Be sure to conduct a bacterial culture to determine the resistance of the microorganism to the antibiotic. After all, if the medication is not prescribed correctly, prostatitis will develop again. Today fluoroquinolones are very popular and effective. These drugs are used to treat chronic prostatitis.
Tetracyclines are increasingly being used to treat prostate cancer. This is because such drugs are very difficult for the body to tolerate and can provoke diseases of other systems and organs. Widely used drugs of the penicillin group. They have a good antibacterial effect.
Painkillers for prostatitis
Painkillers are prescribed for any form of prostatitis. They help to stop the pain syndrome in the shortest time, alleviate the patient's condition.

When injected into the rectum, the suppository opens instantly, the active substance is rapidly absorbed into the general bloodstream. So the pain is significantly reduced already 5-10 minutes after the injection. It is very important to take the medicine correctly. The man should hold an inclined posture and not stand for at least half an hour from the entrance. During this period, the drug completely dissolves and begins to have analgesic action.
Anesthetic suppositories are very popular and effective in treating prostatitis.

A new drug for the treatment of prostate inflammation is a drug that belongs to the group of bioregulatory peptides. The action of the drug is aimed at stimulating the independent regeneration of the prostate gland. Also, under the influence of the drug, the body itself begins to regulate metabolic processes in prostate tissues and cells. So, with the rapid elimination of inflammation, pain relief is not observed.
Antiandrogens help to eliminate the inflammatory process in case of bacterial prostatitis. You can reduce the pressure in the urethra, eliminate prostate and bladder spasms by using alpha-blockers. Such drugs enhance urination, normalize blood circulation in the pelvic organs. This is very important if a man has started complaining of potency disorders as a result of prostatitis.
As you can see, there are many drugs used to treat prostate cancer. Early detection of the problem is very important. Any drug to eliminate the inflammatory process of the prostate is prescribed only after a thorough examination of the patient by a doctor. And complex therapy will permanently relieve the signs of prostatitis.
