Unfortunately, many men know what prostatitis is – inflammatory disease of the prostate often occurs after 40 years, and in some even earlier. If the process is not treated in time, it will become chronic. And this is already fraught with very unpleasant consequences, including problems with urination and even with erection. In the early stages, the patient can be helped by pills for prostatitis: correctly selected drugs will slow down the development of inflammation and restore the function of the prostate gland.
Indications prostatitis pills
Prostatitis pills are usually prescribed based on information about the pathogen, which can be obtained by taking certain types of tests. The examination and subsequent treatment are prescribed by a doctor. In rare cases, when the pathogen cannot be identified, the doctor can prescribe drugs with a broad spectrum of action, which significantly increases the chances of destroying the infection in the prostate.
Most often, tablets for prostatitis are prescribed according to the following scheme:
- Acute infectious prostatitis caused by microbes such as E. coli, enterococci, Klebsiella, Proteus or Pseudomonas is treated with antibiotics. The drugs of choice in this case may be tetracycline agents or fluoroquinolones. In severe cases, antibiotics of the cephalosporin series are added, and if concomitant sexually transmitted infections are detected, additional specific treatment is required.
- Chronic microbial prostatitis most often develops as a result of specific inflammatory processes caused by chlamydia, ureaplasma or mycoplasma. Erythromycin or doxycycline can be prescribed against such an infection. The duration of such therapy is at least 14 days.
- Latent prostatitis occurs practically without symptoms, but even in this case a 2-week course of antibiotic therapy is prescribed.
- Non-infectious prostatitis, the development of which is not related to microbial invasion, is treated with symptomatic drugs. The goal of such treatment is to restore normal urine flow, relieve spasm from the urethra and eliminate prostate edema. Additionally, analgesics are taken to relieve pain in the groin and lower back.

Release form
Treatment of prostatitis will be more effective if it is carried out in a complex, simultaneously affecting all possible links in the chain of the inflammatory process. That is why, in case of inflammation of the prostate gland, doctors do not limit themselves to prescribing any one drug, but use a combined therapeutic scheme using the main drug groups.
- Prescribing antibiotics is the main step in fighting the disease. It is better if the drug is prescribed after conducting a bacterial culture: in this case, it is possible to say exactly which drug can help. Sometimes antibiotics are combined, changed among themselves, achieving complete destruction of pathological microbial flora.
