Timely initiation of prostatitis treatment is the main rule that will help men to recover quickly. A neglected disease is treated immediately. But in the initial stages, therapeutic treatment is quite acceptable. Pharmacists offer effective tablets for prostatitis. But there are many of them, and each drug has its own characteristics. Which pills to choose for treatment or prevention? This article will help you answer this question.
How to choose?
First of all, it is worth noting that it is not necessary to choose pills for the treatment or prevention of prostatitis by yourself, focusing only on lists and reviews on the Internet - this can be dangerous, because the wrong medicine can only harm. Tablets against prostatitis are better left to the doctor.
The doctor will conduct a series of tests, confirm the diagnosis, determine the exact form and stage of prostatitis, and also reveal the individual characteristics of the man. Based on the information received, the specialist will draw up a treatment program and a list of pills to be taken by a particular patient.
Treatment of acute and chronic prostatitis involves taking different types of pills for different symptoms. It can be:
- Antibiotics.
- Painkillers.
- Medicines for inflammation.
- Adrenoblockers.
- Medicines that improve blood flow and remove stagnant formations.
Let's make a list of groups of pills for the treatment and prevention of prostatitis, and also learn about their purpose, indications, application characteristics, prices.
Agents against pathogenic flora
Prostatitis is often accompanied by an infection with bacterial flora, which causes serious complications. To eliminate harmful pathogens, antibiotics must be taken. In addition to eliminating bacteria, antibiotic pills help reduce toxicity and stop inflammation.
Unfortunately, it is often impossible to cure prostatitis without antibiotics. In the reviews, you can find many stories that men refused to take these drugs, fearing side effects, and as a result started their disease.
Often, for the treatment of acute and chronic prostatitis, doctors prescribe tablets from the penicillin and cephalosporin series to patients. Broad-spectrum antibiotics are also prescribed.
Anti-inflammatory
Prostatitis is always an inflammation of the prostate. In addition, if it is not treated, the inflammation in the tissues will progress quickly, causing very unpleasant symptoms (pain, retention of urine due to compression of the urinary canals, problems with erection). Often, by reducing the inflammation, it is possible to remove the symptoms of prostatitis. To do this, the doctor prescribes men drugs from the list of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
A group of alpha-blockers
In 85% of cases, prostatitis is accompanied by difficulty urinating - a man experiences a constant need, but at the same time cannot normally go to the toilet. To normalize the process, you can take special drugs - alpha-blockers.
Against pain
In case of exacerbation of prostatitis, when a man suffers from severe pain, antispasmodics should be taken. These tablets relax the smooth muscles of the prostate, improve blood circulation and thereby relieve pain. Most often, doctors recommend taking analgesics.
Other
In addition to antibiotics, anti-inflammatory and painkillers, additional drugs may be prescribed in the treatment complex for a man with prostatitis. For example, in case of prostatitis, a drug is often prescribed that is needed for venotonic and venoprotective action. It is prescribed for congestive formations in the prostate and relieves symptoms. It is taken in courses (at least 2 weeks). The drug must be taken carefully, as it has many contraindications (before starting treatment, be sure to consult your doctor).
Doctors often advise their patients to take vitamin supplements and natural complexes that contain substances that are beneficial for the prostate along with their medications.
So, we have compiled a list of the most popular groups of pills used to treat prostatitis. Please note that this information is provided for informational purposes only.
Do not choose your own medication. The fact is that in one case a certain drug can be effective, and in another - contraindicated. That's why tablets against prostatitis should be chosen by a doctor - based on data on the form and stage of prostatitis, the specialist will be able to determine which tablets will be the most effective for a particular patient. Do not risk and self-medicate - it can be dangerous!
