Before using alternative medicines
The best folk remedy for prostatitis in men meets several requirements:
- Does not harm the body: an incorrectly selected remedy can provoke an exacerbation of the disease and lead to a rapid deterioration in well-being.
- Aimed at relieving symptoms and eliminating the causes that led to the development of inflammation.
- Strengthens the immune system and the body as a whole.
Fighting prostatitis with home remedies must be conscious. To achieve good results, it is necessary to understand the etiology of inflammatory processes and remember the precautions.
It is not possible to completely get rid of prostatitis with traditional methods. All of the methods listed below are aimed at reducing symptoms and alleviating the condition.
Treating prostatitis with folk remedies at home carries several dangers:
- Some self-medication methods reduce the effectiveness of medications by blocking the action of the active components of the drugs and causing allergic reactions.
- During the period of exacerbation, any method is dangerous and requires coordination with the attending physician.
- Don't give in to complacency. Even if some method brings relief, it is still necessary to undergo regular medical examinations. Congestive prostatitis in chronic form is prone to relapses. The absence of symptoms does not mean that inflammation does not exist.
Treating the initial form of prostatitis with home remedies can be truly effective. One should not expect a quick recovery if the disease has become chronic.
To choose the best treatment, it is necessary to know well the causes of prostatitis and the main types of inflammatory processes:
- Nonbacterial prostatitis— the cause of inflammation is usually hypothermia of the body, the presence of microtrauma to the prostate, changes caused by stress, sedentary work and other factors. The therapy will aim to improve blood microcirculation and relieve symptoms.
- infectious prostatitis— occurs against the background of the penetration of STIs, fungi or pathogenic microorganisms into the body. It is strictly prohibited to treat bacterial prostatitis on your own. Long-term antibacterial therapy is required. The development of a purulent form leads to death.
- congestive prostatitis- the second name of chronic inflammation of the prostate. As the term suggests, the disorder is caused by stagnation of fluids in the pelvic area. Blood microcirculation is disturbed, the outflow of seminal fluid occurs irregularly.
Chronic prostatitis is difficult to treat, as it requires the restoration of normal functioning of glandular tissue. - acute prostatitis- at the time of exacerbation of inflammatory processes, any drug can cause harm to the body. Self-medication is extremely dangerous.
Congestive or chronic prostatitis is the most difficult to treat and requires a long time to heal. The disease in this form is always preceded by acute inflammatory processes.
At the initial stage, it is much easier to prevent the development of prostatitis. In advanced conditions, home remedies are intended exclusively to reduce unpleasant symptoms.
