The most effective medications for prostatitis

Prostatitis has become a common disease not only among men aged 50+, but also among young people. One of the reasons is self-medication: using inappropriate medicine for prostatitis will not eliminate the disease, but will only weaken the symptoms. The choice of drug should be justified by the type of disease and the nature of its course.

Prostatitis is an inflammatory disease of the male unpaired exocrine gland - the prostate. The quality work of this organ determines reproductive health, sexual capabilities, and psycho-emotional state in men. Drug treatment for prostatitis is selected based on the etiology and form of the disease. Incorrect or untimely therapy threatens the development of erectile dysfunction and prostate adenoma.
