Prostate problems in men begin at age 40.Active inflammation in the prostate 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 in the prostate gland does not cause any particular problems, because modern medicine offers a large number of medicines and special medicines that help to deal with prostatitis quickly and painlessly.Most often, in cases of prostate problems, men are treated with antibiotics.Only a professional urologist can select the right medicine and prescribe treatment.
Which antibiotics to choose for prostatitis
Prostatitis as a pathology is divided into two types: non-bacterial and bacterial (infectious).For non-bacterial prostatitis, antimicrobial drugs are not used.This type of medicine 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 first needs to 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, staphylococci and others).
It should be noted that you should not choose 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, means for normalizing blood circulation and immunostimulating agents, antidepressants, massages, etc.(it all depends on the type of pathogen, as well as its sensitivity to medications (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 for 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 are prescribed for rectal use.Suppositories help relieve pain symptoms, have an anti-inflammatory and also antibacterial effect.Suppositories, like injectable medications, act immediately on the body, therefore, 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 (antibiotic) is injected directly into the urethral canal.The procedure is performed with an empty bladder.
In addition, 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:
- analgesics;
- hormonal drugs;
- antibiotics;
- alpha-blockers;
- anti-inflammatory and antiviral medications.
Get rid of bacterial prostatitis
Bacterial prostatitis is treated with antibiotics alone.Antibiotics in tablets are taken for chronic and acute prostatitis, treatment lasts about 30 days.If prostatitis worsens or complications arise, treatment continues with the injection of antibiotics into the urethral canal.
Additionally, in combination with antibiotic treatment, pain relievers may be prescribed.But care should be taken when taking them together, as an excessive dosage of the drug (analgesic) can provoke the development of negative side effects.
Chronic prostatitis
For chronic (non-bacterial) prostatitis, alpha-blockers are prescribed.Antibiotics of this type relax the bladder neck and muscles, reduce pain (when urinating).It is worth noting that medications in this group have side effects, including headache and hypotension.
For chronic prostatitis (various forms), hormone-containing drugs are prescribed.The fact is that an excess of the male hormone testosterone in a man's blood activates the process of prostate proliferation.During treatment, hormonal levels stabilize and return to normal and, at the same time, 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 with non-steroidal antiviral drugs.This group eliminates pain, swelling and anti-inflammatory processes.In addition to the medications listed, 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 treating prostatitis with antibiotics, the course of treatment can vary from 6 to 12 weeks.Medicines from different groups can be taken alternately or in combination.
In severe cases, prostatitis can cause side effects: fever, headache, prostate pain.In these cases, the doctor prescribes antibiotics by injection (intravenously).The duration of this course is 4 weeks - 6.7 weeks.
The doctor may 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).
Self-completion of treatment is completely prohibited!Even though 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 medicine 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 medicines from little-known pharmaceutical companies.Medicines in the “antibiotics” group have side effects that can harm the health of all men, including sexual activity and normal well-being in general.
