Symptoms in the acute form are manifested by fever, chills, fever, cramps when urinating, pain in the lower abdomen, lower back and scrotum. The chronic form of the disease, as a rule, progresses without obvious symptoms. Treatment for acute prostatitis involves the use of medication. In rare cases, surgery is required. Chronic prostatitis can be effectively treated with both medication and folk remedies.
Treatment of acute prostatitis with drugs
Acute prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate caused by an infection. The disease is characterized by the appearance of swelling of the prostate and the formation of a purulent outbreak in its tissues.
The following groups of drugs are used for treatment:
- Antibiotics.Medicines are the main weapon in the fight against prostatitis. To choose the right medicine, you need to know which microorganism has caused prostatitis. It is necessary to make a bacterial culture of prostate juice. The duration of treatment is about a month or more. The main categories of antibiotics for the treatment of the prostate are: beta-lactams, fluoroquinolones, macrolides.

When choosing a drug, do not succumb to the influence of aggressive advertising that requires the treatment of prostatitis with expensive imported drugs.
