An important condition for maintaining male sexual activity and good health is maintaining prostate function.Prevention of prostatitis in men is relevant at any age and is vital after the age of 50, when the risk of incidence increases.To prevent the disease, several modern drugs have been developed that are effective in preventing degenerative processes in the tissues of a healthy gland. Medications can also be taken for prophylactic purposes for acute forms of prostatitis, preventing the chronic course of the disease.
Prevention principles
Preventive pharmacotherapy of prostatitis with drugs, as well as dietary supplements, is aimed at:
- prevention of inflammatory processes in glandular tissues;
- fight infections that cause prostate diseases;
- improvement of blood microcirculation and secretion outflow;
- normalization of metabolism in the prostate and neighboring organs, their nutrition;
- increase local immunity of glandular cells;
- prevention of infections, including sexually transmitted infections;
- control of the level and ratio of sex hormones;
- power boost.
To solve these problems, groups of drugs with different spectrum of effects are used. If necessary, complex therapy can be prescribed.
| types of drugs | What is its effect? |
