Treatment of prostatitis in men involves the use of both drugs and physiotherapy. Phytotherapy, glandular massage, acupuncture can be prescribed to patients as an additional method. This is an integrated approach that allows not only to prevent the exacerbation of the disease, but also to get rid of it completely. Drug treatment of prostatitis is always carried out in courses and is prescribed only after a thorough examination of the prostate gland.
Medications for prostatitis will only be effective if prescribed correctly by a doctor.

As a rule, urologists prescribe several types of drugs to patients with inflammatory diseases of the prostate gland. This allows you to deal more quickly with disorders of the prostate gland. Antibacterial and immunostimulatory drugs, muscle relaxants, hormonal agents and alpha-blockers are used to improve the condition.
The attending physician, after a thorough study of the analysis and ultrasound results, prescribes an individual therapy regimen for each patient.
It is not possible to independently choose drugs for prostatitis, as it can lead not only to the condition of the prostate gland, but also to a deterioration in overall well-being.
Drug treatment of chronic prostatitis with antibiotics is not always indicated. If the patient has no symptoms of the disease and at the same time feels normal, this group of drugs may not be prescribed. In this case, chronic prostatitis can be treated with herbal medicines and alpha-blockers.
Antibacterial drugs
When chlamydia and other infections are detected, fluoroquinolones can be used, which have high bioavailability and can penetrate the prostate mucosa as soon as possible.
After the diagnosis of prostatitis, the patient is prescribed medications, including antibiotics. The regimen is chosen by the doctor depending on the patient's condition.
If the use of fluoroquinolones does not have the desired effect, the doctor may prescribe a course of other drugs. If laboratory tests show chlamydia, tetracyclines are recommended. Their effectiveness is due to the rapid penetration of the active components of the drug into the prostate gland and the specific nature of the drug to destroy pathological microorganisms as quickly as possible.
With repeated treatment, before treating recurrent prostatitis in men with medication, the doctor develops a new regimen to take the antibacterial drug that contains the lowest doses. If the selected drugs are ineffective, it may indicate that they are not suitable for the patient or have been prescribed incorrectly.
Drugs with antibacterial effect are indicated only when pathogenic microorganisms cause prostatitis.
It is important to remember that bacteria are almost always present in the human body in one way or another. During the normal functioning of the immune system, they are immobile and do not pose a particular threat to health. Weakening of the immune system under the influence of other stimuli leads to the activation of pathogenic microflora that penetrates the prostate tissue and causes acute disease.
The acute stage of bacterial prostatitis requires the use of antibacterial agents. If left untreated, inflammatory processes can spread to the bladder, urethra and kidneys. There is evidence of a link between bacterial prostatitis and urolithiasis. Lack of antibiotic therapy leads to a chronic form of the disease, which is more difficult and takes longer to treat.
Principles of purpose
In acute prostatitis, medications are prescribed immediately after the patient's general examination and questioning. As a rule, the urologist does not wait for the results of tests and in the first days prescribes a regimen that includes taking macrolides, fluoroquinolones and aminoglycosides. In rare cases, patients are prescribed erythromycin antibiotics, because such agents can not cause mass destruction of bacterial microorganisms.
After receiving the test results, the urologist may change the regimen or prescribe other medications. In mild prostatitis, the use of only one drug is justified. The age of the man and the presence of other diseases should be taken into account when choosing a drug. If the patient suffers from liver or kidney disease, the doses can be adjusted according to the degree of organ dysfunction.
The patient should inform the urologist about the medication he or she has recently taken.
If for some reason a man is taking antibiotics, the doctor should take this fact into account, because such drugs may be ineffective.
If the universal regimen prescribed to the patient does not give the desired effect, another with a stronger effect can be used. To increase the effect, antibiotics are prescribed in the form of injections, so a patient with acute inflammation of the prostate can be hospitalized. Treatment of prostatitis at home is carried out with antibacterial drugs in capsule form. In this case, it is extremely important to follow all the rules for obtaining such funds. If you go beyond the scheme, the therapy may be ineffective. Cancellation or extension of the course is carried out only by a doctor.
Properly selected antibacterial drugs usually have a positive effect on the third day after taking them. If symptoms persist, a urologist should be consulted to review the treatment regimen.
Hormonal drugs and candles
Properly prescribed medication helps reduce the symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease. First of all, the discomfort caused by prostatitis during urination begins to disappear. Pain, bladder problems, and erectile dysfunction may persist when using inappropriate medications. Some men have a tendency to gradually deteriorate. Very often, in the absence of immunomodulators in the treatment regimen, the disease may return.
In the absence of positive results in the treatment of chronic prostatitis, the patient is prescribed hormonal agents. They help to eliminate inflammation and restore an erection.
Although such drugs are effective, they can have many side effects, so they should be used with caution, following the exact dose recommended by your doctor.
Rectal suppositories can also be used as an adjunct to inflammation of the gland. Such suppositories are usually well tolerated by patients because they contain natural ingredients. A complex based on honey, propolis, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic herbal extracts have a good effect.
Rectal suppositories help eliminate swelling of the pancreas, reduce pain and normalize blood microcirculation.
Today, you can buy suppositories or tablets based on sublimated bovine prostate in pharmacies. They improve the structure of prostate tissue, eliminate inflammation and help accelerate regenerative processes.
The use of a complex containing vitamins and trace elements is indicated to restore the weakened body and strengthen the immune system after inflammatory diseases of the prostate gland. Patients may also be prescribed antioxidant medications to help prevent the development of prostate hyperplasia and malignant neoplasms.
