Prostatitis is a common urological disease. Because of this, in the United States, for example, the frequency of doctor visits is 1% (all doctor visits).
Prostatitis is a condition caused by an inflammatory lesion of the prostate gland. It is an exclusively male disease that can start at almost any age over 20 years.
Forms of prostatitis
There are the following main forms of the disease:
- acute prostatitis;
- chronic bacterial prostatitis;
- bacterial prostatitis;
- chronic prostatitis (chronic pelvic pain syndrome).
Most often, prostatitis is caused by bacteria or viruses. Persons who are debilitated by other diseases (including chronic diseases) are particularly susceptible to it; prostatitis can also occur as a result of increased stress, stress, hypothermia, bad habits (alcoholism), that is, all the factors that reduce the body's defenses. Therefore, prostatitis is infectious and non-infectious.
Symptoms of prostatitis
The main signs of the disease are:
- pain in the lower back and abdomen, lower back, perineum, pelvis, groin, scrotum;
- increased urination (including nocturnal urination);
- burning sensation when urinating;
- difficulty urinating, cloudy urine;
- muscle and joint pain;
- weakness, weakness, increased fatigue;
- headache;
- in acute forms of the disease - fever.
The doctor also notes the swelling and tenderness of the prostate gland.
Prostatitis not only seriously affects quality of life, but can also trigger the development of other diseases and life-threatening conditions.
Important! These symptoms are the cause of urgent medical attention. Lack of treatment for acute prostatitis can lead to the development of chronic forms of the disease as well as cystitis, pyelonephritis and even sepsis.
What medications are considered the most effective in treating prostatitis in men
The list of medicines for prostatitis includes the following groups of medicines:
- antibiotics;
- antipyretics;
- non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs;
- analgesics;
- phytopreparations.
Important! Your doctor should be responsible for prescribing medications to treat prostatitis. Therapy for prostatitis necessarily involves the use of antibacterial drugs, but due to the special structure of the capillaries in the prostate gland, no antibiotic can penetrate its tissues. Appropriate selection of the type, dose and duration of administration is necessary for prostatitis to be effective with this drug.
The most effective treatments for prostatitis include herbal medicines and vitamin and mineral complexes that increase the body's resistance:
- tablets containing extracts of herbs such as St. John's wort, Canadian goldenrod herb, licorice root, Echinacea purpurea root rhizome, with a total flavonoid content routinely expressed of 5%. The drug has a pronounced anti-inflammatory, bacteriostatic, analgesic effect, normalizes urine, increases body resistance.
- Capsules containing alcoholic extract of creeping palm, which have anti-inflammatory effect, relieve swelling, facilitate urination, have antiandrogenic properties selectively over the prostate gland, without affecting hormonal balance and without reducing potency. The medicine is available in packs of 30 and 90 capsules.
- vitamin and mineral preparation that improves the most important vitamins for men's health (D3, tocopherol, niacin) and zinc, as well as the amino acid L-arginine to improve blood circulation in the genitals, eleutherosides (to increase immunity) and a complex of herbal extracts (yohimbe bark, Siberian ginseng root, damiana leaves, large - flowered mountain goat grass, muira puama, suma root, cayenne pepper).
Important! Phytopreparations are an effective complement to antibacterial therapy; consult your doctor about their use.
