The inflammatory process of the prostate brings considerable discomfort to a man's life and often triggers the development of more complex diseases, including impotence, infertility, adenoma or prostate cancer. Prostatitis is more commonly diagnosed in adult men, but is usually diagnosed in younger men under the age of 40. The treatment of this disease includes a set of measures represented by drug therapy, physical therapy, folk therapy and massage. But despite this diversity, it is still based on oral medications.
For the treatment of prostatitis, folk remedies and medicines are used.
Why take medicine
Pills are the most popular drug for prostatitis and are recommended for men to drink immediately after diagnosis. This dosage form has many advantages over other drugs, however, despite this, it also has significant disadvantages.
Main reasons for prescribing:
- Need to eliminate infection, which is usually not limited to the prostate, but also in other organs of the urinary and reproductive system, intestinal and inguinal lymph nodes. In most cases, it can only be eradicated through funding for systemic action.
- The cause of prostatitis is usually a deterioration of the function of the circulatory system. At the same time, normalization of work is only possible with normalization of blood flow throughout the body, not just the prostate and small pelvis. This can only be achieved by taking medication inside.
- Strengthening the immune system is an important part of treating prostatitis. This can be done in two ways - by checking your diet or taking immunomodulators and immunoglobulins. In this case, a tablet is the most convenient and easiest option for men. The treatment of prostatitis is inseparable from drugs, unless it is in the early stage.
- Normalization of metabolic processes in the prostate depends on the metabolic state of the entire body. The greatest "responsibility" for these processes lies with vitamins, minerals and trace elements, which are more fully absorbed through the digestive tract. This is why vitamin-mineral complexes, as well as drugs to restore metabolism, are used to treat prostatitis, mainly in the form of tablets or oral solutions.
Of course, this is not a complete list of the reasons why it is more convenient and beneficial for men to drink pills. These include no punctures in the skin (which inevitably remain after an injection), no psychological discomfort (men may also be afraid of injections), and more.
What medicine to drink - drug classification of prostatitis
For male prostatitis, drug treatment is performed using drugs from several groups. The list of mandatory medications that doctors recommend that all patients drink without exception include:
- antibiotic;
- antispasmodics;
- muscle relaxants;
- anti-inflammatory drugs;
- hormone;
- Immunomodulators and vitamins;
- Complex prostatitis preparations.
It is necessary to drink all the tablets in the above list according to the instructions for use and on the advice of your doctor. It's important to remember that some medications are best "drinked" rather than taken for extended periods of time or in large doses. Hormonal drugs are considered particularly dangerous in this regard!
Long-term use of the drug by men with a positive effect on prostatitis is only available in combination tablets or capsules, the composition of which is mainly based on herbal ingredients. It is recommended to drink it continuously for at least 3 months, and it is better to observe the exact dosage during the treatment, because organics, no less than synthetic drugs, affect various processes of the body.
The herbal preparation must be drunk for several months to achieve the desired effect.
Drug Free Treatment - Tea for Prostatitis
One of the ways to get rid of the manifestations of prostatitis that has recently become popular among men is herbal teas based on medicinal plants. The therapeutic effects of many of these have been scientifically proven, and the herbs are contained in complex preparations as part of decoctions and water infusions.
Herbs, such as synthetic compounds for male prostatitis, have the following effects:
- Uremia - Removal of bacteria, viruses and toxins synthesized in prostate tissue. Tansy, centaur, and bearberry have these properties.
- Anti-inflammatory - Suppresses inflammation of the focal point (ie the prostate). This property has calendula, yarrow, bearberry, St. John's wort and sage.
- Improve blood circulation and eliminate prostate stagnation. Chestnut and sweet clover help to normalize the state of the circulatory system and restore blood vessel function.
- Ginger, ginseng, peppermint and lemon have immune modulating and restorative effects on the male body.
In conclusion, herbal teas and decoctions can be taken in place of pills, but are still not recommended. Your best bet is to supplement them with doctor-prescribed pills and other medications for prostatitis. But even then, it can only be done after experts have approved the use of a particular plant.
Important to remember! Decoctions and teas from medicinal plants have a fairly extensive list of contraindications, and when taken orally, they affect the function of all internal organs. In this regard, in the treatment of prostatitis in men, strict adherence to the dosage must be made.
For maximum effect, urologists recommend using folk remedies for no more than two weeks. After a week off, the remedy can be changed to another. Taking several decoctions or teas at the same time can lead to negative consequences. Taking folk remedies during remission can be especially useful to reduce the likelihood of the disease getting worse, and if it does, turn to the medicines in the first aid kit.
