Maintaining prostate function is an important condition for maintaining male sexual activity and good health.Prevention of prostatitis in men is relevant at any age and becomes vital after 50 years, when the risk of incidence increases.To prevent the disease, a number of modern drugs have been developed, effective in preventing degenerative processes in the tissues of a healthy gland. Medicines for prophylactic purposes can also be taken for acute forms of prostatitis, preventing the chronic course of the disease.
Principles of prevention
Preventive drug treatment of prostatitis with medications, as well as dietary supplements, is aimed at:
- prevention of inflammatory processes in glandular tissues;
- fight against infections causing prostate diseases;
- improvement of blood microcirculation and secretion flow;
- normalization of metabolism of the prostate and neighboring organs, their nutrition;
- increase local immunity of glandular cells;
- prevention of infections, including sexually transmitted infections;
- control of the level and ratio of sex hormones;
- increase in power.
To solve these problems, groups of drugs with different spectrums of effects are used. If necessary, complex therapy can be prescribed.
| Types of medications | What is their effect? |
| Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories | Normalize the tone of the muscles of the genitourinary system and perineum, avoiding the appearance of inflammatory phenomena in the tissues of the gland; prevent hypertrophy. |
| Antibiotics | Intended to destroy pathogens that can cause pathological changes. |
| Painkillers | They are used for the symptomatic treatment of acute diseases, relieve spasm of blood vessels and muscles, which helps prevent hypertrophy. |
| Adrenergic blockers | They have a relaxing effect on the smooth muscles of the prostate, thereby improving urinary flow. They have a partially suppressive effect on the sympathetic nervous system, thereby weakening its effect on the prostate. |
| Immunomodulators | Intended to maintain the general tone of the body and to strengthen the local reactions of glandular structures, as well as to resist viruses and bacteria. |
| Herbal preparations | Increase the body's defenses with natural ingredients. Relieves swelling and normalizes urinary excretion. |
| Homeopathic medicines | Stabilize metabolic processes at the cellular level, having a slight effect on the body; restore damaged cells. |
Drugs
You can choose the right pharmacological agents by obtaining professional advice from a urologist. The list of funds should be based on:
- preliminary diagnosis;
- complaints and symptoms;
- the general condition of the patient, taking into account his age and sexual activity.
Please note: many drugs aimed at strengthening potency and improving prostate health can cause different (even opposite) reactions in patients, so the choice of drugs is always individual.
When prescribing treatment, the specialist takes into account the differences between drugs and their spectrum of action:
- Some of them, in addition to their prophylactic properties, have medicinal properties, others are used as an addition to the main treatment.
- Some have a systemic effect while others act locally (directly on the gland).
- Medicines also differ in the method of use (treatment can be carried out using tablets, injections, suppositories, ointments, gels).
A professional approach will help to competently carry out prevention.This is important for maintaining health and avoiding unnecessary complications.
