Most often, this disease is diagnosed in men in the age group of 25-50 years. In the absence of medical care, it can cause erectile dysfunction, infertility and so on. In this article, we will look at the best drugs for prostatitis.
General principles for the treatment of prostatitis
To begin with, we note that it is unacceptable to self-medicate prostate inflammation. Any medication should only be used as prescribed by a physician.
With the bacterial nature of the inflammatory process, antibacterial drugs are used, selected depending on the sensitivity of the pathogen. The dosage and duration of antibiotics are also selected individually.
In addition, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, herbal preparations that stop inflammation and improve metabolic processes in the prostate can be used.
If there is a complaint of difficulty urinating, alpha-blockers that restore urodynamics are indicated.
Various non-pharmacological methods are also of great importance. First of all, this includes prostate massage, which is carried out in a chronic inflammatory process. Furthermore, the treatment plan is actively supplemented by a variety of physical therapy procedures such as laser therapy, electrical stimulation, and so on.

So which drugs have the best effect on prostatitis?
Regarding antibiotics, fluoroquinolones and macrolides are most often prescribed for prostate inflammation, but other groups of antibacterial agents may also be used.
If we are talking about herbal preparations, a remedy based on an extract of the fruits of a creeping palm can be used. It has anti-inflammatory, antiandrogenic, anti-exudative action. This drug is actively prescribed not only for chronic prostatitis, but also for benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Another herbal preparation is a combination remedy, which includes Canadian goldenrod herb, licorice roots, perforated St. John's wort, rhizomes with purple echinacea roots. This drug improves microcirculation in prostate tissues, is active against certain bacteria and reduces the severity of inflammation.
Another effective remedy for prostatitis are suppositories, the active ingredient of which is the biomass obtained from insect larvae of the gypsy moth species. In 2020, scientists from Kuban State Medical University carried out a study whose results prove the feasibility of using this drug in patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis.
Of the group of alpha-adrenergic blockers, a drug that helps to relax smooth muscle fibers in the neck of the bladder and prostate is most commonly used, which leads to an improvement in the flow of urine.
