Inexpensive and effective drugs for prostatitis

Inflammatory prostate disease affects about 60% of men. Such a widespread occurrence of prostatitis is explained by a large number of factors that can provoke it. The reasons may be infectious lesions, impaired immune defenses, hypothermia of tissues or circulatory disorders in the region of the glands, lack of regular sexual relations.

The urgency of the problem has contributed to the appearance on the market of many types of drugs. Despite the wide range of drugs, it is undesirable to start treatment on your own. The urologist will help determine what caused the inflammation in a particular case.

Types of drugs for the treatment of prostatitis

An integrated approach is used to achieve a fast and high-quality result in the drug treatment of prostatitis. The following groups of drugs are used:

• Antibiotics.They are used in the presence of a bacterial pathogen confirmed in the laboratory. The type of antibacterial agent used depends on the sensitivity of the microbe. In most cases, these are fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines or penicillins.
• Anti-inflammatory drugsfor prostatitis. They relieve inflammation in the gland, thereby improving blood flow, the release of secretions from the gland and relieve pain.
• Muscle relaxants for skeletal muscles.Relieves muscle tension near the gland, which is manifested by reduced discomfort and pain.
• Muscle relaxants for smooth muscles.Relieves spasms of the urethra, gland ducts and blood vessels, which improves urine flow, prostatic secretions and relieves pain.
• Alpha-blockersfor prostatitis. They relieve the tone of the smooth muscles of the urethra and the neck of the bladder, which manifests itself in improved urine output, and reduces the frequency of relapses of the disease.
• Hormonal drugs.Reduces the development and swelling of the tissues of the gland.
• Immunostimulants.Designed to increase the body's defenses to fight infections.

• Phytotherapeutic agents.They have combined properties: reduce the swelling of the gland, improve the flow of urine, increase potency. They are ineffective in monotherapy. Well suited for disease prevention.

Treatment options vary depending on the form of prostatitis.

Depending on the situation, drugs can be delivered in the form of tablets, suppositories, injections, instillations, microclysters.

Good results can be obtained with a combination of drug therapy, physiotherapy and prostate massage. A prerequisite for treating a patient is correcting his lifestyle.

Drugs for the treatment of acute prostatitis

Acute prostatitis occurs due to an infectious cause. Its treatment is based on the use of antibiotics. Requirements for these substances should include activity against this pathogen, good tissue penetration and a minimum number of side effects.

Edema in acute prostatitis will cause pain and urinary retention. For these reasons, the appointment of anti-inflammatory drugs and nonsteroidal antispasmodics is mandatory.

It should be remembered that an acute inflammatory process is a contraindication to physiotherapy and massage.

Preparations for chronic prostatitis

Chronic prostatitis requires longer treatment than acute prostatitis. Prolonged inflammation provokes the proliferation of connective tissue, which will interfere with the penetration of antibacterial agents into the foci of infection.

Therefore, in the treatment of chronic prostatitis, enzyme preparations are also used. They are prescribed in the form of suppositories.

General immunomodulatory therapy is carried out, which includes the appointment of certain drugs.

Slowing blood flow in the gland lowers the rate of metabolic processes and slows down regeneration. To improve microvascular circulation, tablets are prescribed.

All chronic illnesses deplete the body's reserves. To fill the lack of vitamins and trace elements, multivitamin complexes are prescribed.

Some cases of chronic prostatitis require hormonal treatment.

Despite the availability of drugs, self-treatment is not recommended. The disease can turn into a chronic form, lead to curvature of the urethra, oncological degeneration of the gland. At the first signs of the disease, you should immediately consult a urologist.
