Today we will discuss about the prevention of prostatitis in men, what medicines and folk remedies can be used, about vitamins and proper diet.
Briefly about the cause of this 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 gland.
Following the above, prostatitis prevention will have two purposes:
- Implementation of measures to prevent congestion in the prostate gland.
- Protection from infection.
Stagnation prevention
Prophylactic prostatitis includes various therapeutic and prophylactic measures that not only prevent prostatitis, but also improve a person’s quality of life, prolonging his or her life span.
Consider the four main sources of male sexual health:
- Lifestyle;
- Prophylactic drugs: herbal and vitamin complexes;
- Folk medicine;
- Exercise.
Lifestyle
How we live, what we eat, and what we do has a direct impact on our health.
Some things are hard to change, like where we live.
In modern cities, the air and environment are so polluted that they pose a direct threat to our health.
Therefore, the first step in disease prevention will move to a better living condition. Naturally, this is also the most difficult moment.
If this seems impossible, then you should follow the basics of other men's health.
We will also include sex here. No matter how you do it, the main thing is that the prostate empties periodically, and you, at the same time, are not infected with anything.
Nutrition
Prostatitis prevention and proper nutrition are inseparable.
How is nutrition related to the prostate? It seems that the prostate is in the lower part of the body, and the mouth and abdomen are higher.
Prostate health is affected by the body's water-salt balance, blood flow strength and blood vessel wall conditions.
Foods directly affect all of these and both can improve prostate health and worsen it.
The term "healthy eating" refers to the intake of foods of natural origin, without the addition of artificial additives (preservatives, colors, "vegetable fats").
Note that this is not enough to eat healthy. Unfortunately, what makes us happy is often bad for the stomach.
We are used to eating spicy, salty and spicy foods, so we forget the taste of food without additives. But the natural taste is pleasant.
For the health of the prostate and the whole body, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with eating light salty foods, which do not contain, or have a little hot spice, pepper.
Forget that there is mayonnaise, replace it with vegetable oil. Forget fast food, hamburgers, nuggets.
More vegetables, more fruit, less fatty meats. And everything will be fine.
Ideally, if you know roughly your daily calorie intake and stick to those values when choosing the right foods. Then you will not be overweight, and the body will stay young longer.
Water - Drink as much liquid as you like. To do this, place a glass of water on your desk or next to where you are sitting.
You will not realize how quickly this glass will be empty. Now remember how rarely do you go to fetch water? Paradox.
Water must be close, then you will drink as much as you need. By the way, drinking water by sipping is much better than a sip. It has been proven that drinking your daily water intake in some degree is much harder than drinking one a day.
Hardening
In this case, we strengthen the immune system and increase blood flow in the body.
The effect of the hardening procedure on the prostate is very positive.
Internal blood circulation is stimulated, stagnation in the glands is eliminated, mood increases.
Therefore, hardening is also included in a healthy lifestyle.
Exercise and be active
Exercise is the key to a long and healthy life. Driving blood through the body is a prerequisite for our well-being, this is a key condition for the prevention of prostatitis.
Because of this stagnation of blood and the accumulation of calories it is caused by most diseases related to age, overweight, fatigue and fatigue throughout the body.
We will consider special training for prostatitis shortly, now we will give some general tips:
- Walk every day! Someone says you have to walk at least 8 km a day. We believe that this is a lot, and not everyone will master a marathon like that. Therefore, we will reduce this figure by half. The main thing is that you walk. If your foot hurts, the more you have to walk. Better with a special stick.
- Walk fast or run several times a week.
- Visit the sauna and bath. Carefully and without fanaticism, if needed by a doctor. Everything is simple in moderation.
- Remember, it is not the number of kilometers you cover in an important day, but the routine. Who gets more - a beginner, tired on the third day of walking, or someone who walks fast in the park every day?
Prophylactic drugs
Supplements
Note that for prophylaxis, medicines containing herbal ingredients or extracts from the prostate gland are used.
The action of these drugs is intended to stimulate the work of the human prostate, eliminate stagnation and increase the production of fluid secretions.
Prophylactic agents are available in the form of rectal suppositories, solutions for microclucers and oral tablets.
Vitamin
Let's take a look at what vitamins are needed to:
- Vitamin A - prevention of prostate adenoma;
- Vitamin D - its deficiency in men over the age of 55 requires them to use it in addition. Improves the function of the circulatory system, normalizes blood flow;
- Vitamins E and K - reduce the risk of prostate cancer.
Such vitamins can not only provide prevention of prostatitis, but can also cure chronic abacterial processes that have not yet begun.
Medications for prostate inflammation are not recommended for personal use.
This is not a supplement, so its use can adversely affect the body.
Please understand this and see a 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. Just 25-30 seeds a day and a half hours before eating.
Can be used together with honey: 500 grams of pumpkin seeds should be crushed and mixed with 200 grams of honey. We roll the balls from the resulting porridge and eat 1-2 balls a day. It is best to dissolve.
Hazel bark and leaves - you need to brew for 15-40 minutes (skin is longer, the leaves are smaller), drink a glass of broth during the day on an empty stomach.
Chestnut shells can be brewed and drunk as tea. The inside of chestnuts should be mixed.
Elderberry juice can be drunk before meals in the amount of one tablespoon, after drinking a glass of water.
Propolis and honey are excellent medicines to prevent prostate inflammation. Eat them with food.
Green is considered very useful for prostate health: parsley, dill. Ginger root, brewed in boiling water, can be added to tea in 1-2 teaspoons.
Massage and exercise
Sort
Before we talk about physical exercise, we note that transrectal prostate massage is beneficial for prostate health. For prevention, such a massage is enough for 2-3 minutes.
To avoid self-harm, buy a special prostate masseuse at a sex salon or pharmacy. Or periodically, once a month, see the best specialist for a massage.
Exercises
Prostate health requires specialized training. There is the Kegel complex which aims to contract the internal muscles of the pelvis.
This complex is more often used by men to prolong sexual intercourse than as prophylaxis for the prostate.
The bottom line is simple: you need to stretch and relax your perineum muscles up to 30-45 times in one complex.
Excessive arousal can cause rectal prolapse, unwanted bowel movements and the appearance of inguinal hernias.
The following is a list of exercises that use the internal pelvic muscles:
- Stand with feet together, arms at your sides. Try to breathe until as you inhale, the pelvis shifts backwards, and there is tension in it. Relax as you exhale. Repeat this exercise 10-15 times slowly and without jerking.
- Lying on the floor with the back, legs together, hands resting on the floor at the level of the lower back. Lift your legs 10-15 times perpendicular to the floor and lower back. Exercise is done smoothly and without jerking.
- Stand in a "lying with your hands" position, as in a push-up, lift the pelvis as high as possible, then lower to the floor. Repeat 10-15 times. This exercise is performed by the yogi to open the sex chakra and stimulate masculine strength.
- Stand with your hands hanging on your hips. Imagine that you really want to use the toilet, but you still have to last a long time. Tension as if you want to keep everything to yourself. Take a break. This is a complex analogue of Kegel.
Infection Protection
This preventative measure means taking steps to prevent and spread the disease, especially sexually transmitted diseases.
STD is a number of diseases, the main means of transmission is through the mucous membranes of the genital organs from one person to another.
The cause of the inflammatory process in such cases is bacteria and viruses that live a parasitic lifestyle exclusively in the host cell.
Along with prostatitis, these microorganisms cause infertility in both men and women, inflammation of the upper and lower urinary tract, and the "floor" of the reproductive system.
To prevent PMS, follow these guidelines:
- Protected sex, a careful choice of sexual partners. Avoid free sex, do not be like animals. Such fun can end your future life.
- Before starting a close relationship, you and your partner need to undergo an STD test. This is a worthwhile investment that will keep you safe from unknown infections and increase trust in your relationship.
- Infections can be transmitted not only by classical sex methods, but by everything else. At first glance, harmless entertainment - oral sex, can cause men to have sexually transmitted diseases if women do such things with other partners. The mucous membrane of the mouth is an excellent carrier for microbial agents.
- If you are having unprotected sexual intercourse (no matter what), use genital antiseptics, treat the mucous membranes of the penis and nearby skin areas, and pour the medicine into the urethra for a few minutes. This is not a guarantee of safety, but the risk of the disease is reduced several times.
Therefore, attention to sex, selectiveness and fidelity is a guarantee of male sexual health.
Prophylaxis of prostatitis is the key to your man's health. Everyone knows that this is self-confidence and a good mood, the absence of a humble complex. It is a long and happy life.
Prostatitis is not unavoidable, but it is possible. How you spend your old age is up to you. If you do not pay attention to your body, lead a wrong lifestyle, old age will come to you at the age of 30 years.
