Preserving prostate function is essential for maintaining male sexual activity and well-being.Prevention of prostatitis in men is relevant at any age and essential after 50 years, when the risk of morbidity increases.To prevent the disease, a number of modern drugs have been developed which are effective in preventing degenerative processes in the tissues of a healthy gland. Medicines for prophylactic use can be drunk in acute forms of prostatitis, preventing the chronic course of the disease.
Principles of prevention
Prophylactic drug treatment of prostatitis with drugs, as well as biologically active additives is aimed at:
- prevention of inflammatory processes in the tissues of the gland;
- fight infections that cause prostate disease;
- improvement of blood microcirculation and flow of secretions;
- normalization of metabolism in the prostate and adjacent organs, their nutrition;
- increased local immunity of glandular cells;
- prevention of infections, including sexually transmitted infections;
- control of the level and ratio of sex hormones;
- increased power.
To solve the defined tasks, groups of drugs of various exposure spectra are used. If necessary, complex therapy can be prescribed.
| Types of drugs | What is their action for |
|---|---|
