Prostatitis develops after forty, and sometimes thirty years, when a man is more active at work and in the family, and a decline in power can significantly damage his self-confidence, not only on the love front, but in all areas of life. The prostate itself is not contagious, but one of its causes is that sexually transmitted infections can spread to the patient's sexual partners.
The main reasons
There are several factors that contribute to the development of prostatitis and decreased strength as a result:
- Stagnation in the prostate gland. This is one of the main causes of prostatitis. Irregular or irregular sex life contributes to the stagnation of secretion, and a sedentary lifestyle, lack of physical activity cause blood stagnation. The result of both processes is the same - swelling of the prostate gland, increased pressure in it and violation of its functions (production of secretion and regulation of ejaculation).
- Unpleasant temperature conditions of the external genitalia. Overheating and hypothermia negatively affect men's health, tight underwear and uncomfortable pants also adversely affect potency. All of this reduces sperm viability.
- Sexually Transmitted Infections. This is another risk of disordered sex life. Increased infection against the background of congestion in the prostate leads to inflammation, sometimes with severe consequences.
Preventive measures
Prevention of prostatitis in men should begin in childhood with the formation of hygienic skills in boys, the ability to choose the right underwear and clothing according to the weather. These are the main points that will allow you to be less sensitive to the harmful effects on the prostate in the future.
In young people and adults, preventing prostatitis consists of a regular sex life, 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 a timely manner, especially if your husband often has unprotected sex. It should not be protected by the method of intercourse - it leads to stagnation of prostate secretion, moreover, it is by far the most reliable method of contraception.
There are special exercises to prevent 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 stretch and relax different groups of perineum muscles, thus eliminating blood stasis in the prostate gland and other organs of the small pelvis. Hiking, jogging, squats, sports games (football, volleyball, basketball) are also useful, in winter - skiing and skating.
Drugs used to increase potency, known as Viagra, can also be considered as a preventative for prostatitis in men, but only if the dose is strictly adhered to. Excessive doses, as well as the use of Viagra without subsequent sexual intercourse, on the contrary, leads to delayed prostate secretion and increases the risk of prostatitis. Drugs used in our country to prevent prostatitis and increase potency have the status of dietary supplements, so they are not considered drugs and are not subject to certification. These include local products such as Men Support and Prost Plus, US medicines - So Palmetto and Pro Formula, and many more.
To prevent acute prostatitis from becoming chronic, it is important to treat sexually transmitted infections in a timely and complete manner, to avoid unprotected sex with casual 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 is not treated in time tends to become chronic. To do this, use the medications that are available in tablets. In addition, rectal suppositories are used - they relieve inflammation in the acute prostate or worsen a chronic one, reduce prostate swelling due to congestion, anesthetize the surrounding tissues, and contribute to faster delivery of the active substance to the prostate through the rectal wall. You can take them as recommended by your 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 handle lubricated with a special water-based lubricant, the lower lobe of the prostate is determined by touch and some intense pressure is applied to it. The upper sections of the gland are not affected during the massage. Due to the concern of the finger method and the disgust associated with it, there are simulators for prostate massage.
Do not lose their value and exercises for the prevention of prostatitis, they speed up the treatment process, as well as are the prevention of chronic prostatitis, which can occur with acute prostatitis that is not completely cured.
Treating prostatitis at home includes a healthy diet - high-fiber vegetables, lean meats and fish, plenty of fluids, alcohol restriction, especially beer. Moderate physical activity and regular sexual activity are desirable. Folk remedies are used: resorption of balls from pumpkin seeds and honey, berry juice, decoctions of the leaves and bark of hazelnuts, chestnut peels. And yet the recommendations outlined are more about preventing prostatitis in men than treating it. Popular 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 single drug will not give an immediate effect, so it is important to use them together and above all - as instructed by a doctor.
