Preserving prostate function is key to maintaining male sexual activity and well-being.Prevention of prostatitis in men is relevant at any age and is vital after the age of 50, 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, thus preventing the chronic course of the disease.
Principles of prevention
Prophylactic therapy of prostatitis with drugs, as well as biologically active additives is aimed at:
- prevention of inflammatory processes in glandular tissues;
- fight against infections that cause prostate disease;
- improving blood microcirculation and secretion outflow;
- normalization of metabolism in the prostate and adjacent organs, their nutrition;
- increased local immunity of glandular cells;
- prevention of infections, including sexually transmitted infections;
- control of sex hormone levels and ratios;
- increased potency.
Groups of drugs from different spectra of exposure are used to solve the set tasks. If necessary, complex therapy can be prescribed.
| Types of drugs | What is their action designed for? |
|---|---|
| Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs | Normalize the muscle tone of the organs of the genitourinary system and perineum, preventing the appearance of inflammation in the tissues of the gland; prevent hypertrophy. |
| Antibiotics | Aimed at destroying pathogens that can cause pathological changes. |
| Painkillers | They are used for the symptomatic treatment of the acute course of the disease, relieve spasms of blood vessels and muscles, which helps to avoid hypertrophy. |
| Adrenergic blockers | They have a relaxing effect on the smooth muscles of the prostate, improving the outflow of urine. They have a partially suppressive effect on the sympathetic nervous system, weakening its effect on the prostate. |
| Immunomodulators | They are aimed at maintaining the general tone of the organism and enhancing local reactions of glandular structures, as well as resistance to viruses and bacteria. |
| Herbal preparations | Increase the body's defenses thanks to natural ingredients. Relieves swelling, normalizing urine excretion. |
| Homeopathic remedies | They stabilize metabolic processes at the cellular level, with a mild effect on the body; repair damaged cells. |
Medications
You can choose the right pharmacological agents after the expert advice of a urologist. The list of funds should be based on:
- preliminary diagnosis;
- complaints and symptoms;
- general condition of the patient, taking into account his age, sexual activity.
Keep in mind: many drugs that aim to strengthen potency and improve the prostate can cause different (even opposite) reactions in patients, so the choice of drugs is always individual.
When prescribing the course of treatment, the specialist takes into account the difference between drugs, their spectrum of action:
- Some of them, in addition to prophylactic properties, have medicinal properties, others are used in addition to the main course of treatment.
- Some have a systemic effect, while others act locally (directly on the gland).
- Medicines also differ in the way they are used (treatment can be carried out with the help of tablets, injections, suppositories, ointments, gels).
A professional approach will help in the competent implementation of prevention.This is important to stay healthy and avoid unnecessary complications.
