Anatomy was long forgotten when knowledge from school textbooks was supposed to come in handy in personal experience. It seems that the discomfort of one's own body can start from "nowhere". After reading the internet and making a bad diagnosis yourself, you can start your problem very strongly and create new ones. The prostate is an organ found in only half of men. Unfortunately, prostatitis often occurs in men, especially those over the age of 50.
reason
There are many causes of prostatitis, and even one of them can lead to a serious violation of the gland's work.
- Irregular sex or no sex at all. Irregularity of sexual relations is the cause of the stagnant process of the prostate, because it is this gland that is responsible for erection, ejaculation;
- Periodic or one-off hypothermia can lead to inflammation of the prostate, reducing its function, leading to congestion and chronic prostatitis;
- In men without prostatitis, as well as routine infections, sexually transmitted infections can lead to inflammation and infection of the glands, a process that can be exacerbated in patients with initial or chronic prostatitis;
- A sedentary or inactive lifestyle can automatically lead to prostate dysfunction and stalled processes;
- Alcohol use and binge drinking is a powerful stimulator of glandular dysfunction problems;
- Unbalanced nutrition - The use of spicy, salty, smoked foods can irritate not only the gastrointestinal tract, but also the urinary tract and the mucous membranes of the prostate. In addition, such discontinued products include excess spices, seasonings and marinades. Therefore, malnutrition can lead to chronic prostate inflammation;
- Stress, neurasthenia and nervousness, psychological instability to stimuli - this factor contributes to any disease, but also aggravates existing ones. As they say, all sores come from nerves;
- Accompanying chronic or experienced disease. Any experienced disease will greatly reduce immunity, if not strengthened, then you can easily "catch" the chronic form of the disease;
- Chronic infection foci that persist for a long time without treatment, leading to aggravation of the course of prostatitis;
- A sedentary lifestyle is a scourge for those who are inactive and not receptive to exercise. This is the most common cause of prostatitis. Violation of venous circulation, causing problems with the prostate;
- Pelvic circulation disorders. Impaired blood flow can have many causes - from mediocre constipation to hernias and pinched nerve endings in joints. Reduced blood flow can lead to glandular congestion and chronic inflammation.
treatment at home
It is very difficult to cure prostate inflammation at home, but it can be prevented from occurring to avoid fairly severe treatment with antibiotics and other concomitant medications prescribed by a urologist.
Folk remedies are only possible if you want to prevent and avoid this disease. In acute and chronic prostatitis, treatment with traditional folk methods is not included. But it's worth understanding that neither folk remedies nor distant relatives' stories of "miraculous recoveries" will help you if you don't take the problem very seriously and take a competent patient approach. Getting ready to treat at home is just the smallest part of the accompanying method to speed up the main course of treatment. As usual, full home therapy will not produce positive results, but combination therapy is quite possible. These methods include:
- herbal tinctures, tea blends;
- Massage (only after learning the correct technique from an expert);
- gymnastics;
- a diet that excludes dangerous foods and alcohol;
- regular sex life;
- an ordinary warm bath or use a soothing herbal soup;
- wipe;
- Small enema with herbal decoction.
It must be remembered that each person's body is unique and symptoms may vary, so choosing home remedies should also be based on what works for you. For example, one person needs herbal tea while the other just needs a bath, or for someone without intestinal obstruction, micro-irrigation is completely unnecessary.
folk remedies
onion skin
The most popular remedy everyone has heard of is an infusion of onion skins. The composition of the husk contains a large amount of organic acids, vitamins and trace elements required for men's health. Shell decoction also has antibacterial properties and boosts the immune system. It seems that everything can be healed with this soup. But you don't need to drink this infusion in liters.
Preparation: Peel the onions to remove impurities, peel and place the clean skins in a pot of boiling water. You need to cook for 5-7 minutes. Then cool and soak for about an hour.
After persistence, the infusion should be filtered out of the shell and taken with a spoon 3 times a day. Treatment at home in this way should not exceed a week. Therefore, there is no need to brew a lot of husks. You can repeat the course over several months.
sugar
Adding honey instead of sugar to your diet can have beneficial effects on the entire body, but only if you are not allergic to it, have diabetes, and the honey itself is natural, free of additives and dyes.
If you want to use honey to help yourself with prostatitis, then you can use it with tea, or as an addition to cheese, or just your favorite dishes. It is not recommended to consume more than 200 grams of honey per day.
Here's another feature: honey cannot be heated. That said, if you want to add it to your tea, the drink should be cooled to at least 45 degrees. When heated, this therapeutic product loses its beneficial properties. If you reasonably introduce honey into your diet, the work of the urinary system will soon improve and the itching and irritation will disappear.
In addition to the usual honey tea, you can also make an equally valuable and healthy decoction with celandine and honey. To prepare it you will need:
- 100 g dried celandine;
- 700 grams of boiling water;
- 500 grams of natural nectar.
Preparation: Celandine must be boiled for 20-25 minutes and then soaked for an hour or two or so. After the broth has cooled, strain through cheesecloth and stir in the honey. You need to use 1 tablespoon of the decoction 3 times a day for a month. But you should only do this if you're sure you don't need any medication at this time. Also, alcohol is strictly prohibited while taking this decoction. Store the infusion in an airtight jar in the refrigerator.
pumpkin seeds
The composition of pumpkin seeds contains a lot of zinc, so the daily standard for men is 30 seeds per day. Of course, this natural medicine cannot be fried and can only be eaten raw. You can consume the seeds in purified form daily or prepare medicinal "confectionaries".
To prepare the candy you will need 500 grams of raw peeled pumpkin seeds and 200 grams of honey. Blend the seeds in a blender or meat grinder, then combine with the honey. Make nut-sized balls and store them in the refrigerator. You can eat up to 5 of these candies a day. Balls must be chewed thoroughly for a long time (about 3 minutes) and always before meals.
fresh juice
For prostatitis, freshly squeezed juices are allowed, but not all fruits and berries are suitable for preventing this disease.The main products for making juice should be:
- asparagus;
- beet;
- cucumber;
- carrot.
0. 5 liters of fresh juice should be consumed daily. However, it is best to consult a urologist when taking this juice supplement for nutritional purposes, as it is not suitable for every man. By the way, anyone looking to add asparagus to his diet because of its very positive effects on the prostate.
exercise for chronic prostatitis
Squat
The lower body should not feel pain or weakness during exercise. These are clear signs of impaired blood supply to the pelvis. Start with 10-15 squats and work your way up. If you can do up to 100 squats at a time, that's enough to maintain good blood circulation and muscle tone every day. Also, this simple exercise will be of great help in a sexual relationship.
The most effective exercises are the simplest squats. But their execution technique is very important. The squat should be performed with the legs wider than the shoulders, and the squat should be slightly below knee level. Don't do the exercise suddenly - it's better to slow down and pay attention to your breathing.
Kegel exercises
Usually this exercise is heard by women, but it also has great benefits for men who keep training and repeating. To perform Kegel exercises, you need a full bladder. When urinating, you should hold the injector briefly and continue emptying your bladder. Alternate: Drain - Delay - Drain - Delay. The delay should literally complete a few seconds. Constant repetition can improve blood circulation to the prostate.
Furthermore, the exercise can be performed simply by tensing the muscles without emptying them. If you decide to start these exercises, start with small amounts - 5-6 repetitions during the day. It is very good to have 100 repetitions after continuous training. This affects prostate health, as well as sexual endurance.
anal muscle workout
Exercise of the anal muscles is good for the prostate. To perform this exercise, you need to compress and decompress the sphincter. Not only can this practice be performed almost continuously, it is also invisible to others. But its benefits are very big - prostate tumor, prevention of hemorrhoids and rectal nodule prolapse, and recovery after this disease.
yoga
The benefits of yoga are because the quiet exercise involves all the muscles of the body, even those deep inside.
Many men are embarrassed to go to yoga because they think the sport is feminine—a deep delusion and a stagnant stereotype. So, if you want to get back in shape, put aside these biases and at least practice yoga at home based on video lessons.
Particular emphasis should be placed on the following poses of hatha yoga:
- Inverted asana, which unloads the veins in the prostate plexus;
- Postures involving the hip joint;
- Abdominal exercises.
morning exercises
It's no wonder that every physical education class we have at school starts with simple exercise, and every parent feels it is his responsibility to let his offspring start the day with light exercise. Perhaps many people do this on a subconscious level, but each of these simple exercises can relieve chronic prostatitis or prevent it from happening in men of any age.
- Slow squat, half squat;
- Raise the leg with the knee as high as possible;
- Squeeze a ball or pillow with your knees while standing and sitting;
- "Birch", when immobilizing the lower back, you need to stay with the legs in the upper position for 10-15 seconds;
- Squats that alternately contract the legs in different directions.
Ideal for classes in the pool, quiet running, and walking. Heavy weight training in the gym or at home is prohibited.
prostate massage
An at-home massage should only be done after a class from a qualified specialist, because if you try to do it without the basics, you can really hurt yourself. Massage helps:
- When restoring the tone of the gland;
- For the outflow of male secretions;
- ensure normal blood flow;
- Improve the effectiveness of taking medicines.
Self-massage has contraindications. Therefore, massage is not suitable for acute prostatitis, prostate cancer or organ stones.
To prevent and treat prostatitis at home, you need:
- Follow your doctor's advice.
- Do not self-treat chronic prostatitis and its acute forms, permitted only for prophylaxis or as a concomitant factor.
- If you're the "you" of exercise, start with mild therapeutic exercises at home: squats, inclines, jogging. Start exercising in the pool.
- Strengthen your immune system and exercise more.
- Decoctions and infusions must be prepared using proven raw materials and following a few simple rules.
- Follow the rules for taking decoctions.
