Today we will talk about the prevention of prostatitis in men, what medicines and folk remedies can be used, about vitamins and adequate diets.
Briefly about the causes of the disease
Prostatitis, or inflammation of the prostate, can be caused by both infectious and non-infectious factors.
In the first case, we are talking about bacteria and, rarely, viruses. In the second - blood stagnation 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 their life expectancy.
Consider the four main sources of male sexual health:
- Lifestyle;
- Medicines with preventive action: complexes of herbs 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 difficult to change, like 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 preventing any disease will be to move to more favorable living conditions. Of course, this is also the most difficult time.
If this seems impossible, you need to strictly follow the rest of the basic principles of male health.
We will also include sex here. No matter how you do it, the main thing is that the prostate is emptying regularly and you, at the same time, are not infected with anything.
Nutrition
Prostatitis prevention and adequate nutrition are inseparable.
How is nutrition related to the prostate? It looks like the prostate is in the lower part of the body, and the mouth and stomach are higher.
Prostate health is influenced by the body's salt balance of water, the strength of blood flow and the condition of blood vessel walls.
Food directly affects all of this and can improve and worsen prostate health.
The term “healthy eating” refers to the consumption of foods of natural origin, without the addition of artificially created additives (preservatives, dyes, “vegetable fats”).
Note that this is not enough for healthy eating. Unfortunately, what is pleasing to our taste buds is usually bad for the stomach.
We are used to eating spicy, salty and spicy foods, completely forgetting the taste of food without any 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 lightly salty foods, which are not present, or there are very small amounts of spicy spices, pepper.
Forget you have mayonnaise, replace it with vegetable oil. Forget fast food, hamburgers, nuggets.
More vegetables, more fruits, less fatty meats. And everything will be fine.
Ideally, you should know approximately your daily caloric intake and stick to that value when choosing the right foods. This way, you will not be overweight and your body will remain young for longer.
Water - Drink as many liquids as you want. To do this, place a glass of water on your table or close to where you are sitting.
You won't notice how quickly this glass empties. Now, remember how rarely do you get water? Paradox.
The water must be close, so you will drink as much as you need. By the way, you drink water much better than one drink. It has been proven that drinking your daily water intake in several stages is much more difficult than taking a sip during the day.
Hardening
In this case, we strengthen the immune system and increase blood flow in the body.
The effect of hardening of the prostate is very positive.
Internal blood circulation is stimulated, stagnation within the gland is eliminated, mood improves.
Therefore, hardening is also included in a healthy lifestyle.
Exercise and active
Exercise is the key to a long and healthy life. Conducting blood through the body is a prerequisite for our well-being, this is the main condition for the prevention of prostatitis.
It is because of blood stagnation and calorie accumulation that most diseases related to aging, overweight, fatigue and lethargy throughout the body arise.
We will consider special exercises for prostatitis a little later, now we will give some general tips:
- Walk every day! Someone said that you need to walk at least 8 km a day. We believe this is a lot, and not everyone is going to dominate this marathon. So, let's cut that number in half. The main thing is that you walk. If your legs hurt, the more you need to walk. Better with special toothpicks.
- Walk fast or run a few times a week.
- Visit saunas and baths. With caution and without fanaticism, if required by doctors. Everything is good in moderation.
- Remember, it is not the number of kilometers you have traveled in a day that matters, but the regularity. Who overcame more - a beginner who was tired on the third day of walking or a person who walks fast in the park every day?
Prophylactic drugs
Supplements
Note that for prophylaxis, medicines containing plant ingredients or extracts from the bovine prostate are used.
The action of these drugs aims to stimulate the work of the human prostate, eliminating stagnation and increasing the production of fluid secretion.
Prophylactic agents are available in the form of rectal suppositories, solutions for microclysters and oral tablets.
Vitamins
Let's take a quick look at what vitamin is needed for:
- Vitamin A - prevention of prostate adenoma;
- Vitamin D - its deficiency in men over 55 simply forces them to use it additionally. 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 that has not yet started.
Drugs for inflammation of the prostate are not recommended for isolated use.
They are not dietary supplements, so their use can adversely affect the body.
Please understand this and see a urologist.
Folk remedies for prevention
Traditional medicine is best suited for the prevention of diseases and pathological conditions.
Pumpkin seeds should be eaten raw every day. Enough for 25-30 seeds a day, half an hour before meals.
Can be used in combination with honey: 500 grams of pumpkin seeds must be crushed and mixed with 200 grams of honey. We roll balls of the resulting porridge and eat 1-2 balls a day. We recommend dissolving.
Hazelnut shell and leaves - you need to prepare for 15-40 minutes (the shell is longer, the leaves are smaller), drink a glass of broth during the day on an empty stomach.
Chestnut shells can be prepared and drinks like tea. The interior of the chestnuts needs to be fermented.
Elderberry juice can be drunk before meals in the amount of one tablespoon, after drinking a glass of water.
Propolis and honey are excellent remedies for preventing inflammation of the prostate. Consume with food.
Greens are considered to be very useful for prostate health: parsley, dill. The ginger root, produced in boiling water, can be added to tea in 1-2 teaspoons.
Massage and exercise
Massage
Before we talk about physical exercise, we note that transrectal prostate massage is beneficial for prostate health. For prevention, one of these massages is sufficient for 2-3 minutes.
To avoid suffering, buy a special prostate massager in sexual salons or pharmacies. Or regularly, once a month, consult the specialist who best suits the massage.
Exercises
Prostate health requires specific exercises. There is a Kegel complex that aims to contract the internal muscles of the pelvis.
This complex is used more often by men to prolong sexual intercourse than as prophylaxis of the prostate.
The end result is simple: you need to stretch and relax your perineum muscles up to 30-45 times in a row.
Excessive enthusiasm can cause rectal prolapse, unwanted bowel movements and inguinal hernia.
The following is a list of exercises that use the internal pelvic muscles:
- Stand with your feet together and your arms at your sides. Try to breathe so that when you inhale, your pelvis moves back and there is tension inside it. Relax as you exhale. Repeat this exercise 10-15 times slowly and without shaking.
- Lie on the floor with your back, legs together, hands resting on the floor at the level of your lower back. Lift your legs 10 to 15 times perpendicular to the floor and to the lower back. The exercise is done smoothly and without bumps.
- Stay in the "lying with your hands" position, as in push-ups, raise your pelvis as high as possible and then lower it to the floor. Repeat 10-15 times. This exercise is practiced by yogis to open the sex chakra and stimulate male strength.
- Stand with your arms loose around your hips. Imagine that you really want to use the bathroom, but you will still have to endure it for a long time. Strive as if you want to keep everything to yourself. to relax. This is an analogue of the Kegel complex.
Protection against infections
This item of preventive measures involves taking measures to prevent and spread diseases, especially those that are sexually transmitted.
STDs are various diseases and the predominant form of spread is through the mucous membranes of Organs genitals from one person to another.
The culprit for the inflammatory process in these cases is bacteria and viruses, which lead an exclusively parasitic lifestyle in the host's cells.
Along with prostatitis, these microorganisms cause infertility in men and women, inflammation of the upper and lower urinary tract and separate "floors" from the reproductive system.
To avoid STDs, follow these guidelines:
- Protected sex, careful choice of sexual partner. Avoid promiscuous sex, don't be like animals. That pleasure can end your future life.
- Before starting an intimate relationship, you and your partner need to get tested for STDs. It is a worthwhile investment that will keep you safe from unknown infections and increase confidence in your relationship.
- The infection can be obtained not only by classical sex methods, but by everyone else. At first glance, harmless entertainment - oral sex, can result in sexual illness for the man if the woman practices these things with other partners. The mucous membrane of the mouth is an excellent carrier of the microbial agent.
- If you have unprotected sex (whatever happens), use genital antiseptics, carefully treating the mucous membrane of the penis and the adjacent areas of the skin, you also need to 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.
Thus, an attitude attentive to sex, selectivity and fidelity is a guarantee of male sexual health.
Prostatitis prophylaxis is the key to male health. Everyone knows that this is self-confidence and good humor, no 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 inattentive to your body, lead a wrong lifestyle, old age will reach 30 years.
