Anatomy has long been forgotten if knowledge from a textbook should be useful for personal experience. Discomfort in one's own body can, it seems, start "out of nowhere". After reading the Internet and making the wrong diagnosis yourself, you can start your problem quite strongly and produce new ones. The prostate is an organ found exclusively in the male half of the population. Unfortunately, prostatitis is very common in men, especially those whose age has passed the fifth decade.
causes
There are many reasons for prostatitis, and even one of them can lead to gross violations of the work of the gland.
- Irregular sex life or its complete absence. The irregularity of sexual relations is the cause of stagnant processes in the prostate, since this gland is responsible for erection and ejaculation;
- Regular or one-off hypothermia can contribute to inflammation in the prostate, reduce its functionality, lead to congestion and chronic prostatitis;
- Sexually transmitted infections in men who do not have prostatitis, as well as regular infections lead to inflammation and infection of the glands, and in men with prostatitis in the initial or chronic form to 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 occurrence of gland dysfunction;
- Unbalanced diet - the use of spicy, salty, smoked foods leads to irritation of the mucous membrane of not only the gastrointestinal tract, but also the urinary tract, as well as the prostate. Also, such stop products contain an excessive amount of spices, seasonings and marinades. Accordingly, malnutrition leads to inflammation of the prostate at chronic levels;
- Stress, nervous breakdowns and tension, mental instability to irritating factors - this factor can cause any disease, but it can also aggravate existing ones. As they say, all wounds are of nerves;
- Concomitant chronic or experienced medical conditions. Any experienced illness significantly reduces immunity, and if it is not strengthened, you can easily "catch" the chronic form of the disease.
- Foci of chronic infections, which, if they persist for a long time without treatment, lead to an aggravation of the course of prostatitis;
- A sedentary lifestyle is a scourge for those who are inactive and don't exercise. This is the most common cause of prostatitis. Violated venous circulation leading to problems in the prostate;
- circulatory disorders in the pelvis. The reasons for a disturbed blood flow can be varied - from banal constipation to hernias to pinched nerve endings in the joint. Decreased blood flow causes congestion and chronic inflammation in the gland.
treatment at home
It is quite difficult to cure prostatitis at home, but it is possible to prevent its occurrence in order to avoid rather heavy treatment with antibiotics and other concomitant drugs prescribed by a urologist.
The use of folk remedies is possible only if you want to prevent and avoid the disease. With acute form and chronic prostatitis, treatment with old-fashioned methods is excluded. However, it is worthwhile to understand that neither folk remedies nor stories from a distant relative about a "miraculous recovery" will help if you do not take the problem very seriously and with a competent patient approach. Be prepared that home treatment onlyfor the smallest fraction is a companion method to speed up the main process of treatment. Exclusive home treatment, as usual, does not give positive results, but joint therapy is quite possible. These methods include:
- herbal tinctures, combined teas;
- massage (only after learning the right technique from a specialist);
- Gymnastics;
- a diet that excludes risk foods and alcohol;
- regular sex life;
- warm baths usually or with decoctions of soothing herbs;
- Rub;
- small enemas with decoctions of herbs.
It must be remembered that every man's body is unique and the symptoms can be different. Therefore, the selection of home remedies should also be based on competent handling of oneself. For example, some people need herbal teas, others only baths with infusions or microclysters are completely unnecessary for someone who does not suffer from intestinal obstruction.
home remedies
onion peel
The most popular remedy that everyone hears about is onion peel infusions. The composition of the peel contains a lot of organic acids, vitamins and trace elements necessary for men's health. A decoction from the peel also has an antibacterial effect and strengthens the immune system. It seems that everything can be treated with this decoction. But you don't have to drink this infusion in liters.
Preparation: Peel the onion from impurities and skins, put the clean skins in a pot of boiling water. You need to cook for 5-7 minutes. Then allow to cool and leave for about an hour.
After insisting, the infusion should be filtered from the peel and taken in a tablespoon three times a day. Treatment at home in this way should not exceed a period of more than a week. Therefore, there is no need to brew many bowls. You can repeat the course in a few months.
treasure
Introducing honey into your diet instead of sugar will have a beneficial effect on the body as a whole, but only if you are not allergic to it, have diabetes, and the honey itself is natural, without additives and dyes.
If you want to help yourself with the problem of prostatitis with honey, you can use it with tea, or as an addition to cottage cheese, or just to your favorite dishes. More than 200 grams of honey per day is not recommended.
Here, too, there is a special feature: honey cannot be heated. That is, if you plan to add it to tea, then the drink should cool to at least 45 degrees. When heated, this medicinal product loses its beneficial properties. If you rationally introduce honey into the diet, the work of the urinary system will soon improve, itching and irritation will disappear.
In addition to the usual tea with honey, you can brew a decoction that is as valuable as it is healthy with celandine and honey. To prepare you will need:
- 100 grams of dry celandine;
- 700 grams of boiling water;
- 500 grams of natural blossom honey.
Preparation: celandine must be boiled for 20-25 minutes and then left to infuse for about an hour or two. After the broth has cooled, strain through cheesecloth and stir in honey. You need to decoction 1 tablespoon three times a day for a month. However, you should only do this if you are sure that you do not need any medication at this time. Also, alcohol is strictly forbidden while taking this decoction. Store the infusion in an airtight jar in the refrigerator.
pumpkin seeds
Pumpkin seeds contain a lot of zinc in their composition, so the daily norm for a man is 30 seeds a day. Of course, this natural remedy should not be fried, only raw. You can eat seeds in a purified form daily or prepare medicinal "sweets".
For the preparation of sweets you will need 500 grams of peeled raw pumpkin seeds and 200 grams of honey. Twist the seeds in a blender or meat grinder and mix with honey. Form small balls the size of a nut and store in the fridge. You can eat up to 5 of these candies daily. The balls must be chewed thoroughly and for a long time (about 3 minutes) and always before meals.
Freshly squeezed juices
With prostatitis, freshly squeezed juices are allowed, however, not all fruits and berries are suitable for the prevention of the disease.The main products for making juices should be:
- Asparagus;
- beets;
- cucumbers;
- Carrot.
Fresh juices should be drunk in the amount of 0. 5 liters per day. Nevertheless, when adopting such a juice supplement for nutrition, it is better to consult a urologist, since it is not suitable for every man. By the way, it is desirable for every man to include asparagus in his diet, as it has a very beneficial effect on the prostate.
Exercises for chronic prostatitis
squats
The lower body should not experience pain or feel weak during the workout. These are clear signs of a disturbed blood supply in the pelvis. Start small with 10-15 squats and gradually increase the number. If you can do up to 100 squats at once, that's quite enough to maintain good blood flow and muscle tone on a daily basis. Also, this simple exercise will be very helpful in sexual relations.
The most effective exercises are the simplest deep squats. But their execution technique is very important. Squats should be performed in a position where the legs are wider than the shoulders, the squat should be slightly below knee height. Do not perform the exercise abruptly - it is better to slow down and pay attention to your breathing.
Kegel Exercises
Usually this exercise is heard by women, but it will also bring great benefits to a man with constant training and repetitions. To perform the Kegel exercise, you need a full bladder. When urinating, you should keep the stream short and keep emptying the bladder. Alternatively: drain – delay – drain – delay. The delay should be literally for a few seconds. Constant repetition improves blood flow to the prostate.
Also, the exercise can be performed simply by tensing the muscles without deflating. If you decide to start these exercises, do them small - 5-6 repetitions throughout the day. It is very good if the number of repetitions is brought up to 100 after constant training. This affects prostate health as well as sexual stamina.
anal muscle training
Anal muscle exercises are good for the prostate. To perform this exercise, you need to compress and decompress the sphincter. Not only can this exercise be done almost constantly, it is also invisible to others. But the benefits of this are very great - the prostate becomes noma, and there is also prevention of hemorrhoids and prolapse of lumps from the rectum, and there is also recovery after this disease.
yoga
The benefits of yoga stem from the fact that quiet exercises engage all the muscles of the body, even those deep within.
Many men are embarrassed to go to yoga because they think the sport is feminine - it's a deep delusion and a stagnant stereotype. So, if you want to restore your health, put aside these prejudices and practice yoga at home, at least after video lessons.
The following postures from Hatha Yoga are particularly noteworthy:
- inverted asanas that relieve the veins in the plexuses of the prostate;
- poses that affect the hip joints;
- abdominal exercises.
morning gymnastics
No wonder we started every physical education lesson at school with simple exercises and every parent considered it their duty to start their offspring with a light movement. Perhaps many have done this subconsciously, but any of these simple exercises can either relieve chronic prostatitis or prevent its occurrence in men of any age.
- slow squats, half squats;
- raising the legs at the knees as high as possible;
- squeeze a ball or pillow with your knees while standing and sitting;
- "Birch", when fixing the lower back, you need to dwell in the position of the leg up for 10-15 seconds;
- Squats with alternating leg withdrawals in different directions.
Desired courses in the pool, a smooth run as well as walk. Heavy weight training in gyms or at home is prohibited.
prostate massage
Massage at home can only be done after taking a course from a qualified specialist, because if you decide to do a massage without basic knowledge, you can really hurt yourself. Massage helps:
- when restoring the tone of the glands;
- for the outflow of male secretions;
- to ensure normal blood flow;
- improves the effectiveness of the medication taken.
There are contraindications to self-massage. So, massage is contraindicated in acute form of prostatitis, prostate cancer or stones in the organ.
For the prevention and treatment of prostatitis at home you will need:
- Follow the doctor's recommendations.
- Do not self-medicate with chronic prostatitis and its acute form, it is allowed only for prevention or as an accompanying factor.
- If you are "you" with sports, then start with light therapeutic exercises at home: squats, tilts, light jogs. Start training in the pool.
- Strengthen your immune system, move more.
- Decoctions and infusions must be prepared from proven raw materials and according to a few simple rules.
- Follow the rules for taking decoctions.
