For the treatment of chronic or acute infectious prostatitisit is preferable to use antibiotics belonging to the group of fluoroquinolones. Antibacterial agents of this type have increased bioavailability and penetrate the prostate tissue to a large extent.
The total duration of antibiotic treatment for infectious prostatitis is at least 3 months.
If antibacterial therapyMedicines belonging to the group of fluoroquinolones have proven to be ineffective, patients are prescribed lincosamides or penicillins.
In case of provocation of Chlamydia diseaseAntibiotics from the tetracycline group are part of complex therapy.

In order to restore this and normalize the hormonal level, as well as to reduce the intensity of the development of the inflammatory process, men with inflammatory changes in the prostate are often prescribed hormonal drugs.
