Prostatitis

Prostatitis is a disease that, according to statistics, affects one in ten men. The pathology is diagnosed mainly in the age group of 30-50 years.

Many men find it awkward to talk to their doctor about the symptoms of prostatitis, which can lead to a chronic form of the disease, complicate treatment, and lead to problems with reproductive function. It is important to start therapy at an early stage of the pathological process.

About what medications men have prostatitis most often and are considered the most effective.

What is prostatitis

Prostatitis is a disease characterized by an inflammatory process in the prostate (testicular) gland. The gland performs a number of important functions, one of which is to produce a specific ejaculate secretion that protects and nourishes sperm. The fluid contains enzymes, proteins, fats, hormones, without which the reproductive system can not do its job normally.

Another important function of the prostate is to liquefy the sperm, which makes the sperm more mobile and achieves the goal.

If an inflammatory process begins in the prostate gland, its work is disrupted. In this case the man feels the characteristic symptoms.

Causes and signs of prostate inflammation

The main source of prostatitis development is infectious penetration and stagnation in the testicular tissues. Bacteria and microbes get into the prostate:

• Urogenital organs;
• Distant chronic foci of bloodstream infection (caries, sinusitis, sinusitis, influenza, pneumonia, tonsillitis, furunculosis);
• Nearby inflammatory organs (inflammation of the rectum) and a. Sh.

Previous factors in the development of the disease:

• Prolonged abstinence from sexual intercourse;
• Wearing very tight clothing;
• Alcoholism, smoking, drug addiction;
• Frequent cessation of sexual intercourse;
• Defective ejaculation;
• Irregular sex life;
• Hypodynamics;
• Frequent constipation;
• Immune system suppression conditions (stress, unhealthy diet, lack of sleep);
• Single or persistent hypothermia;
• Existence of chronic infections (bronchitis, tonsillitis, cholecystitis);
• Strong sexual arousal, followed by sexual intercourse;
• Delayed urological diseases (cystitis, urethritis);
• Transfer of infections of the genitals (gonorrhea, trichomoniasis).

Hyperplasia, or prostate adenoma, with benign course, can also provoke the development of the disease. In addition, perineal trauma is a prerequisite for the onset of prostatitis. It is often found in motorcyclists, cars, cyclists and so on. Sh.

It should be noted that the diagnosis of bacterial prostatitis is 8 times less common than non-infectious. The main cause of the latter is stagnation in the gland. This leads to obstruction of blood circulation in small blood vessels, swelling of prostate tissue, oxidation of free lipid radicals. All these processes create conditions for inflammation and severe pain in the perineum and genitals.

During the period of exacerbation of prostatitis in men is observed:

• Frequent urination;
• Urine may come out with blood, pus impurities; Mental disorders - irritability, lack of sleep, anxiety;
• Disorders of the urinary process - can be difficult, painful;
• Pain in the scrotum, rectum and penis;
• Erectile dysfunction.

With exacerbation, body temperature may rise slightly.

Pharmacological groups for the treatment of prostatitis

There are the following pharmacological groups of drugs for the treatment of prostatitis:

1. Antibacterial drugs for prostatitis (ciprofloxacin, azithromycin). They are prescribed to eliminate pathogenic microflora. With the help of active substances that form drugs, the pathogens provoked by the infectious process are destroyed. Antibiotics are taken during the acute phase and during the remission of the disease.
2. Alpha blockers (tamsulosin). Physicians prescribe medications for this group when it is necessary to improve urodynamics, promote urinary outflow in the patient, and reduce the likelihood of hyperplasia outcomes.
3. Antispasmodics (drotaverine hydrochloride, papaverine, metamizole sodium). For the treatment of prostatitis, such drugs are prescribed to relax the smooth muscles of the prostate during pain, to improve blood circulation.
4. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) with analgesic effects (tolperisone hydrochloride, nimesulide, meloxicam, diclofenac). For the treatment of prostatitis, such medications are prescribed for pain, cramps, increased muscle tone of the bumps, urinary problems, and inflammation.
5. Analgesics (metamizole sodium, diclofenac). Pain relief. It is prescribed in the form of tablets, rectal suppositories, injections.
6. Phytopreparations. Medicines contain only natural herbal ingredients. Prescribed with medication. Designed to relieve pain, inflammation, relieve mental stress. They are prescribed both in chronic form and during exacerbations (along with other drugs).
