Anatomy has long been forgotten since the time when school textbook knowledge should be useful for personal experience. Discomfort in your own body can start, it seems, from "nowhere". After reading the Internet and misdiagnosis, you can start your problem quite strongly and create new ones. The prostate is an organ that occurs exclusively in the male half of the populationUnfortunately, prostatitis is very common in men, especially those over the age of five.
Reasons
The causes of prostatitis are many and even one of them can lead to severe disorders of the gland.
- Irregular sex life or its complete absence. Irregular sexual intercourse is a cause of stagnant processes in the prostate gland, because it is this gland that is responsible for erection, ejaculation;
- Regular or one-time hypothermia can contribute to inflammation in the prostate gland, reduce its functionality, lead to congestion and chronic prostatitis;
- Sexually transmitted infections in men who do not have prostatitis, as well as regular infection, lead to inflammation and infection of the glands, and in those who have prostatitis in its initial or chronic form, to a worsening of the process;
- Sedentary or inactive lifestyle automatically leads to prostate dysfunction and stagnant processes;
- Alcohol use and alcoholism is a powerful provoking factor for the appearance of problems with glandular dysfunction;
- Unbalanced diet - the use of spicy, salty, smoked foods leads to irritation of the mucous membranes not only of the gastrointestinal tract, but also of the urinary tract and prostate. Also, such stop products include excessive amounts of spices, condiments and marinades. Accordingly, malnutrition leads to chronic inflammation of the prostate;
- Stress, nervous breakdowns and tension, psychological instability to irritating factors - this factor can cause all sorts of diseases, but also worsen existing ones. As the saying goes, all wounds are from nerves;
- Concomitant chronic or surviving diseases. Any disease experienced significantly reduces immunity, and if it does not increase, then you can easily "catch" the chronic form of the disease;
- Outbreaks appear to be exacerbated during chronic treatment without long-term treatment;
- Sedentary lifestyle is a scourge for those who are not active and do not accept sports. This is the most common cause of prostatitis. Impaired venous circulation, leading to prostate problems;
- Disorders of blood circulation in the pelvis. There can be many reasons for impaired blood flow - from banal constipation to hernias and pinching of nerve endings in the joint. Reduced blood flow causes congestion and chronic inflammation in the gland.
Treatment at home
It is quite difficult to treat inflammation of the prostate at home, but it is possible to prevent its occurrence in order to avoid a very serious course of 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. In acute form and chronic prostatitis treatment with folk old-fashioned methods is excluded. But it is worth realizing that neither folk remedies nor stories from a distant relative about "miraculous recovery" will help you if you do not take the problem very seriously and with a competent patient approach. Be prepared for the fact that home treatment is only concomitantmethod for the smallest fraction to speed up the main healing process. As usual, exclusively home treatment does not lead to positive results, but joint therapy is quite possible. These methods include:
- herbal tinctures, combined teas;
- massage (only after learning the proper technique from a specialist);
- Gymnastics;
- a diet that excludes risky foods and alcohol;
- regular sex life;
- warm baths with ordinary or decoctions of soothing herbs;
- friction;
- small enemas with decoctions of herbs.
It should be remembered that every man's body is unique and the symptoms may be different, so the choice of home remedies should also be based on a competent approach to yourself. For example, one man needs herbal teas and another only needs infusion baths or microclysters are completely unnecessary for someone who does not suffer from intestinal obstruction.
Folk remedies
onion peel
The most popular remedy that everyone hears about is infusions on onion peels. The composition of the shell contains many organic acids, vitamins, trace elements that are necessary for men's health. The decoction of the peel also has antibacterial action, strengthens the immune system. It seems that everything can be treated with this decoction. But you do not need to drink this infusion in liters.
Preparation: Peel the onion from the dirt and flakes, put the clean flakes in a pot of boiling water. It should be boiled for 5-7 minutes. Then leave to cool and insist for about an hour.
After insisting, the infusion should be filtered from the shell and taken on a tablespoon 3 times a day. Treatment at home in this way should not exceed a period of more than a week. Therefore, it is not necessary to boil a lot of flakes. You can repeat the course in a few months.
Honey
Introducing honey into your diet instead of sugar will have a beneficial effect on the whole body, but only if you are not allergic to it, you have diabetes and honey itself is natural without additives and dyes.
If you want to help yourself with honey in the problem of prostatitis, then you can use it with tea or as a supplement to cottage cheese or just your favorite dishes. More than 200 grams of honey per day is not recommended.
There is one peculiarity here: honey cannot be heated. That is, if you want to add it to tea, then the drink should be cooled to at least 45 degrees. When heated, this medicinal product loses its useful properties. If you introduce honey in the diet rationally, then the work of the urinary system will soon improve, itching and irritation will disappear.
In addition to the usual tea with honey, you can prepare an equally valuable and healthy decoction of celandine and honey. To prepare it you will need:
- 100 grams of dried celandine;
- 700 grams of boiling water;
- 500 grams of natural flower honey.
Preparation: celandine should be boiled for 20-25 minutes, then leave to infuse for about an hour or two. Once the broth has cooled, strain through cheesecloth and stir with honey. You should use a decoction of 1 tablespoon three times a day for a month. But you should only do this when you are sure that you will not need medication at the moment. 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 per day. Of course, this natural remedy should not be fried, but only raw. You can eat seeds in purified form daily or you can prepare healing "cakes".
To make cakes, you will need 500 grams of peeled raw pumpkin seeds and 200 grams of honey. Rotate the seeds in a blender or meat grinder and mix with honey. Make small balls the size of a walnut and store them in the refrigerator. You can eat up to 5 of these candies a day. The balls should be chewed thoroughly and for a long time (about 3 minutes) and always before eating.
Freshly squeezed juices
In prostatitis, freshly squeezed juices are allowed, but not all fruits and berries are suitable for preventing the disease.The main products for making juices should be:
- asparagus;
- beets;
- cucumbers;
- carrots.
Fresh juices should be drunk in an amount of 0, 5 liters per day. However, with the intake of such a juice supplement to the diet, it is better to consult a urologist, as it is not suitable for every man. By the way, it is desirable for every man to include asparagus in his diet, as they have a very positive effect on the prostate gland.
Exercise for chronic prostatitis
Squat
The lower body should not experience pain or weakness during exercise. These are clear signs of impaired pelvic blood supply. Start small with 10-15 squats, gradually increasing the number. If you can do up to 100 squats at a time, this is enough to maintain good blood circulation and muscle tone every day. Also, this simple exercise will help a lot in sexual relations.
The most effective exercises are the simplest deep squats. But their technique is very important. Squats should be done in a leg position wider than the shoulders, and the squat should be slightly below knee level. Do not perform the exercise abruptly - it is better to slow down, watch your breathing.
Kegel exercises
Usually this exercise is heard by women, but it will also bring great benefits to the man with constant training and repetition. To perform the Kegel exercise, you need a full bladder. When urinating, you should hold the stream briefly and continue to empty your bladder. Alternatively: empty - slow - empty - slow. The delay should be done in literally a few seconds. Constant repetitions improve blood circulation in the prostate.
Also, the exercise can be performed simply by tensing the muscles without emptying. If you decide to start these exercises, then start doing them small - 5-6 repetitions during the day. It is very good if the number of repetitions after regular training is reduced to 100. This will affect the health of the prostate gland, as well as sexual endurance.
Exercise for anal muscles
Exercises for the anal muscles are good for the prostate gland. To perform this exercise, you need to compress and decompress the sphincter. This exercise can not only be done almost constantly, but is invisible to others. But the benefits of it are very great - the prostate gland reaches the nom, and there is prevention of hemorrhoids and prolapse of rectal nodes, as well as recovery after this disease.
yoga
The benefits of yoga are due to the fact that quiet exercises involve all the muscles of the body, even those that are deep inside.
Many men are ashamed to go to yoga because they consider this sport feminine - it is a profound delusion and a stalemate. Therefore, if you want to restore your health, get rid of these prejudices and practice yoga at least according to video lessons at home.
Particular emphasis should be placed on the following hatha yoga poses:
- inverted asanas that will unload the veins in the plexuses of the prostate gland;
- postures that involve the hips;
- exercises for belly.
morning exercises
No wonder we started every physical education at school with simple exercises and each parent considered it his duty to make his child start his day with light exercise. Many may have done this on a subconscious level, but each of these simple exercises can either alleviate chronic prostatitis or prevent it from occurring in men of all ages.
- slow squats, half squats;
- raising the legs to the knees as high as possible;
- squeezing a ball or pillow with your knees in an upright and sitting position;
- "birch", when you fix the lower back, you need to hold for 10-15 seconds in the position of the legs above;
- squats with alternate retraction of the legs in different directions.
Desired classes in the pool, quiet running, and walking. Heavy weight training in gyms or at home is prohibited.
Prostate massage
Massage at home can be done only after a course with a qualified specialist, because if you want to do a massage without basic knowledge, you can really get hurt. Massage helps:
- in restoring the tone of the gland;
- for leakage of male secretions;
- to ensure normal blood flow;
- improves the effectiveness of medications taken.
There are contraindications to self-massage. So massage is contraindicated in acute prostatitis, prostate cancer or stones in the body.

- Follow your doctor's recommendations.
- Do not self-medicate with chronic prostatitis and its acute form, it is allowed only for prevention or as a concomitant factor.
