Preservation of prostate function is essential to maintain male sexual activity and well-being.Prevention of prostatitis in men is relevant at any age and is vital after age 50, when the risk of morbidity 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 for prophylactic purposes can be taken in acute forms of prostatitis, preventing the chronic course of the disease.
Prevention principles
Prophylactic drug therapy 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 secretion flow;
- 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 proportion of sex hormones;
- increased potency.
To solve the defined tasks, groups of drugs from various exposure spectra are used. If necessary, complex therapy can be prescribed.
| types of drugs | What is your action for? |
