The most ugly disease for men is not a heart attack or stroke, but prostatitis. You just can not do the most ordinary thing normally - go to the toilet. When you try to urinate, everything hurts you, the urine comes out point by point, forcing you to stay in the bathroom for a long time and bump into it again for only five minutes. And also groin, fever and chills. . . Quite nice.
To understand how to prevent the development of the disease and what prevention exists for prostatitis, we talked to experts in this field.
How to start preventing prostatitis
Protect yourself from infections
The main cause of prostatitis is infection. Therefore, it is very important to prevent germs from entering the prostate.
Two types of germs can enter the prostate:
- causative agents of venereal diseases;
- coli.
In the first case, prevention of prostatitis is understandable. No matter how beautiful the girl is and no matter how much she wants to, without a condom - no, no! And not just from prostatitis will protect, if that.
In the latter case, E. coli can enter your precious penis both from dirty hands that are not washed after the toilet, and during anal sex without a condom. Yes, even with my wife. Therefore, hygiene is everything! Wash your hands, wash your cock, use a condom.

Due to hypothermia, immunity drops and blood stagnates in the pelvic organs. The same E. coli that is normally present in our body can multiply rapidly and enter the wrong place if frozen. Stagnant blood causes swelling of organs, including the prostate. As a result, urine deteriorates and it is easier for germs to attach and multiply.
To prevent prostatitis, it is important to avoid major risk factors. It is important not to get too cold and to carefully evaluate your strength during hardening. With acute hypothermia, the body may not be able to resist infections, which it has successfully coped with before, experts explain.
Move more!
Nowadays, when most of the work we sit in the office, then go sitting in the car and then take a comfortable position on our favorite sofa, the body lacks movement catastrophically! There is no movement - blood stagnation begins, the pelvic organs are compressed and work worse.
"The best prevention of prostatitis is to lead a more active lifestyle, " experts advise. Walk to lunch, warm up in the office after long meetings, and as you write reports, climb the stairs instead of taking the elevator. Use every opportunity to walk!
Have sex regularly
Regular sex is an excellent prevention of prostatitis. It is the key to good long-term work of the prostate gland. During sex, blood circulation increases strongly, metabolic processes are better. Again, the prostate is actively secreting its fluid, which is the liquid part of the sperm. No stagnation and consequently no chance for the infection to gain ground. Masturbation in this regard is worse, with it there is no active movement of the pelvis and there is not such a strong increase in blood circulation.
But remember about safety, sexually transmitted infections. Protect yourself!
Do not abuse alcohol
First, alcohol itself lowers the immune system and makes it harder for the body to fight infections. Second, alcohol dilates blood vessels, and this leads to stagnation and various edemas, of which we have already spoken. Third, from drunk you can do feats. And there is already up to unprotected sex not far from an unknown woman and falling asleep in an incomprehensible place on a cold floor.
Treat chronic diseases
With hypothermia or a large amount of alcohol drunk, the infection can enter the prostate and other organs from the internal foci of infection. For example, from caries teeth. The focus may also be chronic untreated sinusitis, sinusitis, otitis media, bronchitis or sore throat. It will look, where is the throat and where is the prostate, but here. Therefore, for the prevention of prostatitis and other diseases, it is necessary to treat the foci of chronic infection.
Medications for prostatitis
For treatment, a whole range of prostate medications is used:
- antibiotics, as the main cause of prostatitis is an infection, it is treated first;
- anti-inflammatory and sedative (scientifically "non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs"), these drugs lower the temperature during acute prostatitis, relieve pain and inflammation from the prostate gland;
- alpha-blockers - drugs that relax the prostate gland and improve urination; due to inflammation, the prostate enlarges in size, compresses the urethra and does not allow urine to come out normally;
- vitamins and dietary supplements, they improve the restoration of normal prostate function after defeating the infection and relieving inflammation.
But the equipment sold to treat prostatitis is 99% useless, experts are sure. Here are these amazing laser, pulsed and electromagnetic devices.
Folk remedies for prostatitis
The most popular remedy for prostatitis is propolis. It is recommended to use it both in the form of candles and in the form of a solution. Propolis is said to have a mild anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effect, but the key word is small! Neither to overcome the infection that causes prostatitis, nor to alleviate the inflammation, in which devilish pains and a temperature of 40 degrees, propolis will certainly not be able to.
Another popular remedy for prostatitis are pumpkin seeds. Eat - and order. But in fact, you should understand that pumpkin seeds act only on certain types of worms. And then, they do not kill them, but simply cause discomfort, from which the worms can begin to crawl out of a person. Since worms do not cause prostate, treatment with pumpkin seeds is futile.
Many use burdock root to treat prostatitis. Burdock has a diuretic and wound healing effect, as well as contains a lot of inulin, which is beneficial for diabetes. There are no sores as such with prostatitis and therefore there is nothing special to treat. But the diuretic effect will give you torture. Imagine - you already have urine unable to penetrate the squeezed urethra from the prostate, and you increase the pressure even more, increasing the pain and frequency of toilet visits. Do you need it?
In folk medicine, for the treatment of prostatitis, it is advisable to use a decoction of bear root (red). The main effect of its use is anti-inflammatory. But it is weak enough to lower the temperature and pain. In addition, bear root does not fight infection in any way.
"Our people are so tough that they can handle anything, " he saysurologist Sergey Kotov. At the heart of all medicines now advertised and sold as dietary supplements are herbal ingredients. They have a mild anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effectiveness. But as the only treatment for prostatitis, they are very weak, as they have extremely low efficacy. I can not recommend anything. The main problem of traditional medicine is the waste of time and delayed start of normal treatment.
Baths for prostatitis
- The most effective popular way to treat prostatitis is a bath! says the urologist. - Heating, changing heat and cold can be helpful. But it is important to remember that the bath is contraindicated for people who have problems with the heart and blood vessels. A very important point! In patients older than 50 years, you should be 100% sure it is prostatitis and not prostate cancer. Because the symptoms of chronic prostatitis are the same as those of adenoma and prostate cancer. And it is important not to waste time trying to cure the wrong disease. The procedure is as follows: first we rule out oncology, then we treat prostatitis.
You can only go to the bath or sauna for prostate treatment if you are feeling well! Do not walk immediately after eating or when you are drunk. You can not walk with an acute prostate when you have a fever! Only after normalization of health to consolidate the treatment and prevention of prostatitis.
It is better not to overheat in a bath or sauna, to walk for pleasure and not for the sake of endurance records. We entered the steam room for 15-20 minutes, warmed up - went out to rest for 30-40 minutes. Then you can go back to warm up. It is better not to climb in the snow or in an ice pool - otherwise you can get a new wave of prostatitis from hypothermia!
Exercises at home for prostatitis
There are now many exercises on the internet to prevent prostatitis. "But for the most part, everything is marketing and advertising, " says the doctor. - Regular daily walking, lowering and climbing stairs will bring many more benefits! Clearly it is not a hunt, but you force yourself to be at least minimally active. And a regular sex life!
If you have an office job, for example, nothing prevents you from going to the dining room during your lunch break, not by elevator, but by walking up several floors. Sit for 2 hours in a meeting? After that, go out into the hallway and do some meetings. In general, squats are the exercise itself that distributes blood well in the pelvis and fights stagnation.
After work, we got home - leave the car in the yard and go to the store on foot, and do not get in it on the street. Take the stairs to your floor, not the elevator. If you live too high, take the elevator part of the way and walk part of the way.
"You need to exercise regularly, " he advises.urologist Sergey Kotov. - No registration needed, but walking for 40 minutes a day or fitness class 2-3 times a week with exercises for the lower body will help. Cycling, walking, sitting, bending, swimming are very good exercises at home for prostatitis.
Remember the main exercises for preventing prostatitis:
- walk;
- squats;
- forward turns;
- shake your legs;
- reclining leg stretch;
- walking up the stairs;
- Cycling;
- Swiming.
