rather long and financially expensive process. It is often not possible to cure it completely; the use of medication only helps to alleviate symptoms and improve the patient's well-being. Therefore, the best treatment for prostatitis is timely preventive measures.
New treatment methods
Modern treatment methods do not stop. More and more new medications for prostate inflammation are being developed periodically. These include adrenergic blockers, relieve spasms in the bladder, sphincter and prostate itself, which promotes the free release of glandular secretions and also prevents congestion and swelling.
Sometimes female hormones are used to treat inflammatory processes in the prostate. They reduce the inflammation process and can cure it in combination with other medications.
To quickly obtain the desired effect in the treatment of any form of prostatitis, medications must be prescribed exclusively by a specialist urologist-andrologist. After studying the patient's condition and passing all examinations, identifying all possible concomitant diseases and complications, the specialist will create an individual physiotherapeutic and medicinal complex. Only compliance with all the specialist's recommendations allows patients to achieve a complete recovery.
