Prostatitis develops forty, sometimes thirty years later, when a man is most active at work and in the family, and a decrease in potential can significantly undermine his self-confidence, not only on the love front, but in all areas of life. Prostatitis itself is not contagious, but one of its reasons is that sexually transmitted infections can spread to a patient's sexual partners.
The main reasons
There are several factors that contribute to the development of prostatitis and the resulting reduced potential:
- Stagnation in the prostate gland. This is one of the main causes of prostatitis. Irregular or obscene sex life contributes to the stagnation of secretions, while a sedentary lifestyle, lack of physical activity leads to blood stagnation. The result of both processes is the same - swelling of the prostate gland, increase in pressure in it and disruption of its functions (production of secretion and regulation of ejaculation).
- Uncomfortable temperature conditions of the external genitalia. Overheating and hypothermia negatively affect men’s health, tight underwear and uncomfortable pants also adversely affect potency. All this reduces the viability of sperm.
- Sexually Transmitted Infections. This is another threat to a disordered sex life. Connection of infection on the background of swelling of the prostate causes inflammation, sometimes with serious consequences.
Prevention measures
Prevention of prostatitis in men from childhood should begin with the development of hygienic skills in boys, with the ability to choose the right underwear and dress according to the weather. These are the key points that will allow you to be less sensitive to the harmful effects on the prostate in the future.
Prevention of prostatitis in young men and adults includes a regular sex life, preferably with the same partner, exercise and a healthy diet. It is important to get tested regularly for sexually transmitted infections and to get timely treatment, especially if men often have unprotected sex. It should not be protected by the method of interrupted intercourse - it causes stagnation of prostate secretion, moreover, it is far from the most reliable method of contraception.
There are special exercises for the prevention of prostatitis, they are quite simple and most of them can be performed without getting up from the chair. The essence of these exercises is to tense and relax different groups of perineum muscles, thus eliminating blood stagnation in the prostate gland and other small pelvic organs. Also useful for hiking, jogging, sitting, sports (football, volleyball, basketball), in winter - skiing and skating.
Medications used to enhance potency, such as the well-known Viagra, can also be considered to prevent prostatitis in men, but only if the dose is strictly adhered to. Overdose, like the use of Viagra without further sexual intercourse, on the contrary, causes stagnation of prostate secretion and increases the risk of prostatitis. Drugs used to prevent and enhance the potential of prostatitis in our country have the status of dietary supplements, ie are not considered drugs and are not subject to certification. This includes home remedies such as Men Support and Prost Plus, American Medicines - So Palmetto and Pro Formula and many more.
To prevent the chronic transformation of acute prostatitis, it is important to timely and complete cure of sexually transmitted infections, avoid unprotected sex with casual partners, and timely treatment of acute prostatitis.
Treatment
In case of diagnosis of prostatitis, its urgent treatment is necessary, because timely incurable acute prostatitis is chronic. To do this, use the medications that are available in tablets. In addition, rectal suppositories are used - they relieve inflammation during acute prostatitis or chronic exacerbations, reduce prostate swelling due to edema, anesthetize the surrounding tissues, and promote faster delivery of the active substance through the prostate wall. Rectum. You can take them with a doctor's prescription, even at home.
Transrectal massage of the prostate is also used for the treatment and prevention of prostatitis. The simplest method is digital, when the index or middle finger is inserted into the rectum into a glove lubricated with a special water-based lubricant, the lower part of the prostate is determined by touch and several intense pressures are applied to it. The upper parts of the gland are not damaged during the massage. Because of the inconvenience of the finger method and the disgust associated with it, there are prostate massage simulators.
Do not lose their value and exercises for the prevention of prostatitis, they accelerate the treatment process and are also the prevention of chronic prostatitis, which can occur during acute prostatitis, which is not completely cured.
Treating prostatitis at home involves eating a healthy diet - fiber-rich vegetables, lean meats and fish, plenty of fluids, and restriction of alcohol, especially beer. Moderate physical activity and regular sexual activity are preferred. Folk remedies are used: resorption of balls from pumpkin seeds and honey, jam juice, extracts of hazelnut leaves and bark, chestnut shells. And yet, the recommendations described are more for the prevention of prostatitis in men than for its treatment. Folk methods allow you to maintain health and well-being longer.
All methods of prevention and treatment of prostatitis are effective in combination, the use of any means does not give an immediate effect, so it is important to use them together and most importantly - with a doctor's advice.
