The inflammatory process in the prostate gland brings great discomfort to a man's life and often leads to 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 people under the age of 40. The treatment of this disease includes a complex of measures represented by drug therapy, physiotherapy, folk remedies and massage methods.But despite such diversity, it is still based on orally administered drugs.
Both folk remedies and medicines are used to treat prostatitis.
Why tablets?
Tablets are the most popular drugs for prostatitis, which men are recommended to take immediately after the diagnosis is confirmed.This dosage form has a number of advantages compared to other drugs, however, along with all this, it also has significant disadvantages.
The main reasons why tablets are prescribed:
- 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 systems, intestines and inguinal lymph nodes.In most cases, it can be eliminated only by using systemic means.
- Often the cause of prostatitis is the deterioration of the functions of the circulatory system.At the same time, work can be normalized only if the blood circulation is normalized in the whole body, and not only in the prostate and pelvis area.This can only be achieved by taking drugs orally.
- Strengthening the immune system is an important component of prostatitis treatment.This can be done in two ways - by revising your diet or by taking immunomodulators and immunoglobulins.In this case, tablets are the most convenient and easy option for men.Treatment of prostatitis without medication is impossible if it is not at an early stage.
- The normalization of metabolic processes in the prostate gland depends on the state of metabolism in the body.The lion's share of "responsibility" for these processes falls on vitamins, minerals and trace elements, which are more fully absorbed through the digestive tract.That is why vitamin-mineral complexes are prescribed for prostatitis, as well as metabolism-restoring drugs, mainly in the form of tablets or oral solutions.
Of course, this is not a complete list of reasons why it is more convenient and healthy for men to take the pill.This includes the absence of punctures on the skin, which necessarily remain after injections, the absence of psychological discomfort (men can also be afraid of injections) and many others.
What pills to take - classification of drugs for prostatitis
Drug treatment for prostatitis in men is carried out using several groups of drugs.The list of mandatory medications that doctors recommend all patients to drink includes:
- antibiotics;
- antispasmodics;
- muscle relaxants;
- anti-inflammatory drugs;
- hormones;
- immunomodulators and vitamins;
- Complex drugs for prostatitis.
You should take all tablets from the list in accordance with the instructions for use and based on the recommendations of your doctor.It is important to remember that it is better to "finish" some medications than to take them for a long time or in large doses.In this regard, hormonal drugs are considered especially dangerous!
Long-term use of drugs for men with a positive effect on prostatitis is indicated only on complex tablets or capsules, the composition of which is mainly based on herbal components.It is recommended to drink them for at least 3 months in a row, and during treatment it is better to follow the exact dosage, because organic substances, no less than synthetic drugs, affect various processes of the body.
To get the desired effect, herbal preparations should be taken for several months.
Treatment without drugs - medicinal tea for prostatitis
Herbal tea based on medicinal plants is one of the recently popular ways to get rid of prostatitis in men.The therapeutic effect of many of them has been scientifically proven, and herbs that are part of decoctions and water infusions are included in complex preparations.
Herbs, as well as synthetic compounds used in men with prostatitis, have the following effect:
- Uroseptic - cleans the prostate tissue of bacteria, viruses and toxins synthesized by them.Tanz, Centur and Bear have these qualities.
- Anti-inflammatory - suppresses inflammation at the site, i.e. in the prostate gland.Calendula, yarus, bearberry, St. John's wort and sage have this property.
- Improving blood circulation and eliminating prostate swelling.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 immunomodulatory and general strengthening effect on the male body.
In short, you can drink herbal teas and decoctions instead of tablets, but this is still not recommended.The best option is to supplement them with tablets and other anti-prostate medications prescribed by your doctor.But this should be done only after a specialist approves the use of a particular plant.
Important to remember!Decoctions and teas of medicinal plants have a fairly extensive list of contraindications, and when taken orally, they can affect the functions of all internal organs.In this regard, in the treatment of prostatitis in men, the dosage with them should be strictly observed.
To achieve the maximum effect, urologists recommend using folk remedies for no more than two weeks.After a one-week break, the product can be changed to another one.Taking several decoctions or teas at the same time can cause negative results.It is especially useful to take folk remedies during remission to reduce the likelihood of exacerbation of the disease, and if this happens, seek the help of medicines from the first aid kit.
