Starting treatment for the inflammatory process in the prostate on time is the main rule that will help men quickly get rid of the disease and prevent complications and relapses.There are so many different drugs available now that it is very easy to get confused about them.All tablets for prostatitis are positioned as the most effective means for preventing or getting rid of the disease, but upon closer examination, more than half of them are not very effective; they eliminate the symptoms, but do not get rid of the cause.Let's consider inexpensive and effective options.
Types of medicinal assistants
Antibiotics, painkillers, Chinese or domestic pharmaceutical products, etc.?Which ones help the best?In order for men to choose the right medications, they must first consult a doctor.The specialist will analyze the degree of sensitivity of the body to a particular drug, determine the type and stage of the disease, and also study the individual characteristics of the body.Based on all this data, the doctor will prescribe a course of treatment and tell you which pills a particular patient needs to take against prostatitis.
The drug course for relieving men of acute and chronic prostatitis includes the use of the following drugs (all tablets are for treatment, not for prevention!):
- Antibiotics.
- Antispasmodics.
- Anti-inflammatory drugs.
- Alpha adrenergic blockers.
- Medicines that improve blood circulation.
Let's look at all the pills for prostatitis in a little more detail: their purpose, features, etc.
Antibiotics
It is necessary to take antibiotics for acute and chronic forms.The main tasks assigned to antibiotics are to destroy pathogenic flora, reduce intoxication and the inflammatory process and, as a result, speed up recovery.It is impossible to treat men for prostatitis without antibiotics, since this is the most effective remedy.
All antibiotic tablets are divided into the following groups:
- Fluoroquinolones.Tablets that are needed to treat chronic prostatitis.
- Aminopenicillins.The prescription of aminopenicillins is common for mild, uncomplicated stages (with acute processes and infrequent exacerbations of chronic prostatitis in men).
- Cephalosporins.Tablets with a wide range of applications (for the treatment of any form), but the drugs have a short-term antibacterial effect.
- Macrolides.Antibiotics with the least effectiveness against prostatitis in men, but also with minimal toxic effects.
- Tetracyclines.Well tolerated.They have the highest natural activity among all antibiotics against atypical microorganisms (chlamydia and mycoplasmas).
It is impossible to talk about which of the listed remedies is better than others, since men have individual susceptibility to the drugs.
Anti-inflammatory
To relieve inflammation, doctors recommend taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which can eliminate unpleasant signs of pathology and reduce swelling in the prostate in men, thereby reducing pain.Painkillers are necessary during therapy, as they allow you to relieve unpleasant symptoms and proceed to the next stage.If the patient is insensitive to this group of drugs, then he is prescribed strong hormonal drugs.
Alpha blockers
This type of tablet is prescribed as an adjuvant for the treatment of prostatitis in men (that is, it is not aimed at getting rid of the problem, but eliminates the symptoms and helps in the action of other, stronger drugs).Prescribed for men with moderate severity of the disease who experience difficulty urinating.
The list of alpha-blockers is not so extensive.Each drug is aimed against spasm in the prostate and bladder neck, reduces pressure in the urethra and increases the outflow of urine.
Feedback from experts is clear: treatment with alpha blockers is generally well tolerated.Minor side effects may occur if you are hypersensitive to the components included in the tablets.
Antispasmodics
In case of acute prostatitis, men are prescribed tablets that relieve spasms.Their effectiveness is based on the fact that they relax the smooth muscles of blood vessels, increase blood microcirculation and thereby reduce inflammation and act as pain relievers.
As patient reviews show, antispasmodics are very effective against spasms and can quickly eliminate unpleasant symptoms and relieve severe pain in the groin area.
To improve blood circulation
A common cause of pathology is stagnant formations.They do not allow the organs to recover and interfere with the normal action of antibiotics.That is why it is impossible to treat prostatitis if, in parallel with antibiotics, you do not take medications that improve blood circulation.
What is preferable to use against acute and chronic prostatitis?Antibiotics, antispasmodics or painkillers?The list of drugs is extensive, there is a whole range of measures indicating how to treat prostatitis with the help of tablets - some are needed for prevention, others are aimed at destroying viruses, others should be taken to increase blood flow, relieve spasms and eliminate inflammation.Moreover, there are so many medications in each group that it is impossible to do without the help of an expert.Moreover, each type of tablet has its own characteristics and contraindications.
Contact doctors and follow their advice - they will prescribe you the best and inexpensive medicines and take care of your recovery.And don’t forget about disease prevention - it’s easier to prevent a disease than to get rid of it later!
