Fearing to go to a specialist, many men seek suitable medication for prostatitis without a doctor's recommendation. The pharmacy now offers a wide variety of drugs, and in most cases they do not need a prescription to sell them (with the exception of antibiotics). When looking for the right medicine, it should be remembered that improper treatment or untimely seeking help from a doctor can lead to a complication of the disease. As a result, prostate adenoma, cancer, infertility, and impotence easily develop.
Modern pharmacology offers a wide variety of drugs and drugs in the fight against prostatitis. All of them differ in composition, form of release and patterns of use. The specialist prescribes drugs for the treatment of chronic prostatitis or in the acute phase, after the patient has undergone a diagnostic examination. You will have to do a blood test, a urine test, an ultrasound.
At the initial stage of the disease, when the causative agent of the inflammatory process has not been identified, broad-spectrum drugs are prescribed. After receiving the test results, therapy is adjusted, and antibiotics are replaced with more specialized drugs.
What is the best medicine for prostatitis? A specialist will help you choose the drug, focusing on the type of disease.
Some examples of common treatment regimens:
The effectiveness of treatment largely depends not only on which drugs to take for prostatitis, but also on the correctly selected treatment regimen and method of action. The complex is selected by a specialist, taking into account the need to influence the prostate and the inflammatory process in a certain way.
The main groups of drugs used by urologists in the treatment of prostatitis:
The doctor prescribes several types of pills at once or adds candles with the desired properties to the injections. It is the integrated approach (the use of drugs of different actions) that allows you to achieve a good result and effectively cope with the disease. Some medicines will need to be taken until symptoms subside, others will need to be taken completely. It is necessary to strictly follow all the recommendations of the doctor and not to violate the established treatment regimen.
Any inflammatory process is suppressed in the body by antibiotics. Prostatitis caused by infection is no exception. The specialist, after receiving the results of tests, a visual examination, palpation of the prostate and questioning of the patient, prescribes a course of antibacterial agents.

Many patients, seeing changes for the better, neglect to take other drugs than to make their condition worse. It should be understood that these drugs are drunk in combination with antibiotics and other means.
Medicines in this category are prescribed to relax muscles and improve urine flow. These drugs are present in almost all treatment regimens, regardless of the form of the disease (acute phase, chronic stage). It should be remembered that the drugs themselves are no longer aimed at treating, but only at blocking and eliminating the main unpleasant manifestations that do not allow a person to live normally.
In the acute phase or the chronic form of prostatitis, one cannot do without drugs that increase the body's defenses. Modulators have an effect on cellular and humoral immunity and contribute to the body's resistance to infections, increase the general tone and normalize many processes.

All drugs presented in pharmacies differ in their form of release. Not everyone knows what is special about choosing one or another species. It is more convenient to drink tablets, but the injections work faster and allow a sufficient concentration of the active substance to reach the site of inflammation more quickly.

The method of treatment and the form of release of the drug by the doctor is selected depending on the general condition of the patient, as well as the need for a certain effect. If the treatment was not chosen correctly or if the patient did not follow the established admission schedule, the treatment regimen, then prostatitis takes a chronic form. This form of the disease is more difficult to treat and can lead to serious consequences. Therefore, in case of problems with the prostate, one should not self-medicate, but immediately contact competent specialists who will take into account all the characteristics of the body and prescribe the appropriate treatment.
