Prostate problems in men begin at the age of 40.Active inflammation in the prostate gland is caused by infectious viruses and bacteria, reduced immunity, diseases of the reproductive system, hormonal imbalance and sexually transmitted diseases.The process of treating inflammation in the prostate does not cause particular problems, because modern medicine offers a huge number of drugs and special drugs that will quickly and painlessly help in the treatment of prostatitis.Most often, in cases of prostate problems, men are prescribed antibiotic treatment.Only a professional urologist can choose the right treatment and prescribe treatment.
Which antibiotics to choose for prostatitis
Prostatitis as a pathology is divided into two types: non-bacterial and bacterial (infectious).For non-bacterial prostatitis, no antimicrobial drugs are used.This type of treatment is used for chronic and acute types of prostatitis.
In order for a man to understand what kind of antibiotics he should take and whether it is necessary to take antibiotics for prostatitis, he must first find the causes of the disease (pathogens).To do this, you should undergo a step-by-step examination, which includes a urine test to identify pathogens (E. coli, chlamydia, mycoplasma, staphylococcus and others).
It should be noted that you should not choose antibiotics for prostatitis yourself.You should know that when choosing antibiotics for treatment, the individual sensitivity of bacteria to the drug should be taken into account.
The choice of antibiotics, dosage and duration of treatment (course) depend on the type of pathology (acute or chronic).In most cases, doctors prescribe broad-spectrum antibiotics to men, in combination with: vitamin therapy, blood circulation and immunostimulating agents, antidepressants, massage, etc.
Antibiotic groups in the treatment of prostatitis
Medicines used for prostatitis are available in the form of suppositories, tablets, injections or microenemas.Most often, antibiotic tablets (broad-spectrum) are prescribed to men if the causes (pathogens) of the disease have not yet been determined.
Antibiotics for prostatitis are divided into three types:
- penicillins?
- Fluoroquinolones?
- Tetracyclines.
Often during the treatment of prostatitis, suppositories are prescribed for rectal use.Suppositories help relieve pain symptoms, have an anti-inflammatory effect, as well as an antibacterial effect.Suppositories, like injectable drugs, act immediately on the body, so the treatment of prostatitis with suppositories is an effective technique.
Fast-acting antibiotics (solutions) for injections.Injectable solutions increase the defense of the immune system and the entire vascular system of the body.In some cases, doctors resort to the instillation method.The instillation method is a procedure in which a solution (antibiotics) is injected directly into the urethral canal.The procedure is performed on an empty bladder.
There is also a method of microenemas based on medicinal herbs (infusions, decoctions).This procedure is used in conjunction with drug therapy.The microenema procedure is carried out before going to bed.
Treatment of prostatitis with antibiotics
The treatment process for prostatitis should be comprehensive and include different groups of drugs:
- painkillers;
- hormonal drugs;
- antibiotics;
- alpha-blockers;
- anti-inflammatory and antiviral drugs.
Get rid of bacterial prostatitis
Bacterial prostatitis is treated only with antibiotic drugs.Antibiotics in tablet form are taken for chronic and acute prostatitis, the treatment lasts about 30 days.If the prostatitis becomes more severe or complications occur, treatment will continue with an injection of antibiotics into the urethral canal.
Also, in combination with antibiotic treatment, painkillers may be prescribed.But you should be careful when taking them together, because an overdose of the drug (painkiller) can cause the development of negative side effects.
Chronic prostatitis
For chronic prostatitis (non-bacterial) alpha-blockers are prescribed.Antibiotics of this type relax the neck and muscles of the bladder, reduce pain (during urination).It is worth noting that drugs of this group have side effects, such as headache and hypotension.
For chronic prostatitis (various forms), drugs containing hormones are prescribed.The fact is that the excess of the male hormone testosterone in a man's blood activates the process of proliferation of the prostate gland.During the treatment, the hormonal levels are balanced and returned to normal and at the same time the inflammatory processes disappear.In addition to additional treatment measures, herbal medicines are used to help relieve swelling and inflammation.
Viral prostatitis
For viral prostatitis, drugs with an antiviral spectrum of action are prescribed.
The course of treatment is supplemented with non-steroidal antiviral drugs.This group eliminates pain, swelling and anti-inflammatory processes.In addition to the listed drugs, drugs are used to improve blood flow to the prostate gland.
To strengthen the immune system when taking antibiotic drugs for prostatitis, immunomodulators are used.
Antibiotic regimen for prostatitis
When treating prostatitis with antibiotics, the course of treatment can vary from 6 to 12 weeks.Medicines from different groups can be taken alternatively or in combination.
In severe cases, prostatitis can cause side effects: fever, headache, prostate pain.In such cases, the doctor prescribes antibiotics by injection (intravenous).The duration of this course is 4 weeks - 6, 7 weeks.
The doctor can prescribe several drugs at the same time.
After a course of antibiotic treatment, the man's condition should improve.in cases where the condition does not improve, there is a possibility that the disease is caused by bacteria (infections).
Self-completion of treatment is absolutely prohibited!Even if the man's condition has improved.Prostatitis is a very insidious disease that has relapses.
Effective drugs for the treatment of prostatitis
Only a professional urologist can choose an effective and correct drug and prescribe treatment.
To avoid complications and further development of the disease, follow the exact regimen of antibiotics prescribed by your doctor.Do not self-medicate, do not use drugs from little-known pharmaceutical companies.Medicines from the group of "antibiotics" have side effects that can harm the health of all men, including sexual activity and general physiological well-being.
