Prostate problems in men begin at the age of 40.Active inflammation in the prostate gland is caused by infectious viruses and bacteria, decreased immunity, diseases of the reproductive system, hormonal imbalance and sexually transmitted diseases.The process of treating inflammation in the prostate does not cause any special problems, because modern medicine offers a large number of drugs and special medicines that will quickly and painlessly help to cope with prostatitis.Most often, in cases of prostate problems, men are prescribed antibiotic treatment.Only a professional urologist can choose the right drug and prescribe the treatment.
Which antibiotics to choose for prostatitis
Prostatitis as a pathology is divided into two types: non-bacterial and bacterial (infectious).Antimicrobial drugs are not used for non-bacterial prostatitis.This type of drug is used for chronic and acute types of prostatitis.
In order for a man to understand what type of antibiotics he should take and if it is necessary to take antibiotics for prostatitis, he must first find 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, staphylococcus 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, dose and duration of treatment (course) depend on the type of pathology (acute or chronic).In most cases, doctors prescribe broad-spectrum antibiotics to men, in combination with: vitamin therapy, means for normalizing blood circulation and immunostimulating agents, antidepressants, massages, etc.
Groups of antibiotics in the treatment of prostatitis
Medicines used for prostatitis are available in the form of suppositories, tablets, injections or microclyses.Most often, antibiotic tablets (broad spectrum) are prescribed to men if the causes (pathogens) of the disease have not yet been determined.
Antibiotics for prostatitis are divided into three types:
- Penicillin;
- Fluoroquinolones;
- Tetracyclines.
Often during the treatment of prostatitis, suppositories are prescribed for rectal use.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.
Faster-acting antibiotics (solutions) for injection.Injection solutions increase the protection of the immune system and the entire vascular system of the body.In some cases, doctors use the insertion method.The instillation method is a process in which a solution (antibiotics) is injected directly into the urethral canal.The procedure is performed on an empty bladder.
Also, there is a method of microclyses 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 prostatitis treatment process 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 antibiotics.Antibiotics in the form of tablets are taken for chronic and acute prostatitis, the treatment lasts about 30 days.If prostatitis becomes more serious or complications arise, treatment will continue by injecting antibiotics into the urethral canal.
Also, in combination with antibiotic treatment, painkillers may be prescribed.But you should be careful when you take them together, because an overdose of the drug (painkiller) can provoke the development of negative side effects.
Chronic prostatitis
For chronic (non-bacterial) prostatitis, alpha-blockers are prescribed.Antibiotics of this type relax the bladder neck and muscles, reduce pain (during urination).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 proliferation of the prostate gland.During treatment, hormonal levels are leveled and return to normal, and at the same time, inflammatory processes disappear.In addition to additional treatment measures, herbal remedies are used to help relieve swelling and inflammation.
Viral prostatitis
For viral prostatitis, drugs with an antiviral spectrum of action are prescribed.
The course of treatment is supplemented with non-steroidal antiviral drugs.This group eliminates pain, swelling and anti-inflammatory processes.In addition to the listed drugs, medications are used to improve blood circulation in the prostate gland.
To strengthen the immune system while taking antibiotic drugs for prostatitis, immunomodulators are used.
Antibiotic treatment regimen for prostatitis
When prostatitis is treated with antibiotics, the course of treatment can vary from 6 to 12 weeks.Medicines from different groups can be taken alternately 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 medicines at the same time.
After a course of treatment with antibiotics, 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 husband's condition has improved.Prostatitis is a very insidious disease that comes back.
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 correct antibiotic regimen prescribed by your doctor.Do not self-medicate, do not use drugs from little-known pharmaceutical companies.Medicines from the group of "antibiotics" have side effects that can harm the health of all men, including sexual activity and general general well-being.
