Anatomy has long been forgotten, by which time knowledge from the school textbook can come in handy in personal experiences. The discomfort in your own body seems to start out of "nothing. " After reading the internet and making a bad diagnosis on your own, you can start the problem quite strongly and produce new ones. The prostate is an organ that is exclusively for the male population. Unfortunately, prostatitis is very common in men, especially those who are over the age of five.
Cause
There are many causes of prostatitis, and even one can lead to severe damage to the work of the gland.
- Irregular or complete absence of sex life. Irregular sexual intercourse is the cause of stagnant processes in the prostate, as this gland is responsible for erection, ejaculation;
- Regular or single hypothermia can contribute to prostatitis, reduce its functionality, and can lead to congestion and chronic prostatitis;
- Sexually transmitted infections in men without prostatitis, as well as regular infections, lead to inflammation and infection of the glands, and in whom the prostatitis is initial or chronic, exacerbating the process;
- A sedentary or inactive lifestyle automatically leads to prostate dysfunction and stagnant processes;
- Alcohol consumption and alcoholism are powerful provoking factors in glandular dysfunction;
- Unbalanced diet - the use of spicy, salty, smoked foods leads not only to irritation of the gastrointestinal tract, but also of the mucous membranes of the urinary tract and prostate. In addition, such stop products contain excessive amounts of spices, condiments and marinades. Accordingly, malnutrition leads to chronic inflammation of the prostate;
- Stress, nervous breakdowns and tension, psychic instability versus irritating factors - this factor can cause any illness but can also exacerbate existing ones. As they say, every wound is from a nerve;
- Concomitant chronic or experienced diseases. Any disease experienced greatly reduces immunity, and if it does not get worse, it can easily "catch" the chronic form of the disease;
- Focuses of chronic infections that lead to worsening of the course of prostatitis without long-term treatment;
- A sedentary lifestyle is a scourge for the inactive who do not accept sport. This is the most common cause of prostatitis. Violation of venous circulation leading to problems with the prostate gland;
- Circulatory disorders in the pool. Impaired blood flow can have many causes - from banal constipation to herniation and pinching of the nerve endings in the joints. Decreased blood flow causes congestion and chronic inflammation in the gland.
Treatment at home
Prostatitis is quite difficult to cure at home, but it can be prevented from occurring in order to avoid a rather serious cure with antibiotics prescribed by a urologist and other concomitant medications.
The use of folk remedies is possible only if you want to prevent and avoid the disease. In acute and chronic prostatitis, treatment with folk old-fashioned methods is excluded. But it’s worth understanding that neither folk remedies nor distant relatives ’stories of" miraculous healing "will help if you don’t take the problem very seriously and with a knowledgeable patient approach. As usual, treatment at home alone does not lead to a positive result, but joint therapy is completely possible. These methods are as follows:
- herbal tinctures, combined teas;
- massage (only after studying the appropriate technique by a specialist);
- gymnastics;
- a diet that excludes risky foods and alcohol;
- regular sex life;
- hot baths with a decoction of ordinary or soothing herbs;
- rubbing;
- small enemas with herbal broths.
It should be borne in mind that every man’s body is unique and that symptoms can be different, so the choice of home remedies should also be built on a competent approach to yourself. For example, one person needs herbal teas while another only needs an infusion bath, or a microclism is completely unnecessary for someone who does not suffer from intestinal obstruction.
Folk remedies
onion peel
The most popular cure everyone hears about is infusions on the peel. The composition of the shell contains many organic acids, vitamins and trace elements, which are necessary for the health of men. The decoction made from the shell also has an antibacterial effect, strengthening the immune system. Everything seems to be handled with this potion. But this infusion should not be drunk in liters.
Preparation: Peel the onion from the dirt and peel, place the clean peel in a pot of boiling water. Boil for 5-7 minutes. It is then allowed to cool and fermented for about an hour.
After adherence, the infusion should be filtered out of the shell and one tablespoon three times daily. Treatment at home in this way should not exceed a period of more than one week. Therefore, it is not necessary to cook many shells. You can repeat the course in a few months.
Honey
If we add honey to our diet instead of sugar, it will have a beneficial effect on the whole body, but only if you are not allergic to it, you are diabetic 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 as a supplement for tea or cottage cheese or just for your favorite foods. Consuming more than 200 grams of honey per day is not recommended.
There is also a feature here: honey cannot be heated. That is, if you want to add it to tea, the drink must cool to at least 45 degrees. When heated, this healing product loses its beneficial properties. If you rationally introduce honey into your diet, your urinary system will soon improve and your itching and irritation will go away.
In addition to the usual honey tea, you can make an equally valuable and healthy decoction with celandine and honey. To prepare it you will need:
- 100 grams of dry celandine;
- 700 grams of boiling water;
- 500 grams of natural flower honey.
Preparation: Boil the celandine for 20-25 minutes and then act for an hour or two. After the broth has cooled, strain through a cheese cloth and stir in the honey. Use three tablespoons of decoction three times a day for a month. However, you should only do this if you are sure you do not need medication at this time. In addition, it is strictly forbidden to consume alcohol while taking the potion. Store the infusion in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Pumpkin seeds
Pumpkin seeds contain a lot of zinc in their composition, so a man’s daily norm is 30 seeds a day. Of course, this natural medicine should not be baked, only raw. You can consume seeds in purified form daily or make medicinal "sweets. "
You will need 500 grams of peeled raw pumpkin seeds and 200 grams of honey to make the sweets. Squeeze the seeds in a blender or meat grinder and mix with honey. Nuts into small balls are formed from it and stored in a refrigerator. You can eat up to 5 pieces of this candy a day. The balls should be chewed thoroughly and for a long time (about 3 minutes) and always before meals.
Freshly squeezed juices
In case of prostatitis, freshly squeezed juices are allowed, but not all fruits and berries are suitable for preventing the disease.The main products for making juices are:
- asparagus;
- sugar beet;
- cucumber;
- carrot.
Fresh juices should be drunk in a volume of 0. 5 liters per day. However, when adopting such a juice supplement, it is better to consult a urologist as it is not suitable for all men. Otherwise, it is desirable for all men to include asparagus in their diet as it has a very positive effect on the prostate gland.
Exercises for chronic prostatitis
Squat
The lower body should not feel pain or weakness during exercise. These are clear signs of damage to the blood supply to the pool. Start small with 10-15 squats, gradually increasing the number. If you can do up to 100 squats at a time, that’s enough to maintain good blood circulation and muscle tone daily. In addition, this simple practice is very helpful in sexual relationships.
The most effective exercises are the simplest deep squats. But their execution technique is very important. Squats should be done with legs wider than the shoulders, squats should be slightly below knee level. Do not do the exercise suddenly - it is better to slow down, watch your breathing.
Kegel exercises
This practice is usually heard by women, but with constant training and repetition, there are great benefits for a man as well. A complete bladder is required to perform the Kegel exercise. When urinating, hold the nozzle briefly and continue to empty the bladder. Alternative: emptying - delay - emptying - delay. The delay should be taken for literally a few seconds. Constant repetitions improve prostate blood circulation.
In addition, the exercise can be done simply by stretching the muscles without emptying. If you decide to start these exercises, start them small - 5-6 reps during the day. It is very good to increase the number of repetitions to 100 after a constant workout. This affects the health of the prostate as well as sexual stamina.
Anal muscle exercise
Exercises that develop anal muscles have a beneficial effect on the prostate gland. To perform this exercise, the sphincter must be compressed and squeezed. Not only is this exercise almost continuous, it is invisible to others. But the benefits are great - the prostate gland goes into noma and the prolapse of hemorrhoids and rectal nodes, as well as recovery from the disease, can be prevented.
Yoga
The benefits of yoga are due to the fact that quiet practices involve all the muscles in the body, even those that are deep inside.
Many men are ashamed of yoga because they consider this sport feminine - it is a deep delusion and a stagnant stereotype. Therefore, if you want to restore your health, throw away these prejudices and practice yoga at least according to the video lessons at home.
Particular emphasis should be placed on the following postures from hatha yoga:
- reverse asanas that empty the veins in the plexuses of the prostate gland;
- poses affecting the hip joints;
- abdominal exercises.
morning exercises
No wonder we started all physical education at school with simple exercises and it was the duty of every parent to have their offspring start their day with a light movement. Perhaps many have done this on a subconscious level, but all of these simple exercises can either alleviate chronic prostatitis or prevent it from occurring in men of any age.
- slow squatting, half squatting;
- raising the legs to the knees as high as possible;
- squeezing a ball or pillow with the knee in a standing and sitting position;
- "birch", when the lower back is fixed, it must remain on the upper leg for 10 to 15 seconds;
- squats with alternating leg pulls in different directions.
Desirable hours in the pool, quiet running and walking. Heavy weight training is prohibited in gyms or at home.
Prostate massage
Home massage can only be done after a course with a qualified professional, as if you want to massage without the basics, you can be very injured. Massage helps:
- when restoring gland tone;
- for the outflow of male secretions;
- ensuring normal blood flow;
- improves the effectiveness of conventional drugs.
Self-massage has contraindications. So massage is contraindicated for prostatitis, prostate cancer or stones in the body.
