An important condition for maintaining male sexual activity and good health is maintaining prostate function.Prevention of prostatitis in men is relevant at any age and is vital after 50 years, 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. Medications for prophylactic purposes can also be taken for acute forms of prostatitis, preventing the chronic course of the disease.
Principles of prevention
Preventive drug therapy for prostatitis with drugs, as well as dietary supplements, is aimed at:
- prevention of inflammatory processes in gland tissues;
- fight against infections that cause prostate diseases;
- improvement of blood microcirculation and secretion outflow;
- normalization of metabolism in the prostate gland and neighboring organs, their nutrition;
- increasing local immunity of glandular cells;
- prevention of infections, including sexually transmitted ones;
- control of the level and ratio of sex hormones;
- increase in potency.
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? |
| Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs | Normalize the tone of the muscles of the genitourinary system and perineum, preventing the occurrence of inflammatory phenomena 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 acute 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 gland, improving the flow of urine. They have a partially suppressive effect on the sympathetic nervous system, weakening its effect on the prostate. |
| Immunomodulators | Aimed at maintaining the general tone of the body and strengthening local reactions of glandular structures, as well as resisting viruses and bacteria. |
| Herbal preparations | Increase the body's defenses thanks to natural ingredients. Relieves swelling, normalizing urine excretion. |
| Homeopathic medicines | Stabilize metabolic processes at the cellular level, having a mild effect on the body; restore damaged cells. |
Medications
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 medications aimed at strengthening potency and improving the health of the prostate can cause different (even opposite) reactions in patients, so the selection of drugs is always individual.
When prescribing a course of treatment, the specialist takes into account the differences in drugs and their spectrum of action:
- Some of them, along with prophylactic properties, have medicinal properties, others are used as an 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 method of use (treatment can be carried out using tablets, injections, suppositories, ointments, gels).
A professional approach will help carry out prevention competently.This is important to maintain health and avoid unnecessary complications.
