Prevention of prostatitis in men requires attention and timeliness. The prostate is responsible for producing a substance that plays an important role in maintaining hormonal balance in the body of men.

Prostatitis is diagnosed in 25-40% of men. This disease was thought to affect middle-aged and older men, but the pathology can also develop in adolescents. If the prevention and treatment of prostatitis in men is not carried out in a timely manner, the likelihood of the disease becoming a chronic form increases. This is fraught with constant discomfort and pain, decreased sex drive, fertility and erection.
