In recent years, the attitude towards the treatment of prostate adenoma and prostatitis has changed significantly. Such a diagnosis is no longer an unequivocal indicator for surgical intervention, the drugs turned out to be quite effective. Of course, this significantly lengthens the recovery process, but patients do not have to go through a long recovery period after surgery. The functionality of the prostate is regulated with the help of tablets. Such treatment is designed to help a man cope with aggravating symptoms as much as possible.
As a rule, drugs perfectly cure the initial stage of prostate adenoma, and relieve complications in later stages. This is explained by the fact that pharmacological methods can slow down or completely stop the process of hyperplasia of organ tissues.
Drug treatment of prostate adenoma is not mandatory, so each patient has the right to refuse it by choosing an operation. Patients are often motivated by the fact that such drugs have many side effects.
If drug treatment is refused, the following complications are likely to develop:
- disease progression, as well as aggravation of symptoms that are already manifested;
- decreased quality of vital signs;
- an increased need for surgery;
- Acute signs of urinary retention.
Modern studies have shown that drugs for the treatment of prostate adenoma and prostatitis have become gentler on the body as a whole and harmful to the focus of inflammation. Now surgery is used only as a last resort, when there are pathological changes in the organ and significant difficulties in the process of urination. Also, surgery can not be avoided if there is a violation of the kidneys.
Indications for pharmacological treatment.
Drugs to eliminate the symptoms of adenoma and prostatitis are selected in cases where:
- hyperplasia develops again after a planned operation;
- the patient's age does not allow surgical intervention;
- a man voluntarily writes a refusal of the operation.
Along with this, there are cases when drug treatment is categorically contraindicated, since it is not able to provide rapid assistance in an emergency.
Medications for treatment
With an increase in the symptoms of prostate adenoma and prostatitis, various drugs are prescribed that can alleviate a man's condition. Most effective in cases with a moderate degree of the disease. All drugs for the treatment of the prostate can be combined into two main groups:
- alpha blockers, which have a relaxing effect on the muscles of the prostate;
- inhibitors reduce the volume of the prostate and slow down or completely stop its further enlargement.
Also in modern medicine, combined therapy is relevant, which is used in cases of a significant increase in the volumes of the prostate. The combination of drugs avoids surgery. The only drawback of this treatment is the manifestation of side effects of two types of drugs at once. Drugs for the treatment of the prostate gland can lower blood pressure, so such drugs are not suitable for hypotensive patients.
Tamusolosin-based drugs are effective drugs for the treatment of prostatitis and prostate adenoma. They provide quick relief, relieve the first symptoms and help to cope with the main cause of the disease. Also, these drugs show a minimal number of side effects.
It is possible to avoid surgery in the case of taking drugs based on 5 alpha reductase inhibitors.
antibiotic therapy
Antibiotics for adenoma are used only if an acute bacterial infection is attached to it. Antibiotics also help get rid of fever, chills, and fever. The general condition is improving. Inflammation of the prostate perfectly relieves fluoroquinolones.
After antibiotics, a course of antifungal agents is often prescribed. This is due to the fact that antibacterial drugs violate the microflora of the body and provoke the reproduction of fungi.
Essential oils
Often patients try to recover from prostatitis and adenoma on their own, without resorting to medical and surgical methods. Of course, there are home remedies that can help in this situation. It is worth considering the most effective and commonly used. Essential oils and, in particular, fir oil help relieve the inflammatory process and eliminate the main symptoms of the disease.
To prepare a folk remedy, sea buckthorn and spruce oil are mixed in equal proportions and moistened with a gauze swab. It is very important not to overdo the oil. In total, it should not be more than 10 drops per session. The tampon is inserted into the anus and is not removed until the next act of defecation. Also in pharmacies you can order the manufacture of candles from fir oil. The duration of treatment is approximately 25-30 days.
Fir oil is able to kill bacteria, warm the area of an enlarged organ, and act as an excellent pain reliever.
Cocoa butter-based candles are widely used, where fir oil is added in a volume of 10 drops. The medicine is also injected into the rectum at night. Relieves pain, inflammation and reduces the size of the prostate. Sexual functions are restored, the general condition of the body improves. This method has been repeatedly tested, so it is considered scientifically proven.
In traditional medicine, prostate massage is used with the addition of fir oil. Of course, this procedure is only done by a qualified doctor. A side effect in the form of a burning sensation is possible. In this case, it is better to refuse such treatment and look for an alternative.
In the fight against prostate adenoma and prostatitis, there are many ways, the main thing is to decide to undergo an examination and start treatment. There is nothing to worry about here, because it is better to use medicines and home remedies than to go through recovery after surgery.
