Prostatitis is the most common male disease in urology, which is not easy to cure. Be sure to appoint a complex of measures aimed at reducing pain, normalizing the process of urination and restoring the normal size of the prostate. Treatment includes medication, special massages, physiotherapy. Tablets are selected depending 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 area of action are considered relevant:
- cephalosporins;
- penicillins;
- fluoroquinols.
The first group of drugs is administered mainly 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 nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Baralgin is often recommended for pain relief. If the treatment takes place at home, then it is prescribed in the form of tablets. In the hospital, injections are more often given.
The viral form of prostatitis is quite rare. It usually develops in people with very weak immunity. Herpes virus, flu, papillomavirus leads to 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 drugs 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, painkillers are prescribed. They provide pain relief for only a few hours, so constant use is necessary. The above drugs solve a different 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 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.
Improved blood circulation
Tablets to improve blood circulation are almost always prescribed, since congestion often becomes the cause of prostatitis. They do not allow the body to fully recover, do not allow antibacterial drugs to act at full strength. 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 drug release aimed at relaxing the smooth muscles of the urethra and bladder neck. The course of taking adrenoblockers is quite long, but you need to remember that these 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 urinary flow. Often used in chronic forms, taken for at least six months.
homeopathic remedies
Homeopathy is unlikely to help in the acute form of prostatitis, but may act 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 treatment. The absence of symptoms does not mean that the prostate has returned to normal. If this is not done, the inflammation will become chronic.
Medicines are selected only after the examination. The doctor takes into account the presence of microflora in the smear, the patient's clinical signs and pain complaints. Depending on this, a man should take antibacterial and anti-inflammatory therapy. Recently, bioregulatory peptides are often prescribed for post-treatment recovery. They improve the regeneration of prostate cells.
There is a wide variety of drugs that allow you to treat prostatitis. But only a few are suitable for you. You cannot prescribe treatment yourself. This can cause sexual dysfunction, which will not be easy to manage in the future.
