Anatomy has long been forgotten by the time when knowledge from a textbook should be useful in personal experience. Discomfort in one's body can start, apparently, from "nowhere". Once you have read the internet and made your own misdiagnosis, you can start your problem quite powerfully and produce new ones. The prostate is an organ found exclusively in the male half of the population. Unfortunately, prostatitis occurs in men very often, especially in those whose age has passed the fifth decade.
Causes
There are many reasons for prostatitis and even one of them can lead to serious violations in the work of the gland.
- Irregular sex life or its complete absence. Irregularity of sexual intercourse is the cause of stagnant processes in the prostate gland, as it is this gland that is responsible for erection, ejaculation;
- Regular or once hypothermia can contribute to inflammation in the prostate gland, reduce its functionality, lead to congestion and chronic prostate;
- Sexually transmitted infections in men who do not have prostate, as well as regular infection, lead to inflammation and infection of the glands, and in those who have prostate in its initial or chronic form, exacerbate the process;
- A sedentary or inactive lifestyle automatically leads to prostate dysfunction and stagnant processes;
- Alcohol use and alcoholism is a powerful provocative factor in the occurrence of gland dysfunction problems;
- 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, as well as the prostate gland. Also, such prohibitive products include an excessive amount of spices, seasonings and marinades. Therefore, malnutrition leads to prostate inflammation on a chronic level;
- Stress, nervous breakdowns and tension, psychological instability to irritating factors - this factor can cause any disease, but also worsen existing ones. As they say, all wounds are from nerves;
- Chronic or experienced concomitant diseases. Any experienced disease greatly lowers immunity, and if not strengthened, then you can easily "catch" the chronic form of the disease;
- Outbreaks of chronic infections, which, with prolonged existence without treatment, lead to a worsening of the course of prostatitis;
- A sedentary lifestyle is a scourge for those who are inactive and do not accept sports. This is the most common cause of prostatitis. Impaired venous circulation, which leads to problems in the prostate gland;
- Disorders of blood circulation in the pelvis. There can be many reasons for impaired blood flow - from banal constipation to hernias and tight nerve endings in the joints. Reduced blood flow causes overload and chronic inflammation in the gland.
Home treatment
It is quite difficult to cure prostate inflammation at home, but it is possible to prevent its occurrence in order to avoid a rather serious course of treatment with antibiotics and other accompanying medications 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 popular old-fashioned methods is excluded. But it's worth understanding that neither folk remedies nor stories from a distant relative about a "wonderful cure" will help unless you take the problem very seriously and with a competent patient approach. Be prepared for the fact that home treatment is just an accompanying method for the smallest fraction in order to speed up the main treatment process. As usual, treatment exclusively at home does not lead to positive results, but joint therapy is quite possible. These methods include:
- herbal tinctures, combined teas;
- massage (only after you have studied the proper technique from a specialist);
- gymnastics;
- a diet that excludes dangerous foods and alcohol;
- regular sex life;
- ordinary warm baths or decoctions of soothing herbs;
- friction;
- small enemas with herbal decoction.
It should be remembered that each person'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 oneself. For example, one man needs herbal teas, while another needs only baths with infusions, or microclimate is completely unnecessary for someone who does not suffer from intestinal blockage.
Folk remedies
onion peel
The most popular medicine that everyone hears about is the infusions in the onion peel. The composition of the bark contains many organic acids, vitamins, trace elements that are needed for men's health. A decoction of the peel also has an antibacterial effect, 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.

After insisting, the infusion should be filtered from the peel and taken in a tablespoon 3 times a day. Home treatment in this way should not exceed a period of more than a week. Therefore, it is not necessary to create too much bark. You can repeat the course after a few months.
Dear
Introducing honey into your diet instead of sugar will have a beneficial effect on the whole body as a whole, 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 prostatitis problem, 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 another feature here: honey can not be heated. This means, if you want to add it to tea, then the drink should be cooled to at least 45 degrees. When heated, this healing product loses its beneficial properties. If you put honey in the diet rationally, then the work of the urinary system will soon improve, the itching and irritation will go away.
In addition to the usual tea with honey, you can create 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: Celandine should be boiled for 20-25 minutes, then left to inject for about an hour or two. Once the soup has cooled, drain with cheesecloth and mix 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 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 rate for a male is 30 seeds per day. Of course, this natural remedy should not be fried, but be raw. The seeds can be eaten daily in purified form, or you can prepare medicinal "sweets".
To prepare the desserts, you will need 500 grams of raw peeled pumpkin seeds and 200 grams of honey. Twist the seeds in a blender or meat grinder and mix with the honey. Make balls as small as a walnut and store them in the refrigerator. You can eat up to 5 of these candies every day. The balls should be chewed thoroughly and for a long time (about 3 minutes) and always before eating.
Freshly squeezed juices
With prostate, freshly squeezed juices are allowed, but not all fruits and berries are suitable for disease prevention.The main products for the production of liquids should be:
- asparagus;
- beets;
- cucumber;
- carrots.
Fresh juices should be drunk in an amount of 0. 5 liters per day. However, with the approval of such a fluid supplement in food, 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 it has a very positive effect on the prostate gland.
Exercises for chronic prostatitis
Squats
The lower body should not feel pain or feel weak during exercise. These are clear signs of impaired blood supply to the pelvis. Start small with 10-15 squats, gradually increase the number. If you can do up to 100 sessions at a time, then that is enough to maintain good blood circulation and muscle tone every day. Also, this simple exercise will help a lot in sexual intercourse.
The most effective exercises are simpler deep squats. But the technique of their execution is very important. Squats should be done in the position of the legs wider than the shoulders, the squat should be slightly below the level of the knees. Do not do the exercise suddenly - it is better to slow down, watch your breathing.
Kegel Exercises
Usually this exercise is heard by women, but will bring great benefits to a man with constant training and repetition. To perform the Kegel exercise, you need a full bladder. While urinating, you should hold the plane for a while and continue to empty the bladder. Alternative: emptying - delay - emptying - delay. The delay should be done literally for a few seconds. Continuous repetitions improve blood circulation to the prostate.
Also, the exercise can be performed simply by stretching 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 continuous exercise goes to 100. This will affect the health of the prostate gland as well as sexual stamina.
Anal muscle exercise
Exercises for the anus muscles are beneficial for the prostate gland. To perform this exercise, you need to compress and decompress the sphincter. Not only can this exercise be done almost constantly, but it is also invisible to others. But its benefits are enormous - the prostate gland comes to noma, and there is also prevention from hemorrhoids and prolapse of joints from the rectum, and there is also a cure after this disease.
Yoga
The benefits of yoga are for the fact that relaxed 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 the sport to be female - this is a profound deception and a stagnant stereotype. Therefore, if you want to restore your health, dispel these prejudices and practice yoga at least according to the video tutorials at home.
Special emphasis should be given to the following attitudes from hatha yoga:
- inverted asanas, which will discharge veins into the plexuses of the prostate gland;
- poses involving the hip joints;
- abdominal exercises.
