Before receiving treatment for prostatitis, doctors should first determine which type of prostatitis they are suffering from, and antibiotics are the main drugs used to treat prostatitis. Be cautious when using antibiotics, otherwise once bacteria develop resistance, antibiotics will lose their effectiveness. If one blindly takes medication, it may backfire.
Common drugs for treating prostatitis mainly include the following:
1. Antibiotics:
Quinolones have a strong ability to penetrate the prostate capsule and can achieve effective antibacterial and bactericidal concentrations in the prostate. They are not only effective against Gram negative and positive bacteria, but also against Mycoplasma and Chlamydia.
2、 α Receptor blockers:
Commonly used α Receptor blockers include terazosin, terazosin (Gaotelin), etc. α Receptor blockers can relax the smooth muscles of the prostate and bladder, improve lower urinary tract symptoms and pain, and thus become the basic drug for treating prostatitis.
3. Non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs:
Non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be used to alleviate symptoms and inflammation in patients with perineal discomfort, dull pain, and discomfort in urination. The commonly used non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are butazone, ibuprofen, indomethacin, fenbid, celecoxib, rofecoxib, etc.
4. Allopurinol:
The level of uric acid in prostatic fluid of non bacterial prostatitis caused by prostatic urine reflux is significantly increased. The use of allopurinol can reduce uric acid levels, thereby improving prostate symptoms.
In addition, traditional Chinese medicine treatment can also be chosen, which treats prostatitis through syndrome differentiation and treatment. Prostatitis patients with dampness heat injection can take Bazheng Powder, which can clear heat and promote dampness. For patients with prostatitis of qi stagnation and blood stasis type, Shaofu Zhuyu Tang can be taken to promote qi circulation and collaterals, promote blood circulation and remove stasis. Patients with prostatitis due to spleen deficiency and excessive dampness should take Shen Ling Bai Zhu San, which can strengthen the spleen and promote dampness. Patients with prostatitis due to liver and kidney yin deficiency should choose Zhibai Dihuang Tang, which is used to clear and dissipate heat. Patients with prostatitis of kidney yang deficiency type can choose the Golden Chamber Kidney Qi Pill that warms the kidney and strengthens yang.
