Prostatitis is an extremely common inflammatory disease of the genital system in men. The essence of this pathology is infectious or bacterial inflammation of the prostate gland. Most often, this disease is diagnosed in men between the ages of 25 and 50. In the absence of medical help, it can cause erectile dysfunction, infertility, etc. Sh. In this article, we will discuss the best drugs for prostatitis.
General principles of prostatitis treatment
To begin with, we note that self-treatment of inflammation of the prostate gland is unacceptable. Any medication should be used only as prescribed by a doctor.
Due to the bacterial nature of the inflammatory process, antibacterial drugs are used, which are selected according to the sensitivity of the pathogen. Also, the dose and duration of antibiotics are selected individually.
In addition, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, herbal preparations that stop inflammation and improve metabolic processes in the prostate can be used.
In case of complaints of difficulty urinating, alpha-blockers are indicated, which restore urodynamics.
Various non-pharmacological methods are also of great importance. First of all, this includes prostate massage, which is performed during the chronic inflammatory process. In addition, the treatment plan is actively complemented by physiotherapeutic procedures, such as laser therapy, electrical stimulation, etc. Sh.
Effective medicines
So, what drugs have the best effect on prostate?
As for antibiotics, fluoroquinolones and macrolides are most often prescribed for prostatitis, but other groups of antibacterial agents can also be used.
If we talk about herbal preparations, then a remedy based on the extract of the fruit of the creeping palm can be used. It has anti-inflammatory, anti-androgenic, anti-exudative effect. This drug is actively prescribed not only for chronic prostatitis, but also for benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Another herbal preparation is a combination remedy that includes Canadian golden grass, licorice root, perforated St. John's wort herb, rhizomes and purple echinacea roots. This drug improves microcirculation in prostate tissues, is active against certain bacteria and reduces the severity of inflammation.
Another effective remedy for prostatitis is suppositories, the active ingredient of which is the biomass obtained from the larvae of gypsy insects. In 2020, scientists of the Kuban State Medical University conducted a study, the results of which confirm the feasibility of using this drug in patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis.
From the group of alpha-adrenergic blockers, the drug that helps to relax the smooth muscle fibers of the bladder neck and prostate, which leads to the improvement of urine flow, is most often used.
