Prostatitis develops after forty, sometimes thirty years, when a man is most active in the workplace and family, and a decrease in potency can significantly undermine self-confidence, not only on the love front, but in all areas of life. Prostatitis itself is not contagious, but one reason is that sexually transmitted infections can spread to a patient’s sexual partners.
Main reason
Several factors contribute to the development of prostatitis and the resulting loss of potency:
- Stagnation in the prostate gland. This is one of the main causes of prostatitis. An irregular or gentle sex life contributes to the stagnation of the secret, and a sedentary lifestyle and a lack of physical activity cause blood clots. The results of both processes are the same - swelling of the prostate gland, increased pressure and violation of its functions (production of secretions and regulation of ejaculation).
- Unpleasant temperature conditions of the external genitalia. Overheating and hypothermia are detrimental to men’s health, and tight underwear and uncomfortable pants also have a detrimental effect on potency. All this reduces the viability of the sperm.
- Sexually transmitted infections. This is another danger to the clutter of sex. The infection leads to inflammation in the background of prostate congestion, which sometimes has serious consequences.
Preventive measures
In men, the prevention of prostatitis should begin in childhood by developing boys ’hygienic skills, the ability to choose appropriate underwear and weather-appropriate clothing. These are the main points that will allow you to be less sensitive to the harmful effects of the prostate in the future.
Prevention of prostatitis in young men and adult men consists of regular sex life, preferably with the same partner, physical exercise, and a healthy diet. It is important to investigate and treat regular sexually transmitted infections in a timely manner, especially if the man often lives together unprotected. It should not be protected by interrupted intercourse - this leads to stagnation of prostate secretion, and it is far from being the most reliable method of contraception.
There are special exercises to prevent prostatitis, these are quite simple, and most of them can be done without getting up from a chair. The essence of these exercises is to strain and relax the various muscle groups in the barrier, thereby eliminating blood clots in the prostate gland and other organs of the pelvis. Hiking, running, squatting, sports games (soccer, volleyball, basketball) are also useful, 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 with strict adherence to dosing. On the contrary, overdose and use of Viagra without subsequent sexual contact leads to stagnation of prostate secretion and increases the risk of prostatitis. In Hungary, drugs used for the prevention of prostatitis and for increasing potency have the status of dietary supplements, ie they do not qualify as drugs and are not certified. These include domestic products such as Men Support and Prost Plus, American drugs - So Palmetto and Pro Formula, and many others.
In order to prevent acute prostatitis from becoming chronic, it is important to cure sexually transmitted infections in a timely and complete manner, to avoid unprotected sexual contact with accidental partners, and to treat acute prostatitis in a timely manner.
Treatment
If prostatitis is diagnosed, treatment is needed as soon as possible because acute prostatitis that has not healed in time tends to become chronic. To do this, use the medicines available in tablets. In addition, rectal suppositories are used - they relieve inflammation in acute prostatitis or chronic exacerbation, reduce swelling of the prostate due to congestion, anesthetize the surrounding tissues and contribute to the fastest delivery of the active substance to the prostate through the prostate wall. the rectum. You can take them as prescribed by your doctor, even at home.
Transrectal prostate massage is also used to treat and prevent prostatitis. The simplest method is digital, in which a glove smeared with a special water-based lubricant is used to insert the index or middle finger into the rectum, to feel the lower lobe of the prostate by touch, and to apply more intense pressure to it. The upper parts of the gland are not affected during the massage. Due to the inconvenience of the finger method and the disgust that comes with it, there are simulators for prostate massage.
Do not lose their value and practices to prevent prostatitis, speed up the process of treatment, and at the same time prevent chronic prostatitis, which can occur in the case of acute prostatitis that is not completely cured.
Home treatment for prostatitis includes a healthy diet - fiber-rich vegetables, lean meat and fish, plenty of fluids, and restrictions on alcohol, especially beer. Moderate physical activity and regular sexual activity are desirable. Folk remedies are used: sucking balls from pumpkin seeds and honey, elderberry, hazelnut leaf and bark decoction, chestnut peel. However, the recommendations described are more likely to prevent prostatitis in men than to treat it. Folk methods make it possible to maintain health and well-being for a longer period of time.
All methods of preventing and treating prostatitis work together, and there is no immediate effect of any treatment, so it is important that it is used together and, best of all, as directed by your doctor.
