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 full functioning of the prostate gland.
Bacterial prostatitis very often develops. It is caused by many bacteria that can be sexually transmitted. Therefore, to maintain your masculine health, you should avoid debauchery. Bacterial inflammation of the prostate gland can also occur against the background of hypothermia, other infectious and viral diseases.
Non-bacterial prostatitis is also often diagnosed. The causes of this inflammation can be the following factors:
- Stagnation in the pelvic organs;
- 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 heavy lifting
- Hormonal disorders;

It is worth noting that timely treatment guarantees a complete recovery of the patient. If prostatitis is already detected at the stage of active development, there is a risk that the disease becomes chronic. Therefore, every man should know the first manifestations of prostate inflammation. So it is worth noting the frequent desire for the toilet. If a young man goes to the toilet more than twice a night, you may suspect the onset of prostatitis. In this case, urination is painful, intermittent. And the bladder does not empty completely.
The inflammatory process of the prostate is always accompanied by pain. The pain extends to the perineum, testicles, anus, rectum, spine, legs, lower back, bottom of the abdomen. Sometimes the pain appears during bowel movements. Rarely, patients complain of chills and fever. But even that can be. In this regard, the husband develops increased fatigue, irritability.

Also, over time, the power decreases, an insufficient erection develops. A sign of prostatitis can be premature ejaculation, or its complete absence, complete lack of orgasm.
What are the treatments for prostatitis?

So there are such forms of prostate inflammation: bacterial, acute, non-bacterial, chronic, asymptomatic. For example, acute and chronic prostatitis are treated with radically different medications.
Diagnosis plays an important role in drug selection. Only after the results are obtained, the doctor can prescribe the most effective drugs for prostatitis. In any form of the disease, the tablets differ in the speed of action. They are assigned anyway. Such drugs can be natural, antibiotics, painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs. Such drugs have a wide spectrum of their action. This group of drugs can be divided into the following classes: fluoroquinolones, penicillin class, tetracycline.

Today, fluoroquinolones are very popular and very effective. These drugs are used to treat chronic prostatitis.
Tetracyclines are increasingly being 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 group preparations are widely used. They have a good antibacterial effect.

When injected into the rectum, the suppository is immediately dispersed, the active substance is rapidly absorbed into the general bloodstream. So the pain is significantly reduced after 5-10 minutes after injection. It is very important that the medicine is administered correctly. The husband should assume a prone position and not stand up for at least half an hour after the presentation. During this period of time, the drug will fully disperse and begin to exert its analgesic effect.
Anesthetic suppositories are well known and very effective in treating prostatitis.
