Prostatitis is a disease that overtakes many men. Mostly it appears in people over fifty years of age, but young people also suffer from it.
Treatment of prostatitis is relevant at any age, you simply can’t give up on this disease, otherwise the man will face serious complications. Moreover, with a diagnosis of prostatitis, you cannot select the medicine yourself by naively listening to TV ads. In each individual case, the doctor prescribes specific drugs, taking into account the specific course of the disease in a particular patient, the stage of the disease, concomitant complications, and much more. Preparations for prostatitis are diverse, and we will dwell on some of them more specifically.
Prostatitis is most often treated with outpatient conservative therapy, of course, if the disease has not passed into an advanced stage. The first stage of treatment is the elimination of infection, the second stage is the restoration of full blood flow in the affected gland. Depending on the etiology of the disease, various drugs are used. If infectious prostatitis is diagnosed, drugs are needed either antibacterial or antiviral. In each case, the doctor evaluates the effectiveness of a particular drug, takes into account the spectrum of antimicrobial action. In the presence of a specific pathogen, antibiotics of the appropriate spectrum of exposure must be prescribed.
To successfully treat a disease such as prostatitis, medications must be taken in the right dosage. This is very important, since an insufficient dose can put the disease in a chronic, latent state, in which further treatment will be difficult. Usually, doctors tend to prescribe a dose twice as high as the minimum value that suppresses the pathogen. Such force majeure is justified in many cases.
Treatment of prostatitis has its own characteristics. The doctor must take into account the fact that very often a concomitant disease with prostatitis is renal failure. Therefore, when using such a serious disease as prostatitis in the treatment, medicines (for example, Gentamicin, Carbenicil, Cephalexin) cannot be allowed to cause another complication due to the consequences of excessive toxicity of the drug. In this case, it is worth replacing it with Doxycycline, Erythromycin, Fusidine or Rifampicin, which are completely eliminated from the body without accumulating in it.
Of great importance in the treatment of prostatitis is the duration of the course of treatment. In this case, it is important to choose a course that would not cause allergic reactions, candidiasis or dysbiosis. Due to the fact that there is such a danger, it is best to conduct antihistamine therapy in parallel, and after a course of antibiotics, recommend drugs that restore the intestinal flora to the patient.
Particular attention should be paid to antifungal therapy, if this is necessary for the patient. Most often with prostatitis, concomitant disease is candidiasis. In most cases, it is localized on the genitals. But competent specialists take into account the fact that candidiasis can be in the oral cavity, and in the gastrointestinal tract. In this case, improper therapy of prostatitis can lead to the activation of this particular type of candida. Therefore, in order for a patient with prostatitis, drugs for which, in the first place, antibiotics, not to suffer from candidiasis, it is necessary to prescribe nizoral or diflucan.
Prostatitis of viral origin most often in its etiology has a herpes virus, sometimes cytomegalovirus, papillomatous virus. In this case, Zovirax or Acyclovir are effective.
The treatment of prostatitis requires the consultation of a competent specialist. Men suffering from this disease should in no case be self-appointed, because it is very difficult to overcome prostatitis, and it is easy to become a victim of complications.
