Treating prostatitis - one of the most common male diseases - is an extremely sensitive process. The disease itself mainly affects older men, although recently there has been a persistent tendency to rejuvenate the victims, and today it is already possible to find prostatitis not only in men aged 40, but also in men aged 30. It is prostatitis that is to blame for reducing erections, so knowing how to cure prostatitis quickly can be helpful for a man of any age.
Symptoms and diagnosis of prostatitis
The axiom does not require proof that, in order to cure a disease, you must first properly diagnose it and determine the causes.
In medical manuals, prostatitis is classified as an inflammatory process that affects the prostate. Inflammation is caused by fungi, viruses or bacteria that have entered the prostate. The prostate gland can also become inflamed by prolonged blood stagnation in the blood vessels of the pelvis and scrotum.
Factors that increase the risk of prostatitis include an inactive lifestyle, smoking, sexual abstinence and, paradoxically, frequent use of the sauna. All these factors change the blood circulation in the pelvic area, objectively contributing to the stagnation of the lymph in it. As a result, immunity is reduced and the body becomes more susceptible to attacks by viruses or bacteria.
There are acute and chronic forms of prostatitis. Signs of the onset of prostate inflammation are:
- occurrence of discomfort in the groin, testicles or penis;
- pain in groin or perineum;
- pain during urination and stool;
- increased body temperature accompanied by chills;
- decreased erection.
If you do not pay attention to these symptoms and do not visit a doctor in time, prostatitis from an acute form turns into a chronic one, and in rare cases the inflammatory process that started in the prostate can cause general blood poisoning.
So when the first symptoms of the disease appear, you can not hesitate to visit a doctor. It should never be forgotten that prostatitis, which has passed from an acute to a chronic form, noticeably reduces not only a man's sexual activity, but also the sexual sensations he experiences.
Modern development of medicine enables the diagnosis of prostatitis at the very beginning of the inflammatory process. This is primarily facilitated by pronounced, unique to this disease, recognizable symptoms.
For a correct diagnosis, the doctor may send the patient for an ultrasound or tomography. But in fact, in most cases, a qualitative analysis of the number of leukocytes in the urine is sufficient for an accurate diagnosis of prostatitis. Another thing is that a comprehensive study may be needed to determine the cause of the inflammatory process, in which even the results of ultrasound and tomography will be few. But the decision on such a study is made only by a doctor.
Some aspects of treatment
Today in pharmacies you can find many drugs to treat prostatitis. These are usually products of well-known brands and are quite expensive. The reality of today's medicine is that, due to the aggressive public advertising of such drugs, doctors usually prescribe something more expensive.
Prostatitis is a very unpleasant disease for men, but it does not pose a direct threat to the patient's life, which is why leading pharmacological corporations have long commercialized his treatment, making significant profits from the sale of their drugs.
However, the treatment of prostatitis is one of the few cases where you can effectively use the available means. The acute form and all kinds of complications of the disease are treated only in the hospital, and here you must adhere to the prescribed doctors. But with the initial stage of prostatitis and its chronic form, everything is not so simple.
Therefore, after learning the diagnosis from a doctor and receiving sick leave from him with a prescription for outpatient treatment and a prescription with the names of expensive drugs, you should not rush to buy them. With a rich selection of proven traditional remedies for prostatitis, treating this disease will cost you an order of magnitude cheaper.
Almost all pharmacological drugs are aimed only at treating prostatitis, while many folk remedies can not only effectively cure the disease, especially in the initial stages, but are also an excellent prophylactic agent. In other words, if you take these medications regularly to prevent prostatitis, you will hardly need treatment.
In addition, when choosing between modern pharmacological preparations and folk remedies, it should be borne in mind that factory preparations contain a large number of artificial chemical compounds that can cause serious allergies.
The better to cure the disease
To cure prostatitis, traditional healers usually recommend:
- pumpkin seeds;
- hazel leaves and bark; chestnuts;
- propolis;
- aspen bark;
- asparagus juice;
- black elderberries;
- parsley;
- honey candles.
Pumpkin seeds have long been used by healers and healers to treat male diseases and strengthen potency. In terms of a combination of efficacy and treatment costs, this is one of the best options. Pumpkin seeds contain a lot of zinc - a trace element, the lack of which in the male body will not be effective in treating prostatitis. The effect is given only by raw seeds, from dried, and even more than fried, it will not make sense.
Aspen bark, infused with vodka, also effectively helps in the treatment of prostatitis. However, not every bark is suitable for treatment, but is harvested early in the spring, before the buds of the trees and 3 to 5 mm thick. You can also treat prostatitis with a hazelnut. Thin sprigs of hazel with blossoming leaves are boiled and drunk instead of tea by a quarter cup 4 times a day. You can also cook bare twigs, but you will only have to cook them twice as long. 2-4 weeks of such tea drinking - and the symptoms of the disease will stop annoying you. But to eliminate the cause of the inflammation, it is better to alter it with other methods of treatment.
Prostatitis is also well treated with chestnut tincture. Although the course of such treatment lasts up to six months, it has practically no contraindications, so even older men can safely use it. The main advantages of this method are that with the help of chestnut tincture, it is possible not only to alleviate discomfort, but also to eliminate the cause of prostate inflammation. You can prepare the tincture yourself in the home kitchen. The full cycle of treatment includes 3 courses lasting one month, but there should be 2 breaks between courses, also 1 month each. To make the treatment of prostatitis as effective as possible, other methods of treatment can be used during menstrual breaks.
Effective treatment of prostatitis is also provided by bee products: honey and propolis, which have long been known for their anti-inflammatory properties. They are not used in pure form for treatment, but as ingredients of effective medicines these products are irreplaceable.
Simple folk recipes
To prevent prostate inflammation, a man must eat 30 pieces of raw pumpkin seeds every day. To treat prostatitis with seeds you need to roll a little, but the result pays off. First you need to peel 0, 5 kg of pumpkin seeds and kill them in a blender or grind in a meat grinder. Then add a glass (200 g) of honey to this mass and mix everything thoroughly.
From the resulting mixture, walnut-sized balls are formed (a little more is possible - there will be no damage). It is necessary to keep these gaps in the refrigerator, but it should be borne in mind that they cannot be used cold. Therefore, they need to be removed from the refrigerator in advance to bring their temperature closer to room temperature.
Take 1-2 scoops in the morning, half an hour before meals. The balls should not be swallowed, but slowly dissolved, extending the pleasure for 2-3 minutes. The treatment cannot be stopped, the course should last until all the formed balls are exhausted. One such course a year is usually enough to set a reliable barrier to prostatitis. But if this recipe did not help, then you must use other means - you should not abuse them.
Pour 100 g of dried and oven-crushed aspen bark with a glass of vodka, close with a tight lid and leave for 2 weeks in a dark place to pour. Then strain the infusion, when taken in a quarter cup of water, add 20 drops of tincture and drink before meals. You need to take it 3 times a day, the course of treatment is designed for 2 months.
Chestnuts are peeled from the brown rind, and then the rind is crushed into small pieces. Then the crushed chestnut peel is poured into a thermos and 600 ml of boiling water is poured. After 12 hours, the tincture from the thermos is placed in a water bath and evaporated until its volume is reduced to 200 ml. it is filtered through 3-4 layers of gauze and sent to the refrigerator. It should be used 3 times a day, 30 drops before meals.
40 g of propolis is evaporated in 200 ml of medical alcohol. Then this propolis is mixed with cocoa butter at the rate: 0, 1 g of propolis, 2 g of butter. Then 30 suppositories are formed from this mixture, and 1 suppository is inserted into the rectum every night before bedtime. When the candles are used up, take a break of 1-1, 5 months and repeat the course of treatment.
Diet and exercise
No special diet is needed to treat prostatitis, but it will be much more effective if some dietary rules are followed during treatment. It is necessary to exclude fish and meat dishes from the menu during the treatment, as well as hot spices and seasonings: paprika, garlic, horseradish, onion, radish and the like. It is also not recommended to abuse foods like whole milk, white cabbage and all kinds of legumes during treatment as they cause increased gas production in the intestines.
The only thing that should be strictly adhered to during treatment is consuming as many different fluids as possible. It is desirable that they also have a diuretic effect, because the treatment of prostatitis requires maximum rinsing of the urinary tract.
Simple exercises will help increase the effectiveness of treatment. In the morning, getting up after sleep, you need to massage the perineum for five minutes. Then tighten and relax the muscles several times, simulating urination. These exercises help to avoid stagnation in the prostate.
