General principles for the treatment of prostatitis
To begin with, we note that it is unacceptable to self-medicate prostatitis. Any medicine should be used only as recommended by a doctor.
In addition to the bacterial nature of the inflammatory process, antibacterial drugs are used, selected depending on the sensitivity of the pathogen. Dosage and duration of antibiotics are also selected individually.
In addition, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, herbal preparations that stop inflammation and improve metabolic processes in the prostate can be used.

Another effective remedy for prostatitis are suppositories, the active ingredient of which is biomass obtained from the larvae of gypsy moth insects. In 2020, scientists from the Cuban State Medical University conducted a study, the results of which prove the feasibility of using this drug in patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis.
From the group of alpha-adrenergic blockers, the drug that helps relax the smooth muscle fibers of the neck of the bladder and the prostate is the most commonly used, which leads to an improvement in the flow of urine.
