Today we will talk about the prevention of prostatitis in men, what drugs and folk remedies can be used, vitamins and proper diets.
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, the prevention of prostatitis will have two objectives:
- Implementation of measures to prevent congestion inside the prostate.
- Protection against infections.
Prevention of stagnation
Prostatitis prophylaxis includes a wide range of therapeutic and prophylactic measures that not only prevent prostatitis, but also improve a person's quality of life, extend his life expectancy.
Consider the 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, like where we live.
In a modern city, the air and environment are so dirty that they pose a direct threat to our health.
Therefore, the first step in preventing any disease will be to move to more favorable living conditions. Of course, this is also the most difficult time.
If it seems impossible, you should strictly follow the rest of the basics of men's health.
We will also include gender here. No matter how you do it, the main thing is that the prostate gland empties regularly, and at the same time, you do not get infected with anything.
Nutrition
Prevention of prostatitis and good nutrition go hand in hand.
How does nutrition relate to the prostate? It seems that the prostate is at the bottom of the body and the mouth and stomach are higher.
The health of the prostate is influenced by the body's water-salt balance, the strength of the blood flow, and the condition of the walls of the blood vessels.
Food directly affects all of this and can both improve prostate health and make it worse.
The term "healthy food" means the consumption of foods of natural origin, without the addition of additives created artificially (preservatives, colorings, "vegetable fats").
Note that this is not enough for healthy eating. Unfortunately, what pleases our taste buds is often bad for the stomach.
We are used to eating spicy, salty and spicy dishes, completely forgetting about the taste of food without flavor enhancers. But the natural taste is pleasant.
For the health of the prostate and the whole body, one has to get used to eating slightly salty foods, which are not present, or there are very small amounts of hot spices, pepper.
Forget that there is mayonnaise, replace it with vegetable oil. Forget fast food, burgers, nuggets.
More vegetables, more fruit, less fatty meats. And all will be well.
Ideally, if you know roughly your daily calorie intake and stick to that value when choosing the right foods. Then you will not be overweight and the body will stay younger for 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 seldom you go to fetch water? Paradox.
The water should be close, then you will drink as much as you need. By the way, you drink water much better in a sip than in a single sip. It has been proven that drinking your daily water intake in several stages is much more difficult than taking a sip during the day.
Curing
In this case, we strengthen the immune system and increase the blood flow in the body.
The effect of hardening on the prostate is very positive.
Internal blood circulation is stimulated, stagnation inside the gland is eliminated, mood rises.
Therefore, hardening is also included in a healthy lifestyle.
Exercise and active
Exercise is the key to a long, healthy life. Circulating blood in the body is a prerequisite for our well-being, it is the main condition for the prevention of prostatitis.
It is because of the stagnation of blood and the accumulation of calories that most age-related diseases, overweight, fatigue and lethargy occur of the whole body.
We will consider special exercises for prostatitis a little later, now we will give some general advice:
- Walk every day! Someone says you have to walk at least 8 km a day. We think that's a lot and not everyone will master such a marathon. Therefore, we will reduce this figure by half. The main thing is that you walk. If your legs hurt, the more you have to walk. Better with special sticks.
- Walk fast or run a few times a week.
- Visit the saunas and baths. With prudence and without fanaticism, if the doctors demand it. Everything is good in moderation.
- Remember, it's not the number of kilometers you cover in a day that counts, but the consistency. Who went through the most - a beginner, tired on the third day of walking, or someone who walks briskly in the park every day?
Prophylactic drugs
food supplements
Note that prophylaxis uses preparations containing herbal ingredients or extracts from bovine prostate.
The action of these drugs is aimed at stimulating the work of the human prostate, eliminating stagnation and increasing the production of fluid secretion.
Prophylactic agents are available as rectal suppositories, microclyster solutions and oral tablets.
Vitamins
Let's briefly note what the vitamin is used for:
- Vitamin A - prevention of prostate adenoma;
- Vitamin D - its deficiency in men over 55 simply forces them to use it on top of it. Improves the functioning of the circulatory system, normalizes blood flow;
- Vitamin E and K - reduce the risk of prostate cancer.
These vitamins are not only able to prevent prostatitis, but also to cure a chronic abacterial process which has not yet started.
Medicines for prostate inflammation are not recommended for use alone.
They are not food supplements, so their use can harm the body.
Be 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 per day half an hour before meals.
Can be used in combination with honey: 500 grams of pumpkin seeds should be crushed and mixed with 200 grams of honey. We roll out balls of the resulting porridge and eat 1-2 balls a day. We recommend dissolution.
Hazelnut bark and leaves - you need to steep for 15-40 minutes (the bark is longer, the leaves are smaller), drink a glass of broth during the day on an empty stomach.
Chestnut shells can be prepared and consumed as tea. The inside of chestnuts must be stirred.
Elderberry juice can be drunk before meals at the rate of one tablespoon, after drinking a glass of water.
Propolis and honey are excellent remedies for preventing inflammation of the prostate. Consume them with food.
Greens are considered very helpful for prostate health: parsley, dill. Ginger root, brewed in boiling water, can be added to tea in 1-2 teaspoons.
Massage and exercise
Massage
Before talking about exercise, we note that transrectal prostate massage is beneficial for prostate health. For prevention, such a massage is enough for 2-3 minutes.
In order not to suffer yourself, buy a special prostate massager in sex parlors or pharmacies. Or regularly, once a month, see the specialist who is best for massage.
Exercises
A healthy prostate requires specific exercises. There is a Kegel complex aimed at contracting the internal muscles of the pelvis.
This complex is used more often by men to prolong intercourse than as a prophylaxis of the prostate.
The result is simple: you should strain and relax the muscles of the perineum up to 30-45 times in one set.
Excessive enthusiasm can lead to rectal prolapse, unwanted stools, and the development of an inguinal hernia.
Here is a list of exercises that use the internal pelvic muscles:
- Stand with your feet together, your arms by your side. Try to breathe in such a way that when you inhale, the pelvis recedes and there is tension inside. Relax as you breathe out. Repeat this exercise 10 to 15 times slowly and without jerking.
- Lie on the floor with your back, legs together, hands resting on the floor at lower back level. Lift your legs 10 to 15 times perpendicular to the floor and lower back. The exercise is done smoothly and without jerks.
- Stand in a “hands-down” position, as in push-ups, lift the pelvis as high as possible, then lower it to the floor. Repeat 10 to 15 times. This exercise is practiced by yogis to open the sex chakra and stimulate male strength.
- Stand with your arms hanging around your hips. Imagine that you really want to use the toilet, but you still have to endure a long time. Filter as if you want to keep everything to yourself. Relax. It is an analogue of the Kegel complex.
Protection against infections
This element of preventive measures involves taking measures to prevent and spread diseases, primarily sexually transmitted diseases.
STDs are a number of diseases, the main route of spread that is through the lining of the genitals from person to person.
The culprit of the inflammatory process in such cases are bacteria and viruses, which lead an exclusively parasitic lifestyle in the host's cells.
Together with prostatitis, these microorganisms cause infertility in both men and women, inflammation of the upper and lower urinary tract and separate “floors” of the reproductive system.
To avoid STDs, follow these guidelines:
- Protected sex, wise choice of sexual partner. Avoid sex without commitment, don't be like animals. Such pleasure can end your future life.
- Before starting a close relationship, you and your partner should get tested for STDs. It is a worthwhile investment that will protect you from unknown infections and add confidence to your relationship.
- Infection can be obtained not only by conventional methods of sex, but by all others. At first glance, harmless entertainment - oral sex, can end for a man with a sexual illness if a woman does such things with other partners. The mucous membrane of the mouth is an excellent support for the microbial agent.
- If you have unprotected sex (it doesn't matter which ones), use genital antiseptics, carefully treating the mucous membrane of the penis and adjacent skin areas, and pour the drug into the urethra for a few minutes. It is not a guarantee of safety, but the risks of the disease are reduced several times.
Thus, attention to sex, selectivity and fidelity is a guarantee of male sexual health.
Preventing prostatitis is the key to your male health. Everyone knows that it is both self-confidence and good humor, the absence of an inferiority complex. It's 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 inattentive to your body, lead a bad lifestyle, old age will come to you at 30.
