Prostate pathology, which was previously so rare in young people, is now increasingly diagnosed in men under 35 years of age.The reasons for this rejuvenation of diseases are a sedentary lifestyle, poor nutrition and the environment, smoking and drug abuse.Thus, prostatitis, which previously worried only men over 40-50 years of age, now occurs at a young age, as evidenced by doctors' reviews.Therefore, it is important for any man to have an idea of what medications are currently available for the treatment of prostatitis.
Classification of the causes of the disease
Before looking at the drug treatment of prostatitis, it is necessary to understand the essence of the disease and the reasons that led to it.Prostate inflammation can be caused by several factors.Among the most common causes of acute and chronic prostatitis, urologists identify the following:
- Infections.More often we are talking about the introduction of bacterial flora along the ascending path, that is, infection occurs during sexual intercourse, and then microbes penetrate the prostate and urinary tract.
- Disturbance of normal blood circulation.It often leads to the development of prostate adenoma, decreased potency and can significantly worsen the symptoms of prostatitis.Diseases that lead to circulatory disorders are the following: coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis.
- Allergological and immunological changes.
- Hormonal problems.
- A sedentary lifestyle that leads to stagnation of blood in the pelvis, hypothermia, overstrain, stress, poor nutrition.
- Lack of normal sexual life or abnormal sexual behavior.Prolonged conscious abstinence, prolongation of coitus, etc.can provoke inflammation of the prostate gland and also cause various potency disorders.
Any of the above factors can lead to the disease.It can occur in two ways:
- Spicy.
- Chronic prostatitis.
Symptoms of both forms are similar.Small differences are observed in the severity of disease manifestations and the severity of the process.Representatives of the stronger sex complain of the following symptoms:
- Pain in men is localized in the lower abdomen and perineum.
- Urinary disorders: increased frequency, pain.
- Violations of potency and sexual function.Persistent disorders are more typical for chronic prostatitis and adenoma.
- Acute is characterized by a thermal reaction: the temperature rises to 38-40 ° C, general intoxication.
Even if the symptoms of prostatitis are mild, it is necessary to treat the disease.In several situations, inadequate treatment of an acute process leads to the development of a chronic process, which, in turn, increases the risk of developing prostate adenoma.
Drug groups
After a complete diagnosis and identification of the causes of the disease, the doctor prescribes a comprehensive drug treatment for prostatitis.Which pills or injections are recommended depends on the above factors.Let's look at the main groups of medicines used in men:
- Antibiotics and antibacterial medications.Before treating the patient, a culture should be performed to identify the pathogen.If this is not possible, antibacterials with a broad spectrum of action are prescribed.
- NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).Effective painkillers.The analgesic effect develops quickly.Anti-inflammatories also reduce fever and fight signs of inflammation.
- Alpha-adrenergic blockers.Included in drug therapy for acute or chronic prostatitis, accompanied by urinary retention.Alpha blockers relax the smooth muscles in the bladder and urinary tract.
- Antispasmodics.The effect is similar to alpha-blockers.By relieving spasms, they also have an analgesic effect.They improve blood microcirculation, which is important in the treatment of chronic and acute prostatitis, as well as in the treatment of adenoma.
- Hormones.Treatment with hormones is recommended in situations where nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs do not resist and inflammation does not decrease.
- Muscle relaxants.The medications have a similar effect to antispasmodics.
- Bioregulatory peptides.A rather “fashionable” group of drugs, also used to prevent prostatitis.They improve the speed of regenerative processes and help eliminate morphological changes.
- Phytotherapy.Homeopathic and herbal remedies are widely used at home to both treat the disease and prevent prostatitis.Some have proven to be effective anti-inflammatories, analgesics, and antispasmodics.The effectiveness with which traditional medicines (alpha-blockers, hormones) solve the problem is not available to them, however, homeopathic medicines can be taken to eliminate problems with urination, increase potency, etc.
The correct amount of medication will be determined exclusively by the doctor.If you try to treat the disease yourself, the process may become chronic or complications may arise.
Therapy methods
You can take pills and injections for prostatitis.These are the most commonly prescribed forms of drug therapy.But you can treat the disease at home in another way - by taking medications in the following forms:
- Enemas.They are most often used with herbal medicines, but this method has not found a response among doctors and some experts are completely against it.
- Candles.Anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic and antibacterial medications have long been produced in the form of suppositories.The reason for its popularity is simple: the anatomical location of the prostate.Its proximity to the rectal wall allows medications to quickly penetrate the site of inflammation.
- Fillers (instillations).Contraindicated at home.They are performed on an outpatient basis in the operating room of a urology office or in a hospital.Anti-inflammatory medications, bioregulatory peptides, and some herbal remedies are introduced through instillations.
What and how to treat the disease must be decided by the doctor.You should not reject any drug treatment method because of the method of drug administration.Most men are more familiar with pills and injections, but other dosage forms may be more effective.
