Prostatitis drugs are the basic and main medicine for the treatment of any form of this pathology. The mechanism of action of these drugs allows you to eliminate any element of the developing disease, which in turn contributes to a faster recovery of a man.
The main thing to remember when choosing medications used to treat prostate adenoma or prostatitis is that these medications must be prescribed by a qualified specialist. After all, only one doctor will be able to determine the method of treatment individually for each patient, taking into account the interaction of drugs for prostate adenoma with other pharmaceutical drugs that the patient takes, also taking into account all types ofside reactions of his body.
Every man should know that not only prostate pathology can cause psychological and physical disorders - the wrong medicine will also bring many problems: sexual dysfunction, various allergic reactions or impotence. Therefore, you need to take a very responsible approach not only to the choice of drugs for the prostate, but also to the treatment of such diseases in general.
Main groups of drugs for BPH and prostate
The method of treatment of these diseases is chosen by the urologist depending on the cause of development, duration, symptoms and form of the disease (chronic or acute), as well as the general health of the patient.
If a patient develops symptoms of acute prostatitis, a short course of antibiotic therapy may be prescribed. If the disease is in the chronic stage of its development, then treatment with antibacterial drugs can last two to three months. Complete removal of prostate adenoma and prostatitis is quite difficult. The result of such treatment will depend not only on the qualifications of the participating specialist, but also on the patient himself, whose responsibility is impeccable and strict adherence to all doctor's prescriptions.
It is very important in this case to use the method of complex therapy of the disease, which includes:
- taking antibiotics;
- use of hormonal drugs;
- use of alpha-blockers;
- immunomodulatory therapy;
- taking muscle sedatives and antispasmodics;
- using physiotherapy methods;
- use of herbal preparations (herbal medicines);
- maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
One of the main tasks in the treatment of adenoma and prostatitis is to improve the normal functioning of the urinary system. The process of urine secretion from the bladder is affected by an increase in the tone of the muscle fibers of the prostate gland, as well as a significant increase in the size of this organ. The action of alpha blockers is aimed at reducing the sensitivity of sympathetic nerve endings to norepinephrine and adrenaline. In men suffering from adenoma and prostatitis, the excitability of the nerve endings is much higher than normal - and this, in turn, leads to the appearance of spasms and tension in the smooth muscles that surround this organ.
With the help of alpha-blockers, it is possible to achieve such positive results in the treatment of this disease as: reduction of spasm in the cervical part of the bladder, improvement of urine output, relaxation of the muscle fibers of the prostate gland, free movement of urine in the prostatic part of the urinary tract.
Alpha blockers are drugs for prostatitis that have a cumulative effect. Therefore, in order for the patient to feel relieved by taking these medications, they should be used for 2-4 weeks. These drugs are used in medicine not only for the treatment of prostate adenoma or prostatitis, but also for the purpose of lowering blood pressure. Strong for this reason that, as a result of taking alpha-blockers, such side effects may occur: dizziness, lethargy, increased fatigue, migraine, weakness. Due to the relaxation of the muscular fibers of the genitourinary system, a man may experience a violation such as retrograde ejaculation. This condition is caused by the reflux of seminal fluid from the vas deferens directly into the bladder.The group of alpha-blockers includes about 60-65 items from prostatitis. The specific drug in this case is chosen by the doctor depending on the physical health condition of the husband. Treatment with such drugs is always quite long, and sometimes patients have to take alpha-blockers for life.
5-alpha-reductase inhibitors - what is known about the mechanism of action of these drugs
The main effect of these drugs is on the size of the prostate gland. The effectiveness of the use of 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors affects the process of urination, the violation of which is minimized. These drugs for prostate in men have a stimulating effect on testosterone synthesis in the male body, which slows down or completely stops the growth of prostate adenoma.
It should be noted that any drug in this group not only controls the condition of benign prostatic hyperplasia, but also reduces the likelihood of surgical interventions on this organ. Sometimes 5-alpha reductase inhibitors do not help the patient, and the tumor continues to grow in size. In this case, an unavoidable option is surgical removal of the tumor using the TUR method.
Herbal preparations for the treatment of prostate adenoma
Medicines for prostatitis in this group contain only natural herbal ingredients.
The effectiveness of herbal preparations has long been proven in practice. They successfully eliminate urethral blockage, reduce the amount of urine left in the bladder and improve the quality of urination. These drugs for the treatment of prostate adenoma are recommended to be taken for quite a long time, until a noticeable clinical improvement is achieved and the symptoms of the disease are eliminated. It has been proven that such drugs for prostatitis are the safest and practically without side effects.
What methods of treating prostate diseases exist?
- Injections- with their help, the activity of the prostate gland is significantly increased.
- Rectal suppositories- they help improve metabolic processes in this organ. After using these drugs, the patient should be at rest for 30-40 minutes. Treatment of adenoma using suppositories lasts from 5 to 10-12 days. Possible manifestation of side reactions to some components of the drug in the form of redness or itching.
- Instillations- this type of therapy involves injecting a medicinal solution directly into the prostate area. The procedure is performed by a urologist who injects the drug into the urethra through the opening of the urethra. In one session, you can inject 4-5 ml of solution; before performing this procedure, the patient must necessarily empty the bladder cavity.
- Enemas- in modern pharmacies it is very difficult to find such prostate medicines that can be used for enemas. But the pharmaceutical industry produces many herbal medicinal preparations, which are worth paying attention to. This procedure is performed mainly at bedtime, so as not to cool and not stretch the prostate too much after an enema. Motherwort, chamomile, sage or calendula are perfect for treatment in this case. With the help of an enema, the patient can get rid of the pain and other symptoms of this disease at least for a short time.
Preparations for prostate in tablet form
Prostate adenoma tablets should be prescribed by the attending physician after a thorough examination of the patient to determine the stage of the disease and the most effective method of treating it. Such drugs are most often used to relieve the symptoms of this disease, and like all other drugs for prostatitis, they are divided into several groups depending on their mechanism of action.
Most often, for the symptoms of this pathology, men are prescribed the following drugs:
- Antibacterial- they are prescribed in cases where the cause of adenoma or prostatitis is an organ infection. The choice of drugs in this group is made by the doctor treating the disease.
- Anti-inflammatory- it is recommended to take these prostate medications in the acute course of the disease to eliminate pain when urinating.
- Antispasmodic- these drugs for the treatment of prostate adenoma effectively eliminate spasm and have a good relaxing effect on the muscles of the gland, which in turn activates blood circulation in this organ.
