Inflammation of the prostate or neoplasm in the form of an adenoma, which leads to urinary disorders and sexual dysfunction, are the result of general aging of the body or are caused by external infections and improper lifestyle.
Regardless of the cause of this pathology, a special set of physical exercises can greatly facilitate the process of treating and restoring prostate function in men.

The intensity of prostatitis symptoms can be misleading. Only after specialist research can the stage and nature of the course of the disease and the set of physical exercises that correspond to it be determined.
Patients diagnosed with chronic prostatitis and recovering from adenoma surgery are prescribed special therapeutic exercises that are performed under the supervision of a physician. In milder forms of inflammation, the effects of drug therapy can be supported by gymnastics that strengthens muscles and improves blood circulation in the pelvic area. Physical activity not only stimulates the metabolism, but also relieves the psychological stress caused by the disease and supports the male body, revealing all the possibilities of self-medication.
