Maintaining prostate function is essential for maintaining male sexual activity and well-being.In men, prevention of prostatitis is relevant at all ages and is vital after 50 years when the risk of morbidity increases.To prevent the disease, a number of modern drugs have been developed that are effective in preventing degenerative processes in the tissues of the healthy gland. Prophylactic drugs can be taken in acute forms of prostatitis to prevent the chronic course of the disease.
Principles of prevention
Prophylactic drug therapy for prostatitis with drugs and biologically active additives is aimed at:
- prevention of inflammatory processes in the tissues of the gland;
- combating infections that cause prostate disease;
- improving blood microcirculation and secretion outflow;
- normalization of metabolism in the prostate gland and adjacent organs, their nutrition;
- enhanced local immunity of glandular cells;
- prevention of infections, including sexually transmitted infections;
- monitoring the levels and proportions of sex hormones;
- increased potency.
Different groups of drugs with different exposure spectra are used to solve the set tasks. If necessary, complex therapy may be prescribed.
