The choice of medicine depends on many factors, and in order to recover quickly and prevent the transition from acute prostatitis to a chronic form, it is necessary to choose all the therapy after a thorough examination.
Which pharmaceutical products are used in the treatment of prostatitis
Pharmaceutical products are always needed to treat acute prostatitis. Without their use, it is impossible to achieve complete cessation of inflammation and restoration of prostate function.
One has to go through the whole course of therapy to the end, the disappearance of symptoms does not mean complete cure.
Therefore, if you stop taking the medication, it will become the main reason for the transition of prostate inflammation to a recurrent or chronic phase.
Medicines are selected on the basis of data obtained during the examination and can be prescribed in complex therapy with herbal and folk remedies.
The physician should take into account the detection of certain microflora in the smear, clinical signs and complaints of the patient, the data obtained during the instrumental examination of the prostate.
Based on this, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and restorative treatments are selected.
Depending on the course of the disease, all selected drugs are prescribed in the form of injections, tablets. Sometimes instillations are used.
Injectable drugs

The most popular and most commonly used medications for prostatitis
When choosing a treatment regimen for your patient, the urologist takes into account all possible contraindications and sensitivity of the detected pathogens to drugs.
Since acute prostatitis is in most cases still a bacterial infection, treatment accordingly begins with the use of antibacterial drugs.
But this is not limited, the doctor additionally selects other drugs that help improve blood circulation, relieve cramps and help cells.
That is, all treatment consists in the use of several drugs at once with different mechanism of action.
Drugs against bacterial prostatitis
If prostatitis is found to be caused by bacteria, then antibiotics should be prescribed.
First of all, they choose drugs with a wide spectrum of action, ie those that can destroy several types of microbes at once.
- Cephalosporins are most often given by injection. The drugs are administered intramuscularly or intravenously for at least 10 days;

Treatment of acute prostatitis

- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can also be used in injections and tablets. If a man additionally has diseases of the stomach, then it is best to use drugs for injections, because this group of drugs adversely affects the mucous membranes of organs. At the moment, injections or suppositories are most often used.
Treatment of viral prostatitis
Viral prostatitis is rare. In addition to the influence of the virus on the development of the disease, a reduced role in this case is played by reduced human immunity.
Among the causes of this form of the disease are the herpes simplex virus, the flu virus, and the infection with the human papilloma virus.

Timely treatment of prostatitis with drugs and medications will completely relieve the patient of many troubles in the future.
