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 of the prostate does not cause any special problems, because modern medicine offers a lot of medicines and special drugs that will help to deal with prostatitis quickly and painlessly.Most often, men are prescribed antibiotic therapy in case of prostate problems.Only a professional urologist can choose the right remedy and prescribe treatment.
Which antibiotic to choose for prostatitis
Prostatitis as a pathology is divided into two types: non-bacterial and bacterial (infectious).Antimicrobial drugs are not used in non-bacterial prostatitis.This type of remedy is used for chronic and acute prostatitis.
In order for a man to understand what type of antibiotics he should take and whether it is necessary to take antibiotics for prostatitis, he must first find out the causes of the disease (pathogens).For this, you need to undergo a step-by-step examination, which includes a urine analysis to identify pathogens (E. coli, chlamydia, mycoplasma, staphylococcus, and others).
It should be noted that you should not choose antibiotics for prostatitis independently.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) depends on the type of pathology (acute or chronic).In most cases, doctors prescribe broad-spectrum antibiotics to men in combination with: vitamin therapy, blood circulation normalization and immunostimulating agents, antidepressants, massages, etc.
Groups of antibiotics for the treatment of prostatitis
Medicines used for prostatitis are available in the form of suppositories, tablets, injections or micronemas.Most often, antibiotic (broad-spectrum) tablets are prescribed to men, if the causes of the disease (pathogens) have not yet been established.
Prostatitis antibiotics are divided into three types:
- penicillins;
- fluoroquinolones;
- Tetracyclines.
Often suppositories are prescribed for rectal use in the treatment of prostatitis.Suppositories help relieve pain symptoms, have an anti-inflammatory effect, as well as an antibacterial effect.Suppositories, like injectable drugs, have an immediate effect on the body, so treatment of prostatitis with suppositories is an effective technique.
The fastest acting antibiotics (solutions) for injection.Injectable solutions increase the protection of the immune system and the entire vascular system of the body.In some cases, doctors resort to the instillation 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 microneedling based on medicinal herbs (infusions, decoctions).This procedure is used in conjunction with medical treatment.The microenema procedure is performed before going to bed.
Treatment of prostatitis with antibiotics
The process of prostatitis treatment 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 are taken in the form of tablets for chronic and acute prostatitis, the treatment lasts about 30 days.If the prostatitis becomes more serious or complications appear, the treatment will continue with the introduction of antibiotics into the urethral canal.
Also, along with antibiotic treatment, painkillers can be prescribed.But you should be careful when taking them together, because an excessive dose of the drug (painkiller) can provoke the development of negative side effects.
Chronic prostatitis
Alpha-blockers are prescribed for chronic prostatitis (non-bacterial).Antibiotics of this type relax the bladder neck and muscles, reduce pain (during urination).It should be noted that drugs of this group have side effects, including headache and hypotension.
Drugs containing hormones are prescribed for chronic prostatitis (various forms).It is a fact that an excess of the male hormone testosterone in a man's blood activates the reproduction process of the prostate gland.During the treatment, the hormonal level decreases and returns to normal, and at the same time inflammatory processes disappear.In addition to additional treatment measures, herbal remedies are used to relieve swelling and inflammation.
Viral prostatitis
Antiviral drugs are prescribed for viral prostatitis.
Nonsteroidal antiviral drugs are added to the course of treatment.This group eliminates pain, swelling and anti-inflammatory processes.In addition to the listed medications, medications are used to improve blood flow to the prostate gland.
When taking antibiotics for prostatitis, immunomodulators are used to strengthen the immune system.
Antibiotic therapy regimen for prostatitis
When treating prostatitis with antibiotics, the course of treatment can be from 6 to 12 weeks.Different groups of drugs 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 (intravenously).The duration of this course is 4 weeks - 6, 7 weeks.
The doctor may prescribe several medicines at the same time.
After a course of antibiotic therapy, 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 (infection).
Self-completion of treatment is completely prohibited!Even if the man's condition has improved.Prostatitis is a very insidious disease that has relapses.
Effective means for the treatment of prostatitis
Only a professional urologist can choose an effective and correct drug and prescribe treatment.
To prevent complications and further development of the disease, follow the exact regimen of antibiotics prescribed by the doctor.Do not self-medicate, do not use drugs from little-known pharmaceutical companies.Drugs from the "antibiotic" group have side effects that can harm all men's health, including sexual activity and general general well-being.
