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 proved to be quite effective. Of course, this significantly prolongs the recovery process, but patients don't have to go through a long recovery period after surgery. The functionality of the prostate is regulated with the help of pills. This treatment is designed to help the man deal with the 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 drug methods can completely slow down or stop the process of hyperplasia of organ tissues.
Drug treatment of prostate adenoma is not mandatory, therefore, 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 worsening of already manifested symptoms;
- decreased quality of vital signs;
- increased need for surgery;
- acute signs of urinary retention.
Modern studies have shown that drugs for treating prostate adenoma and prostatitis have become gentler on the body in general 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 urination process. Also, surgery cannot be avoided if there is a violation of the kidneys.
Indications for drug treatment
Medications to eliminate the symptoms of adenoma and prostatitis are selected in cases when:
- hyperplasia develops again after a planned operation;
- the patient's age does not allow for surgical intervention;
- a man voluntarily writes a refusal of the operation.
In addition, there are cases in which drug treatment is categorically contraindicated, as it cannot provide quick care in an emergency.
Medicines for treatment
With an increase in the symptoms of prostate adenoma and prostatitis, various medications are prescribed that can alleviate a man's condition. More effective in cases with moderate degree of the disease. All drugs for the treatment of prostate can be combined into two main groups:
- alpha blockers, which have a relaxing effect on the prostate muscles;
- inhibitors reduce the size of the prostate and slow or completely stop its further enlargement.
Combination therapy is also relevant in modern medicine, which is used in cases of significant prostate enlargement in volume. The combination of drugs avoids surgery. The only disadvantage of this treatment is the manifestation of side effects of two types of the drug at the same time. Medications for treating the prostate can lower blood pressure, so these medications are not suitable for hypotensive patients.
Tamusolosin-based drugs are effective drugs for the treatment of prostatitis and prostate adenoma. They bring quick relief, alleviate the first symptoms and help to deal with the main cause of the disease. In addition, these drugs have a minimal number of side effects.
Avoiding surgery is obtained in case of taking drugs based on 5 alpha reductase inhibitors.
antibiotic therapy
Antibiotics for adenoma are only used if an acute bacterial infection is linked to it. Antibiotics also help to get rid of fever, chills and fever. The general condition is improving. Prostate inflammation perfectly relieves fluoroquinolones.
After antibiotics, a course of antifungal agents is often prescribed. This is due to the fact that antibacterial drugs violate the body's microflora, provoking the reproduction of fungi.
Essencial oils
Often, patients try to recover from prostatitis and adenoma on their own, without resorting to medical and surgical methods. Of course, there are folk remedies that can help in this situation. It is worth considering the most effective and commonly used of them. Essential oils and, in particular, spruce oil help to alleviate 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, there should be no 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 with spruce 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 spruce oil is added in a volume of 10 drops. The drug is also injected into the rectum at night. It 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 tested repeatedly, so it is considered scientifically proven.
In traditional medicine, prostate massage is used with the addition of fir oil. Of course, this procedure is performed only by a qualified physician. A side effect in the form of a burning sensation is possible. In that case, it is better to refuse this 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 have an examination and start treatment. There is nothing to worry about here, because it is better to use medicines and folk remedies than to go through recovery after surgery.
