The advisability of prescribing these drugs for the treatment of the latent form is determined by the test results. The presence of bacterial flora can be indicated by the pending number of leukocytes and the identification of microorganisms in the secretion of the gland or in pyospermia. The choice of antibiotic for prostatitis is made after analyzing secretions or semen
Features of choice
Several antibiotics are used to treat inflammation in men. When choosing, it is important to give preference to those that have the ability to accumulate in the gland tissues. This is the main selection criterion for the treatment of prostatitis. For this purpose, fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, macrolides and so on are prescribed.
To choose antibiotics wisely, it is important to consult a doctor. In this situation, if bacterial flora is suspected, an analysis is carried out to identify the type of pathogen. At the same time, their sensitivity to existing active substances is determined. Only on this basis is preference given to one or another medication.
It is important to note that the symptoms of chronic prostatitis are often mild. Therefore, the patient and the doctor have the opportunity to wait for the test results and choose an antibiotic that has a guaranteed effect. Antibiotics should only be prescribed by a doctor and after carrying out the necessary research.
Fluoroquinolones for prostatitis
These antibiotics have many advantages:
- rapid achievement of high concentrations in tissues;
- minimum number of side effects;
- efficacy of oral and parenteral forms;
- excellent bioavailability.
An important feature is that drugs in this group have a prolonged effect. After ingestion, the active substance is released within 24 hours. For this reason, the concentration of the substance is maintained until the next dose.
Broad-spectrum synthetic antibacterial drugs are especially used for treatment. They show the most pronounced effect in the presence of intracellular infection. Also, this particular group of drugs should be prescribed for prostatitis that occurs as a complication of a sexually transmitted disease. The fluoroquinolone group of drugs has almost no side effects and is well absorbed
All fluoroquinolones, without exception, are highly effective in treating typical infections. The only downside is neurotoxicity. Medicines are used only after excluding the presence of tuberculosis in any location.
Prostatitis and the choice of antibiotics for its treatment
The dosage directly depends on the name of the medicine and the concentration of the active substance. In general, fluoroquinolones are administered in doses of 500 to 1, 000 milligrams per day.
Tetracycline medications
Often, a synthetic antibacterial agent is prescribed to treat a disease, the main feature of the drug is the ability to penetrate the glandular tissue, accumulating in maximum quantities. Furthermore, such medicines are affordable and available in a wide selection of release forms.
Antibacterial drugs are ineffective against some enterococci. For this reason, they are prescribed only after determining sensitivity.
To treat the pathology, the antibiotic is prescribed in the amount of two tablets per day. The duration of therapy is determined individually.
The medicine may be prescribed after a sensitivity test.
Tetracycline antibiotics are effective against mycoplasmas, chlamydia and other infections. They are easily tolerated and have high activity. Used in a dosage of no more than two hundred milligrams per day.
Along with well-known medicines, macrolides are used. Use 500-1000 milligrams per day. As a rule, the maximum dosage is used within three days after starting treatment. Then the number of tablets is reduced by half.
When using macrolides, it is important to consider that these medications have not been fully studied. At the same time, it is known that they are low-toxic, quickly accumulate in the tissues of the gland and effectively fight a large number of bacteria.
Drugs from other groups
To treat inflammation, you can use a combination kit containing an antifungal medicine, an antibiotic, and an antibacterial medicine with antiprotozoal activity. This medicine is very important for men and has also shown high effectiveness in treating prostatitis. One blister contains 6 to 15 tablets of different medicines. They are selected in daily dosage and taken at the same time.
The antifungal agent is effective against most prostatitis pathogens
This composition allows you to eliminate inflammation by identifying pathogens such as Trichomonas, anaerobes, Gardinella, mycoplasma and so on. But what is especially beneficial is that this antibiotic is effective in the presence of Candida fungi.
According to WHO requirements, this is an ideal medicine for the treatment of prostatitis. When used, the effectiveness reaches 95% even in the presence of advanced prostatitis with stable microflora. At the same time, the antibiotic has minimal toxicity, is easily tolerated, easy to use due to the single dosage, and also causes a minimum degree of resistance in microorganisms.
Indications for the use of this antibiotic are uncomplicated prostatitis, inflammation caused by STDs, as well as a combination of prostatitis with urethritis. In the absence of pronounced symptoms, a single application is sufficient. In men with frequent relapses, a five-day course with full dosage is required.
Treatment standards
Specialists from a large number of countries are working to create an effective method for treating recurrent prostatitis. Most are inclined to believe that in men the duration of treatment should be at least two weeks. After that, the patient's condition and test results are assessed. As a rule, therapy continues after that. In general, the course should last at least 4-6 weeks.
To cope with prostatitis, you must follow the prescribed regimen and course of therapy.
In the chronic form of prostatitis, antibiotics in tablets and capsules are preferred. In this case, the dosage should be as high as possible. This is the only way to get lasting results.
The latent form of prostatitis is considered separately. In most cases, laboratory analysis does not detect bacterial flora, but this does not guarantee its absence. This is precisely what explains the fact that when using antibiotics in men, pelvic pain syndrome is eliminated and the general condition improves.
At the same time, it is important to remember that it is simply impossible to create a specific treatment regimen for the disease. This is explained by the individual characteristics of patients and the variety of forms of pathology. This is why you should not take antibiotics on your own, which have shown excellent results in other men. Only a doctor can choose the treatment option that best suits your particular case.
