Prostatitis problems should not be left without proper treatment and attention. The body is not able to deal with this disease alone. The complex of measures that help in inflammation of the prostate includes treatment of prostatitis with pills.
The pills can have general or targeted effects. It is not worth choosing alone in a wide range of pharmacies. There is a high probability of not only not achieving the desired result, but also of getting side effects.
It is more correct to find a doctor who knows your prostate health well and follow his instructions. This will save your home budget and provide faster results. After all, the main characteristic that distinguishes the treatment of prostatitis with antibiotics and pills is precisely the responsible and rational approach to the subject.
Taking pills for prostatitis
After examining the results of laboratory tests and direct examination of the prostate (and possibly the entire genitourinary system), the doctor prescribes the appropriate therapy.
An integrated approach is practiced more often. Among the drugs, depending on the stage of development of the disease, they can prescribe:
- Painkillers;
- Antispasmodics;
- Anti-inflammatory;
- Antibiotics;
- Antiviral medications.
- Alpha blockers.
Often, a specialist needs to combine known drugs to get a result in the shortest possible time. The dosage is selected individually. It is influenced not only by the results of the clinical examination, but also by the characteristics of age, lifestyle, hospitalization capacity or absence.
It must be kept in mind that during treatment one should forget about the use of alcoholic beverages. And this is not only true for antibiotics. Any medications, when combined with a course of treatment with libations, lose their effectiveness and can lead to side effects due to the high burden on the liver.
The interruption of the therapeutic course should not be allowed. The more precisely the instructions of the attending physician are followed, the more effective the therapy will be. If the patient initially does not have a substantial amount of money for treatment, it is necessary to immediately discuss the choice of medications with the urologist.
The modern pharmacological market has a wide range of generics (cheaper analogs of patented drugs), which do not differ in their effectiveness from the advertised pills.
Popular pills for prostatitis
- fluoroquinolone-based;
- containing penicillin;
- with macrolides;
- with tetracyclines.
Treatment of prostatitis with pills
When treating a patient with pronounced pain symptoms, the doctor will, first of all, prescribe pain relievers that can relieve pain. As a rule, they are pain relievers. Many of them contribute not only to the relief of pain, but also to the relief of inflammation. Most of the time, this type of consultation is typical of acute prostatitis.
If acute prostatitis is essential, and not the result of an untreated chronic form, anti-inflammatories are perfectly capable of completely eliminating the disease in the early stages.
Most likely, they will be prescribed in combination with antibiotics or antiviral agents. However, it is the suppression of the development of the inflammatory process that underlies the successful treatment of prostatitis.
Often, inflammation of the prostate is accompanied by a painful contraction of the muscle tissue that makes up the prostate. In that case, antispasmodic pills are prescribed. They improve blood circulation and help muscles to relax, which reduces pain.
Observation! For urination problems, medications are needed to reduce tension in the urethra and bladder. Muscle relaxants have a good effect. They prevent the muscles from contracting in a painful way and make going to the bathroom a lot easier.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis with pills may also require the use of alpha blockers. These medications involve a long course of administration and are prescribed for difficulty in urinating and urinary retention. This therapy helps to control the prostate enlargement process and significantly reduces the intensity of painful symptoms.
The bacterial form of prostatitis implies the mandatory treatment of prostatitis with pills that can have a targeted effect in the fight against pathogenic microorganisms.
Antibiotics can be administered intramuscularly as a hospital treatment. However, more often, they are prescribed in the form of pills for internal use. This is convenient for those who cannot afford a long sick leave.
Conclusion
Antibiotics are an integral part of the treatment of acute prostatitis. The chronic process of inflammation of the prostate, caused by bacterial infection, also involves a course of antibiotic therapy.
