Medicines for the treatment of prostatitis in men

Often, doctors in the early stage prescribe treatment for prostatitis with drugs, when an inflammatory process in the prostate gland of men is diagnosed. In fact, therapy is very laborious and time-consuming. The prescription of medications is performed exclusively by a specialist based on symptoms and diagnostic indicators.

How to understand that the prostate is inflamed?

Inflammation of the prostate develops quickly and you can understand about the disease when unpleasant symptoms appear:

pain in a man with prostatitis
  • decreased sexual desire;
  • rapid onset of ejaculation;
  • a constant feeling of fullness in the bladder;
  • and the appearance of discomfort during bowel movements, painful sensations in the perineum;
  • the beginning of a slow and uncontrolled erection;
  • discharge of urine in a fine intermittent stream;
  • constant fatigue for no reason;
  • an increase in temperature of up to 41 degrees with the addition of bacteria.

It is important to identify the form of the disease, the triggering factors before starting treatment. For example, in case of stagnation and damage by harmful bacteria, treatment is mainly with antibiotics to suppress the harmful microflora. The main thing for prostatitis is to choose the most effective drugs.

Medicines, forms of release

Drug treatment of prostatitis involves many drugs with different forms of release. But it is important to understand that one or the other form is prescribed taking into account the stage, the form, the types of development of the disease, the existing symptoms and the contraindications to the use.

Among all known groups of drugs are used:

  • solutions for configuring microclysters to suppress the inflammatory process;
  • pills, in particular antibiotics, as a form of drugs in the treatment of inflammation of the prostate;
  • rectal suppositories with direct action on the affected lesions;
  • injections in injections, as a form of fast-acting medicine to suppress the inflammatory process in prostatitis.

Many men complain of mental and nervous disorders that require recovery. It is prostatitis that appears for strong sex as a blow below the waist, while the erection deteriorates dramatically and the potency is greatly reduced. Men start to get stressed, problems arise in the personal sphere.

Tranquilizers or antihistamines will come to the rescue to relieve swelling and inflammation, although doses and courses of treatment should not be neglected to avoid side effects and a severe deterioration of the situation. In addition, many are interested in how to treat prostatitis in men with medications and what is best to take: pills or suppositories? The introduction of suppositories involves a location close to the prostate. However, suppositories are safer, do not affect the stomach, dissolve quickly in the rectum and are redirected through the bloodstream to the injury site. Effectiveness comes after 20 minutes.

If you no longer have the strength to endure the pain, you can eliminate the problem with the pills, although the funds enter the stomach and the division occurs in the liver, when many useful substances have already lost their effect. The tablets work much later, after 40-45 minutes. Therefore, it is better to choose rectal suppositories for the treatment and prevention of prostatitis, prostate adenoma.
