Effective Exercises to Fight Prostatitis

The basic principle of treating prostatitis is an integrated approach. Not even the last place in therapy is occupied by physical activity - special exercises that will help speed the onset of recovery. But they must be performed correctly, according to the technique, and only after consultation with the attending physician.

To completely get rid of diseases of the genitourinary system, men need a complex treatment, which includes a series of measures. This includes physical exercise, of which much has developed so far.

How do exercises affect the course of prostatitis?

The prostate is made up of 3 lobes, between which there is a gap for the urethra. Each lobe contains vesicular fiber and cortex, and the prostate is located under the bladder (sphincter). This entire system is closely interconnected, so it works normally.

When the prostate is affected (there are many reasons, including a sedentary lifestyle, static postures), the fiber loses its elasticity, tone decreases, and blood circulation is interrupted. Therefore, blood is not supplied with the intensity that is needed and in small amounts. This deprives the genitals of nutrients. As a result, the synthesis of new cells slows down, the local metabolism weakens.

When the patient begins to lead an active lifestyle (doing special exercises for the pelvic organs), the following occurs:

  1. The blood supply to the genitourinary system is stimulated, in the context of which oxygen and other useful substances are fed.
  2. Functional capacity of nerve cells is restored (prostatitis often occurs in a context of stress).
  3. Prostate stagnation is eliminated.
  4. The muscles of the perineum and hip joints are strengthened, as a result of which the genitourinary organs are in the correct anatomical position.
  5. Metabolism is accelerated, fiber structure normalized.
  6. Fabrics become more flexible.
  7. The inflammatory process is reduced.

The effectiveness of physical activity for prostatitis has been proven by scientific research. The reason for this was the main cause of the disease - prostate congestion due to deficient blood supply.
