Prostatitis is an inflammatory process that develops in the glandular tissue of the prostate, sometimes transferring to the muscular part of this organ.This causes pain in the perineum, weakness, fatigue, difficulty urinating, and sexual dysfunction.It is necessary to treat acute prostatitis to avoid dangerous complications of this disease.
Currently, both the cause and the process of prostatitis have been thoroughly researched.Therefore, urologists have many means to treat this disease.They should be prescribed only by a specialist who has knowledge of which part of the development of the disease is affected by a certain drug and also takes into account contraindications to them.Consider the main groups of drugs used to treat prostatitis.
Antibacterial agent
Usually, prostatitis is caused by bacteria.Antibacterial drugs are directed against them.
To carry out a targeted effect on the bacteria that cause prostatitis in a particular person, it is necessary to conduct a bacteriological study of the secretions secreted by the prostate gland.Only after knowing the name of the microorganism, its properties and the antibacterial agent to which it is sensitive, can you choose the right antibiotic.And modern drugs of this type can cure even severe forms of the disease.For acute bacterial prostatitis, the following antibiotics are used:
- Amoxicillin;
- Ceftriaxone;
- Cefotaxim;
- Ofloxacin;
- Ciprofloxacin;
- Azithromycin.
This is not a complete list of antibacterial drugs used in the treatment of prostatitis.
Treatment is with antiviral drugs
If prostatitis has a herpetic cause, it will be treated with antiviral medications.This:
- Acyclovir;
- Valciclovir;
- Ffamciclovir.
The latter drug is the “gold standard” for treating viral prostatitis.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
Drugs such as Diclofenac, Indomethacin, Ketoprofen or Ketorolac are not so much needed to eliminate the pain syndrome that accompanies this disease, but to reduce the swelling of the gland and its inflammation.They also contribute to the appearance in the blood of substances that reduce manifestations of intoxication and reduce increased body temperature.
The optimal anti-inflammatory drug is Diclofenac, which also helps eliminate pain very well.If the pain is especially intense and sharp, use Ketorolac.
Drugs that eliminate spasms
In the treatment of prostatitis, drugs are used that act on various key points that cause spasms of the pelvic muscles and prostate.This allows you to improve urination and helps drugs of the previous group eliminate pain.So here they apply:
- Drotaverine: acts on smooth muscle, preventing muscle spasm reactions from occurring;
- Baclofen: reduces the sensitivity of nerve fibers coming from the prostate and toxic organs;
- Tamsulosin: only affects receptors located in the bladder muscle and prostate.
Auxiliary drugs
A good addition to the treatment of prostatitis are the following drugs:
- Prostate extract: the drug protects prostate cells from damage caused by inflammation, improves microcirculation, eliminates blockages in pelvic vessels, strengthens blood vessels.All these effects are extremely useful for chronic prostatitis.Being animal and not of chemical origin, it does not cause side effects.Can be used as an injection or suppository.
- Extracted from climbing palm fruit.This is a herbal remedy that has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect.It also regulates the amount and force of urination, and reduces discomfort when going to the toilet.
- A biologically active dietary supplement containing a protein and nucleoprotein complex isolated from the prostate of cattle, which affects the metabolism of the prostate, normalizing its function and, accordingly, urination.
