Prostate problems in men begin at age 40. Active inflammation in the prostate is caused by infectious viruses and bacteria, reduced immunity, diseases of the reproductive system, hormonal imbalance and sexually transmitted diseases.The treatment process of prostatitis does not cause any particular problems, because modern medicine offers a large number of special drugs and medications that will help to cope with prostatitis quickly and painlessly.Usually, in case of prostate problems, men are prescribed antibiotic treatment.Only a professional urologist can choose the right treatment and prescribe treatment.
Which antibiotic to choose for prostatitis?
Prostatitis is a pathology divided into two types: non-bacterial and bacterial (infectious).For nonbacterial prostatitis, antibacterial drugs are not used.This drug is used for chronic and acute types of prostatitis.
In order for a man to understand which antibiotics to take and whether it is necessary to take antibiotics for prostatitis, he first needs to find out the cause of the disease (pathogen).To do this, you should undergo a step-by-step examination, including a urine test to identify pathogens (E. coli, chlamydia, mycoplasma, staphylococcus and others).
It should be noted that you should not choose antibiotics to treat prostatitis yourself.You should know that when choosing antibiotics for treatment, it is necessary to take into account the sensitivity of each bacteria to the drug.
The choice of antibiotic, dosage and duration of treatment (course) depends on the type of pathology (acute or chronic).In most cases, doctors prescribe broad-spectrum antibiotics for men, combined with: vitamin therapy, drugs that normalize blood circulation and immunostimulants, antidepressants, massage, etc.(it all depends on the type of pathogen, as well as its sensitivity to the drug (antibiotic)).
Antibiotic groups in the treatment of prostatitis
Medicines used to treat prostatitis are available in the form of suppositories, tablets, injections or microenemas.Usually, antibiotics (broad spectrum) are prescribed to men if the cause (pathogen) of the disease has not been determined.
Antibiotics for prostatitis are divided into three types:
- Penicillin;
- Fluoroquinolone;
- Tetracycline.
Often during the treatment of prostatitis, suppositories are prescribed for rectal use.Suppositories help reduce pain symptoms, have anti-inflammatory effects as well as antibacterial effects.Suppositories, like injections, act immediately on the body, so treating prostatitis with suppositories is an effective technique.
Fastest-acting antibiotics (solutions) for injection.The injection solution increases the defenses of the immune system and the entire vascular system of the body.In some cases, doctors resort to instillation.Instillation is a process in which a solution (antibiotic) is injected directly into the urethral canal.The procedure is performed on an empty bladder.
In addition, there are methods of using bacteria based on medicinal herbs (infusions, decoctions).This procedure is used in conjunction with drug treatment.The microenema procedure is performed before bedtime.
Treat prostatitis with antibiotics
The course of treatment for prostatitis must be comprehensive and include different groups of drugs:
- analgesic;
- Hormonal drugs;
- antibiotic;
- alpha blockers;
- anti-inflammatory and antiviral medications.
Eliminates bacterial prostatitis
Bacterial prostatitis is treated only with antibiotics.Antibiotics in tablet form are used for chronic and acute prostatitis, and treatment lasts about 30 days.If prostatitis worsens or complications develop, treatment will continue with antibiotic injections into the urethral canal.
Additionally, in combination with antibiotic treatment, painkillers may be prescribed.But you should be careful when taking them together, because overdose of the medicine (pain reliever) can cause negative side effects.
Chronic prostatitis
For chronic (non-bacterial) prostatitis, alpha-blockers are prescribed.Antibiotics of this type relax the neck and bladder muscles, reducing pain (when urinating).It is worth noting that drugs in this group all have side effects, including headaches and low blood pressure.
For chronic prostatitis (various forms), drugs containing hormones are prescribed.The fact is that an excess of the male hormone testosterone in men's blood activates the proliferation of the prostate gland.During treatment, hormone levels gradually decrease and return to normal, and at the same time, inflammatory processes disappear.In addition to complementary treatments, herbal therapies are used to help reduce swelling and inflammation.
Viral prostatitis
For viral prostatitis, drugs with a spectrum of antiviral effects are prescribed.
The course of treatment is supplemented with nonsteroidal antiviral drugs.This group helps eliminate pain, swelling and anti-inflammatory processes.In addition to the drugs listed, the drug is also used to improve blood flow to the prostate.
To strengthen the immune system while taking antibiotics for prostatitis, immunomodulators are used.
Antibiotic treatment regimen for prostatitis
When treating prostatitis with antibiotics, treatment can last from 6 to 12 weeks.Drugs from different groups can be used alternately or in combination.
In severe cases, prostatitis can cause side effects: fever, headache, prostate pain.In such cases, the doctor prescribes antibiotics by injection (intravenously).The duration of this course is 4 weeks - 6, 7 weeks.
Your doctor may prescribe multiple medications at the same time.
After a course of antibiotics, the man's condition should improve;If the condition does not improve, it is likely that the disease is caused by bacteria (infection).
Completing the treatment yourself is absolutely prohibited!Even as the man's condition improved.Prostatitis is a very dangerous and recurring disease.
Effective treatment for prostatitis
Only a professional urologist can choose effective and correct medications and prescribe treatment.
To avoid further complications and disease development, strictly follow the antibiotic regimen prescribed by your doctor.Do not self-medicate, do not use drugs from little-known pharmaceutical companies.Drugs belonging to the “antibiotic” group have side effects that can be harmful to people's health, including sexual functioning and normal health in general.
