Pathology of the prostate gland, which used to be so rare in young people, is now increasingly diagnosed in men under 35 years of age.Sedentary lifestyles, poor nutrition and environment, smoking and drug abuse are the causes of this rejuvenation of diseases.So prostatitis, which previously worried only men over 40-50 years old, now occurs at a young age, as evidenced by doctors' examinations.Therefore, it is important for every man to have an idea of what drugs are currently available to treat prostatitis.
Classification of the causes of the disease
Before considering the medical treatment of prostatitis, it is necessary to understand the essence of the disease and the reasons leading to it.Inflammation of the prostate gland can be caused by many factors.Among the most common causes of acute and chronic prostatitis, urologists identify the following:
- Infections.More often we talk about the introduction of bacterial flora in an ascending way, that is, the infection occurs during sexual intercourse and then the microbes penetrate into the prostate and urinary tract.
- Violation of normal blood circulation.It often leads to the development of prostate adenoma, reduced potency and can significantly worsen the symptoms of prostatitis.Diseases leading to circulatory disorders are the following: ischemic heart disease, atherosclerosis.
- Allergological and immunological changes.
- Hormonal problems.
- Sedentary lifestyle leading to stagnation of blood in the pelvis, hypothermia, overload, stress, improper nutrition.
- Absence of a normal sex life or abnormal sexual behavior.Prolonged conscious abstinence, prolongation of coitus, etc.can provoke inflammation of the prostate and cause various potency disorders.
Any of the above factors can lead to illness.It can appear in two forms:
- Spicy.
- Chronic prostatitis.
The symptoms of both forms are similar.Minor differences were observed in the severity of disease manifestations and in the severity of the process.Representatives of the stronger sex complain of the following symptoms:
- Pain in men is localized in the lower abdomen and perineum.
- Urination disorders: increased frequency, pain.
- Violations of potency and sexual function.Permanent disorders are more characteristic of chronic prostatitis and adenoma.
- Acute is characterized by a temperature reaction: the temperature rises to 38-40 ° C, general intoxication.
Even if the symptoms of prostatitis are mild, it is necessary to treat the disease.In a number of situations, inadequate treatment of an acute process leads to the development of a chronic one, which in turn increases the risk of developing prostate adenoma.
Groups of drugs
After a complete diagnosis and identification of the causes of the disease, the doctor prescribes complex treatment of prostatitis.Which pills or injections are recommended depends on the above factors.Let's look at the main groups of drugs used in men:
- Antibiotics and antibacterial drugs.Before treating the patient, a culture should be done to identify the pathogen.If it is not possible to carry out, antibacterial drugs with the widest spectrum of action are prescribed.
- NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).Effective analgesics.The analgesic effect develops quite quickly.Anti-inflammatory drugs also reduce fever and fight signs of inflammation.
- Alpha adrenergic blockers.It is included in drug therapy for acute or chronic prostatitis, accompanied by urinary retention.Alpha blockers relax the smooth muscle of the bladder and urinary tract.
- Antispasmodics.The effect is similar to alpha-blockers.By relieving spasms, they also have an analgesic effect.They improve blood microcirculation, which is important in the treatment of chronic and acute prostatitis, as well as in the treatment of adenoma.
- Hormones.Treatment with hormones is recommended in situations where non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs do not work and the inflammation does not subside.
- Muscle relaxants.The drugs are similar in their effect to antispasmodics.
- Bioregulatory peptides.Quite a "modern" group of drugs, also used for the prevention of prostatitis.They improve the speed of regenerative processes and help eliminate morphological changes.
- Phytotherapy.Homeopathic and herbal medicines are widely used at home both for the treatment of the disease and for the prevention of prostatitis.Some have proven to be effective anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antispasmodic.The effectiveness with which traditional drugs (alpha-blockers, hormones) solve the problem is not available to them, but homeopathic drugs can be taken to eliminate urination problems, increase potency, etc.
The correct amount of medicine is determined only by the doctor.If you try to treat the disease yourself, the process may become chronic or complications may develop.
Methods of therapy
You can take tablets and injections for prostatitis.These are the most commonly prescribed forms of drug therapy.But you can treat the disease at home in another way - by taking drugs in the following forms:
- Enemas.They are used more often with herbal medicines, but this method has not found a response among doctors, and some specialists are categorically against it.
- Candles.Anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, antibacterial drugs have long been produced in the form of suppositories.The reason for its popularity is simple: the anatomical location of the prostate.The proximity of it and the wall of the rectum allows drugs to quickly penetrate the site of inflammation.
- Fillings (instillations).Contraindicated at home.They are performed on an outpatient basis in the operating room of a urology office or in a hospital.Anti-inflammatory drugs, bioregulatory peptides and some herbal medicines are introduced by instillations.
What and how to treat the disease should be decided by the doctor.You should not reject any method of drug treatment because of the way the drug is administered.Most men are more familiar with tablets and injections, but other forms may be more effective.
