The inflammatory process of the prostate causes significant discomfort in men's lives and often provokes the development of more complex diseases, including impotence, infertility, adenoma or prostate cancer.Prostatitis is diagnosed more often in men in adulthood, but also often in young men under 40 years of age. The treatment of this disease includes a series of measures represented by drug therapy, physiotherapy, folk remedies and massage methods.But despite the variety, it is still based on oral medications.
Both folk remedies and medicines are used to treat prostatitis.
Why pills
Pills are the most popular drugs for prostatitis, which men should take immediately after the diagnosis is confirmed.This dosage form has many advantages over other drugs, but it also has significant disadvantages.
The main reasons for prescribing tablets are:
- The need to eliminate the infection, which is often found not only in the prostate gland, but also in other organs of the urinary and reproductive system, intestines and lumbar lymph nodes.In most cases, it can only be eradicated with systematically effective means.
- The cause of prostatitis is often the deterioration of the functions of the circulatory system.At the same time, the normalization of work is possible only if the blood flow is normalized in the whole body, and not only in the prostate and pelvis.This can only be achieved by taking it orally.
- Strengthening the immune system is an important element in the treatment of prostatitis.This can be done in two ways - by revising the diet or by taking immunomodulators and immunoglobulins.In this case, pills are the most convenient and easiest solution for men.Treatment of prostatitis cannot 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 in the whole body.The lion's share of the "responsibility" for these processes lies with vitamins, minerals and trace elements, which are more fully absorbed through the digestive system.Therefore, vitamin-mineral complexes are prescribed for prostatitis, as well as drugs for the restoration of metabolism, mainly in the form of tablets or solutions for oral administration.
Of course, this is not a complete list of reasons why it is more convenient and healthier for men to take pills.These include the absence of pricks on the skin that inevitably remain after injections, the absence of psychological discomfort (men can also be afraid of injections) and much more.
What pills should you take - classification of drugs for prostatitis
In the case of 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 includes:
- antibiotics;
- anticonvulsants;
- muscle relaxants;
- anti-inflammatory drugs;
- hormones;
- immunomodulators and vitamins;
- complex drugs for prostatitis.
You should take all the tablets in the list according to the instructions for use and based on the recommendations given by the doctor.It is important to note that certain medications are better to "not finish" than to take them for too long or in high doses.Hormonal drugs are considered particularly dangerous from this point of view!
Long-term use of drugs for men with a positive effect on prostatitis is recommended only in the case of complex tablets or capsules, the composition of which is based primarily on plant ingredients.It is recommended to drink them for at least 3 months, and during the treatment it is better to observe the exact dosage, because organic substances affect different processes of the body no less than synthetic drugs.
Herbal preparations must be taken for several months to achieve the desired effect.
Treatment without drugs - healing teas for prostatitis
One of the ways to get rid of the manifestations of prostatitis, which has recently become popular among men, is herbal teas.The therapeutic effect of many of them has been scientifically proven, and the medicinal herbs that are part of the decoctions and aqueous decoctions are included in complex preparations.
Herbs, like synthetic compounds used to treat prostatitis in men, have the following effects:
- Uroseptic - cleans the prostate tissue of bacteria, viruses and toxins synthesized by them.Tansy, centaury and bearberry have these properties.
- Anti-inflammatory - suppresses inflammation at the site, i.e. in the prostate gland.Calendula, yarrow, bearberry, St. John's wort and sage have this property.
- Improving blood circulation and eliminating prostate congestion.Chestnut and sweet clover help normalize the condition of the circulatory system and restore the functioning of the vascular system.
- Ginger, ginseng, mint and lemon have an immunomodulating and general strengthening effect on the male body.
In other words, you can drink herbal teas and decoctions instead of pills, but this is still not recommended.The best solution is to supplement the pills and other anti-prostatitis drugs prescribed by the doctor.But even this should be done only after a specialist has approved the use of a particular plant.
It's important to remember!Decoctions and teas from herbs have quite extensive contraindications and can affect the functioning of all internal organs when taken orally.In this regard, the dosage must be strictly followed when treating prostatitis in men.
To achieve the maximum effect, urologists recommend using folk remedies for no more than two weeks.After a week's break, the product can be replaced.Concurrent consumption of several concoctions or teas can have negative consequences.It is especially useful to use folk remedies during remission to reduce the likelihood of aggravation of the disease, and if it does occur, use drugs from the first aid kit.
