Preservation of prostate function is essential for maintaining male sexual activity and well-being.Prevention of prostatitis in men is relevant at any age and is vital after 50 years, when the risk of morbidity 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.

Prevention principles
Prophylactic drug therapy of prostatitis with drugs, as well as biologically active additives is aimed at:
- prevention of inflammatory processes in the tissues of the gland;
- fighting infections that cause prostate disease;
- improvement of blood microcirculation and secretion outflow;
- normalization of metabolism in the prostate gland and adjacent organs, their nutrition;
- increased local immunity of glandular cells;
- prevention of infections, including sexually transmitted infections;
- control of the level and ratio of sex hormones;
- increased potency.
To solve the set tasks, groups of drugs of various exposure spectra are used. If necessary, complex therapy can be prescribed.
| Types of drugs | What is their action designed for |
