The inflammatory process in the prostate brings considerable discomfort to men's lives, and often leads to the development of more complex diseases, including impotence, infertility, adenoma or prostate cancer. Prostatitis is most often diagnosed in men in adulthood, but it is often diagnosed in young men under 40 years of age. The treatment of this disease includes a set of measures represented by drug therapy, physiotherapy, folk remedies and massage methods. But despite this diversity, it is still based on orally administered drugs.
For the treatment of prostatitis, folk remedies and medicines are used.
why pills
Pills are the most popular drugs for prostatitis, which are recommended for men to drink immediately after the diagnosis is confirmed. This dosage form has a number of advantages over other drugs, but with all this, it also has significant disadvantages.
The main reasons for prescribing pills:
- The need to eliminate the infection, which is often located not only in the prostate, but also in other organs of the urinary and reproductive system, intestines and lymph nodes in the groin. In most cases, it can be eradicated only with resources that act systemically.
- Often, the cause of prostatitis is the deterioration of the functions of the circulatory system. At the same time, the normalization of work is possible only in the case of normalization of blood flow throughout the body, and not just in the prostate and small pelvis. This can only be achieved by taking drugs inside.
- Strengthening the immune system is an important component of treating prostatitis. This can be done in two ways - by reviewing the diet or by taking immunomodulators and immunoglobulins. Pills in this case are the most convenient and simple option for men. Treatment of prostatitis does not require medication unless it is in the early stage.
- The normalization of metabolic processes in the prostate depends on the state of metabolism throughout the body. Most of the "responsibility" for these processes lies with vitamins, minerals and trace elements, which are more completely absorbed by the digestive tract. That is why vitamin and mineral complexes, as well as drugs to restore metabolism, are prescribed for prostatitis, mainly in the form of tablets or oral solutions.
Of course, this is not a complete list of reasons why it is more convenient and beneficial for men to take pills. These include the absence of skin punctures, which inevitably remain after injections, the absence of psychological discomfort (men can be afraid of injections too), and much more.
What pills to drink - classification of drugs for prostatitis
With prostatitis in men, drug treatment is carried out with drugs from various groups. The list of mandatory drugs that doctors advise all patients to drink, without exception, includes:
- antibiotics;
- antispasmodics;
- muscle relaxants;
- anti-inflammatory drugs;
- hormones;
- immunomodulators and vitamins;
- complex preparations for prostatitis.
It is necessary to drink all the tablets from the above list according to the instructions for use and based on the recommendations given by the doctor. It is important to remember that some drugs are better for "little drinking" than taking them for a long time or in large doses. Hormonal drugs are considered especially dangerous in this regard!
Long-term use of drugs for men with a positive effect on prostatitis is indicated only for complex tablets or capsules, the composition of which is mainly based on herbal ingredients. It is recommended to drink for at least 3 months in a row, and during treatment it is better to observe the exact dosage, because organics, no less than synthetic drugs, affect various processes in the body.
Herbal preparations must be consumed for several months to get the desired effect.
Drug-free treatment - healing teas for prostatitis
One of the ways to get rid of the manifestations of prostatitis, which has recently become popular among men, is herbal teas based on medicinal plants. The therapeutic effect of many of them has been scientifically proven, and the herbs that are part of decoctions and water infusions are included in complex preparations.
Herbs, like synthetic compounds used for prostatitis in men, have the following effects:
- Uroseptic - cleanse the prostate tissues of bacteria, viruses and toxins synthesized by them. Such properties are possessed by tansy, centaury, bearberry.
- Anti-inflammatory - suppresses inflammation in the focus, that is, in the prostate. This property has marigold, yarrow, bearberry, St. John's wort and sage.
- Improve blood circulation and eliminate stagnation in the prostate. Chestnut and sweet clover help to normalize the state of the circulatory system and restore the functions of blood vessels.
- Ginger, ginseng, mint and lemon have an immunomodulatory and restorative effect on men's bodies.
In a word, herbal teas and decoctions can be drunk instead of pills, but this is still not recommended. The best option is to supplement them with pills and other prostatitis remedies prescribed by a doctor. But even this should be done only after the specialist has approved the use of a particular plant.
Important to remember! Decoctions and herbal teas have quite an extensive list of contraindications and, when taken orally, can affect the functions of all internal organs. In this regard, when treating them with prostatitis in men, the dosage must be strictly observed.
To get the maximum effect, urologists recommend using folk remedies for no more than two weeks. After a week's break, the remedy can be changed to another. The parallel intake of several decoctions or teas can lead to negative consequences. Taking folk remedies during remission is especially useful to reduce the likelihood of exacerbation of the disease, and in the event that it occurs, turn to the help of medicines from the first aid kit.
