With such complications, it is almost impossible to restore the full functioning of the prostate gland.
Very often bacterial prostatitis develops. It is caused by many bacteria that can be sexually transmitted. So, to keep men's health, you need to avoid promiscuity. Bacterial prostatitis can also occur on the basis of hypothermia, other infectious and viral diseases.
Nonbacterial prostatitis is also commonly diagnosed. The cause of this inflammation can be due to the following factors:
- Stagnation in the pelvic organs;
- capillary stasis;
- Low immunity;
- Nervous tension;

Therefore, every man should know the first symptoms of prostatitis. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the frequent use of the toilet. If a young man goes to the bathroom more than twice at night, you may suspect the onset of prostatitis. In this case, dysuria, dysuria. And the bladder is not completely empty.
The inflammatory process of the prostate gland is always accompanied by pain. Pain extending down to the perineum, testicles, anus, rectum, back, legs, waist, lower abdomen.

Prostatitis adversely affects male fertility. Due to blocked vas deferens, narrow tubes, testicles do not produce enough sperm. In addition, over time, potency decreases, an inadequate erection develops. One sign of prostatitis can be premature ejaculation, or the complete absence of orgasm.
What are the treatments for prostatitis?
Choosing the right treatment for prostatitis also means choosing the correct medication. Depending on the severity of the disease process, its stage and form, different drugs are selected. So, there are forms of prostatitis: bacterial, acute, nonbacterial, chronic, asymptomatic. For example, acute and chronic prostatitis are treated with completely different drugs.
Diagnosis plays an important role in drug selection. Only after the results are available, the doctor will prescribe the most effective prostatitis drugs. In any form of the disease, tablets differ in the speed of action. They are assigned anyway. Such drugs can be natural, antibiotics, pain relievers, anti-inflammatory drugs. Such drugs have a wide range of effects. This group of drugs can be divided into the following groups: fluoroquinolones, penicillins, tetracyclines.
Other therapies include:
- Candle. Rectal suppositories have an analgesic and antibacterial effect.
- Injections. The drug penetrates the body very quickly, will quickly stimulate the activity of the vascular and immune systems.

For a quick recovery, it is common to carry out complex therapies. So, it is customary to use such drugs for prostatitis simultaneously: tablets, suppositories, injections. After recovery, men are recommended to increase immunity. In addition, in addition to taking drugs, urologists recommend participating in a course of physiotherapy, prostate massage. Such manipulations will help the male body quickly get rid of stagnation in the prostate gland, improve blood circulation in the prostate.
Antibiotics for prostatitis
These drugs are always prescribed in cases of bacterial prostatitis. First, the type of bacteria causing the disease is identified. Be sure to perform bacterial cultures to determine the resistance of microorganisms to antibiotics. After all, if the medication is not used correctly, prostatitis will continue to develop. Today, fluoroquinolones are very popular and highly effective. These drugs are used to treat chronic prostatitis.
Tetracycline is used less and less to treat prostate cancer. This is because such drugs are difficult to tolerate in the body and can cause diseases of other systems and organs. Preparations of the penicillin group are widely used. They have a very good antibacterial effect.
Painkillers for Prostatitis
Pain relievers are prescribed for any form of prostatitis. They will help in the shortest possible time to put an end to the pain syndrome, to relieve the patient's condition. In case of chronic prostatitis, such drugs are required. With repeated cases, painkillers will quickly reduce discomfort in the scrotum, perineum and testicles. Urinating becomes painless.
To eliminate the pain syndrome, usually, rectal suppositories are prescribed. This is explained by the fact that the candle has a quick, direct effect on the prostate gland. When injected into the rectum, the suppository dissolves immediately, the active ingredient is quickly absorbed into the blood in general. So the pain was significantly reduced just 5-10 minutes after the injection. It is very important to take the medicine correctly. The man should lie on his stomach and not get up for at least half an hour after the introduction. During this time, the drug will completely dissolve, and begin to exert its pain-relieving effect.
Anesthesia is widely used and highly effective in the treatment of prostatitis.
As for pain relievers, they are not favored by specialists. But, but men prefer them. They do not differ in speed. In order for such a drug to start working, it is necessary to complete the full course of treatment. Pain relief after only 30-40 minutes after applying. Under the influence of such drugs, smooth muscle relaxation is observed, which eliminates spasms and pain.
Herbal treatments for prostatitis
Modern methods of treating prostatitis in men include the use of male drugs. The composition of such preparations includes only herbal ingredients. There are no side effects from these drugs. But among the contraindications, it is worth noting only individual intolerance of the individual components of the remedy. Prostate treatment with herbal drugs lasts a little longer than synthetic drugs. After all, it is required to be the substance that accumulates in the body. But, a positive outcome is guaranteed.
Herbal substances are used in the treatment of both acute and chronic prostatitis. Because the symptoms of chronic prostatitis occur intermittently, regular use of antibiotics can have adverse effects on the entire body. So natural remedies for chronic prostatitis are the best option.
Other medicines to treat the prostate
In the complex treatment of the prostate gland, other drugs are also used. If prostatitis is of a viral nature, your doctor will prescribe antiviral medication. Often, these drugs complement complex treatment. Antiviral drugs adversely affect any virus, have an immunomodulatory effect.
A new drug for the treatment of prostatitis is a drug belonging to the class of bioregulatory peptides. The action of the drug is aimed at stimulating the independent regeneration of the prostate gland. In addition, under the influence of the drug, the body itself begins to regulate metabolic processes in the tissues and cells of the prostate gland. So, the rapid elimination of inflammation, pain relief is not observed.
Anti-androgen drugs help to eliminate the inflammatory process in case of bacterial prostatitis. You can reduce the pressure in the urethra and get rid of the spasms of the prostate and bladder by using alpha blockers. Such drugs increase urination, normalize blood flow in the pelvic organs. This is very important if, as a result of prostatitis, a man begins to complain of potency disorders.
