The feasibility of prescribing these drugs for the treatment of the latent form is determined by the results of tests. The presence of bacterial flora can be indicated by the number of suspended leukocytes and the identification of microorganisms in glandular secretions or in pus. The choice of antibiotics to treat prostatitis is made after testing the secretions or semen
Selection characteristics
Many antibiotics are used to treat inflammation in men. When choosing, it is important to give preference to those that are able to accumulate in the tissues of the gland. This is the main selection criterion for the treatment of prostatitis. For this purpose, fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, macrolides, etc. v. prescribed.
To choose antibiotics wisely, it is important to consult your doctor. In this situation, if bacterial flora is suspected, analysis will be performed to determine the type of pathogen. At the same time, its sensitivity to existing active substances is determined. Only on this basis is preference given to one drug or another.
It is important to note that symptoms of chronic prostatitis are usually mild. For this reason, patients and doctors have the opportunity to wait for test results and choose an antibiotic with a guaranteed effect. Antibiotics should only be prescribed by a doctor and after conducting the necessary studies.
Fluoroquinolones for prostatitis
These antibiotics have many advantages:
- achieves high tissue concentrations quickly;
- minimal number of side effects;
- effectiveness of both oral and injectable forms;
- Excellent bioavailability.
An important feature is that drugs of this group have a long-lasting effect. After oral administration, the active substance is released within 24 hours. For this reason, the concentration of the substance is maintained until the next dose.
Special synthetic broad-spectrum antibacterial drugs are often used for treatment. They show the most pronounced effects when there is intracellular infection. In addition, this particular group of drugs should be prescribed for prostatitis that occurs as a complication of sexually transmitted diseases. The fluoroquinolone group of drugs has almost no side effects and is well absorbed
All fluoroquinolones, without exception, show high effectiveness in the treatment of typical infections. The only downside is neurotoxicity. The drug is used only after excluding the presence of tuberculosis in any locality.
Prostatitis and choice of antibiotics for treatment
The dosage directly depends on the name of the drug and the concentration of the active ingredient. In general, fluoroquinolones are administered at 500-1000 milligrams per day.
Tetracycline medicine
Quite often, a synthetic antibacterial agent is prescribed for the treatment of diseases, the main feature of the drug is the ability to penetrate into glandular tissue, accumulating in maximum quantities. Furthermore, these drugs are affordable and available in many release forms.
Antibacterial drugs are not effective against some enterococci. For this reason, they are prescribed only after sensitivity has been determined.
To treat pathology, antibiotics are prescribed in the amount of two tablets per day. The duration of treatment is determined individually.
Medication may be prescribed after sensitivity testing.
Tetracycline antibiotics are effective against mycoplasmas, chlamydia and other infections. They are easily tolerated and have high activity. Used in doses not exceeding two hundred milligrams per day.
Along with well-known drugs, macrolides are used. Use 500-1000 milligrams per day. As a rule, the maximum dose is used within three days after starting treatment. Then the number of tablets was reduced by half.
When using macrolides, it is important to note that these drugs have not been fully studied. At the same time, it is known that they have low toxicity, rapidly accumulate in the tissues of the gland and effectively cope with a large number of bacteria.
Drugs belonging to another group
To treat inflammation, you can use a combination kit containing an antifungal, an antibiotic, and an antibacterial drug with antiprotozoal activity. This medicine is very important for men and also shows high effectiveness in treating prostatitis. One blister contains 6 to 15 different pills. They are selected in daily doses and taken all at once.
Antifungal drugs are effective against most prostatitis pathogens
This ingredient helps eliminate inflammation while identifying pathogens such as Trichomonas, anaerobic bacteria, Gardinella, mycoplasma, etc. v. But what is especially beneficial is that this antibiotic is effective when Candida is present.
According to WHO requirements, this is the ideal drug for treating prostatitis. When used, the effectiveness reaches 95% even in severe prostatitis with stable microflora. At the same time, this antibiotic has minimal toxicity, is easy to tolerate, easy to use with just a single dose and also causes a minimal level of resistance in microorganisms.
Indications for use of this antibiotic are uncomplicated prostatitis, inflammation due to STIs, as well as the combination of prostatitis with urethritis. In the absence of obvious symptoms, just one application is enough. In men with frequent recurrences, treatment for 5 days at the full dose is required.
Treatment standards
Experts from many countries are working to create an effective method for treating recurrent prostatitis. Most tend to believe that in men, the duration of treatment should be at least two weeks. Then, the patient's condition and test results will be evaluated. As a rule, therapy continues afterwards. In general, the course should last at least 4 - 6 weeks.
To deal with prostatitis, you must comply with the prescribed treatment regimen and course.
In chronic forms of prostatitis, antibiotics in tablet and capsule form are preferred. In this case, the dosage should be as high as possible. This is the only way to achieve lasting results.
The latent form of prostatitis is considered separately. In most cases, laboratory analysis does not detect bacterial flora, but this does not guarantee its absence. This is what explains the fact that when using antibiotics in men, pelvic pain syndrome is eliminated and the general condition improves.
At the same time, it is important to remember that it is impossible to create a specific treatment regimen for this disease. This is explained by the individual characteristics of the patient and the variety of pathological forms. This is why you should not take antibiotics on your own, which have shown great results in other men. Only a doctor can choose the most appropriate treatment option for your specific case.
