Timely start of treatment of the inflammatory process in the prostate is the most important rule that will help men quickly get rid of the disease and prevent complications and relapses.There are now so many different medications that it's easy to get confused.All tablets for prostatitis are considered the most effective means of preventing or eliminating the disease, but upon closer inspection, more than half of them are not very effective;They eliminate the symptoms but do not eliminate the cause.Let's consider inexpensive and effective options.
Types of Medical Assistants
Antibiotics, painkillers, Chinese or domestic medicines, etc.?Which ones help best?In order for men to choose the right medications, they must first consult a doctor.The specialist analyzes the degree of sensitivity of the body to a particular drug, determines the type and stage of the disease, and also studies the individual characteristics of the body.Based on all this data, the doctor prescribes treatment and tells you which pills a particular patient needs to take for prostatitis.
The course of medications to relieve acute and chronic prostatitis in men includes taking the following medications (all tablets are for treatment, not prevention!):
- Antibiotics.
- Antispasmodics.
- Anti-inflammatory drugs.
- Alpha-adrenergic blockers.
- Medicines that improve blood circulation.
Let's take a closer look at all the pills for prostatitis: their purpose, properties, etc.
Antibiotics
In acute and chronic forms, taking antibiotics is necessary.The main tasks of antibiotics are to destroy pathogenic flora, reduce intoxication and inflammatory processes, and thereby accelerate recovery.It is impossible to treat men for prostatitis without antibiotics, as this is the most effective remedy.
All antibiotic tablets are divided into the following groups:
- Fluoroquinolones.Tablets needed to treat chronic prostatitis.
- Aminopenicillins.The prescription of aminopenicillins is often carried out in mild, uncomplicated stages (with acute processes and rare exacerbations of chronic prostatitis in men).
- Cephalosporins.Tablets with a wide range of applications (for the treatment of any form), however, the drugs have a short-term antibacterial effect.
- Macrolides.Antibiotics with the least effectiveness against prostatitis in men, but also with minimal toxic effect.
- Tetracyclines.Well tolerated.They have the highest natural activity against atypical microorganisms (chlamydia and mycoplasma) among all antibiotics.
It is impossible to talk about which of the listed remedies is better than others, since men are individually susceptible to the drugs.
Anti-inflammatory
To relieve inflammation, doctors recommend taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which can eliminate unpleasant signs of pathology and reduce swelling in the prostate in men, thereby reducing pain.Painkillers are necessary during therapy, as they allow you to relieve unpleasant symptoms and move on to the next stage.If the patient is insensitive to this group of drugs, he is prescribed strong hormonal drugs.
Alpha blockers
This type of tablet is prescribed as an adjuvant for the treatment of prostatitis in men (that is, it is not aimed at eliminating the problem, but at eliminating the symptoms and helping the action of other, stronger drugs).Prescribed for men with moderate severity of the disease who have difficulty urinating.
The list of alpha blockers is not that extensive.Each drug targets spasms in the prostate and bladder neck, reduces pressure in the urethra, and increases urine flow.
The feedback from experts is clear: treatment with alpha blockers is generally well tolerated.If you are hypersensitive to the components contained in the tablets, minor side effects may occur.
Antispasmodics
With acute prostatitis, men are prescribed antispasmodic tablets.Their effectiveness is due to the fact that they relax the smooth muscles of blood vessels, increase blood microcirculation and thereby reduce inflammation and act as painkillers.
As patient reviews show, antispasmodics are very effective against spasms and can quickly eliminate unpleasant symptoms and relieve severe pain in the groin area.
To improve blood circulation
A common cause of pathology is stagnant formations.They prevent organs from recovering and interfere with the normal action of antibiotics.That is why it is impossible to treat prostatitis if you do not take drugs that improve blood circulation in parallel with antibiotics.
What is best for acute and chronic prostatitis?Antibiotics, antispasmodics or painkillers?The list of drugs is extensive, there is a whole range of measures for treating prostatitis with the help of tablets - some are needed for prevention, others are aimed at destroying viruses, others should be taken to increase blood circulation, relieve spasms and eliminate inflammation.In addition, there are so many drugs in each group that one cannot do without the help of an expert.In addition, each type of tablet has its own properties and contraindications.
