An important condition for maintaining male sexual activity and good health is maintaining the function of the prostate.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, 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 also be taken for acute forms of prostatitis, preventing the chronic course of the disease.
Prevention principles
Preventive drug therapy for prostatitis with drugs and dietary supplements is aimed at:
- prevention of inflammatory processes in glandular tissues;
- fight against infections that cause prostate diseases;

- normalization of metabolism in the prostate gland and nearby organs, their nutrition;
- increased local immunity of glandular cells;
- prevention of infections, including sexually transmitted infections;
- control of the level and ratio of sexual hormones;
- increase in power.
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 their effect? |
