The appropriateness of prescribing these drugs for the treatment of the latent form is determined by the test results. The presence of bacterial flora can be indicated by the hanging number of leukocytes and the identification of microorganisms in glandular secretions or pyospermia. Antibiotics for prostatitis are selected after examination of secretions or semen
Optional features
Various antibiotics are used to treat inflammation in men. When choosing, it is important to give preference to those that can accumulate in the tissues of the gland. This is the main selection criterion in the treatment of prostatitis. For this purpose, fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, macrolides and so on are prescribed.
In order to choose antibiotics wisely, it is important to consult a doctor. In this situation, if bacterial flora is suspected, an analysis is performed to identify the type of pathogen. At the same time, their sensitivity to existing active substances is determined. It is only on this basis that one or another drug is preferred.
It is important to note that the symptoms of chronic prostatitis are usually mild. For this reason, the patient and the doctor have the opportunity to wait for the test results and choose an antibiotic that is guaranteed to be effective. Antibiotics can only be prescribed by a doctor and after carrying out the necessary research.
Fluoroquinolones for the treatment of prostatitis
These antibiotics have many advantages:
- rapid achievement of high concentration in tissues;
- minimal number of side effects;
- efficacy of both oral and parenteral forms;
- excellent bioavailability.
An important feature is that the drugs belonging to this group have a long-lasting effect. After ingestion, the active ingredient is released within 24 hours. Because of this, the concentration of the substance is maintained until the next dose.
Synthetic broad-spectrum antibacterial agents are particularly often used for treatment. The most pronounced effect is shown in the presence of intracellular infection. In addition, this group of drugs should be prescribed for prostatitis that occurs as a complication of sexually transmitted diseases. Medicines from the fluoroquinolone group have almost no side effects and are well absorbed
All fluoroquinolones, without exception, show high efficacy in the treatment of typical infections. The only downside is neurotoxicity. Medicines are used only after excluding the presence of tuberculosis of any localization.
Prostatitis and the choice of antibiotics for its treatment
The dosage depends directly on the name of the drug and the concentration of the active ingredient. Fluoroquinolones are usually taken at 500-1000 milligrams per day.
Tetracycline drugs
Quite often, a synthetic antibacterial agent is prescribed to treat a disease, the main feature of the drug is its ability to penetrate the glandular tissue and accumulate in maximum quantities. In addition, such drugs are affordable and available in a wide variety of release forms.
Antibacterial drugs are ineffective against some enterococci. For this reason, they are prescribed only after sensitivity has been determined.
To treat the pathology, the antibiotic is prescribed in the amount of two tablets per day. The duration of therapy is determined individually.
The medicine can be prescribed after a sensitivity test.
Tetracycline antibiotics are effective against mycoplasma, chlamydia and other infections. They are easily tolerated and highly active. It is used in doses of up to two hundred milligrams per day.
In addition to well-known drugs, macrolides are also used. Use 500 to 1, 000 milligrams per day. As a general rule, the maximum dose is used within three days of starting treatment. The number of tablets is then halved.
When using macrolides, it is important to consider that these drugs have not been fully studied. At the same time, they are known to be low-toxic, quickly accumulate in the tissues of the gland, and effectively cope with many bacteria.
Medicines of other groups
To treat inflammation, you can use a combined kit that contains an antifungal drug, an antibiotic, and an antibacterial drug with antiprotozoal activity. This medicine is very important for men and has also shown great effectiveness in the treatment of prostatitis. A blister pack contains 6-15 tablets of various medicines. These are selected in daily doses and taken at the same time.
The antifungal agent is effective against most prostatitis pathogens
This preparation makes it possible to eliminate inflammation when identifying pathogens such as Trichomonas, anaerobes, Gardinella, mycoplasma, etc. But what is especially beneficial is that this antibiotic is effective in the presence of Candida fungi.
According to the requirements of the WHO, this is an ideal drug for the treatment of prostatitis. When used, the efficiency reaches 95% even in advanced prostatitis with a stable microflora. At the same time, the antibiotic is minimally toxic, easily tolerated, easy to use due to a single dose, and causes a minimal degree of resistance in microorganisms.
Indications for the use of such an antibiotic are uncomplicated prostatitis, inflammation caused by STIs, and a combination of prostatitis and urethritis. In the absence of specific symptoms, a single application is sufficient. For men with frequent relapses, a five-day course with the full dose is required.
Standards of treatment
Specialists from many countries are working to create an effective method for the treatment of recurrent prostatitis. Most people tend to believe that the duration of treatment for men should be at least two weeks. After that, the patient's condition and test results are evaluated. Therapy is usually continued thereafter. In general, the course should be at least 4-6 weeks.
To treat prostatitis, you must follow the prescribed regimen and therapy.
In the chronic form of prostatitis, antibiotics in tablets and capsules are preferred. In this case, the dose should be as high as possible. This is the only way to achieve lasting results.
The latent form of prostatitis should be considered separately. In most cases, laboratory analysis does not detect bacterial flora, but this does not guarantee its absence. This is exactly what explains the fact that when antibiotics are used in men, the pelvic pain syndrome disappears and the general condition improves.
At the same time, one should not forget that it is simply impossible to create a special treatment regimen for the disease. This is explained by the individual characteristics of patients and the variety of forms of pathology. Therefore, you should not take antibiotics on your own, which have shown excellent results in other men. Only the doctor can choose the most appropriate treatment method in the given case.
