Prostatitis is a serious disease that can affect any man. It is associated with inflammation. Under the influence of certain pathological factors, the development of the inflammatory process begins in the organ. The causes of the problem are various: infection, congestion with weakened urination, allergies, autoimmune processes and much more.
According to statistics, prostatitis is the most common urological disease.
Men over 30 years of age have a 30% risk of developing this pathology. After 40 years, the likelihood of acquiring prostatitis increases to 40%. Every second older representative of the stronger sex suffers from one degree or another of prostatitis. According to numerous surveys, the drug “Vitaprost” is very popular in the treatment of prostatitis, reviews of which from men indicate its real effectiveness.
Why does prostatitis occur?
In most cases, the disease is caused by two reasons:
- development of an infectious process in the pelvis;
- congestion in the prostate area.
There are a great many factors for the development of both forms of pathology. Among them there are internal reasons that do not directly depend on a person’s lifestyle. These include:
- genitourinary infections;
- bacterial nature;
- untreated chronic bacterial diseases;
- hormonal imbalance in the body;
- age-related changes;
- anatomical features in the structure of the prostate;
- the presence of chronic sacrolumbar radiculitis.
There are also external prerequisites for the onset of the disease, which are directly related to a man’s lifestyle and the presence of some bad habits.
Here are the most common:
- local hypothermia;
- nervous and physical stress;
- physical inactivity, sedentary work;
- irregular sex life;
- smoking and alcohol abuse;
- poor quality food.
All these factors are present to a greater or lesser extent in the life of a modern man. Therefore, urologists note a tendency towards an increase in the incidence of prostatitis. Doctors also note the fact that this pathology also affects young men.

"Vitaprost Plus"
For the treatment of prostatitis caused by a bacterial infection, doctors recommend the drug "Vitaprost Plus". Tablets and suppositories under this name contain the antibiotic lomefloxacin. In this regard, the drug is contraindicated for use in patients under 18 years of age. Lomefloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic from the group of fluoroquinolones. It is effective against bacteria that cause genitourinary diseases.
Analogs
Among the drugs that are similar to Vitaprost, one can note Prostatilen. This pharmaceutical product is domestic and is produced by ZAO MBNPC Cytomed.
Contains the same active substance - bovine prostate extract.
But in addition, the developers included arginine, glycine and zinc. This made the drug even more effective and provided a wider spectrum of action.
Laboratory tests were conducted in which male rats participated. The experimental animals were divided into four groups of ten animals each. The first group was the control group. The remaining animals were injected with a solution of dimexide, which provoked the manifestation of prostate diseases. As a result, one group of healthy animals and three groups of rats with prostatitis were obtained.
The second group was observed without treatment, the third group was administered Vitaprost, and the fourth group was administered Prostatilen in the amount of a daily dose. After the 58th day of the experiment, the results were summed up. Compared to the second group, the percentage of males with prostate inflammation in group No. 3 decreased by 40%, in group No. 4 - by 50%. Thus, in the confrontation between the drugs Prostatilen and Vitaprost, the former won with a margin of 10%.
Another popular medicinal analogue of Vitaprost is Prostamol Uno. This medicine contains extract of the fruits of the finely serrated sabal.
The drug is a gelatin capsule for chewing. According to its pharmacological action, it belongs to anti-inflammatory drugs that produce antiexudative and antiandrogenic effects. Relieves pain and discomfort in prostate hyperplasia, chronic prostatitis, eliminates polyuria.
This medicine is the brainchild of the AG Berlin-Chemie company; its cost is up to 1047 rubles per package. Reviews from men about Prostamol Uno can hardly be called flattering. Many people talk about the low effectiveness of this drug, as well as the need for long-term use for its positive properties to manifest itself.
"Vitaprost" or "Prostamol" - which is better? Judging by the reviews, preference should be given to the first medication. According to many indicators, the domestic drug has proven to be much more effective in treating prostate disease. Vitaprost not only eliminates the symptoms of inflammation of the prostate gland, but also helps to reduce its size. This feature explains the fact that doctors and patients choose Vitaprost.
Diseases associated with the prostate gland have become more frequent in recent years. According to statistics, 40-50% of men suffer from reproductive system disorders. Urologists and sex therapists are concerned about the increasing number of male diseases.
Prevalence of prostate diseases
There is a lot of fiction around this problem, dubious data intertwined with the truth. The words “prostatitis” and “adenoma” are heard in advertisements quite often. Treatment of prostatitis has become like a commercial activity. The consumer is offered a huge variety of methods and medications to eliminate ailments associated with men's health.
The difficulty lies in the fact that they advertise drugs about which there is still no reliable information, for example, about their effectiveness and safety. Advertising through the media is aimed at a potential patient who is not able to evaluate all the benefits or disadvantages of the proposed treatment method. Some medical centers that promote cures for prostatitis do not even have a urologist on staff.
All this leads to complications in the patient’s decision-making and quality treatment. Having experienced the ineffectiveness of various methods, taking often expensive drugs that hit the budget, the patient is in a difficult situation.
Therefore, before agreeing to treatment, it is necessary to consult with a doctor and ask questions related not only to taking medications, but also to the effectiveness of their use. If possible, collect reliable information about the disease itself. Consultations with different doctors will help to create an overall clinical picture.
What is prostatitis?
Men who have never had intimate problems before do not fully understand what is meant by the word “prostatitis.” When a doctor, after an examination, diagnoses “inflammation of the prostate gland” or “adenoma,” the patient may be at a loss about the seriousness of his illness.
The prostate gland is a male muscular organ located in the pelvis. She produces a special secretion that is included in the sperm. The urethra passes through the prostate gland, as well as the ducts through which semen is released. The shape of the prostate is similar to a chestnut.
The prostate gland produces secretions all the time. But it enters the urethra only during ejaculation. The composition of sperm contains 40% of this secretion. Thanks to its function, sperm are motile and fertilization of the egg is possible.
In addition to producing secret fluid, the prostate gland ensures the exchange of hormones in the male reproductive system. This process is very important for the normal life of the body as a whole and the full functioning of the reproductive system.
Prostatitis refers to a combination of diseases in the prostate gland. This disease affects the lower urinary tract. Several types of prostatitis are classified:
- bacterial, having an acute stage;
- bacterial - chronic course;
- non-bacterial;
- stagnant;
- atony (prostate neurosis).
Prostatitis can develop in men starting at the age of 20. But most often this disease manifests itself in men after 45 years of age. Therefore, doctors recommend that everyone undergo examinations once a year, and those over 40 should do so without fail. Timely detection of a problem helps to eliminate it completely.
What are the symptoms of prostatitis?
Symptoms of prostatitis may vary depending on its type. Most often present:
Such symptoms of prostatitis in the acute stage can appear simultaneously or one at a time. But erectile dysfunction always exists. But a man, having experienced this, may not seek help. And it's very bad.
After 4-5 days, acute prostatitis gradually turns into a chronic form. The symptoms weaken, the pain becomes less or completely subsides, and the man can be sure that everything has gone away on its own. Being in this state, the inflammatory gland ceases to function normally. Treatment of chronic prostatitis may require a long time.
In advanced stages, prostatitis can lead to BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) and prostate cancer. Acute prostatitis, as a rule, is manifested by elevated body temperature up to 39 degrees, pain can be very severe, radiating to the groin and penis. When defecating, pain often occurs in the anus, which may suggest hemorrhoids.
The very phrase “bacterial prostatitis” reminds us that the disease is caused by bacteria. Living a promiscuous sex life, a man can become infected with chlamydia, trichomoniasis, and ureaplasmosis. Over time, pathogenic bacteria lead to inflammation in the genitourinary system and damage to the prostate gland.
At first, bacterial prostatitis may not cause severe pain. Discomfort when urinating, slight pain in the perineum, and discharge will not particularly cause alarm. Therefore, in most cases, viruses that are harmful to men’s health multiply unhindered.
After some time, difficulties with erection begin. The inflammatory process affects the nerves responsible for the erectile function of a man. General health begins to deteriorate. The patient may become more irritable, nervous, and dissatisfied with his health. Psychological problems arise.
A man, feeling weak in his intimate life, may be afraid of failing in bed. This sometimes leads to a refusal of sexual intimacy. Therefore, urologists who treat male problems must also be good psychologists. It is necessary to explain to the man the cause of erectile dysfunction and convince him that men's health can be stabilized with proper treatment.
Causes of prostatitis
The most common causes of inflammation in the prostate gland with subsequent negative manifestations are:
This is just some description of the causes and types of prostatitis. An examination at a medical institution will help the doctor tell you in more detail about the disease that has arisen and the cause of each individual case. Some patients are ashamed to seek advice from a doctor. They read discussions on these sensitive topics on various forums.
But this approach will not solve the problem, but will only worsen the condition. Self-medication offered by forum visitors can even be dangerous. Traditional methods offered by those who allegedly experienced their effects themselves are only the opinion of people who do not have a medical education.
By agreeing to dubious procedures, a man can aggravate his illness so much that it will be quite difficult to restore his health, and treatment will be expensive and lengthy. Therefore, you need to show common sense in this matter and, putting aside shame, get examined by a specialist using modern equipment.

In matters of impact on problems associated with prostatitis, an integrated approach is important. Therefore, in addition to paying attention to lifestyle and proper physical activity, competent drug prevention is also necessary.
An example is a course of use based on animal prostate extract. Thus, on the recommendation of the attending physician, prostatitis prevention with Vitaprost may be indicated.
Despite the fact that the drug has no contraindications and no cases of overdose or side effects have been identified with its use, a specialist should prescribe the dosage, course duration and type of medication.
Effect of the drug Vitaprost
The product of animal origin is aimed at stimulating the functioning of the prostate in a healthy manner. First of all, it improves blood circulation. It is poor blood circulation that leads to stagnation and the inability to independently fight infection using immune resources.
Vitaprost for prostatitis promotes the renewal of muscle tissue, which for the most part consists of the prostate organ. The contraction of muscle fibers stimulates the timely and complete release of prostate secretions into the vas deferens.
This eliminates the possibility of creating conditions for the life of bacteria. Moreover, the healthy functioning of the prostate allows you to control the biological processes in it without the use of aggressive drugs of the antibiotic class.
At the same time, Vitaprost does not affect the chemical composition of the blood, that is, it does not accumulate in it. And, therefore, the occurrence of side effects is impossible. This is confirmed clinically.
Vitaprost for prostatitis can not only effectively prevent it, but also influence its particular manifestations. In the chronic course of the disease, the remedy can eliminate the possibility of exacerbation. It relieves swelling of the prostate and has a positive effect on the inflammatory process, gradually reducing its activity.
What is special about Vitaprost?
The biological nature of the drug allows it to be prescribed to a wide range of patients. It has no contraindications, except for an individual allergic reaction to samprost, an extract of animal origin. In all other cases, the drug is well tolerated and has a high percentage of positive responses.
Prevention of prostatitis with Vitaprost can be carried out at any age. Of course, the drug works most effectively in combination with a healthy lifestyle. Inadmissible during the period of taking a prophylactic drug. Beer has a particularly depressing effect on the activity of the genitourinary system. Therefore, the entire result of preventive measures can go down the drain literally because of one evening.
The effectiveness of the drug in preventing the disease has been proven clinically. This makes it possible to be confident in the result. However, it would also be wrong to consider the remedy a panacea.
Individual characteristics of the body and lifestyle always affect the effectiveness of medications. Therefore, the prescription of Vitaprost as a preventive measure should be carried out by the attending physician.
Prevention of prostatitis with Vitaprost is carried out due to the targeted action of the drug. This is, first of all, the normalization of biological functions in the prostate organ. Stimulation of blood circulation improves tissue respiration and normalizes metabolic processes. This means that the body receives strength for the natural regeneration of healthy cells.
Timely and regular ejaculation is very important for prostate health. Even with an active sexual life, functional changes in the prostate gland are possible, which leads to weak erection and delayed release of prostate secretions into the vas deferens. Vitaprost solves this problem by stimulating the contractile movements of muscle tissue in a healthy manner.
