New drugs for the treatment of BPH. Medicines for prostate adenoma in men

09.05.2017

Various means are used in the treatment of male diseases. In many cases, medications for prostate adenoma in men are quite effective and can avoid or delay it. With drug treatment, side effects often occur, which must be taken into account when choosing drugs.

When is drug treatment indicated?

Drugs for the treatment of male ailments are prescribed according to indications as primary or auxiliary treatment. The characteristics of the disease, the condition of the patient’s body and contraindications to the use of medications must be taken into account.

Drugs are prescribed as the main or auxiliary treatment

Indications for drug treatment

  • No renal complications
  • Inability to perform an operation
  • Re-development of adenoma after surgical treatment.

Drug treatment is prescribed in the initial stages of the development of the pathology, when dysfunction is minimal and there are no complications affecting the functioning of the kidneys. There are contraindications to surgical therapy - the patient’s advanced age and the state of the cardiovascular system.


Problems with urination

Contraindications

  • The volume of residual urine is more than 100 ml.
  • Acute urinary retention.
  • Hematuria.
  • Bladder stones.

Until recently, the main method of treating male ailments was surgery. With the progress of drug therapy, only 20% of men with this diagnosis undergo surgery, the rest receive effective treatment with medications.

Drugs for the treatment of adenoma


Drugs and medicines for treatment

There are the following groups of drugs for the treatment of the disease:

  • alpha-blockers;
  • antibacterial agents;
  • 5-alpha reductase inhibitors;
  • hormonal drugs;
  • herbal remedies.

When are antibiotics needed?

Antibiotic therapy is indicated in cases of bacterial infection. In this case, Gentamicin, Levorin, and drugs from the cephalosporin group are used. With the help of antibiotics it is possible to extinguish inflammation and improve urodynamics. When choosing a drug, you should take into account possible contraindications for use.


Gentamicin for injection

Alpha blockers

Drugs from this group have a relaxing effect on the muscle fibers of the prostate. Muscle spasms stop and the urination process normalizes. Relief with alpha-blockers can be achieved quickly. Many drugs from this group cause a significant decrease in blood pressure, so they are contraindicated in men with low blood pressure. Tamsulosin-based products do not have this effect. These medications for prostate adenoma act more carefully and can be prescribed to elderly patients, as well as those who have concomitant problems such as diabetes mellitus, bronchial asthma, since they have minimal side effects.

Preparations based on tamsulosin

  • Lokren.
  • Flosin.
  • Adenorm.

Flosin capsules

Alpha blockers are often prescribed in combination with Picamilon to increase the effectiveness of the drug.

Drugs from the group of adrenergic blockers quickly eliminate symptoms. But they do not affect the pathological process itself. They are most effective for mild prostate hyperplasia. Men with severe forms of urinary disorders and genitourinary infections are not prescribed alpha-blockers.

Possible side effects

  • Headache.
  • Nasal congestion.
  • Digestive disorders.

Digestive disorders

Omnic drug

One of the most commonly used drugs for the treatment of pathology from the group of alpha-blockers is Omnic. A drug is prescribed to eliminate functional disorders of the urinary organs. The effect of treatment appears after 2 weeks of use. In the initial stages of disease development in patients, the effect occurs after the first dose. The drug is highly selective, that is, it acts selectively on exactly those organs for which it is used to treat, so side effects occur infrequently. Omnic does not affect blood pressure.

Omnic is available in capsules. Take one capsule once a day after meals in the morning. This drug is contraindicated in case of severe liver failure and hypersensitivity to the components included in the composition.


Omnic is a drug from the group of alpha-blockers

5-alpha reductase inhibitors

Drugs in this group allow you to get rid of the symptoms of the development of the disease, as they prevent the progression of the disease and lead to a decrease in the size of the development of the pathology. This is achieved by reducing the level of the hormone dihydrotestosterone, which provokes prostate hyperplasia. After treatment with 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, more than half of patients do not require surgery. When treating with these drugs, remember that it takes time to achieve the effect. Relief of symptoms may occur only after 3-6 months of therapy. An important advantage of such drugs is their effectiveness for large adenomas in men.

Possible side effects are associated with inhibition of sexual functions, weakening of erection and decreased sperm production. After finishing taking the drugs, the negative effects disappear, and the man’s sexual function is completely restored.

Currently available drugs based on dutasteride or finasteride:

  • Avodart.
  • Alfinal.
  • Prosteride.
  • Finasteride TEVA.

Finasteride TEVA - the drug is indicated for prostate adenoma

The most popular drug is Finasteride TEVA, which is available in tablets. For treatment, take one tablet once a day. Contraindications are hypersensitivity to the components of the drug; it is prescribed with caution in case of liver failure, with a large amount of residual urine. If a man plans to have a child, then he is prohibited from taking Finasteride, as there is a risk of fetal pathology. This drug poses a danger to a male fetus if a pregnant woman comes into contact with crushed tablets.


Finasteride-Teva

The undoubted advantage of this drug is the ability to achieve stable, long-term remission and complete restoration of urinary function.

Hormones in the treatment of prostate adenoma

The use of hormonal drugs in the treatment of prostate adenoma is due to the fact that it is hormones that regulate the growth of the glandular tissue of the organ. In some cases, it is necessary to block testosterone synthesis in order to limit the androgenic effect on the prostate. In others, it is necessary to increase the amount of male sex hormones. Such drugs are not prescribed to all patients, as they have a considerable list of side effects.

Hormonal drugs can be used in the form of injections or suppositories; in each case, the form of the medication is selected individually.

Hormone-based drugs

  • Raveron is effective in the initial stages.

Prostatilen suppositories and injections
  • normalizes circulation in the prostate, eliminates swelling, stabilizes urination.
  • Sustanon has a prolonged action, allowing it to be administered by injection once a month.

Herbal preparations

To treat the pathology, herbal medicines are used, which are quite effective but have fewer side effects. They can improve the process of urination, increase the speed of urine flow, and eliminate inflammation. Some drugs effectively eliminate swelling, improving urinary function without reducing libido.


Herbal preparations are effective in the fight against adenoma!

Effect of herbal medicines

  • Suppression of prostate cell growth factors.
  • Blocking androgen receptors.
  • Suppression of the action of enzymes involved in hormonal metabolism.
  • Impact on tissue growth factors.

Herbal medicines today are available in convenient forms; they are often prescribed both as an independent remedy when a gentle effect is needed, and as part of complex therapy.

Herbal remedies

  • Trianol stimulates epithelial restoration, reduces inflammation, activates the excretory function of the gland, and improves urodynamics.

Tykveol capsules
  • has an anti-inflammatory effect, improves blood supply to the pelvic organs, tones the bladder muscles.
  • effective in the initial stages and with weakness of the bladder sphincter.
  • Prostabin is a protein-vitamin complex rich in zinc, which is so necessary for the normal functioning of the prostate gland. In addition to a positive effect on the functioning of the prostate, this remedy has a strengthening effect on the entire body and improves immunity.

Afala tablets

Homeopathic medicine Afala

This remedy improves the functional state of the genitourinary system, sexual functions, eliminates symptoms and dysuric phenomena.

The effectiveness of Afala has been proven for stages 1 and 2 of prostate adenoma. Suitable for preventing exacerbations in chronic processes. The drug is available in lozenges, which are taken twice a day. The dosage and duration of treatment is determined by the doctor.

With prostate adenoma, the timeliness of measures taken is of great importance in the success of treatment. When the first signs of trouble appear, you should consult a doctor. Today, men often prescribe treatment themselves, after reading articles about medications and reviews about their use. On the forums of sites dedicated to men's problems, you can find a lot of advice on treating adenoma. However, you should not self-medicate, as this can only worsen the situation. The most effective is complex treatment with several drugs. Only a specialist can choose them correctly after analyzing the data obtained during diagnostic studies.

When a patient presents with certain symptoms, the urologist must conduct a series of tests before prescribing specific medications to treat the disease. The main indications for alleviating the condition of a patient with prostate adenoma include:

  • small tumor size;
  • slight changes in urination rate;
  • the volume of residual fluid in the bladder after visiting the toilet does not deviate very much from the norm.

Drug treatment is carried out only at the initial stage of the formation of prostate adenoma. In more advanced cases, the drugs will not be effective. Surgery will be required.

Types of medicines

Currently, medications are prescribed for prostatitis and prostate adenoma that have a targeted effect on the pathology and have minimal effect on other organs. The list of the main means of combating adenoma at the initial stage includes:

  • alpha receptor blockers;
  • inhibitors of the production of an enzyme that affects the production of steroids (5-alpha reductase);
  • traditional medicines.

These drugs cope well with the problem in combination with other therapeutic methods. Their action is based on suppressing the growth of tumor cells. Medicines for the treatment of prostate adenoma produce a good effect: they normalize the functioning of the urinary tract, balance hormonal levels, accelerate metabolism and have a positive effect on blood circulation in the prostate. In addition to combating the growth of adenoma, these drugs help increase potency.

Having assessed the patient’s condition and the nature of the disease, the doctor prescribes a medicine for prostate adenoma in one of the existing forms: intravenous or intramuscular injections, tablets or coated powder (capsules), suppositories for rectal use, suspensions, decoctions.

Alpha receptor blockers

The development of prostate adenoma at the initial stage is almost imperceptible. Sometimes the tumor is discovered only after two or three years. Therefore, men should be very wary of the health of their genitourinary system and consult a doctor at the slightest symptoms. If the diagnosis is made in a timely manner, surgery can be avoided by limiting the use of medications.

Effective drugs for prostatitis are alpha-blockers:

  • Omnic

This is the most commonly prescribed treatment for prostate adenoma. The drug is safe for the body. Its action is aimed at changing the tone of the bladder muscles and normalizing the process of urine excretion. The medicine does an excellent job of getting rid of incontinence and preventing its recurrence.

  • Doxazosin

The tablets normalize blood pressure and dilate blood vessels, reducing the frequency of urges at night. This medicine has a long-lasting effect and is often used as a pain reliever for prostate adenoma.

  • Therazonin

The drug is prescribed to influence the tone of the smooth muscles of the urethra and reduce the volume of stagnant urine.

  • Alfuzonin

It specifically affects the receptors of the prostate gland and bladder, facilitates the outflow of fluid and inhibits the growth of adenoma cells.

The general health-improving effect of drugs based on alpha-blockers is manifested as follows:

  • the tone of the smooth muscles of the genitourinary organs becomes better;
  • the lumen of the urethra increases;
  • the volume of adenoma is significantly reduced;
  • a more powerful and continuous stream is observed during emptying;
  • stagnation of urine in the bladder becomes minimal.

The main symptoms of the disease begin to subside almost immediately after the doctor prescribes drugs for the treatment of prostate adenoma. But a long-term stable effect occurs only after 2-3 weeks. If relief does not occur after three months, the urologist cancels the medications in this group, since they are not suitable for this patient.

Side effects from taking alpha-blockers to reduce prostate adenoma are minimal: dizziness due to a decrease in blood pressure, a slight decrease in muscle tone and increased heart rate.

5-alpha reductase inhibitors

These prostate adenoma medications are used to stimulate testosterone production. This hormone strongly suppresses the growth of the tumor and, as a result, solves the problem with urination.

5-alpha reductase is a combination of proteins that stimulates the production of steroids and converts the main male sex hormone into dihydrotestosterone. This leads to the proliferation of prostate tissue and adenoma and even their degeneration into malignant tumors.

There are three main medications that are prescribed to relieve the symptoms of a disease such as adenoma.

Proscar

Finasteride tablets effectively reduce the concentration of dihydrotestosterone, which helps reduce prostate tumors and improve urinary flow. The effect becomes noticeable within 8 hours after taking the medicine. The course of treatment is three months. But even after the same time after its completion, the adenoma returns to its previous size.

Dutasteride

The drug in capsule form is prescribed for prostate adenoma to men of any age. It eliminates the causes of a sharp deterioration in urine output and suppresses tumor growth. The maximum effect of the medicine occurs one and a half to two weeks after the start of treatment.

Alfinal

A medicine based on finastride in the form of white tablets reduces the percentage of dihydrotestosterone in the blood a day after the first dose. The volume of the prostate gland is reduced after 3 months, a normal stream of urine is restored after another month, and the patency of the urinary canal improves significantly after 7 months, provided that the drug is taken continuously.

Medicines based on 5-alpha reductase inhibitors are so strong that they help patients even with the second stage of prostate adenoma. According to studies, most patients experience elimination of prostate tumor symptoms within 2 weeks. However, for a longer-term result, a continuous course of about six months is needed. In this case it is expected:

  • reduction of the volume of the adenoma and the prostate gland itself;
  • elimination of unpleasant symptoms when urinating;
  • reducing the risk of transformation of a benign tumor into a malignant formation.

There are a number of contraindications. Medicines with inhibitors are prohibited from being taken at the slightest suspicion of cancer. In this case, a biopsy is first done, and based on its results, the appropriate medicine is determined. You cannot take the medicine for prostate adenoma during inflammatory processes and with prostatitis. Kidney disease and the recovery period after surgery also do not allow the possibility of taking 5-alpha reductase blockers.

Side effects of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors

Such potent drugs for prostate adenoma after long-term use cannot but affect the functioning of the body as a whole. They imply a very serious intervention in a man’s hormonal balance.

First of all, the quality of life of patients suffers. The desire to have sexual intercourse decreases, erections often disappear and the duration of the act is noticeably reduced. This can lead to depression.

In addition, an effective medicine for prostate adenoma based on inhibitors provokes unpleasant allergic reactions, such as an itchy rash, urticaria or urticaria, and Quincke's edema. There is swelling and increased sensitivity of the mammary glands.

Natural remedies

It is believed that medicine for prostatitis and adenoma based on natural ingredients does not harm a man’s health. Indeed, they have minimal side effects. In addition, such drugs even improve the quality of the patient’s sex life.

The most common medications are:

  • Gentos

Homeopathic drops based on natural ingredients. They are used strictly as prescribed by a doctor for the treatment of inflammatory processes of the genitourinary system.

  • Speman

Brown tablets contain 9 active ingredients. This is an excellent drug for prostate adenoma, the only side effect of which is the likelihood of allergic reactions.

In addition to eliminating problems with urination, patients note an increase in potency, an increase in ejaculate volume and an increase in the speed of sperm movement. This is especially important for those who are planning to have children.

  • Afala

The most popular medicine for prostate adenoma in tablet form. The drug has a wide spectrum of action.

  • Excellent fight against the growth of benign tumors even at the second stage.
  • Reduces pain during inflammatory processes.
  • Expands the urethra, reduced under the influence of adenoma.
  • Eliminates excessively frequent urge to empty the bladder.

This medicine, despite its homeopathic nature, should only be taken as prescribed by a doctor. The urologist must also calculate the correct dosage and course of treatment depending on the patient's condition. Self-administration of Afala can lead to an overdose.

Natural remedies for prostate adenoma have proven themselves well. But when treating with these medications, as well as with synthetic drugs, it is necessary to see a doctor. Regularly visiting a urologist and conducting research will help avoid dangerous tumor growth. Therefore, it is possible to avoid surgical intervention.

Combination drugs

Recently, medications that combine the properties of alpha receptor blockers and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors have been gaining popularity. They are much more effective than single drugs, but the side effects are much more pronounced.

Among the most common products is Sonirid Duo. This medicine is prescribed only for significantly enlarged prostate adenoma (from 40 cubic cm). This medicine slows down the process of pathological tissue proliferation. Thus, the need for surgery is reduced.

During treatment of a man with a combination drug, women of childbearing age and pregnant women are strictly prohibited from contacting the components of the drug. When having sexual intercourse, you must use condoms.

Antibiotics

Medicines aimed at combating pathogens are often prescribed to patients suffering from prostate adenoma. Stagnation of urine leads to inflammatory processes in the genitourinary organs. Gentamicin or Levorin are most often prescribed.

Men's attentive attitude to their health is necessary in order to avoid surgery to remove prostate adenoma. Medicines based on various components are selected by the doctor individually and act specifically on the problem. The sooner the patient contacts a specialist, the more gentle treatment he will be prescribed.

When treatment for prostate adenoma in men is prescribed, medications in various forms are the main remedy if the disease is not very advanced. The pathology, unfortunately, is not completely eliminated, but stopping tumor growth, reducing it and removing all pathogenic symptoms is quite possible with drug therapy, but subject to timely initiation of treatment. Modern drugs for the treatment of prostate adenoma are quite effective and safe drugs that successfully solve the question of how.

Features of the problem

Men's health largely depends on the condition of the prostate gland (prostate), and it is not for nothing that it received the popular name “male heart”. In turn, its functioning is largely determined by the manifestation of different diseases, but giving very similar symptoms. Both pathologies cause urinary and sexual dysfunction, which often leads to misdiagnosis. For more effective treatment, it is important to accurately differentiate these diseases from each other.

Prostatitis is an inflammatory disease of the prostate gland. It is caused by pathogenic microorganisms, abnormal blood supply to the pelvic area, perineal trauma and some other factors. This inflammatory reaction manifests the following symptoms: urinary problems, pain in the lower abdomen, back and perineum, burning in the urethra, urethral discharge, problems with male potency. include antibiotics, which allows you to destroy pathogenic bacteria. Surgical treatment is performed extremely rarely.

Prostate adenoma is an independent disease and is a benign tumor formation in the gland. Unlike prostatitis, it does not have an infectious mechanism and is not caused by pathogenic microorganisms. The main cause of the disease is hormonal imbalance. Main symptoms: obstructed urine flow, urine stream without pressure, frequent urge to urinate, spontaneous leakage of urine. Treatment of prostate adenoma is most often carried out using conservative methods, but the most effective method is surgery.

Prostate treatment

Surgical treatment of prostate adenoma is often used to eliminate pathology, because an improvement in a man’s condition occurs in a short period of time. However, the patient’s health does not always allow such treatment, and the consequences of the operation can be dangerous. In this regard, with timely diagnosis of the disease, conservative treatment is used with the maximum curative effect on the prostate gland.

No medications for prostate adenoma can completely eliminate the benign tumor that has arisen, but they perform a completely feasible task. The goal of drug therapy is to eliminate the cause of the pathology, stop the tumor growth process, reduce the size of the tumor, eliminate symptoms, and reduce the risk of relapse of the disease. Medicines for the treatment of prostate adenoma are divided into several groups with targeted therapeutic effects:

  • decreased muscle tone to eliminate spasms from the ureter and facilitate the outflow of urine;
  • normalization of hormonal balance by blocking the production of hormones that promote adenoma growth;
  • improving blood supply to the prostate gland.

As basic therapy, drugs for the prostate gland of two main types are most often used: alpha blockers (Flomax, Uroxatral, Gitrin, Cardura) and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (Dutasteride, Avodart, Finasteride, Proscar). Alpha blockers are aimed at symptomatic treatment, reducing muscle tone in the area of ​​the prostate and bladder neck, and have a rapid effect. Reductase inhibitors affect the symptomatic manifestation of the disease only after a long course of treatment, but they can reduce the tumor.

In general, prostate adenoma requires a comprehensive course of treatment aimed at solving all the tasks. For ease of use, it is available in different forms: rectal suppositories, injection solutions, instillation products, microenemas, tablets (capsules). During the course of treatment, restrictive conditions are introduced: a ban on alcohol, avoidance of prolonged sitting, exclusion of spicy foods from the menu, avoidance of hypothermia, limitation of fluid intake (especially before bedtime).

Basic drugs

There are a number of multidirectional treatment agents used for prostate adenoma. All of them should be prescribed by a doctor after diagnosing and differentiating the pathology. The medicine for the treatment of adenoma, the method of administration, dose, schedule and duration of the course are established by a specialist, taking into account the individual characteristics of the male body and the presence of diseases of other internal organs.

The most commonly used drugs are:

  1. Androgens. Medicines in this group are aimed at facilitating and normalizing the process of urination. Main representatives: Testosterone propionate (administered by intramuscular injection with a course of 7-10 injections); Methyltestosterone (tablets for adenoma, course of treatment up to 30 days); Sustanon (single injection).
  2. Raveron. The composition is based on livestock prostate gland extract. Particularly effective at the initial stage of the disease. The usual course of treatment is 20-25 days. Analogue - Robaverone (porcine prostate extract).
  3. Prostatilen. The drug is intended to normalize blood and lymphatic circulation in the prostate gland, eliminate swelling, and normalize the composition of glandular juice. At the same time, the product can stabilize the functioning of the bladder and improve the properties of sperm.
  4. Prostakor. This drug is considered the main drug in the group of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors and is aimed at reducing the production of dihydrotestosterone. When it is administered, the growth of the tumor stops, the size of the tumor begins to shrink, and a number of symptoms are eliminated. The course of therapy is about 6-8 months. The greatest effect is achieved when used together with other medications for adenoma.

Herbal medicines

Numerous drugs for the treatment of prostate adenoma are developed on the basis of natural plant components and have different therapeutic effects. The most common means are:

  1. Trianol is produced from African tree bark. The drug normalizes the functioning of the urinary system, relieves inflammatory reactions, and promotes epithelial regeneration.
  2. Pumpkin contains an active substance produced from pumpkin. The drug includes a whole complex of vitamins and essential microelements. It is able to normalize blood circulation, improve the structure of the tissues of the urethra, and perform an anti-inflammatory function.
  3. Prostagute is created on the basis of substances obtained from nettle roots and palm fruits. Improves urine flow, used in the early stages of prostate adenoma.
  4. Permixon includes components of American palm. Effectively affects the production of hormones and only within the prostate.
  5. Prostabin is a preparation based on pumpkin seeds containing a large amount of vitamins and microelements. In addition to normalization, it helps strengthen the entire body and has a beneficial effect on the central nervous system.
  6. Peponen also uses ingredients of pumpkin origin - pumpkin seed oil. Used for symptomatic therapy: improving urinary outflow, eliminating pain and discomfort. In addition, it can increase male potency and improve immune defense.


Other means

Despite the differences in the development of prostatitis and prostate adenoma, a number of drugs have been developed that can have a therapeutic effect on both diseases. The following modern drugs can be distinguished.

Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate gland. This is a common condition that affects many men. At any pharmacy you can choose the necessary drug intended to treat this disease. But you should not take medications without first consulting a doctor. All medications vary in their effect on the body. Prostate adenoma and chronic prostatitis should be treated according to the regimen prescribed by the doctor.

In what cases is drug treatment prescribed?

Many medications for the treatment of prostatitis and adenoma are prescribed as primary therapy or as auxiliary components in the complex treatment of the disease. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the specific symptoms of the disease and the general state of the patient’s immune system.

Main indications for drug treatment:

  • impossibility of surgical intervention;
  • re-development of the disease;
  • absence of kidney pathology.

It is important to remember that drug therapy is possible only in the earliest stages of the disease, when kidney function has not yet been impaired.

Main groups of drugs

Symptoms of prostate adenoma should never be ignored. The sooner treatment begins, the higher the chances of a full recovery. When the first signs of pain when urinating appear, you should immediately contact a urologist, who will prescribe all the necessary examinations to determine the cause of this condition.

Advanced chronic prostatitis can turn into a cancerous tumor. In this case, drug treatment will no longer help. Surgery will be required.

All medications used by doctors to treat chronic prostatitis are divided into 3 large groups:

  • Preparations with androgens. Androgens are the active ingredient in most medications for prostatitis. Increases detrusor tone, as a result of which the process of urination is normalized.
  • Preparations with progesterones. These are antiandrogens. Used for the treatment and pain relief of prostate adenoma. Experts recommend combining the use of such drugs with special prostate massage, electro- and phonophoresis.
  • Anti-inflammatory drugs. They are produced on the basis of medicinal herbs. They do not have a lasting positive effect in the treatment of adenoma, but have an excellent antiseptic effect. These preparations usually include herbs such as sage, chamomile, dill and nettle.

All these drugs can be used in complex drug treatment of prostate adenoma and during the postoperative recovery period.

The best medicines for prostatitis and prostate adenoma

All medications must be prescribed by a doctor. Only if you follow all the specialist’s recommendations is effective treatment possible without surgery.

To speed up recovery, medication should be combined with some physiotherapeutic procedures. For this purpose, prostate massage and electrophoresis are used.

Typically, medications for the treatment of prostatitis are produced in the following forms:

  • pills;
  • rectal suppositories;
  • injections;
  • instillation.

Rectal suppositories

Suppositories for the treatment of prostatitis are considered the most effective remedy. They have a wide spectrum of action. In this case, the candles directly affect the affected area. Most commonly prescribed drugs:

  • Ichthyol candles. Helps improve microcirculation in the prostate gland. They have a good antiseptic and analgesic effect. They are often used in combination with tablets and electrophoresis. They have an unpleasant odor, but this does not have a negative effect on the skin. There are no contraindications to the use of such candles.
  • Suppositories with propolis. Used to relieve pain during urination. They have an anti-inflammatory effect. They are considered the most budget option among all known suppositories for the treatment of prostatitis. Often used for preventive purposes. Do not cause any adverse reactions.
  • "Prostatilen." Indomethacin-based suppositories. Relieves swelling and other signs of inflammation. In this case, the function of the prostate gland normalizes over time.
  • "Diclofenac". These suppositories are used in the treatment of chronic prostatitis. They have a powerful anti-inflammatory effect. However, this drug has a number of contraindications, so it is not suitable for all patients.

Before choosing suppositories for the treatment of prostatitis, you should definitely consult a doctor. Some drugs have contraindications and side effects, so they must be used with great caution.

Pills

All tablets for the treatment of prostatitis and adenoma are divided into several groups. The necessary medicine is prescribed by a urologist. Self-medication in this case can only worsen the situation. For complex therapy, the following drugs are used:

  • Anti-inflammatory drugs. These include drugs such as Vitaprost and Cernilton. Prescribed mainly for the acute form of prostate adenoma to eliminate pain when urinating. The drugs promote a speedy recovery and prevent the acute form from becoming chronic.
  • Antibiotics. They are prescribed if the adenoma was caused by an infectious process, and when taking tests, bacteria were found that provoked the development of the disease. Only a doctor can prescribe the appropriate antibiotic. The most famous drug is Amoxiclav.
  • From the group of cephalosporins, Levorin and Gentamicin are prescribed.
  • Antispasmodics. Designed to relax muscles. The drugs relieve spasms well and improve blood circulation. The most commonly prescribed drugs are No-shpu, Tamsulosin and Silodosin.
  • Alpha adrenergic blockers. They have a relaxing effect on muscle muscles. By reducing spasm, the process of urination is normalized. It must be remembered that drugs in this group significantly reduce blood pressure, so they are not suitable for all men. The most famous medications are Omnik, Focusin, Lokren and Adenorm.
  • 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. Medicines in this group prevent the development of the disease and help reduce the size of the adenoma. These drugs work by inhibiting the production of hormones that cause prostate hyperplasia. This drug treatment is quite effective and in most cases helps to avoid surgery. Symptoms of adenoma disappear after 3 months of such therapy. Medicines in this group are used in the treatment of large adenomas. The most famous drugs are Avodart, Prosteride and Finasteride TEVA.
  • Hormonal drugs. The use of certain hormonal drugs for the treatment of adenoma is necessary to regulate the processes of proliferation of the glandular epithelium of the prostate. In some cases, testosterone synthesis is also blocked, but it also happens that it is necessary to compensate for the lack of male hormones in the body. These medications are not suitable for everyone because they have many side effects. Hormones can also be prescribed in the form of rectal suppositories and injections. The dosage form is selected for each patient individually. The most commonly used drugs are Raveron, Prostatilen and Sustanon.
  • Homeopathic remedy Afala. The medicine is intended to improve the function of the genitourinary system. As a result of therapy, the symptoms of the disease and dysuric phenomena disappear. The drug is effective in the initial stages of development of prostate adenoma. Sometimes used to prevent complications. The dosage and duration of treatment should be determined only by the attending physician.

All these drugs are freely available. They can be bought at any pharmacy. But before starting treatment, you need to undergo an examination and consult with your doctor about the best combination of medications for the treatment of prostatitis or adenoma.

Injections

There are some remedies for the treatment of prostate adenoma in the form of injections. They significantly strengthen the immune system. The most famous drugs are Pyrogenal, Levamisole, Tactivin and Metiduracil. These drugs help stimulate tissue regeneration processes.

Injections are used for conservative treatment and prevention of the disease. They create additional protection for the prostate gland from pathogenic viruses. The dosage is determined only by the doctor, since unwanted side effects may occur.

Instillations

The instillation method involves introducing the drug directly into the affected area.

This must be done in order to get rid of pathogenic bacteria as much as possible, which provoke further development of infection in the prostate gland and urethra. The drugs in this case are antiseptic drugs, Cycloferon and some ozonated solutions.

The procedure is performed only by a doctor. He selects a solution and inserts a catheter directly into the urethra. Next, manipulations are performed that help keep the solution inside. Such instillations continue for up to 3 months.

Herbal remedies in the fight against prostatitis

Complex treatment of prostatitis involves the use of certain herbal remedies. Among them are “Prostamol Uno” and “Likoprofit”. They consist of natural complexes that tend to accumulate in the tissues of the prostate gland. As a result of treatment, the symptoms of inflammation are eliminated and the body's protective functions are strengthened. Cells are protected from damage by harmful free radicals, which prevents the rapid growth of pathological tissues.

Urination is normalized and pain symptoms are reduced. The components of such products enhance the flow of incoming urine, and also improve the general well-being of people with prostatitis.

Treatment of prostate adenoma and prostatitis is a rather serious task. At the first symptoms of the disease, you should immediately consult a doctor. After all, it is easier to cure a disease in the initial stages of its development than to treat chronic prostatitis with a large number of its complications.

Before choosing any drug for treatment, you should always consult your doctor. He will prescribe all the necessary examinations and help you choose the most correct treatment regimen. Only after passing all the tests and examination by a urologist can the necessary treatment regimen be prescribed. The doctor takes into account all the patient’s complaints, assesses his general condition, examines the prostate gland, and takes blood for analysis. Based on the results of the examination, complex drug therapy in combination with physiotherapy is prescribed.

There are many medications for the treatment of chronic prostatitis, but self-medication in this case is unacceptable. You cannot go to a pharmacy and choose a drug for yourself. Many medications have strict contraindications for use. Some of them can cause serious adverse reactions and worsen the situation. Therefore, it is better to entrust the choice of medication for prostatitis, prescribing dosage and determining the duration of treatment to an experienced doctor.

For prostatitis:
The most common cause of prostatitis is bacterial infection. Antibiotics for prostatitis and adenoma are the main means of destroying bacteria. To prescribe them, the urologist must make sure that he is dealing with exactly.
