As therapy for prostatitis, both pharmacological treatments (tablets, suppositories, injections) and non-drug treatments (massage, physiotherapy) can be used.There are at least 150 types of various drugs on sale that, according to the manufacturer, help fight inflammation of the prostate.Those patients who plan successful treatment need a preliminary consultation with a urologist.
Before using any composition, it is advisable to find out everything: what the medicine contains, what its pharmacological action is, what indications and contraindications exist.It is also useful to familiarize yourself with the experiences of those who have already undergone treatment and listen to the opinions of recovering patients.
What are the differences between drug release forms?
In case of inflammation of the prostate, the greatest danger is that the pathological microflora continues its journey through the male reproductive system.Without proper treatment, the patient receives:
- epididymitis;
- balanoposthitis;
- urethritis;
- cystitis;
- pyelonephritis.
Without testing, it is impossible to determine what exactly causes prostatitis.Treatment must be based on the etiology of the disease, only then will it be effective.
The main causes of prostatitis and treatment methods:
- Congestion in the tissues of the prostate gland.Mild anti-inflammatory medications are prescribed;The use of antibiotics is not advisable.A good effect is achieved by means that stimulate the functioning of the blood and lymphatic vessels that nourish the prostate.
- Bacterial infection.This is the most dangerous of all possible variants of the disease.Strong antibiotics are required;Otherwise, the inflammatory process will spread throughout the urinary system and affect the urethra, bladder and kidneys.As the infection progresses through the reproductive system, the testicles and shaft of the penis will be affected.In the future, impotence, acute infectious prostatitis and acute pyelonephritis will occur.In outpatient conditions, the patient uses antibacterial and immunomodulatory drugs;in a hospital setting, a powerful course of immunostimulants and antibiotics directed against specific pathogens.Treatment is carried out under the control of tests.
- Viral infection.It is rare and requires support from the immune system.Medicine cannot offer any specific measures apart from taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
- Malignant and benign tumors, prostate hyperplasia.In this case, in addition to medications, the help of a surgeon may be required.Once the diffuse or nodular pathological process has been eliminated, the state of the prostate returns to normal.
Depending on the form of release, the following types of drugs for prostatitis are differentiated:
- Injections.They are used in hospitals and, in severe cases, help to quickly stop the inflammatory process in the prostate tissues.
- Instillations.This term refers to the introduction of medication into the prostate through the lumen of the urethra.This procedure is usually performed by a urologist.Approximately 5 ml of the drug in volume is injected.
- Candles.The most common home treatment method, a very convenient and popular form of release.All types of drugs for prostatitis are produced in suppositories: analgesics, antiseptics, vasodilators, antibacterials, immunostimulants and others.The course of use of suppositories should be from 5 to 21 days;After the end of therapy, the patient must undergo a control urine analysis.
- Tablets.In some cases, it may be advisable to use oral agents that have a systemic effect.This form of release has undoubted advantages: with prostatitis against the background of genitourinary infection, several foci of the pathological process can be destroyed simultaneously.
- Microclysters.Classic method of treatment.It consists of influencing the prostate gland through the wall of the rectum.This is a very safe and convenient method, the only drawback of which is the preliminary bowel movement.Therapeutic enemas differ from the usual ones in composition and low doses.
- Ointments.They are relatively rarely used in the treatment of prostatitis due to their uncomfortable application in the perineal area.
At the same time, different forms of medication can be used, for example, pills and suppositories.When choosing a treatment strategy, you should be guided by the recommendations of your treating doctor.
Attention!Control tests should be carried out no earlier than 2 weeks after the end of the last use of the drug.Those patients who are treated without the system are at high risk of chronic prostatitis and impotence.
The most popular and cheapest drugs.
Prices for different groups of drugs differ significantly;It is also important to consider where the medication is purchased.Large pharmacy chains and online pharmacies are always cheaper than small, little-known pharmacies.
Made!The doctor does not prescribe a specific name of the drug, he indicates the active ingredient.The doctor's prescription is deciphered by the pharmacist.It is profitable for this specialist to sell an expensive drug, so the patient should ask about cheap analogues.
Separately, it is worth highlighting such a class of drugs for prostatitis as alpha-adrenergic blockers.The drugs affect the hormonal processes occurring in the male reproductive system and help eliminate the prerequisites for inflammation and swelling of the prostate.Since the medications interfere with the chemical reactions that testosterone participates in, you should be examined by an andrologist before using them.
Attention!There are several products that reduce the effectiveness of alpha blockers.
Diet is an essential part of the treatment;Otherwise, the result will be disappointing.
What do people say?
Those patients who underwent therapy under the control of tests and regularly consulted their doctor believe that cheap drugs for prostatitis are no less effective than their expensive counterparts.
