Prostatitis is a disease accompanied by acute or chronic inflammation of the prostate gland. Most often, this pathology appears in men aged 25 to 50 years. In most cases, such a disease is associated with infectious flora, but there are exceptions. In this article, we will talk about the remedies for prostatitis, we will discuss cheap but effective remedies.
Before we talk about different medicines, we emphasize that any medicine can be used only with a doctor's prescription.
antibacterial agents
If the test results show that the inflammation of the prostate is caused by bacteria, the first-line drugs are antibiotics.
The choice of a specific antibacterial agent depends on the sensitivity of the pathogen. For example, macrolides and fluoroquinolones are often used in prostatitis.
In 2014, scientists published a study aimed at comparing the effectiveness of macrolides and fluoroquinolone drugs in the treatment of chronic prostatitis. As a result, it was found that the macrolide antibiotic was slightly better tolerated by patients and contributed to the long-term absence of relapses in most men.
alpha blockers
Another group of drugs commonly prescribed for the treatment of inflammatory lesions of the prostate gland are alpha-blockers.
The purpose of these drugs is to normalize urination by reducing the tone of the smooth muscle tissue of the prostate gland and bladder neck, reducing pressure in the urethra and reducing resistance to urine flow.
Thus, alpha-blockers are indicated for patients whose urination process is impaired due to prostatitis.
Drugs of this group are almost equally effective. Choosing a specific drug is the responsibility of the attending physician.
