Prostatitis - what is it?
As already mentioned, prostatitis is an inflammatory process in the prostate gland. The ducts and urethra are also inflamed. In the absence of timely treatment, complications can occur, up to prostate cancer, adenoma, impotence, infertility, narrowing of the urethra. With such complications, it is almost impossible to restore the proper functioning of the prostate gland.
Bacterial prostatitis often develops. It is caused by many bacteria that can be sexually transmitted. Therefore, in order to maintain your male health, you should avoid promiscuity. Bacterial inflammation of the prostate gland can also occur against the background of hypothermia, other infectious and viral diseases.
Nonbacterial prostatitis is also often diagnosed. The causes of this inflammation can be the following factors:

- capillary blood stasis;
- Low immunity;
- Nervous tension;
- Congenital anomalies in the development of the pelvic organs;
- Sedentary lifestyle, sedentary work;
- Lack of moderate physical activity;
- Regular weight lifting
- Hormonal disorders;

It is worth noting that timely treatment ensures complete recovery of the patient. If prostatitis is already detected in the stage of active development, there is a risk that the disease will become chronic. Therefore, every man should know the first signs of inflammation of the prostate. So, it is worth noting the frequent desire for a toilet. If a young man goes to the toilet more than twice a night, you may suspect prostatitis. In this case, urination is painful, intermittent. And the bladder is not completely emptied.
The inflammatory process of the prostate is always accompanied by pain. The pain covers the perineum, testicles, anus, rectum, back, legs, lower back, lower abdomen. Sometimes the pain occurs during bowel movements. Patients rarely complain of chills and fever. But it can also be. In this regard, the man develops increased fatigue, irritability.
Inflammation of the prostate has a detrimental effect on male potency. Due to obstruction of the ducts, narrowing of the duct, insufficient production of sperm from the testicles occurs. Also, over time, potency decreases, insufficient erection develops. A sign of prostatitis may be premature ejaculation or its complete absence, complete lack of orgasm.
What are the treatments for prostatitis?
The choice of treatment for prostatitis also implies the right choice of medication. Depending on the severity of the disease, its stage and form, different drugs are chosen. So, there are such forms of inflammation of the prostate: bacterial, acute, nonbacterial, chronic, asymptomatic. For example, acute and chronic prostatitis are treated with radically different drugs.
Diagnosis plays an important role in the choice of drugs. Only after the results are obtained can the doctor prescribe the most effective drugs for prostatitis. In each form of the disease, the tablets differ in speed of action. They are appointed anyway. Such drugs can be natural, antibiotics, painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs. Such drugs have a broad spectrum of action. This group of drugs can be divided into the following classes: fluoroquinolones, penicillin, tetracyclines.
Other therapies include:
- Candles. Rectal suppositories have analgesic and antibacterial effects.
- Injections. The drug penetrates the body very quickly, which quickly stimulates the vascular and immune systems.
- Instillation. The drug is injected directly into the prostate through the urethra.
- Microenemas. Various medicines are used in the form of decoctions and infusions of medicinal herbs.
For rapid recovery, complex therapy is common. So it is common to use such drugs for prostatitis at the same time: tablets, suppositories, injections. After the recovery of men, it is recommended to increase immunity. Also, in addition to medication, urologists advise to take a course of physiotherapy, prostate massage. Such manipulations will quickly save the male body from stagnation in the prostate, will improve blood circulation in the prostate gland.
Antibiotics for prostatitis
These drugs are always prescribed in case of bacterial prostatitis. The type of bacteria that caused the disease is determined first. Be sure to perform a bacterial culture to identify the resistance of the microorganism to the antibiotic. Eventually, if the drug is not prescribed correctly, prostatitis will continue to develop. Today, fluoroquinolones are very popular and highly effective. These drugs are used to treat chronic prostatitis.
Tetracyclines are increasingly used to treat the prostate gland. This is because such drugs are very difficult to tolerate by the body and can provoke diseases of other systems and organs. Penicillin preparations are widely used. They have a good antibacterial effect.
Painkillers for prostatitis
Painkillers are prescribed for each form of prostatitis. They will help in the shortest possible time to stop the pain syndrome, to alleviate the patient's condition. In the case of chronic prostatitis, such drugs are needed. In case of recurrent relapses, painkillers quickly relieve discomfort in the scrotum, perineum and testicles. Urination becomes painless.
Rectal suppositories are most often prescribed to eliminate the pain syndrome. This is explained by the fact that candles have a quick, direct effect on the prostate. When injected into the rectum, the suppository dissolves immediately, the active substance is rapidly absorbed into the general bloodstream. So the pain is significantly reduced 5-10 minutes after the injection. It is very important that the medicine is given correctly. The man should lie down and not get up for at least half an hour after insertion. During this time, the medicine will dissolve completely and begin to have an analgesic effect.
Anesthetic suppositories are very popular and highly effective in the treatment of prostatitis.
As for pain pills, they are not so popular among specialists. But men prefer them. They do not differ in speed. To begin the action of such a drug, it is necessary to complete the full course of treatment. Reduction of pain occurs only 30-40 minutes after application. Under the influence of such drugs there is a relaxation of smooth muscles, which eliminates spasms and pain.
herbal remedies for prostatitis
Modern methods of treating prostatitis in men include the use of herbal medicines. The composition of such preparations includes only herbal ingredients. There are no side effects from these drugs. But among the contraindications it is worth noting only the individual intolerance of the individual components of the drug. Treatment of the prostate with herbal medicines lasts a little longer than with synthetic drugs. Ultimately, the substance needs to accumulate in the body. But a positive result is guaranteed.
Herbal substances are used in the treatment of both acute and chronic prostatitis. Because the symptoms of chronic prostatitis appear periodically, frequent use of antibiotics can have a detrimental effect on the whole body. That is why natural remedies for chronic prostatitis are the best option.
Other drugs to treat the prostate
Other drugs are also used in the complex treatment of the prostate. If the prostatitis is viral in nature, the doctor prescribes antiviral drugs. Often these drugs complement the complex treatment. Antiviral drugs adversely affect all viruses, have an immunomodulatory effect.
A new drug for the treatment of inflammation of the prostate is a drug that belongs to the group of bioregulatory peptides. The action of the drug is aimed at stimulating the independent regeneration of the prostate gland. Also, under the influence of the drug, the body itself begins to regulate metabolic processes in the tissues and cells of the prostate. So, the rapid elimination of inflammation, pain relief is not observed.
Antiandrogen drugs help to eliminate the inflammatory process in the case of bacterial prostatitis. You can reduce the pressure in the urethra, eliminate spasms of the prostate and bladder with the help of alpha-blockers. Such drugs increase urination, normalize blood flow to the pelvic organs. This is very important if as a result of prostatitis a man began to complain of potency disorders.
As you can see, there are many drugs to treat the prostate. It is very important to recognize the problem in time. All drugs to eliminate the inflammatory process in the prostate are prescribed only by a doctor after a thorough examination of the patient. And complex therapy will permanently eliminate the signs of prostatitis.
