Anatomy has long been forgotten at a time when knowledge gained from school textbooks can be used through personal experience. Discomfort in your own body can start to appear "out of nowhere". After reading the internet and diagnosing yourself incorrectly, you can start your problem quite strongly and run a new one. The prostate is an organ found only in the male half of the population. Unfortunately, prostatitis occurs very often in men, especially those whose age has reached the mark of the fifth decade.
ᲛReasons
There are many causes of prostatitis and even one of them can lead to a gross disruption of the gland.
- Irregular sex life or its complete absence. Irregularity of sexual intercourse is the cause of stagnation processes in the prostate gland, since it is this gland that is responsible for erection, ejaculation;
- Regular or single hypothermia can promote inflammation of the prostate gland, reduce its function, cause edema and chronic prostatitis;
- Sexually transmitted infections in men who do not have prostatitis, as well as regular infection, cause inflammation and infection of the glands, while those who have prostatitis in its primary or chronic form, aggravate the process;
- A sedentary or inactive lifestyle automatically leads to prostate dysfunction and stagnant processes;
- Alcohol consumption and alcoholism are a strong provoking factor in the development of gland dysfunction problems;
- Unbalanced diet - Consumption of spicy, salty, smoked foods causes irritation not only of the gastrointestinal tract, but also of the urinary tract, as well as the mucous membrane of the prostate gland. Also, such stop products include excessive amounts of spices, seasonings and marinades. Consequently, improper nutrition leads to chronic inflammation of the prostate;
- Stress, nervous disorder and tension, psychological instability to irritating factors - this factor can cause any disease, but also worsen the existing one. As they say, all ulcers are from nerves;
- Concomitant chronic or experienced diseases. Any experienced disease significantly lowers immunity, and if it is not strengthened, then easily "catch" the chronic form of the disease;
- Foci of chronic infections that, with long-term treatment without exacerbation, exacerbate the course of prostatitis;
- A sedentary lifestyle is a disaster for those who are inactive and do not take up sports. This is the most common cause of prostatitis. Impaired venous circulation, leading to problems with the prostate gland;
- Disorders of blood circulation in the pelvis. There can be many causes of circulatory disorders - from banal constipation to hernias and stretching of nerve endings in the joint. Decreased blood flow leads to swelling and chronic inflammation in the gland.
Treat at home
It is quite difficult to cure prostatitis at home, but it is possible to prevent its occurrence by avoiding a rather serious course of treatment with antibiotics and other accompanying medications prescribed by a urologist.
Folk remedies can be used only if you want to prevent and prevent the disease. Treatment of acute forms and chronic prostatitis with outdated folk methods is excluded. But it is worth understanding that neither folk remedies nor distant relative stories about the "miraculous recovery" will help us unless you take the problem very seriously and with a competent patient approach. Be prepared for the fact that home treatment is only an accompanying method of the smallest fraction to speed up the basic healing process. Usually, home treatment exclusively does not lead to positive results, but joint therapy is quite possible. These methods include:
- Herbal tinctures, combined tea;
- Massage (only after studying the correct technique by a specialist);
- In gymnastics;
- A diet that excludes risky foods and alcohol;
- Regular sex life;
- Warm baths with ordinary or soothing herbal teas;
- friction;
- Small enemas with decoctions of herbs.
We must remember that each man's body is unique and the symptoms can be different, so the selection of home remedies should also be built on a competent approach to oneself. For example, one man needs herbal tea, another needs only baths with infusion, or microclysters are completely unnecessary for those who do not bother with intestinal blockage.
Folk remedies
Onion peel
The most popular remedy that everyone knows about is onion peel infusions. The composition of the bark contains a lot of organic acid, vitamins, trace elements that are necessary for men's health.

If you want honey to help with prostatitis problem, then you can use it with tea, cottage cheese or just add it to your favorite dishes. More than 200 grams of honey per day is not recommended.

When heated, this medicinal product loses its useful properties. If you ingest honey rationally, then the work of the urinary system will soon improve, the itching and irritation will disappear.
In addition to the usual tea with honey, you can prepare an equally valuable and healthy decoction with celandine and honey. To prepare it you will need:

You should use the decoction 1 tablespoon three times a day for a month. But you should only do this when you are sure that you will not need any medication at this time. Also, alcohol is strictly forbidden when making this decoration. Store the infusion in an airtight jar in the refrigerator.
Pumpkin seed
Pumpkin seeds contain a large amount of zinc in the composition, so the daily norm for men is 30 seeds per day. Of course, this natural remedy should not be fried, just raw. You can eat the seeds daily in a purified form, or you can prepare medicinal "sweets".
To prepare the sweets you will need 500 grams of peeled raw pumpkin seeds and 200 grams of honey. Turn the seeds in a blender or meat grinder and mix with the honey. Make small balls the size of a hazelnut and store in the refrigerator. You can eat up to 5 sweets a day. The balls should be chewed thoroughly and for a long time (about 3 minutes) and always before eating.
Freshly squeezed juices
Freshly squeezed juices are allowed during prostatitis, but not all fruits and berries are suitable for disease prevention.The main products for making juices should be:
- asparagus;
- Beets;
- Cucumber;
- Carrots.
Fresh juices should be drunk in the amount of 0. 5 liters per day. Nevertheless, taking such a diet supplement with juice is better to consult a urologist as it is not suitable for all men. By the way, it is advisable for any man to include asparagus in the diet as it has a very positive effect on the prostate gland.
Exercises for chronic prostatitis
Seats
The lower part of the body should not feel pain or weakness during exercise. These are obvious signs of blood supply to the pelvis. Start with a small number of 10-15 sit-ups, gradually increasing the number. If you can sit up to 100 at a time, then this is quite enough to maintain daily blood circulation and muscle tone. Also, this simple exercise will greatly help in sexual intercourse.
The most effective exercises are the simplest deep sit-ups. But the technique of their execution is very important. The squat should be done with the legs wider than the shoulders, the squat should be slightly below knee level. Do not perform the exercise suddenly - it is better to slow down, observe breathing.
Kegel exercises
Typically, this exercise is listened to by women, but it will also bring great benefits to men with constant exercise and repetition. A full bladder is needed to perform Kegel exercises. When urinating, briefly hold the cannon and continue to empty the bladder. Alternative: Empty - Delay - Empty - Delay. The delay should be literally a few seconds. Constant repetition improves blood circulation to the prostate.
Also, the exercise can be performed simply by stretching the muscles without emptying. If you decide to start these exercises, then start doing them in small amounts - 5-6 repetitions during the day. It is very good if the number of repetitions after constant training increases to 100. This affects both the health of the prostate gland and sexual stamina.
Anal muscle training
Anal muscle exercises are beneficial for the prostate gland. Sphincter compression and decompression are required to perform this exercise. Not only can this exercise be done almost constantly, it is also invisible to others. But its benefits are huge - the prostate gland comes to the nose, it is also the prevention of hemorrhoids and the removal of nodules from the rectum, and also recovery after this disease.
Yoga
The benefits of yoga are due to the fact that gentle exercises cover all the muscles of the body, even those that are deep.
Many men find it embarrassing to go to yoga because they find the sport feminine - it is a deep delusion and a stereotype of stagnation. So if you want to restore your health, get rid of these superstitions and practice yoga at least according to the video tutorials at home.
