An important prerequisite for maintaining sexual activity and men's health is maintaining prostate function.Prevention of prostatitis in men is relevant at any age and is crucial after the age of 50, when the risk of incidence increases.To prevent the disease, a number of modern drugs have been developed that effectively prevent degenerative processes in the tissue of a healthy gland. Even in acute forms of prostatitis, medication can be taken as prophylaxis to prevent the disease from becoming chronic.
Principles of prevention
Preventive drug therapy for prostatitis with medications and nutritional supplements aims to:
- Prevention of inflammatory processes in glandular tissue;
- Fighting infections that cause prostate disease;
- Improving blood microcirculation and secretion outflow;
- Normalization of metabolism in the prostate and neighboring organs, their nutrition;
- Increasing local immunity of glandular cells;
- prevention of infections, including sexually transmitted infections;
- Control of the level and ratio of sex hormones;
- Increasing potency.
To solve these problems, groups of drugs with different spectrums of action are used. If necessary, complex therapy can be prescribed.

When prescribing treatment, the specialist takes into account the differences in medications and their range of effects:
- Some of them, in addition to prophylactic properties, also have medicinal properties, others are used as an adjunct to the main treatment.
