An anti-inflammatory drug is a type of analgesic, which remedies pain by reducing inflammation rather than affecting the brain. Before undergoing prostate cancer treatments, many doctors recommend that patients stop taking anti-inflammatory drugs. The use of them could cause excessive bleeding in some patients. After minimally-invasive surgeries for prostate cancer, patients may also take anti-inflammatory drugs, available over the counter as a pharmacy, to reduce swelling and discomfort.
