Prostatitis is the most common male disease in urology, which is not easy to cure. Be sure to take a number of measures aimed at relieving pain, normalizing the process of urination and restoring the normal size of the prostate. Treatment includes medication, special massage, physiotherapy. Tablets are selected depending on the form of prostatitis.
Tablets for different types of prostatitis
When 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.
With acute prostatitis, first of all, it is necessary to relieve pain and prescribe the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Baralgin is often recommended for pain relief. If treatment is carried out at home, then it is prescribed in tablet form. In the hospital, injections are given more frequently.
The viral form of prostatitis is quite rare. It usually develops in people with very weak immunity. The herpes virus, influenza, papilloma virus leads to illness. In addition to blood circulation-enhancing drugs, antiviral tablets are prescribed. It is mandatory to take drugs and vitamins that increase immunity.
Groups of drugs used to treat prostatitis
Painkillers
Basically, they are needed in the acute form of the disease. Antispasmodics are used, which relax the smooth muscles of blood vessels and increase blood microcirculation. This reduces inflammation and acts as a pain reliever.
In addition, analgesics are prescribed. They relieve pain for only a few hours, so constant use is required. The above drugs solve another problem - they normalize the condition of the compressed urethra, inflamed and enlarged prostate. If you want the effect to take effect as quickly as possible, for example if you are in severe pain, then it is better to use candles. They work faster.
If it is necessary to relax the muscles of the perineum, muscle relaxants are prescribed.
improvement of 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 work at full strength. Therefore, an angioprotector is prescribed, which improves microcirculation and oxygenation of 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 such pills are aimed not at treatment, but at eliminating 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 urine flow. Commonly 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 as a preventive measure. The most suitable drug is 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 has returned to normal. If this does not happen, the inflammation becomes chronic.
Drugs are selected only after the examination. The doctor takes into account the presence of microflora in the smear, clinical signs and pain complaints from the patient. Depending on this, a man should conduct antibacterial, anti-inflammatory treatment. Recently, bioregulatory peptides are often prescribed for post-treatment recovery. They improve the regeneration of prostate cells.
There are a variety of drugs that allow you to cope with prostatitis. But few are right for you. You cannot prescribe the treatment yourself. This can lead to sexual dysfunction that will not be easy to treat in the future.
