How do we know that the prostate is inflamed?
Inflammation of the prostate gland develops rapidly and you can find out about the disease when unpleasant symptoms appear:
- decreased sexual desire;
- rapid onset of ejaculation;
- constant feeling of fullness in the bladder;
- and the appearance of discomfort during defecation, painful sensations in the perineum;
- the onset of uncontrolled slow erections;
- urination in a thin periodic stream;
- constant fatigue for no reason;
- raising the temperature to 41 degrees with the addition of bacteria.
It is important to determine the form of the disease, provoking factors before starting treatment. For example, in the case of stagnation and damage by harmful bacteria, treatment is mainly with antibiotics to suppress the harmful microflora. The main thing for prostatitis is to choose the most effective drugs.
Drugs, release forms
Drug treatment of prostatitis involves many drugs with different forms of release. But it is important to understand that one or another form is prescribed, taking into account the stage, form, types of disease development, existing symptoms and contraindications for use.
Among all known groups of drugs are used:
- solutions for placing microclysters to suppress the inflammatory process;
- tablets, in particular antibiotics, as a form of medicine in the treatment of inflammation of the prostate gland;
- rectal suppositories with direct action on the affected lesions;
- injections in injections, as a fast-acting form of a drug to suppress the inflammatory process in prostatitis.
Many men complain of mental and nervous disorders that require recovery. It is prostatitis that comes to the stronger sex as a blow below the waist, while the erection deteriorates sharply and the potency decreases significantly. Men begin to be in a state of stress, problems appear in the personal sphere.
Tranquilizers or antihistamines will help relieve swelling and inflammation, although doses and courses of treatment should not be neglected to avoid side effects and a sharp deterioration of the situation. In addition, many are interested in how to treat prostatitis in men with drugs and what is better to take: pills or suppositories? The introduction of suppositories involves a close location with the prostate gland. However, suppositories are safer, do not affect the stomach, dissolve quickly in the rectum and are redirected through the bloodstream to the site of injury. The effectiveness comes after 20 minutes.
If you no longer have the strength to bear the pain, then you can eliminate the problem with pills, although the funds enter the stomach, and the separation occurs in the liver, when many useful substances have already lost their effect. The tablets work much later, after 40-45 minutes. Therefore, it is best to choose rectal suppositories for the treatment and prevention of prostatitis, prostate adenoma.

- Rectal suppositories in order to act directly on the inflammatory source to suppress the negative processes. These are the safest drugs that can not reduce the function of the liver and kidneys, but are excellent at dealing with harmful microbes. Suppositories are an excellent addition to antibiotics in case of weakened immunity to suppress harmful microflora, when strong antibiotics also kill the beneficial flora in the body. Suppositories are considered safer and more effective.
- Immunomodulators to increase local immunity.
- Muscle relaxants to suppress pain, normalize blood flow to the prostate gland, drain completely.

According to doctors, it is better to use a liquid form of drugs with a rapid effect on the source of pain. Suppositories can be used in the form of enemas, when swallowing the composition in the urethra quickly suppresses the pain.
Only complex treatment will become more effective and recovery will be faster. In addition, the behavior of a course of physiotherapy and the adoption of folk remedies using at home will not be superfluous. It should be understood that if you do not start treatment with drugs on time, the disease will quickly progress to a chronic stage. In the absence of an erection in the morning, clear signs of impotence, pain in the lower abdomen, you should immediately contact a urologist. Without knowledge you should not prescribe independent drug treatment of prostatitis with unknown drugs, resort to lethal doses in an attempt to recover faster. So relief will not come, but other health problems and serious complications will arise.
