Prostate problems in men begin at the age of 40.Active inflammation in the prostate gland is caused by infectious viruses and bacteria, decreased immunity, diseases of the reproductive system, hormonal imbalance and sexually transmitted diseases.The process of treating inflammation of the prostate does not cause any particular problems, because modern medicine offers a large number of special medications and drugs that will help quickly and painlessly cope with prostatitis.Very often, in cases of prostate problems, men are prescribed antibiotic treatment.Only a professional urologist can select the appropriate remedy and prescribe treatment.
What antibiotics to choose for prostatitis?
Prostatitis as a pathology is divided into two types: nonbacterial and bacterial (infectious).For nonbacterial prostatitis, antimicrobial medications are not used.This type of remedy is used for chronic and acute types of prostatitis.
In order for a man to understand what kind of antibiotics to take and whether it is necessary to take antibiotics for prostatitis, he must first find the causes of the disease (pathogens).To do this, you must undergo a step-by-step examination, which includes a urine test to identify pathogens (E. coli, chlamydia, mycoplasma, staphylococcus and others).
It should be noted that it is not worth choosing antibiotics for prostatitis on your own.You should know that when choosing antibiotics for treatment, the individual sensitivity of bacteria to the drug must be taken into account.
The choice of antibiotics, dosage and duration of treatment (course) depend on the type of pathology (acute or chronic).In most cases, doctors prescribe broad-spectrum antibiotics to men, in combination with: vitamin therapy, agents for normalizing blood circulation and immunostimulating agents, antidepressants, massage, etc.(it all depends on the type of pathogen, as well as its sensitivity to drugs (antibiotics)).
Groups of antibiotics in the treatment of prostatitis.
Medications used for prostatitis are available in the form of suppositories, tablets, injections or microenemas.Most often, antibiotic tablets (broad-spectrum) are prescribed to men if the causes (pathogens) of the disease have not yet been determined.
Antibiotics for prostatitis are divided into three types:
- penicillins;
- Fluoroquinolones;
- Tetracyclines.
Often during the treatment of prostatitis, suppositories for rectal use are prescribed.Suppositories help relieve pain symptoms, have an anti-inflammatory effect, and also an antibacterial effect.Suppositories, like injectable drugs, act immediately on the body, so treating prostatitis with suppositories is an effective technique.
The fastest acting injectable antibiotics (solutions).Injectable solutions increase the defenses of the immune system and the entire vascular system of the body.In some cases, doctors resort to the instillation method.The instillation method is a process in which a solution (antibiotics) is injected directly into the urethral canal.The procedure is performed with an empty bladder.
Additionally, there is a method of microenemas based on medicinal herbs (infusions, decoctions).This procedure is used in combination with drug treatment.The microenema procedure is performed before bedtime.
Treatment of prostatitis with antibiotics.
The prostatitis treatment process should be comprehensive and include different groups of medications:
- pain relievers;
- hormonal drugs;
- antibiotics;
- alpha blockers;
- Anti-inflammatory and antiviral medications.
Get rid of bacterial prostatitis
Bacterial prostatitis is treated only with antibiotics.Antibiotics in tablet form are taken for chronic and acute prostatitis;The treatment lasts approximately 30 days.If prostatitis becomes more severe or complications appear, treatment will continue by injecting antibiotics into the urethral canal.
Additionally, in combination with antibiotic treatment, pain relievers may be prescribed.But you have to be careful when taking them together, because an excessive dose of the drug (pain reliever) can lead to the development of negative side effects.
chronic prostatitis
For chronic (non-bacterial) prostatitis, alpha blockers are prescribed.Antibiotics of this type relax the neck and bladder muscles and reduce pain (when urinating).It is worth noting that drugs in this group have side effects, such as headache and hypotension.
For chronic prostatitis (various forms), hormone-containing medications are prescribed.The fact is that an excess of the male hormone testosterone in a man's blood activates the proliferation process of the prostate gland.During treatment, hormonal levels level out and return to normal, while inflammatory processes disappear.In addition to additional treatment measures, herbal remedies are used to help relieve swelling and inflammation.
viral prostatitis
For viral prostatitis, drugs with an antiviral spectrum of action are prescribed.
The course of treatment is supplemented by non-steroidal antiviral drugs.This group eliminates pain, swelling and anti-inflammatory processes.In addition to the listed medications, medications are used to improve blood flow to the prostate.
To strengthen the immune system while taking antibiotics for prostatitis, immunomodulators are used.
Antibiotic treatment regimen for prostatitis.
When prostatitis is treated with antibiotics, the course of treatment can range from 6 to 12 weeks.Medicines from different groups can be taken alternatively or in combination.
In severe cases, prostatitis can cause side effects: fever, headache, prostate pain.In such cases, the doctor prescribes antibiotics by injection (intravenously).The duration of this course is 4 weeks - 6, 7 weeks.
The doctor can prescribe several medications at the same time.
After a course of antibiotics, the man's condition should improve;In cases where the condition does not improve, there is a possibility that the disease is caused by bacteria (infections).
It is completely prohibited to complete the treatment yourself!Even if the man's condition has improved.Prostatitis is a very insidious disease that has relapses.
Effective remedies for the treatment of prostatitis.
Only a professional urologist can select an effective and correct drug and prescribe treatment.
To avoid complications and further development of the disease, follow the exact antibiotic regimen prescribed by your doctor.Do not self-medicate, do not use drugs from little-known pharmaceutical companies.Medicines from the "antibiotics" group have side effects that can harm the health of all men, including sexual activity and general normal well-being.
