Preservation of prostate function is essential for maintaining male sexual activity and well-being.Prophylaxis of prostatitis in men is relevant at any age and is vital after 50 years, when the risk of disease increases.To prevent the disease, a number of modern drugs have been developed that are effective in preventing degenerative processes in the tissues of a healthy gland. Prophylactic drugs can be taken in acute forms of prostatitis, preventing the chronic course of the disease.
Principles of prevention
Prophylactic drug therapy of prostatitis with drugs and biologically active supplements is aimed at:
- prevention of inflammatory processes in the tissues of the gland;
- fighting infections that cause prostate disease;
- improving blood microcirculation and secretion leakage;
- normalization of metabolism in the prostate gland and neighboring 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 potency.
Groups of drugs with different exposure spectra are used to solve the set tasks. If necessary, complex therapy can be prescribed.
| Types of drugs | What is their action intended for |
