Preserving prostate function is essential for maintaining sexual activity and male well-being.The prevention of prostatitis in men is relevant at any age and is essential after the age of 50, 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.

Principles of prevention
Prophylactic drug therapy of prostatitis with biologically active drugs and additives is aimed at:
- prevention of inflammatory processes in the tissues of the gland;
- fight infections that cause prostate disease;
- improvement of blood microcirculation and the outflow of secretions;
- 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;
- more power.
To solve the set tasks, groups of drugs with various exposure spectra are used. If necessary, complex therapy can be prescribed.
| Types of drugs | What their action is designed for |
