In recent years, attitudes toward the treatment of prostate adenoma and prostatitis have changed significantly. Such a diagnosis is no longer an unambiguous indicator of surgical intervention, the drugs have proven to be quite effective. Of course, this significantly prolongs the recovery process, but patients should not go through a long period of recovery after surgery. The functionality of the prostate gland is regulated with the help of tablets. Such treatment is designed to help the man cope with the deteriorating symptoms as much as possible.
As a rule, the drugs perfectly treat the initial stage of prostate adenoma and relieve complications in the later stages. This is explained by the fact that drug methods can slow down or completely stop the process of hyperplasia of organ tissues.
Medical treatment for prostate adenoma is not mandatory, so every patient has the right to refuse it by choosing surgery. Patients are often motivated by the fact that such drugs have many side effects.
If drug treatment is refused, the following complications are likely to develop:
- progression of the disease, as well as worsening of already manifested symptoms;
- reducing the quality of vital signs;
- increasing the need for surgery;
- acute signs of urinary retention.
Recent studies have shown that drugs to treat prostate adenoma and prostatitis have become more gentle on the body as a whole and are harmful to the source of inflammation. Now surgery is used only as a last resort, when there are pathological changes in the body and significant difficulties in the process of urination. Also, surgery cannot be avoided if there is kidney damage.
Indications for drug treatment
Medicines to relieve the symptoms of adenoma and prostatitis are chosen in cases where:
- hyperplasia develops again after planned surgery;
- the patient's age does not allow surgical intervention;
- a man voluntarily writes a waiver of surgery.
In addition, there are cases when drug treatment is strongly contraindicated, as it can not provide emergency care in emergencies.
Medicines for treatment
As the symptoms of prostate adenoma and prostatitis increase, a number of medications are prescribed that can alleviate the man's condition. Most effective in cases of moderate disease. All drugs for the treatment of prostate can be combined into two main groups:
- alpha blockers, which have a relaxing effect on the muscles of the prostate;
- inhibitors reduce the volume of the prostate and slow or completely stop its further enlargement.
Also in modern medicine is relevant combination therapy, which is used in cases of significant increase in prostate volume. The combination of drugs avoids surgery. The only disadvantage of this treatment is the manifestation of side effects of two types of drug at once. Prostate medications can lower blood pressure, so such medications are not suitable for patients with hypotension.
Tamuzolosin-based medicines are effective in treating prostatitis and prostate adenoma. They bring quick relief, relieve the first symptoms and help deal with the root cause of the disease. Also, these drugs show a minimal number of side effects.
Avoidance of surgery occurs in the case of drugs based on 5 alpha reductase inhibitors.
Antibiotic therapy
Antibiotics for adenoma are used only if an acute bacterial infection is attached to it. Antibiotics also help get rid of fever, chills and fever. The general condition is improving. Inflammation of the prostate perfectly relieves fluoroquinolones.
After antibiotics, a course of antifungal drugs is often prescribed. This is due to the fact that antibacterial drugs disrupt the microflora of the body, provoking the reproduction of fungi.
Essential oils
Often patients try to recover from prostatitis and adenoma on their own without resorting to medical and surgical methods. Of course, there are folk remedies that can help in this situation. It is worth considering the most effective and often used by them. Essential oils, especially fir oil, help to alleviate the inflammatory process and eliminate the main symptoms of the disease.
To prepare a folk remedy, sea buckthorn oil and fir are mixed in equal proportions and moistened with a gauze swab. It is very important not to overdo it with oil. The total should not be more than 10 drops per session. The tampon is inserted into the anus and is not removed until the next act of defecation. You can also order the production of candles with fir oil in pharmacies. The duration of treatment is approximately 25-30 days.
Fir oil is able to kill bacteria, heat the area of an enlarged organ and act as an excellent painkiller.
Cocoa butter-based candles are widely used, where fir oil is added in a volume of 10 drops. The drug is also injected into the rectum at night. Relieves pain, inflammation and reduces the size of the prostate. Restores sexual function, improves the general condition of the body. This method has been tested many times and is therefore considered scientifically proven.
In traditional medicine, prostate massage is used with the addition of fir oil. Of course, this procedure is performed only by a qualified physician. A side effect in the form of a burning sensation is possible. In this case, it is better to refuse such treatment and look for an alternative.
There are many ways to fight prostate adenoma and prostatitis, the main thing is to decide to undergo an examination and start treatment. There is nothing to worry about here, because it is better to use medicines and folk remedies than to go through recovery after surgery.
