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:
- 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.
Prescribed drugs
It is important to target drug treatment to suppress the source of the inflammatory focus.
The drugs are prescribed exclusively by a specialist, taking into account the characteristics of the course of the inflammatory process, the type of disease, the degree and stage of development of prostatitis:
- Antibiotics are prescribed when pathogenic bacteria are detected, an acute course of the disease with a course of therapy from 6 weeks to 2 months.
- Macrolides in the chronic course of the disease.
- Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs with direct action at the source of inflammation.
- Decongestants, painkillers for excessive swelling of the prostate, painful urination.
- Hormonal agents with decreased erectile function to restore and normalize the endocrine system.
- Adrenergic blockers for urination problems to normalize urine flow, relieve inflammation and pain when urinating.
- Rectal suppositories with the objective of acting directly on the inflammatory source to suppress negative processes. These are the safest drugs, which cannot reduce liver and kidney function, but they do an excellent job of treating harmful microbes. Suppositories are an excellent addition to antibiotics in the case of weakened immunity to suppress harmful microflora, when strong antibiotics also kill the body's beneficial flora. Suppositories are considered to be safer and more effective.
- Immunomodulators to increase local immunity.
- Muscle relaxants to suppress pain, normalize blood flow in the prostate, completely drain blood flow.
- Painkillers for cuts in urine output, severe pain with a release form in injections, tablets.
- Sedatives to restore the nervous system, relieve overexcitation, soothe. In many men, prostatitis clearly affects the psyche and does not affect the nervous system in the best way.
- Tranquilizers for pronounced mental disorders to increase potency, normalize blood circulation and urinary process.
- Decongestant antihistamines to relieve swelling of prostate tissue.
On a note! Some tranquilizers are addictive, so it is not recommended to violate the dosage and duration of administration. According to doctors, it is better to use a liquid form of medication with a quick effect on the source of the pain. Suppositories can be used in the form of enemas, when ingesting the composition through the urethra quickly suppresses pain.
Only complex treatment will become more effective and recovery will be faster. In addition, the behavior of a course in physiotherapy and taking folk remedies at home will not be superfluous. It must be understood that if you do not start drug treatment in time, the disease will quickly turn into a chronic stage. In the absence of an erection in the morning, clear signs of violation of potency, pain in the lower abdomen, you should immediately contact a urologist. Without knowledge, you should not prescribe drug treatment of prostatitis independently with unknown drugs, resort to lethal doses in an attempt to recover more quickly. Therefore, relief will not come, but other health problems and serious complications will appear.
Important! Inappropriate treatment can lead to serious consequences: adenoma, prostate cancer, the transition from the disease to the chronic form

- If non-bacterial prostatitis is detected, treatment with antibiotics may simply be ineffective. It is best to take anti-inflammatory drugs from the NSAID group.
Attention! When taking NSAID medications, it is recommended to take short courses, leaving an interval of 1 week between them
Which is better: suppositories or pain relievers?
Rectal suppositories do not interact with the digestive system, liver and kidneys, so they are considered safer and are applicable to adjust the treatment of prostatitis, relieve inflammation, pain and swelling and normalize urination.
It is advisable to use painkillers in case of severe pain, although the uncontrolled use of painkillers can cause side effects and complications.
If there is pain in the perineal region, it is more advisable to take muscle relaxants to reduce muscle tone in the groin. Non-steroids, which are mostly used in rectal suppositories, help to relieve swelling and pain. The best medicines are natural herbal products based on medicinal herbs.
