Both drug treatments (tablets, suppositories, injections) and non-drug treatments (massage, physiotherapy) can be used as therapy for prostatitis.There are at least 150 types of different drugs that, according to manufacturers, help fight inflammation of the prostate.Patients who plan successful treatment need a preliminary consultation with a urologist.
Before using a composition, you should find out everything about it: what the medicine contains, what pharmacological effect it has, what indications and contraindications there are.It is also useful to familiarize yourself with the experiences of those who have already undergone treatment and hear reviews from recovering patients.
What are the differences between drug release forms?
With inflammation of the prostate, the greatest danger is that the pathological microflora continues its journey through the male reproductive system.Without appropriate treatment, the patient receives:
- epididymitis;
- balanoposthitis;
- urethritis;
- cystitis;
- Pyelonephritis.
Without testing, it is impossible to determine the exact cause of prostatitis.Treatment should be based on the etiology of the disease, only then will it be effective.
The main causes of prostatitis and treatment methods:
- Congestion in the prostate tissue.Mild anti-inflammatory medications are prescribed;The use of antibiotics is not advisable.A good effect is achieved by means that stimulate the functioning of the blood and lymphatic vessels that supply the prostate.
- Bacterial infection.This is the most dangerous of all possible variants of the disease.Strong antibiotics are required, otherwise the inflammatory process will spread throughout the urinary system, affecting the urethra, bladder and kidneys.As the infection progresses through the reproductive system, the testicles and penile body suffer.In the future there will be impotence, acute infectious prostatitis and acute pyelonephritis.In the outpatient setting, the patient uses antibacterial drugs and immunomodulators;In the hospital environment, an effective treatment with immunostimulants and targeted antibiotics against certain pathogens.The treatment takes place under test control.
- Viral infection.It is rare and requires immune system support.Medicine cannot offer any specific measures other than taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
- Malignant and benign tumors, prostatic hyperplasia.In this case, in addition to medication, the help of a surgeon may be required.After the diffuse or nodular pathological process is eliminated, the condition of the prostate returns to normal.
Depending on the form of release, the following types of drugs for prostatitis differ:
- Injections.They are used in hospitals and, in severe cases, help to quickly stop the inflammatory process in prostate tissue.
- Instillations.This term refers to the introduction of drugs into the prostate through the lumen of the urethra.This procedure is usually carried out by a urologist.About 5 ml of the drug is injected.
- Candles.The most common home treatment method, a very convenient and popular form of release.All kinds of drugs for prostatitis are produced in suppositories: painkillers, antiseptics, vasodilators, antibacterial agents, immunostimulating agents and others.The duration of use of suppositories should be from 5 to 21 days;After completing therapy, the patient must undergo a check urine test.
- pills.In some cases it may be advisable to use oral agents that have a systemic effect.This form of release has undoubtedly advantages: with prostatitis against the background of a genitourinary infection, several foci of the pathological process can be destroyed at once.
- Microclysters.Classic treatment method.The prostate is influenced by the wall of the rectum.This is a very safe and convenient method, the only drawback of which is preliminary bowel movements.Therapeutic enemas differ from ordinary enemas in the composition and low dosage.
- Anoint.Due to the inconvenience of use in the perineal area, they are relatively rarely used in the treatment of prostatitis.
At the same time, you can take various medications, for example tablets and suppositories.When choosing a treatment strategy, you should be guided by the recommendations of your treating doctor.
Attention!Control tests should be carried out no earlier than 2 weeks after the end of the last use of the drug.Patients treated without the system are at high risk of chronic prostatitis and impotence.
The most popular and cheapest drugs
The prices for different groups of drugs differ significantly;It is also important to consider the place where the medicine is purchased.Large pharmacy chains and online pharmacies are always cheaper than small and little-known pharmacies.
Fact!The doctor does not prescribe a specific name for the medicine, he states the active ingredient.The doctor's prescription is decoded by the pharmacist.For this specialist it is worth selling an expensive drug, so the patient should ask for cheap analogues.
Separately, a class of drugs for prostatitis such as alpha-blockers should be highlighted.Drugs affect the hormonal processes in the male reproductive system and help eliminate the prerequisites for inflammation and swelling of the prostate.Since medications interfere with the chemical reactions in which testosterone is involved, you should be examined by an andrologist before taking them.
Attention!There are a number of products that reduce the effectiveness of alpha blockers.
Diet is an essential part of the treatment, otherwise the result will be disappointing.
What are people saying?
Those patients who underwent therapy under the control of tests and regularly consulted their doctor believe that cheap drugs for prostatitis are no less effective than their expensive counterparts.
