As a treatment for prostatitis, both drug therapy (tablets, suppositories, injections) and non-drug therapy (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 gland.Those patients planning successful treatment need a preliminary consultation with a urologist.
Before using any composition, you should learn everything about it: what the drug contains, what is its pharmacological action, what indications and contraindications are there.It is also useful to familiarize yourself with the experiences of those who have already undergone treatment and hear reviews from recovering patients.
What are the differences between drug release forms?
With inflammation of the prostate gland, 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 tests, 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 prostate tissues.Mild anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed.the use of antibiotics is not recommended.A good result is achieved with 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 needed, 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 the body of the penis will suffer.In the future, impotence, acute infectious prostatitis and acute pyelonephritis will appear.In an outpatient setting, the patient uses antibacterial drugs and immunomodulators.in a hospital setting, a strong course of immunostimulatory and targeted antibiotics against specific pathogens.Treatment is carried out under the control of tests.
- Viral infection.It is rare and requires immune system support.Medicine cannot offer specific measures other than taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
- Malignant and benign tumors, prostatic hyperplasia.In this case, in addition to medicines, the help of a surgeon may be needed.After the diffuse or nodular pathological process is eliminated, the state of the prostate gland returns to normal.
Depending on the form of release, the following types of drugs for prostatitis differ:
- Injections.They are used in hospitals, in severe cases they help to quickly stop the inflammatory process in the prostate tissues.
- Instillations.This term refers to the introduction of medication into the prostate gland through the urethral meatus.This procedure is usually performed by a urologist.About 5 ml of the drug is injected into the tumor.
- Candles.The most common method of home treatment, a very convenient and popular form of release.All kinds of drugs for prostatitis are produced in suppositories: painkillers, antiseptics, vasodilators, antibacterials, immunostimulants and others.The course of using suppositories should be from 5 to 21 days.after completion of treatment, the patient should undergo a control urine test.
- Pills.In some cases, the use of oral agents that have a systemic effect may be recommended.This form of release has undoubted advantages: with prostatitis against the background of an infection of the genitourinary system, several foci of the pathological process can be destroyed at the same time.
- Micro enemas.Classical treatment method.It consists in the influence of 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 ordinary ones in composition and low dosage.
- Ointments.They are used relatively rarely in the treatment of prostatitis due to the inconvenient application in the perineal area.
At the same time, you can use different forms of drugs, for example, tablets and suppositories.You should be guided in choosing a treatment strategy by the recommendations of your attending physician.
Attention!Control tests should be carried out no earlier than 2 weeks after the end of the last use of the drug.Those patients treated without the system have a high risk of chronic prostatitis and impotence.
The most popular and cheapest drugs
Prices for different drug groups vary significantly.It is also important to consider the place where the drug is purchased.Big chain pharmacies and online pharmacies are always cheaper than small and little-known pharmacies.
Fact!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 that occur in the male reproductive system and help to eliminate the conditions for inflammation and swelling of the prostate gland.Since the drugs interfere with the chemical reactions in which testosterone is involved, you should be examined by an andrologist before use.
Attention!There are a number of products that reduce the effectiveness of alpha blockers.
Nutrition is a necessary part of treatment, otherwise the result will be disappointing.
What are people saying?
Those patients who underwent treatment under the control of the trials and regularly consulted their doctor believe that cheap drugs for prostatitis are no less effective than their expensive counterparts.
