Pathology of the prostate gland, which was previously so rare in young men, is now increasingly diagnosed in men under 35 years of age.The reasons for this renewal of diseases are a sedentary lifestyle, poor food and environment, smoking and drug abuse.So, prostatitis, which previously only bothered men over 40-50 years old, now appears at a young age, as evidenced by doctors' reviews.Therefore, it is important that every man has an idea of what drugs are currently available for the treatment of prostatitis.
Classification of the causes of the disease
Before considering drug treatment for prostatitis, it is necessary to understand the essence of the disease and the reasons that lead to it.Inflammation of the prostate gland can be caused by many factors.Among the most common causes of acute and chronic prostatitis, urologists identify the following:
- Infections.More often it is about the introduction of bacterial flora along the ascending route, that is, the infection occurs during sexual intercourse and then the microbes penetrate the prostate and the urinary tract.
- Violation of normal blood circulation.It often leads to the development of prostate adenoma, reduced potency and can significantly worsen the symptoms of prostatitis.Diseases that lead to blood circulation disorders are: coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis.
- Allergic and immunological changes.
- Hormonal problems.
- A sedentary lifestyle leads to stagnation of blood in the pelvis, hypothermia, overwork, stress, poor nutrition.
- Lack of normal sex life or abnormal sexual behavior.Prolonged conscious abstinence, prolonged coitus, etc. can provoke inflammation of the prostate and also cause various potency disorders.
Any of the above factors can lead to illness.It can happen in two forms:
- spicy.
- Chronic prostatitis.
The symptoms of both forms are similar.Small changes are observed in the severity of disease manifestations and the severity of the process.Representatives of the stronger sex complain of the following symptoms:
- Pain in men is localized in the lower abdomen and perineum.
- Urinary disorders: increased frequency, pain.
- Violations of potency and sexual function.Persistent disorders are more typical of chronic prostatitis and adenoma.
- Acute is characterized by a temperature reaction: the temperature rises to 38-40 ° C, general intoxication.
Even if the symptoms of prostatitis are mild, it is necessary to treat the disease.In a number of situations, inadequate treatment of an acute process leads to the development of a chronic process, which, in turn, increases the risk of developing prostate adenoma.
Groups of medications
After a complete diagnosis and identification of the causes of the disease, the doctor prescribes comprehensive drug treatment for prostatitis.Which pills or injections are recommended depends on the above factors.Let's look at the main groups of drugs used in men:
- Antibiotics and antibacterial drugs.Before treating the patient, a culture should be performed to identify the pathogen.If it is not possible to carry out, antibacterial drugs with the widest spectrum of action are prescribed.
- NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).Effective analgesics.The analgesic effect develops quite quickly.Anti-inflammatory drugs also reduce fever and fight signs of inflammation.
- Alpha adrenergic blockers.It is included in drug therapy for acute or chronic prostatitis, accompanied by urinary retention.Alpha blockers relax the smooth muscles of the bladder and urinary tract.
- Antispasmodics.The effect is similar to alpha-blockers.Relieving spasms, they also have an analgesic effect.They improve blood microcirculation, which is important in the treatment of chronic and acute prostatitis, as well as in the treatment of adenoma.
- Hormones.Hormonal treatment is recommended in situations where non-steroidal anti-inflammatories do not cope and inflammation does not decrease.
- Muscle relaxants.The drugs are similar in their effect to antispasmodics.
- Bioregulatory peptides.A rather "fashionable" group of drugs, also used for the prevention of prostatitis.They improve the speed of regenerative processes and help eliminate morphological changes.
- Phytotherapy.Homeopathic and herbal remedies are widely used at home both to treat the disease and to prevent prostatitis.Some have proven themselves to be effective anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antispasmodic.The effectiveness with which traditional medications (alpha-blockers, hormones) solve the problem is not available, however, homeopathic medicines can be taken to eliminate problems with urination, increase potency, etc.
The exact amount of medication will be determined only by the doctor.If you try to treat the disease yourself, the process may become chronic or complications may develop.
Therapy methods
You can take tablets and injections for prostatitis.These are the most common forms of drug therapy.But you can treat the disease at home in another way - by taking medications in the following forms:
- Enema.They are used more often with herbal medicines, but this method has not found answers among doctors and some specialists are completely against it.
- Candles.Anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, antibacterial medications have long been produced in the form of suppositories.The reason for its popularity is simple: the anatomical location of the prostate.Its proximity to the rectal wall allows drugs to quickly penetrate the site of inflammation.
- Filling (instillations).Contraindicated at home.They are performed on an outpatient basis in an operating room in a urology office or in a hospital.Anti-inflammatory medications, bioregulatory peptides and some herbal medicines are introduced through instillations.
What and how to treat the disease should be decided by the doctor.You should not refuse any method of drug treatment because of the method of drug administration.Most men are most familiar with tablets and injections, but other dosage forms may be more effective.
