The male genitourinary system is prone to the development of inflammatory processes associated with exposure to organ tissues of pathogenic microflora. Non -compliance with the rules of hygiene, unprotected sex, weakened immunity, lack of regular sports activities - all these are factors that trigger the development of stagnation and inflammation of the prostate gland.
Symptoms of acute prostatitis are the basis for immediate medical treatment, and chronic forms of the disease require constant monitoring.
Therapy of various forms of prostatitis
To date, doctors use certain treatment regimens for inflammatory bowel disease. The choice of drugs largely depends on the form of prostatitis and the degree of manifestation of its symptoms.
In acute inflammation, fast -acting drugs with antibacterial properties are shown.
The doctor should prescribe treatment after examination and determination of the type of microorganism that causes the development of prostatitis. Sometimes, with acute symptoms, antibacterial medications are prescribed immediately when the patient comes in contact. In the future, after receiving the results of laboratory tests, the urologist may prescribe another medication for prostatitis.
The basis for the appointment of one or another type of antibiotic is the result of microbiological culture.
If the acute form of the disease is treated quickly, then with chronic prostatitis, therapy can last up to six months. Usually the doctor prescribes various types of medications that should be taken according to the scheme provided. It is important to remember that the prostate gland in chronic diseases can become inflamed repeatedly, so patients should regularly visit a doctor and carry out the prescribed course of treatment after the second examination.
Preparations for the treatment of prostatitis are selected depending on the severity of the symptoms of the disease and its cause. Inflammation should be treated with medications aimed at reducing symptoms, which are usually indicated by urinary problems, pain syndrome and a deterioration in the quality of sexual life. If the drug for prostatitis is chosen correctly, the patient after a week sees a decrease in discomfort in the pelvis and the amount of discharge from the urethra, normalization of urine outflow.
The fast action of the product is not a guarantee of its best effectiveness.
Many drugs for prostatitis reduce the manifestations of the disease in a relatively short time, so patients consider it the most effective. Actually, this is not entirely true, as not all medications can eliminate the cause of the disease.
Medications prescribed for prostatitis should be selected after identifying the provoking factors.
Conduct antibiotic therapy
Before using prostatitis drugs with antibacterial properties, the patient must undergo an examination, which includes not only external examination, but also the study of blood, semen, urine, bacterioscopy smears from the urethra. The results of the analysis allow the urologist to accurately determine the choice of antibacterial drug. If several types of microbes are detected at once, the prescribed course should consist of two or more drugs.
When two antibiotics are prescribed, they can be given in different ways, for example, in the form of injections and tablets.
With acute prostatitis, antibiotic therapy is mandatory. With mild symptoms of the disease, antibiotics are indicated to prevent infection. The urologist decides which medication the patient should take after receiving the test transcript.
Modern approaches to the treatment of acute inflammatory diseases of the prostate involve the use of antibiotics for a week and a half. For the treatment of chronic forms, this scheme is provided for a longer period - about two months.
Drugs containing levofloxacin in its composition relieve inflammation well. This substance can quickly accumulate in the affected tissues and destroy streptococci and staphylococci. The drug is very effective, but can lead to the development of undesirable effects on the gastrointestinal tract and cardiovascular system.
Before starting treatment with the drug, you should carefully study the side effects described in the annotations and the rules for taking tablets.
Tablets should be taken only after meals, otherwise irritation of the mucous membranes of the stomach and intestines may occur. If this drug for prostatitis causes a strong deterioration in well -being, it is better to consult a doctor.
In chronic inflammation of the prostate, drugs that act on various types of pathogens have a beneficial effect.
Against the background of taking the drug, serious disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, including the liver, may appear, so doctors recommend adding a course of treatment with hepatoprotectors. In the event of an adverse reaction of the body, the urologist changes the scheme according to which prostatitis is treated in men, and the drugs are selected depending on the existing pathology.
The drug, which belongs to the group of macrolides, is effective against the simplest microorganisms - mycoplasma, ureaplasma, chlamydia
When detecting chlamydia and mycoplasmosis, drugs from a number of macrolides and cephalosporins are used. The use of the penicillin group is also desirable in the treatment of prostate disease.
Anti-inflammatory drugs
After the examination, the doctor decides which anti-inflammatory medication to be prescribed to the patient. The active components of the fund help restore the process of urination and reduce pain.
About what medications relieve pain and swelling, you should ask your doctor. In chronic inflammation, drugs are being used with great success, which increase blood supply to the glands, prevent thrombosis, relieve swelling and improve the process of urination.

Many new drugs designed to treat prostatitis contain these animal components with efficiencies certified by urologists.
As an additional component, the preparation contains the most important trace element for the male body, zinc, which helps restore potency, often reduced in chronic prostatitis. Wax can be used for hemorrhoids and damage to the intestinal mucosa.
Drugs with analgesic effect
Pain that occurs during exacerbation of the disease helps remove the drug with analgesic effect.
NSAIDs have a good effect, which quickly penetrate the prostate gland and have an analgesic effect.
In the process of inflammation, accompanied by serious problems with the outflow of urine, urologists prescribe muscle relaxants, which help to relax the muscle tissue of the prostate and bladder, and restore urination. The drug is also used for hypertension, with a tendency to low blood pressure and liver disorders, it is contraindicated.
The way of the people

With heaviness and discomfort in the pelvis, chamomile, St. John's wort. John, thyme is used. It is useful to add honey to the prepared healing drink.

Before the procedure, it is useful to add 5-8 drops of lavender or tea tree essential oil into the water collected in the container. Sometimes doctors recommend a bath with a concentrate of conifers. With prostatitis, there is no need to allow hypothermia, therefore, since it is cold, it is advisable to add hot water into the bath. The duration of the bath is an average of 20 minutes.

If such a body reaction is not observed, honey can be consumed daily in two to three tablespoons.
To relieve congestion, doctors recommend massaging the prostate. The procedure is performed with a finger inserted into the rectum or a special device, the cost of which directly depends on the number of functions. The device can be equipped with a vibration mechanism. Such an effect is useful for swelling and stagnation of prostate secretions in the glands. Any medical procedure should be performed only after a full examination and consultation with a urologist.
