The feasibility of prescribing these drugs for the treatment of a latent form is determined by the test results. The presence of bacterial flora can be indicated by the high number of leukocytes and the identification of microorganisms in the secretion of the gland or in pyospermia. The choice of antibiotics for prostatitis is made after analyzing the secretions or semen.
Choice Features
Various antibiotics are used to treat inflammation in men. When choosing, it is important to give preference to those that have the ability to accumulate in the gland tissues. This is the main selection criterion for the treatment of prostatitis. For this, fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, macrolides, etc. are prescribed.
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, its sensitivity to existing active substances is determined. Only on this basis is preference given to one or another drug.
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 has a guaranteed effect. Antibiotics should only be prescribed by a doctor and after carrying out the necessary investigations.
Fluoroquinolones for prostatitis
These antibiotics have many advantages:
- rapid achievement of high concentrations in tissues;
- minimum number of side effects;
- efficacy of oral and parenteral forms;
- excellent bioavailability.
An important feature is that drugs in this group have a long effect. After ingestion, the active ingredient is released within 24 hours. For this reason, the concentration of the substance is maintained until the next dose.
Broad-spectrum synthetic antibacterial drugs are especially used for treatment. They show the most pronounced effect in the presence of intracellular infection. Also, this particular group of drugs should be prescribed for prostatitis that arises as a complication of a sexually transmitted disease. 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 drawback is neurotoxicity. Medicines are used only after excluding the presence of tuberculosis of any localization.
Prostatitis and choice of antibiotics for its treatment.
The dosage depends directly on the name of the drug and the concentration of the active ingredient. Generally, fluoroquinolones are taken between 500 and 1, 000 milligrams per day.
Tetracycline medications
Very often, to treat a disease, a synthetic antibacterial agent is prescribed; The main feature of the drug is its ability to penetrate the gland tissue, accumulating in maximum quantities. Additionally, these medications are affordable and available in a wide selection of release forms.
Antibacterial medications are ineffective against some enterococci. For this reason, they are prescribed only after sensitivity has been determined.
To treat pathology, the antibiotic is prescribed in the amount of two tablets per day. The duration of therapy is determined individually.
The medication may be prescribed after a sensitivity test.
Tetracycline antibiotics are effective against mycoplasmas, chlamydia and other infections. They are easily tolerated and have high activity. Used in a dose of no more than two hundred milligrams per day.
Along with 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 is reduced by half.
When using macrolides, it is important to keep in mind that these drugs have not been fully studied. At the same time, they are known to be low-toxic, quickly accumulate in the gland tissues and effectively cope with a large number of bacteria.
Drugs of other groups.
To treat inflammation, a combination kit containing an antifungal drug, an antibiotic, and an antibacterial drug with antiprotozoal activity can be used. This drug is very important for men and has also shown high effectiveness in the treatment of prostatitis. A blister contains 6 to 15 tablets of different drugs. They are selected in daily doses and taken all at the same time.
The antifungal agent is effective against most prostatitis pathogens.
This composition allows you to eliminate inflammation by 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 WHO requirements, this is an ideal drug for the treatment of prostatitis. When used, effectiveness reaches 95% even in the presence of advanced prostatitis with stable microflora. At the same time, the antibiotic has minimal toxicity, is easily tolerated, is easy to use due to a single dose, and also causes a minimum 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 with urethritis. In the absence of pronounced symptoms, a single application is sufficient. In men with frequent relapses, a five-day treatment at the full dose is required.
Treatment standards
Specialists from a large number of countries are working to create an effective method of treating recurrent prostatitis. Most are inclined to believe that in men the duration of treatment should be at least two weeks. After this, the patient's condition and test results are evaluated. As a rule, therapy continues after this. In general, the course should last at least 4-6 weeks.
To cope with prostatitis, it is necessary to adhere to the prescribed regimen and course of therapy.
In the chronic form of prostatitis, preference is given to antibiotics in tablets and capsules. In this case, the dose should be as high as possible. Only in this way can long-lasting results be achieved.
The latent form of prostatitis is considered separately. In most cases, laboratory analyzes do not detect bacterial flora, but this does not guarantee its absence. This is precisely what explains the fact that when antibiotics are used in men, pelvic pain syndrome is eliminated and the general condition improves.
At the same time, it is important to remember that creating a specific treatment regimen for the disease is simply impossible. This is explained by the individual characteristics of patients and the variety of forms of pathology. That's why you shouldn't take antibiotics on your own, which have shown excellent results in other men. Only a doctor can choose the most appropriate treatment option in your particular case.
