Overview
Secondary preventive therapies struggle due to developing resistance in the strains causing prostatitis. Fosfomycin given before urogenital procedures is helpful in preventing prostatitis. Ginsenoid has a preventive effect on chronic bacterial prostatitis but some still consider it controversial due to lack of evidence.[1]
Secondary Prevention
The following facts about secondary prevention of prostatitis must be kept in mind[2][3]
- Due to resistant strains, empiric antibiotics are not as effective in preventing episodes of prostatitis.
- Fosfomycin has bee used prophylactically in patients undergoing TURP.
- Ginsenoid is effective in preventing chronic bacterial prostatitis.
