Anatomy has long been forgotten at the time when knowledge from a school textbook should be useful in personal experience. Discomfort in one's own body can, it seems, start "out of the blue. "After reading the Internet and making a wrong diagnosis yourself, you can start your problem quite strongly and produce new ones. The prostate is an organ found exclusively in the male half of the population. Unfortunately, prostatitis occurs very often in men, especially those whose age has passed the fifth decade mark.
Causes
There are many reasons for prostatitis, and even one of them can lead to serious violations in the work of the gland.
- Irregular sexual life or its total absence. The irregularity of sexual intercourse is the cause of stagnant processes in the prostate gland, since it is this gland that is responsible for erection, ejaculation;
- Regular or single hypothermia can contribute to inflammation of the prostate gland, reduce its functionality, cause congestion and chronic prostatitis;
- Sexually transmitted infections in men who do not have prostatitis, in addition to regular infection, lead to inflammation and infection of the glands, and in those who have prostatitis initially or chronically, to aggravate the process;
- A sedentary or inactive lifestyle automatically leads to prostate dysfunction and stagnation of processes;
- Alcohol consumption and alcoholism is a powerful provoking factor in the appearance of glandular dysfunction problems;
- Unbalanced nutrition - the use of spicy, salty and smoked foods leads to irritation of the mucous membrane of not only the gastrointestinal tract, but also the urinary tract, as well as the prostate gland. Also, such stop products include an excessive amount of spices, seasonings and marinades. Consequently, malnutrition leads to inflammation of the prostate on a chronic level;
- Stress, nervous breakdowns and tension, psychological instability to irritating factors - this factor can cause any disease, but also aggravate existing ones. As they say, all sores are from the nerves;
- Concomitant chronic or experienced diseases. Any experienced illness greatly reduces immunity, and if it is not strengthened, then you can easily "catch" the chronic form of the disease;
- Foci of chronic infections, which, with prolonged existence without treatment, lead to an aggravation 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. Violated venous circulation, which leads to problems in the prostate gland;
- Circulatory disorders in the pelvis. There can be many reasons for poor blood flow, from banal constipation to hernias and pinched nerve endings in the joint. Reduced blood flow causes congestion and chronic inflammation in the gland.
home treatment
It is quite difficult to cure inflammation of the prostate at home, but it is possible to prevent its occurrence by avoiding quite serious treatment with antibiotics and other concomitant drugs prescribed by a urologist.
The use of folk remedies is possible only if you want to prevent and avoid the disease. In the acute form and chronic prostatitis, treatment with traditional methods is excluded. But it is worth understanding that neither folk remedies nor stories of a distant relative about a "miraculous recovery" will help if you do not take the problem very seriously and with a competent patient approach. Be prepared for the fact that home treatment is only a concomitant method for the smallest fraction to speed up the main process of treatment. As usual, treatment exclusively at home does not bring positive results, but joint therapy is quite possible. These methods include:
- herbal tinctures, blended teas;
- massage (only after studying the correct technique from a specialist);
- gymnastics;
- a diet that excludes risky foods and alcohol;
- regular sex life;
- ordinary warm baths or with decoctions of soothing herbs;
- rubbing;
- small enemas with herbal decoctions.
It should be remembered that each man's body is unique, and the symptoms may be different, so the selection of folk remedies should also be based on a competent approach to oneself. For example, one man needs infusions, while another only needs infusion baths, or microclysters are completely unnecessary for someone who does not suffer from intestinal obstruction.
Home remedies
onion peel
The most popular remedy that everyone hears about is onion peel infusions. The composition of the shell contains a large number of organic acids, vitamins and trace elements that are necessary 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 of the husk should be filtered 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 prepare a lot of shells. You can repeat the course in a few months.
Dear
The introduction of honey in your diet instead of sugar will have a beneficial effect on the whole body in general, but only if you are not allergic to it, have diabetes, and the honey itself is natural without additives or dyes.
If you want to help yourself with honey in the problem of prostatitis, you can use it with tea or as an addition to cottage cheese or simply with your favorite dishes. More than 200 grams of honey per day is not recommended.
Here too there is a peculiarity: honey cannot be heated. That is, if you want to add it to tea, the drink must be cooled to at least 45 degrees. When heated, this healing product loses its beneficial properties. If you rationally introduce honey into the diet, the work of the urinary system will soon improve, itching and irritation will disappear.
In addition to the usual tea with honey, you can prepare an equally valuable and healthy decoction from celandine and honey. To prepare it you will need:
- 100 grams of dried celandine;
- 700 grams of boiling water;
- 500 grams of natural flower honey.
Preparation: celandine should be boiled for 20-25 minutes, then left to infuse for about an hour or two. After the broth has cooled, strain through cheesecloth and add honey. You need to use a decoction of 1 tablespoon three times a day for a month. But you should do this only when you are sure that you will not need any medicine at this time. Also, alcohol is strictly prohibited while drinking 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 norm for a man is 30 seeds per day. Of course, this natural medicine should not be fried, only raw. You can eat seeds in purified form daily, or you can prepare medicinal "sweets".
To prepare sweets, you will need 500 grams of peeled raw pumpkin seeds and 200 grams of honey. Twist the seeds in a blender or meat grinder and mix with honey. Roll into walnut-sized balls and store in the fridge. You can eat up to 5 of these sweets a day. The balls must be chewed thoroughly and for a long time (about 3 minutes), and always before meals.
freshly squeezed juices
With prostatitis, freshly squeezed juices are allowed, but not all fruits and berries are suitable for the prevention of the disease.The main products to make juices should be:
- asparagus;
- beetroot;
- cucumbers;
- carrot.
Fresh juices should be drunk in the amount of 0. 5 liters per day. However, with the adoption of such a nutritional supplement, it is better to consult a urologist, since it is not suitable for all men. By the way, it is desirable for any man to include asparagus in his diet, since it has a very positive effect on the prostate gland.
Exercises for chronic prostatitis
squats
Your lower body should not feel sore or weak during the exercise. These are clear signs of poor blood supply in the pelvis. Start small with 10-15 squats, gradually increase the number. If you can do up to 100 squats at a time, this is enough to maintain good blood circulation and muscle tone every day. In addition, this simple exercise will be of great help in sexual relations.
The most effective exercises are the simplest deep squats. But your execution technique 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 perform the exercise abruptly; it is better to slow down, watch your breathing.
Kegel exercises
This exercise is usually heard by women, but it will also bring great benefits to a man with constant training and repetitions. To perform the Kegel exercise, you need to have a full bladder. When urinating, you should briefly hold the stream and continue to empty your bladder. Alternate: flush - delay - flush - delay. The delay should be done literally for a couple of seconds. Constant repetitions improve blood circulation in the prostate.
Also, the exercise can be performed simply by tensing the muscles without emptying them. If you decide to start these exercises, start doing them small - 5-6 repetitions throughout the day. It is very good if the number of repetitions after constant training reaches 100. This will affect the health of the prostate gland, as well as sexual stamina.
Anal muscle exercise
Exercises for the anal muscles are beneficial for the prostate. To perform this exercise, you need to compress and decompress the sphincter. This exercise can not only be done almost constantly, but is also invisible to others. But its benefits are very great: the prostate gland becomes noma, and there is also prevention of hemorrhoids and prolapse of the nodes of the rectum, and there is also recovery after this disease.
Yoga
The benefits of yoga are due to the fact that calm exercises engage all the muscles of the body, even the deepest ones.
Many men are embarrassed to go to yoga because they consider this sport to be feminine; this is a deep delusion and a stagnant stereotype. Therefore, if you want to get your health back, throw away these prejudices and practice yoga at least according to video lessons at home.
Special emphasis should be placed on the following hatha yoga postures:
- inverted asanas, which will unload the veins in the plexuses of the prostate;
- poses involving the hip joints;
- abdominal exercises

- when restoring the tone of the gland;
- for the outflow of male secretions;
- to ensure normal blood flow;
