It depends on the variety of pathology and intensity of soreness. It is not recommended to select anesthetics independently. All drugs have a number of side effects and contraindications. Many patients do not take these factors into account. Improper choice of analgesic can affect the course of the disease.
General characteristics of the pathology of
Prostatitis in recent years is found in men of different age groups. The disease has many causes. Prostatitis affects the soft tissues of the prostate gland.
At the first stages of the disease there is a gradual swelling of the organ. In severe lesions, the prostate changes its shape. Its diameter significantly increases.
There are several forms of the disease. Bacterial and abacterial prostatitis is considered. Also, the disease can occur in a chronic or acute form. Often there is a chronic abacterial prostatitis. It causes a prolonged stay in a sitting position, improper diet, bad habits and accompanying pathologies. With a sedentary lifestyle, there is a decrease in metabolic processes in the tissues of the pelvic organs. The cells cease to divide. Old tissues are dying. The accumulation of dead cells causes inflammation of the prostate gland. Gradually the ailment develops and the patient has anxious symptoms.
The main symptom of prostatitis is the appearance of problems with urination. The organ is located under the lower part of the bladder. With an increase in the prostate, there is pressure on the wall of the bladder. The development of the problem leads to the formation of a pocket in the bladder. It accumulates urinary fluid. It causes a man's desire to emptying the bladder. During urination, some of the liquid is stored in the pocket. Because of this, the patient is forced to frequently visit the toilet.
Pathology is amplified at night. When the horizontal position is taken, the excess urine falls on the side wall of the bladder. The man stands up for the toilet. The liquid moves into the pocket. When urinating, there is an insignificant elimination of the liquid. When taking a lying position, the desire arises again. Frequent nocturnal awakenings are accompanied by a disturbance of the psychoemotional state.
Another unpleasant symptom of prostatitis is pain. It appears in the lower section of the lumbosacral section. For this reason, many patients confuse prostatitis with radiculitis. A distinctive feature of the disease is the intensification of pain in the emptying of the intestine. This is due to the peculiarities of the location of the organ. The prostate gland is closely adjacent to the posterior wall of the large intestine. When emptying, there is pressure on the organ. The pain intensifies.
Other factors
Also, soreness also occurs during sexual intercourse. Ejaculation is accompanied by the excretion of the base of seminal fluid from the prostate gland. Spasmodic organ and causes unpleasant sensations.
It is for these signs that the patient may suspect the presence of prostatitis. To confirm the diagnosis it is necessary to visit a specialist. Only after passing the examination and putting the tests put a definite diagnosis.
The choice of analgesic drugs
In the first days of therapy, it is necessary to take painkillers. To eliminate soreness, several pharmacological groups are used. Anesthetics are used from the following groups:
- analgesics;
- non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs;
- vegetable anesthetics.
The analgesic group includes a variety of drugs. But doctors do not recommend taking such drugs for more than five days. Further treatment will not bring relief to the man. In this case, there will be additional health problems. A frequent adverse reaction to the use of analgin is the inflammation of the walls of the gastrointestinal tract. The patient has heartburn, nausea and pain in the epigastric region.
Common anesthetics are drugs related to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Such medicinal substances have antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect. Due to a wide range of actions, doctors avoid the additional prescription of antibiotics. This reduces the risk of developing additional complications. Also, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory substances reduce edema of the prostate tissue and reduce discomfort. Therapy with these drugs can last up to two weeks.
With prostatitis, anesthetics are also used. Painkillers from this group are able to immediately eliminate discomfort. This effect is achieved by stopping the work of nerve endings. The roots stop transmitting the signal to the centers of the brain responsible for the appearance of pain. The disadvantage of these pain relievers is the short duration of the action. Also, anesthetics should not be used frequently. They are appointed for 5-7 days. After the expiry of this period, the treatment is terminated. With the preservation of unpleasant sensations, the doctor selects other painkillers.
Also, painkillers differ in the way they enter the body. To eliminate soreness, oral and rectal medications are used. With severe pain, intramuscular injections are prescribed.

With prostatitis, many doctors recommend taking drotaverine. This substance has an antispasmodic effect. Drotaverin is known to many people under the name of no-shpa. It is an imported analogue of drotaverine. The drug reduces the spasm of the walls of the organ. It also helps to reduce swelling of the tissues. But no-shp can not be used by all patients. The agent has a number of contraindications and side effects.
Prostatitis responds positively to the use of diclofenac. It refers to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Anesthetic can reduce the intensity of discomfort. Also, the substance fights inflammatory processes in the prostate gland. Diclofenac is not prescribed together with antibiotics. He is able to independently eliminate the ailment. But the oral form of the tool also has many negative sides. Diclofenac has a high absorption in the liver. This leads to a decrease in the work of the organ. For this reason, it is recommended to use the substance in other forms of release.
Many doctors prescribe such an anesthetic as ketoprofen. This tool has an effect at low and medium intensity of pain syndrome. There is also a highly dosed form of tablets. It is used for acute pain. Ketoprofen significantly reduces pain. Also, the drug reduces swelling of the tissues and removes excess fluid from the body. This property allows you to gradually eliminate inflammation.

Also, the rectal form of the medication helps to avoid detrimental effects on other organs. The remedy comes only to closely located organs. The positive side is the use. Candles are put into the bowel once a day. More often, more frequent use is prescribed.
