Today we will talk about the prevention of prostatitis in men, what drugs and folk remedies can be used, about vitamins and proper nutrition.
Briefly about the causes of the disease
Prostatitis or inflammation of the prostate can be caused by infectious and non-infectious factors.
In the first case we are talking about bacteria and, rarely, viruses. In the second - stagnation of blood and secretions in the prostate.
Following the above, prostatitis prevention will have two goals:
- Implementation of measures to prevent congestion within the prostate.
- Protection against infection.
Prevent stagnation
Prostatitis prophylaxis includes a wide range of therapeutic and prophylactic measures that not only prevent prostatitis, but also improve the quality of a man's life and prolong his life.
Consider four main sources of male sexual health:
- Lifestyle;
- Prophylactic drugs: herbal complexes and vitamins;
- Folk remedies;
- Exercise.
Lifestyle
How we live, what we eat and what we do have a direct impact on our health.
There are things that are hard to change, such as where we live.
In a modern city, the air and the environment are so dirty that they pose a direct threat to our health.
Therefore, the first step in the prevention of any disease will be the transition to more favorable living conditions. This is, of course, the most difficult moment.
If this seems impossible, then you need to strictly follow the rest of the basics of men’s health.
We'll include sex here. It doesn't matter how you do it, the main thing is that the prostate is emptied regularly, and you don't get infected with anything at the same time.
Nutrition
Prostatitis prevention and proper nutrition are inseparable.
How is diet related to the prostate? The prostate appears to be at the base of the body, and the mouth and stomach are taller.
Prostate health is affected by the body's balance of water and salt, the strength of blood flow and the condition of blood vessel walls.
Food directly affects all of this and can improve prostate health and worsen it.
The term "healthy diet" refers to the consumption of food of natural origin, without the addition of artificially created additives (preservatives, dyes, "vegetable fats").
Keep in mind that this is not enough for a healthy diet. Unfortunately, what is pleasing to our taste buds is often bad for the stomach.
We are used to eating spicy, salty and spicy foods, completely forgetting the taste of food without flavor enhancers. But the natural taste is pleasant.
For the health of the prostate and the whole body, it is necessary to get used to eating slightly salty food, which is not present, or to eat very small amounts of hot spices, pepper.
Forget that there is mayonnaise, replacing it with vegetable oil. Forget fast food, burgers, lumps.
More vegetables, more fruits, less fatty meat. And everything will be fine.
Ideally, if you know your daily calorie intake and stick to that value when choosing the right food. Then you will not be overweight and your body will stay young longer.
Water - Drink as much fluid as you want. To do this, place a glass of water on your desk or next to where you are sitting.
You won't notice how quickly this glass will empty. Now remember how rarely do you go for water? Paradox.
Water should be close, then you will drink as much as you need. Otherwise, water is drunk in a sip much better than in one sip. It has been proven that daily water intake in several stages is much more difficult than swallowing during the day.
Hardening
In this case we strengthen the immune system and increase blood flow in the body.
The hardening effect on the prostate is very positive.
Stimulates internal blood circulation, removes stagnation within the gland, increases mood.
Therefore, tempering is included in a healthy lifestyle.
Exercise and be active
Exercise is the key to a long and healthy life. Driving blood through the body is a prerequisite for our well-being, it is the main condition for the prevention of prostatitis.
Precisely due to blood stagnation and accumulation of calories, most age-related diseases, overweight, fatigue and lethargy of the whole body occur.
We will consider specific exercises for prostatitis a little later, and now we will give some general tips:
- Walk every day! Someone says you need to walk at least 8km a day. We believe that this is a lot and that not everyone will master such a marathon. Therefore, we will reduce this figure by half. The main thing is to walk. If your legs hurt, you need to walk more. Better with special sticks.
- Walk fast or run several times a week.
- Visit saunas and baths. With caution and without fanaticism, if required by doctors. Everything is well in moderation.
- Remember, it's not the number of miles you cover in one day that matters, it's the regularity. Who has gone through more - a beginner, tired on the third day of walking or a person who walks briskly in the park every day?
Prophylactic drugs
Extras
Keep in mind that preparations containing herbal ingredients or beef prostate extracts are used for prophylaxis.
The action of such drugs is aimed at stimulating the work of the human prostate, removing stagnation and increasing the production of fluid secretion.
Prophylactic agents are available in the form of rectal suppositories, microenema solutions and oral tablets.
Vitamins
Let's briefly mention what a vitamin is needed for:
- Vitamin A - prevention of prostate adenoma;
- Vitamin D - deficiency in men older than 55 simply obliges them to additional use. Improves the work of the circulatory system, normalizes blood flow;
- Vitamin E and K - reduce the risk of prostate cancer.
Such vitamins can not only provide prevention of prostatitis, but also cure a chronic abacterial process that has not yet begun.
Prostate inflammation medications are not only recommended for use.
These are not dietary supplements, so their use can negatively affect the body.
Have an understanding and consult your urologist.
Folk remedies for prevention
Traditional medicine is more suitable for the prevention of diseases and pathological conditions.
Pumpkin seeds should be eaten raw every day. Enough 25-30 seeds a day for half an hour before meals.
Can be used in combination with honey: 500 grams of pumpkin seeds should be chopped and mixed with 200 grams of honey. We roll balls from the resulting porridge and eat 1-2 balls a day. We recommend dissolving.
Hazelnut bark and leaves - you have to cook for 15-40 minutes (the bark is longer, the leaves are smaller), drink one glass of soup during the day on an empty stomach.
Chestnut shells can be cooked and drunk as tea. The inside of the chestnuts should be cooked.
Elderberry juice can be drunk before meals in the amount of one tablespoon, after drinking a glass of water.
Propolis and honey are excellent drugs to prevent inflammation of the prostate. Consume them with food.
Greens are considered very useful for prostate health: parsley, dill. Ginger root, boiled in boiling water, can be added to tea in 1-2 teaspoons.
Massage and exercises
Massage
Before we talk about exercise, we noticed that transrectal prostate massage is beneficial for prostate health. One 2-3 minutes of massage is enough for prevention.
In order not to suffer alone, buy a special prostate massager in sex salons or pharmacies. Or regularly, once a month, visit the specialist who is best for the massage.
Exercises
Prostate health requires certain exercises. There is a Kegel complex whose goal is the contraction of the internal pelvic muscles.
This complex is more often used by men to prolong sexual intercourse than as prostate prophylaxis.
The conclusion is simple: you need to strain and relax your perineum muscles up to 30-45 times in one complex.
Excessive enthusiasm can lead to rectal prolapse, unwanted bowel movements, and inguinal hernia.
The following is a list of exercises that use the internal pelvic floor muscles:
- Stand with your feet together, arms at your hips. Try to breathe so that when you inhale the pelvis moves backwards and there is tension in it. Relax as you exhale. Repeat this exercise 10-15 times slowly and without jerking.
- Lie on the floor, back, legs together, hands on the floor at the level of the lower back. Raise your legs 10-15 times perpendicular to the floor and lower back. The exercise is done smoothly and without jerking.
- Stand in a “lying down” position, as in push-ups, raise your pelvis as high as possible, and then lower it to the floor. Repeat 10-15 times. Yogis practice this exercise to open the sexual chakra and stimulate male strength.
- Stand with your arms hanging loosely around your hips. Imagine that you really want to use the toilet, but you still have to endure for a long time. Tense up like you want to keep everything to yourself. Relax. This is an analogue of the Kegel complex.
Protection against infection
This item of preventive measures implies taking measures to prevent and spread diseases, primarily sexually transmitted diseases.
STDs are a number of diseases, the predominant way of which is to spread through the mucous membrane of the genital organs from one person to another.
The culprit of the inflammatory process in such cases are bacteria and viruses that lead an exclusively parasitic lifestyle in the host cells.
Together with prostatitis, these microorganisms cause infertility in men and women, inflammation of the upper and lower urinary tract, and separate “floors” of the reproductive system.
To avoid sexually transmitted diseases, follow these guidelines:
- Protected sex, careful selection of sexual partner. Avoid promiscuous sex, don’t be like animals. Such pleasure can put an end to your future life.
- Before you start a close relationship, you and your partner must be tested for sexually transmitted diseases. This is a valuable investment that will protect you from unknown infections and add confidence to your relationship.
- Infection can be obtained not only by classical methods of sex, but also by everyone else. At first glance, harmless fun - oral sex, can end for a man with a sexual disease if a woman does such things with other partners. The oral mucosa is an excellent carrier of a microbial agent.
- If you have unprotected sex (no matter what), use genital antiseptics, carefully treating the lining of the penis and adjacent areas of the skin, you should also pour the medicine into the urethra for a few minutes. This is not a guarantee of safety, but the risks of the disease are reduced several times.
Therefore, a careful attitude towards sex, selectivity and fidelity are guarantees of male sexual health.
Prostatitis prophylaxis is the key to your male health. Everyone knows that it is both self-confidence and good mood, the absence of an inferiority complex. It is a long and happy life.
Prostatitis is not easy to avoid, but it is possible. How you spend your old age is up to you. If you are careless with your body, lead a wrong lifestyle, your age will come at 30 years old.
