Prostatitis develops after forty and sometimes thirty years, when the man is most active at work and in the family, and the reduction of potency can significantly undermine his self-esteem not only on the love front, but in all areas of life. Prostatitis itself is not contagious, but one of the reasons for it is that sexually transmitted infections can also spread to the patient's sexual partners.
Main reasons
There are several factors that contribute to the development of prostatitis and the subsequent reduction in potency:
- Stagnation in the prostate gland. This is one of the main causes of prostatitis. Irregular or indiscriminate sex life contributes to the stagnation of the secret, and a sedentary lifestyle, lack of physical activity cause blood stasis. The result of both processes is the same - swelling of the prostate gland, increased pressure in it and violation of its functions (secretion and regulation of ejaculation).
- Uncomfortable temperature conditions of the external genitalia. Overheating and hypothermia adversely 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 danger of disorderly sexual life. Joining an infection against the background of congestion in the prostate leads to inflammation, sometimes with serious consequences.
Prevention measures
Prevention of prostatitis in men should begin in childhood with the formation of hygiene skills in boys, the ability to choose the right underwear and dress according to the weather. These are the main points that will allow you to be less susceptible to harmful effects on the prostate in the future.
In young men and older men, the prevention of prostatitis consists of regular sex, preferably with the same partner, exercise and a healthy diet. It is important to get tested regularly for sexually transmitted infections and to treat them in time, especially if the man often has unprotected sex. It should not be protected by the method of interrupted sexual intercourse - this leads to stagnation of prostate secretion, in addition, 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 a chair. The essence of these exercises is to tense and relax different muscle groups of the perineum, thus eliminating blood stasis in the prostate gland and other organs of the pelvis. Also useful are hiking, running, squats, sports games (football, volleyball, basketball), in winter - skiing and skating.
Potency-enhancing drugs, such as the well-known Viagra, can also be considered to prevent prostatitis in men, but only if the dosage is strictly adhered to. Overdose, as well as the use of Viagra without subsequent sexual intercourse, on the contrary, leads to stagnation of prostate secretion and increases the risk of prostatitis. The drugs used in our country for the prevention of prostatitis and increase of potency have the status of food supplements, ie they are not considered drugs and are not subject to certification. These include such local products as Men Support and Prost Plus, American drugs - So Palmetto and Pro Formula and many others.
To prevent acute prostatitis from becoming chronic, it is important to treat sexually transmitted infections in a timely and complete manner, to avoid unprotected sexual contact with casual partners, and to treat acute prostatitis in a timely manner.
Treatment
When diagnosing prostatitis, it is necessary to treat as soon as possible, as acute prostatitis, which is not cured in time, tends to become chronic. To do this, use drugs that are available in tablets. In addition, rectal suppositories are used - relieve inflammation in acute prostatitis or exacerbation of chronic, reduce swelling of the prostate due to obstruction, anesthetize the surrounding tissues and contribute to the fastest delivery of the active substance in the prostate through the rectal wall. You can take them as prescribed by a doctor, even at home.
Transrectal prostate massage is also used to treat and prevent prostatitis. The simplest method is digital, when the index or middle finger is inserted into the rectum in a glove lubricated with a special water-based lubricant, the lower lobe of the prostate is determined by touch and apply several intense pressure on it. The upper parts of the gland are not affected during the massage. Due to the inconvenience of the finger method and the associated aversion, there are simulators for prostate massage.
Exercises for the prevention of prostatitis do not lose their value, they speed up the healing process, and also prevent chronic prostatitis, which can occur in acute prostatitis, which is not completely cured.
Treatment for prostatitis at home includes a healthy diet - high-fiber vegetables, lean meat and fish, plenty of fluids, limiting alcohol, especially beer. Moderate physical activity and regular sexual activity are desirable. Folk remedies are used: resorption of balls of pumpkin seeds and honey, elderberry juice, decoctions of hazelnut leaves and bark, chestnut shells. However, the recommendations described are the prevention of prostatitis in men rather than 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 will not give an immediate effect, so it is important to use them together and best - according to the doctor's instructions.
