Prostate problems in men begin at the age of 40.Active inflammation of the prostate gland is caused by infectious viruses and bacteria, lowered immunity, diseases of the reproductive system, hormonal imbalance and sexually transmitted diseases.The process of treating inflammation of the prostate does not cause any particular problems, because modern medicine offers a huge number of drugs and special drugs that will quickly and painlessly help to deal with prostatitis.Most often, men are prescribed antibiotic treatment for prostate problems.Only a professional urologist can choose the right drug and prescribe treatment.
What antibiotics to choose for prostatitis
Prostatitis as a pathology is divided into two types: non-bacterial and bacterial (infectious).Antimicrobial drugs are not used in non-bacterial prostatitis.This type of drug is used in chronic and acute forms of prostatitis.
In order for a man to understand what kind of antibiotics to take and whether it is necessary to take antibiotics for prostatitis, he must first find out the causes of the disease (pathogens).To do this, you must undergo a step-by-step examination, which includes a urine test to identify pathogens (E. coli, chlamydia, mycoplasma, staphylococci, 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) depends on the type of pathology (acute or chronic).In most cases, doctors prescribe broad-spectrum antibiotics to men in combination with: vitamin therapy, means to normalize blood circulation and immunostimulating means, antidepressants, massages, etc.(it all depends on the type of pathogen, as well as its sensitivity to drugs (antibiotics)).
Groups of antibiotics in the treatment of prostatitis
Medicines used for prostatitis are available in the form of suppositories, tablets, injections or micro-enemas.Most often, antibiotic tablets (broad-spectrum) are prescribed to men if the causes (pathogens) of the disease have not yet been established.
Antibiotics for prostatitis are divided into three types:
- penicillins;
- fluoroquinolones;
- Tetracyclines.
Often during the treatment of prostatitis, suppositories for rectal administration are prescribed.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.
The fastest acting antibiotics (solutions) for injections.Injection solutions increase the defenses of the immune system and the entire vascular system of the body.In some cases, doctors resort to the infusion method.The infusion method is a process where a solution (antibiotics) is injected directly into the urethral canal.The procedure is performed on an empty bladder.
There is also a method of microenema based on medicinal herbs (infusions, decoctions).This procedure is used in combination with drug treatment.The microenema procedure is performed before going to bed.
Treatment of prostatitis with antibiotics
The process of treating prostatitis should be comprehensive and include different groups of drugs:
- pain relievers;
- hormonal drugs;
- antibiotics;
- alpha-blockers;
- anti-inflammatory and antiviral drugs.
Get rid of bacterial prostatitis
Bacterial prostatitis is treated only with antibiotic drugs.In case of chronic and acute prostatitis, antibiotics are taken in the form of tablets, the treatment lasts about 30 days.If the prostatitis becomes more serious or complications occur, treatment will continue by injecting antibiotics into the urethral canal.
Painkillers can also be prescribed in combination with antibiotic treatment.But you should be careful when taking them together, as an excessive dose of the drug (pain reliever) can provoke the development of negative side effects.
Chronic prostatitis
In chronic prostatitis (non-bacterial) alpha-blockers are prescribed.Antibiotics of this type relax the neck and bladder muscles, reduce pain (when urinating).It is worth noting that drugs of this group have side effects, including headache and hypotension.
For chronic prostatitis (various forms), drugs containing hormones are prescribed.The fact is that an excess of the male hormone testosterone in a man's blood activates the process of prostate gland proliferation.During the treatment, the hormonal levels are leveled and normalized, while at the same time the inflammatory processes disappear.In addition to additional treatment measures, herbal medicines are used to relieve swelling and inflammation.
Viral prostatitis
In viral prostatitis, drugs with an antiviral spectrum of action are prescribed.
The course of treatment is supplemented by non-steroidal antiviral drugs.This group removes 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 while taking antibiotic drugs for prostatitis, immunomodulators are used.
Antibiotic treatment 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 sequentially 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 the treatment is completely prohibited!Even if the man's condition has improved.Prostatitis is a very insidious disease that has relapses.
Effective means 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 "antibiotic" group have side effects that can harm the health of all men, including sexual activity and general normal well-being.
