Prostate injections are the most effective form of dosing. Injections act on the lesion much faster than tablets or suppositories. But treatment with prostate injections is prescribed for specific indications, and also has a number of contraindications.
Advantages and disadvantages of prostate injections
To understand what is best for suppositories, pills or injections for prostatitis, you should consider the benefits of injections:
- Performance.Active substances enter the bloodstream immediately, reaching the center of inflammation within 5-10 minutes. It takes longer to dispense tablets and suppositories. The tablets are especially long-lasting, as they must pass through the digestive tract and be absorbed into the bloodstream.
- Ability to use the correct dose.During injection treatment, the entire required concentration of the drug enters the bloodstream. When using tablets, a certain part of the active substances is destroyed under the influence of stomach enzymes.
- Ease of execution.Injections can be made regardless of the patient's condition. For example, when a patient is tortured by vomiting, and he can not take pills.
Disadvantages of injecting:
- The need for the help of a healthcare professional.
- Problem, pain of the procedure.
- Risk of infection at the puncture site.
- The possibility of developing negative consequences with an incorrect injection, for example, redness, inflammatory or purulent process.
When injections are prescribed for prostate inflammation
Prostate injections in men are mainly used in the acute form of pathology. It is accompanied by severe symptoms, for example, severe pain, difficulty urinating. Such manifestations significantly reduce the quality of life of the patient, and therefore require immediate elimination.
In addition to the acute type of prostate inflammation, injections can be prescribed for:
- chronic form of prostatitis, if of bacterial origin;
- stagnation of blood in the small pelvis;
- serious erectile dysfunction; infertility
- ;
- circulatory disorders in the groin area;
- infectious lesions of organs adjacent to the prostate gland.
Injections are often given after surgery on the urinary system.
What injections are given for the prostate
Prostate injections are described differently, depending on the cause of the disease, the existing symptoms. The attending physician should select groups of medications; self-medication by injection is strictly prohibited in order to avoid exacerbation of the disease.
Antibiotics
Antibacterial injections are designed to fight pathogenic microorganisms that provoke the development of an inflammatory process in the prostate. By destroying bacteria, medicines help restore the affected tissues of the prostate gland.
It is important to understand that antibiotic treatment should be performed strictly during the courses. Even if the patient feels better, all symptoms are gone, the number of injections prescribed still needs to be met. Otherwise, therapy will be considered incomplete, the pathology will return, and it is more likely to return to a chronic form.
Painkillers
Injections for prostate pain in men are usually prescribed for the acute form of the pathology, as it is what is accompanied by strong painful sensations. Such injections are directed if the syndrome is so severe that the patient cannot go completely to the toilet and even sit or move.
Such drugs eliminate pain syndrome, normalize the condition of prostate tissue, relieve spasms. But their long-term use is not allowed. The average period of therapy is 1-3 days.
Immunomodulators
Immunomodulators are designed to support the functioning of the immune system. They are most often used in the chronic form of prostatitis, if the body is no longer able to independently fight pathogenic microorganisms.
It is worth noting that doctors are still debating how justified the use of immunomodulators is. It is believed that the effect of such drugs on the body is unpredictable. Ideally, the attending physician should perform immunological studies before prescribing them.
Anti-inflammatory
Prostatitis is an inflammatory process in the prostate gland. It's in him that the main effect should be exercised during treatment. Therefore, anti-inflammatory drugs are the main components of therapy.
Doctors prefer such injections for chronic and acute prostatitis as Diclofenac and Ibuprofen. They are able to quickly relieve inflammation as well as eliminate pain and fever.
Decomposers
When inflamed, the prostate tissue swells. Decongestant injections can normalize their condition. Their active ingredient is testicular hyaluronidase, obtained from the testes of cattle.
Drugs soften connective tissue, improve blood flow, relieve swelling of the prostate gland and prevent indentation. The therapeutic course is 10 days, one injection per day.
Hot injections
Using hot injections to treat prostatitis in men involves inserting a special medicine into the bloodstream. This name was given to the injections because behind them the patient feels a strong acceleration of heat throughout the body. The substance helps relieve inflammation, eliminate the symptoms of the disease.
It should be noted that skin contact may cause tissue damage. The dosage is determined by the attending physician. If not noticed, nausea, a sharp drop in blood pressure and loss of consciousness may occur.
Aloe injections
Among the cheap and effective injections for prostate, aloe injections are noted, which help to achieve the following result:
- improve blood circulation in the pelvis, reduce blood viscosity, which eliminates congestion, normalizes the nutrition of prostate tissue;
- to destroy pathogenic microorganisms that cause inflammation in the prostate. Therefore, injections are often done in conjunction with antibiotic therapy to increase the effect of antibiotics;
- get rid of inflammation in the affected organ;
- strengthen the immune system, which accelerates the healing of men.
Aloe injections are prescribed at a dose of 1 ml per day. The duration of treatment is one month. If necessary, a second course is conducted after a 2-week break. In chronic inflammation of the prostate, it is recommended that you undergo a 3-4 month therapy.
Contraindications to scheduling injections
Even the best injections for prostatitis have a certain list of contraindications, depending on the active ingredient. Among the general prohibitions for all injections, muscle tissue atrophy, skin damage, and subcutaneous fat at the puncture site may be noted. If you do not consider the contraindications, there is a risk of developing various diseases or their worsening, as well as an allergic reaction.
Thus, injections in the treatment of prostatitis are made in acute form, when it is necessary to quickly eliminate the expressed symptoms of the disease. In other cases, rectal suppositories and tablets are used.
