Antibiotics

Such drugs are needed in almost all cases of acute prostatitis, provoked by pathogenic microorganisms. When inflammation is caused by overload in the pelvic organs, antibiotics can also be used if tests reveal the activity of so-called nonspecific or opportunistic microflora.

Self-medication with antibiotics, uncontrolled intake, use of such drugs on the advice of friends or the Internet is strictly prohibited. To determine which medications are needed in a particular case, only a qualified physician can rely on test results. Some patients require a combination of several types of antibiotics. Determining the type of medicine, dosages, dosing regimens and duration of the course of treatment is exclusively in the competence of the urologist.

The following groups of antibiotics may be used to treat prostatitis:

• fluoroquinolones- destroy the DNA synthesis of cells of pathogenic microorganisms, thus suppressing their vital activity;
• tetracycline- broad-spectrum antibiotics that suppress pathogenic microflora, difficult to tolerate by patients;
• cephalosporins- damage the cell membranes of pathogenic microorganisms, interfering with their life and reproduction, these antibiotics have many side effects, adversely affect the condition of the gastrointestinal tract, so they are not described in the table. and is recommended to be administered intramuscularly;
• penicillin- block the synthesis of proteins needed by microorganisms to build cellular structures, these funds, unlike the previous ones, have almost no side effects and are taken in tablets;
• macrolides- drugs with the lowest toxicity to the human body, very well tolerated by patients, but rarely prescribed due to unproven effectiveness in the treatment of prostatitis.

The need for a course of antibiotics for certain schemes and in certain doses is due to the peculiarities of their action. Only after you have reached a certain concentration, which must be replenished at regular intervals, the substances of the drug begin to suppress the pathogenic microflora. It takes ten days to a month to completely destroy it. If the course is not completed, as some patients do, when they feel well, infectious agents can stay in the body, gain resistance to the medication, and, under certain conditions, begin to multiply again.

Alpha-adrenergic receptor blockers

This group of medicines is prescribed for severe urinary problems to relax the smooth muscles of the bladder and urethra.

Alpha-adrenergic blockers differ in their action - some act on receptors selectively, others do not.

Many alpha-blockers are hypotensive, so they are not prescribed for patients with low blood pressure. They have almost no side effects, they prevent the return of urine flow and prevent re-infection of the prostate.
