Effective exercises to fight prostatitis

The main principle of the treatment of prostatitis is an integrated approach. Not the last place of therapy is physical activity - special exercises will help speed up the recovery process. But they must be done correctly, according to technique and only after consulting the attending physician.

To completely get rid of diseases of the genitourinary system, a man needs complex treatment, which includes several measures. This includes physical exercises, of which many have been developed at the moment.

How does exercise affect the course of prostatitis?

The prostate gland consists of 3 lobes, between these lobes there is a space connecting to the urethra. Each lobe contains vesicular fibers and cortex, and the prostate is located below the bladder (sphincter). This whole system is tightly interconnected, so it works properly.

When the prostate is affected (for a variety of reasons, including a sedentary lifestyle, static posture), the fibers lose their elasticity, decrease in tone, and blood circulation is disrupted. As a result, blood is not supplied with the required intensity and in small quantities. This deprives the genitals of nutrients. As a result, the synthesis of new cells is slowed down, the local metabolism is weakened.

As the patient begins to lead an active lifestyle (doing special exercises for the pelvic organs), the following will happen:

  1. The blood supply to the genitourinary system is stimulated, against the background of which oxygen and other useful substances are supplied.
  2. The ability to function of nerve cells is restored (prostatitis often occurs in the context of stress).
  3. Stagnation in the prostate is eliminated.
  4. The muscles of the perineum and hip are strengthened, so that the sex organs return to the correct anatomical position.
  5. Metabolism is accelerated, the structure of the fibers is normalized.
  6. Tissues become more flexible.
  7. Inflammation is reduced.

The effectiveness of physical activity on prostatitis has been scientifically proven. The main cause of this disease is a blockage of the prostate gland due to a reduced blood supply.
