The inflammatory process in the prostate gland brings great discomfort to men's lives, and often triggers the development of more complex diseases, including impotence, infertility, adenoma or prostate cancer. Prostatitis is more often diagnosed in men in adulthood, but it is often diagnosed in young men under the age of 40. The treatment of this disease includes a set of measures represented by drug therapy, physiotherapy, folk remedies and methods with massage. But, despite this variety, it is still based on drugs taken orally.
For the treatment of prostatitis, both drugs and folk remedies are used.
Why pills?
The pill is the most popular drug for prostatitis, which is recommended for men to drink immediately after the diagnosis is confirmed. This dosage form has several advantages over other drugs, however, with all this, it also has significant disadvantages.
The main reasons for prescribing the pill:
- The need to eliminate the infection, which is often localized not only in the prostate gland, but also in other organs of the urinary and reproductive system, intestines, and lymph nodes in the groin. In most cases, it can be eradicated only by taking funds that act systematically.
- Often the cause of prostatitis is the deterioration of the circulatory system. At the same time, normalization of work is possible only in the case of normalization of blood flow throughout the body, and not only in the prostate and small pelvis. This can be achieved only by taking the medicine inside.
- Strengthening the immune system is an important component in the treatment of prostatitis. This can be done in two ways - by reviewing the diet or taking immunomodulators and immunoglobulins. Tablets in this case are the easiest and most convenient option for men. Treatment of prostatitis will not be done without drugs, unless it is in the early stages.
- The normalization of metabolic processes in the prostate gland depends on the state of metabolism throughout the body. The biggest part of the "responsibility" for this process lies in vitamins, minerals and trace elements, which are more fully absorbed through the digestive tract. That is why vitamin-mineral complexes, as well as drugs to restore metabolism, are prescribed for prostatitis, especially in the form of tablets or oral solutions.
Of course, this is not a complete list of reasons why it is easier and more beneficial for men to take the pill. This includes the absence of punctures on the skin, which inevitably remain after the injection, the absence of psychological discomfort (men can also be afraid of injections) and much more.
What pills to take - classification of drugs for prostatitis
With prostatitis in men, drug treatment is carried out using drugs from several groups. The list of mandatory drugs that doctors advise all patients to drink without exception includes:
- antibiotics;
- antispasmodic;
- muscle relaxants;
- anti-inflammatory drugs;
- hormones;
- immunomodulators and vitamins;
- complex preparations for prostatitis.
It is necessary to drink all the tablets from the list above according to the instructions for use, and based on the recommendations given by the doctor. It is important to remember that some drugs are better to "drink less" than to take them too long or in large doses. Hormonal drugs are considered very dangerous in this regard!
Long-term use of drugs for men with a positive effect on prostatitis is indicated only for complex tablets or capsules, the composition of which is based mainly on herbal ingredients. It is recommended to drink it for at least 3 months in a row, and during treatment it is better to observe the exact dosage, because organic, no less than synthetic drugs, affects various processes in the body.
The herbal preparation must be taken for several months to get the desired effect.
Treatment without drugs - healing tea for prostatitis
One of the ways to get rid of the manifestations of prostatitis, which has recently become popular among men, is herbal tea based on medicinal plants. Therapeutic effects have mostly been scientifically proven, and herbs that are part of decoctions and water infusions are included in complex preparations.
Herbs, such as synthetic compounds used for prostatitis in men, have the following effects:
- Uroseptic - cleans the prostate tissue from bacteria, viruses and toxins synthesized by them. Such properties are possessed by tansy, centaury, bearberry.
- Anti-inflammatory - suppresses inflammation in the focus, that is, in the prostate gland. This property has calendula, yarrow, bearberry, St. wort. John and sage.
- Improves blood circulation and eliminates stagnation in the prostate. Chestnut and sweet clover help normalize the condition of the circulatory system and restore the function of blood vessels.
- Ginger, ginseng, mint and lemon have an immunomodulating and restorative effect on the male body.
In a word, herbal teas and decoctions can be drunk instead of tablets, but this is still not recommended. The best option is to supplement them with pills and other drugs for prostatitis prescribed by the doctor. But this should be done only after experts approve the use of certain plants.
Important to remember! Decoctions and teas from medicinal plants have a fairly extensive list of contraindications, and when taken orally, they can affect the functioning of all internal organs. In this regard, when treating them with prostatitis in men, the dosage must be strictly adhered to.
To achieve the maximum effect, urologists recommend using folk remedies for no more than two weeks. After a week's rest, the drug can be changed to another. Parallel consumption of several decoctions or teas can lead to negative consequences. Taking folk remedies during remission is very useful to reduce the possibility of exacerbation of the disease, and in the case when it occurs, use the help of medicines from the first aid kit.
