Types of medical assistants
Antibiotics, pain relievers, Chinese or domestic pharmaceutical products, etc.?Which one helps the most?In order for men to choose the right drugs, they should first consult a doctor.The specialist analyzes the degree of the body's sensitivity to a specific drug, determines the type and stage of the disease, and examines the body's unique characteristics.Based on all this data, the doctor prescribes the course and tells which pills a particular patient should take against prostatitis.
The drug regimen for the relief of acute and chronic prostatitis in men includes the use of the following drugs (all tablets are for treatment, not prevention!):

- Anticonvulsants.
- Anti-inflammatory drugs.
- Alpha-adrenergic blockers.
- Medicines that improve blood circulation.
Let's look at all the pills for prostatitis in a little more detail: their purpose, characteristics, etc.
Antibiotics
In case of acute and chronic forms, antibiotics must be taken.The main tasks associated with antibiotics are the destruction of pathogenic flora, the reduction of poisoning and the inflammatory process, and as a result, the acceleration of healing.In men, prostatitis cannot be treated without antibiotics, as this is the most effective treatment.
All antibiotic tablets can be classified into the following groups:
- Fluoroquinolones.Tablets needed to treat chronic prostatitis.
- Aminopenicillins.Aminopenicillins are often prescribed in mild, uncomplicated stages (with acute processes and rare exacerbations of chronic prostatitis in men).
- Cephalosporins.Tablets with a wide range of use (for the treatment of any form), but the drugs have a short-term antibacterial effect.
- Macrolides.Antibiotics with minimal toxicity are the least effective against prostatitis in men.
- Tetracyclines.It is well tolerated.Among all antibiotics, they have the highest natural activity against atypical microorganisms (chlamydia and mycoplasma).
It is impossible to talk about which of the listed agents is better than others, since men have individual sensitivity to drugs.
Anti-inflammatory
To relieve inflammation, doctors recommend taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which eliminate the unpleasant signs of pathology and reduce the swelling of the prostate in men, thereby reducing pain.During therapy, painkillers are needed, as they allow you to relieve unpleasant symptoms and move on to the next stage.If the patient is insensitive to this group of drugs, he is prescribed strong hormonal drugs.
Alpha blockers
This type of pill is prescribed as an adjuvant for the treatment of prostatitis in men (that is, it is not aimed at eliminating the problem, but eliminates the symptoms and helps the effect of other, stronger drugs).It is prescribed for men with moderate disease who experience difficulty urinating.
The list of alpha blockers is not that extensive.Each drug targets the spasm of the prostate and bladder neck, reducing pressure in the urethra and increasing the flow of urine.
The feedback from the experts is clear: treatment with alpha blockers is generally well tolerated.Minor side effects may occur if you are hypersensitive to the ingredients in the pill.
Anticonvulsants
In case of acute prostatitis, men are prescribed pills that relieve spasms.Their effectiveness is based on the fact that they relax the smooth muscles of blood vessels, increase blood microcirculation, thereby reducing inflammation and acting as pain relievers.
According to patients, antispasmodics are very effective against spasms and quickly eliminate unpleasant symptoms and relieve severe pain in the groin area.
To improve blood circulation
Stagnant formations are a common cause of pathology.They do not allow the organs to recover and interfere with the normal effect of antibiotics.That is why it is impossible to treat prostatitis if you do not take medicines that improve blood circulation in parallel with antibiotics.
