Today we are going to talk about the prevention of prostatitis in men, what medicines and folk remedies can use, about vitamins and the right diet.
Outline of the cause of the disease
Prostatitis, or prostatitis, 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.
After the above, the prevention of prostatitis has two goals:
- Take measures to prevent blockages inside the prostate gland.
- Protects against infections.
Preventing Lag
Prostatitis prophylaxis includes many preventive and therapeutic measures, not only preventing prostatitis but also improving quality of life, extending life expectancy.
Consider the four main sources of male sexual health:
- Lifestyle;
- The drug has a preventive effect: herbal complexes and vitamins;
- Folk remedies;
- Exercises.
Lifestyle
The way we live, what we eat and what we do have a direct impact on our health.
There are things that are difficult to change, such as where we live.
In a modern city, the air and environment are so dirty that they pose a direct threat to our health.
So the first step in preventing any disease would be transition to a more favorable living condition. Of course, this is also the most difficult time.
If this seems impossible, then you need to strictly adhere to the rest of men's health basics.
We will also be covering sex here. It doesn't matter how you do it, the main thing is that the prostate is constantly emptying and you, at the same time, don't get infected with anything.
Nutrition
Prevention of prostatitis and proper nutrition are inseparable.
How is nutrition related to the prostate gland? It seems that the prostate gland is at the bottom of the body, and the mouth and stomach are taller.
The health of the prostate gland is influenced by the body's salt-water balance, the strength of the blood flow and the condition of the blood vessel walls.
Food directly affects all of these and can both improve prostate health and exacerbate it.
The term "healthy eating" refers to the consumption of foods of natural origin, without the addition of artificially created additives (preservatives, colors, "vegetable fats").
Note that this is not enough for healthy eating. Unfortunately, what pleases our taste buds is often not good for our stomachs.
We are used to eating spicy, salty and spicy, completely forgetting the taste of food without any flavoring. But the natural taste is pleasant.
For the health of the prostate gland and the whole body, it is necessary to practice the habit of eating foods with light salt, with little or no spicy spices, pepper.
Forget that there is mayonnaise, let's replace it with vegetable oil. Forget fast food, hamburgers, nuggets.
More vegetables, more fruit, less meat. And everything will be fine.
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 your body will be younger for longer.
Water - Drink as much liquid as you like. To do this, place a cup of water on your desk or next to where you are sitting.
You won't notice how quickly this cup will drain. Now remember you rarely go for water? Paradox.
The water should be nearby, then you will drink as much as you like. By the way, having a gulp of water is much better than a sip. It has been shown that drinking your daily water intake during some periods is much more difficult than taking a sip of the day.
Hardening
In this case, we strengthen the immune system and increase blood flow in the body.
The impact of prostate hardening procedures is very positive.
Internal blood circulation is stimulated, the stagnation inside the gland is eliminated, the mood is elated.
Therefore, hard work is also incorporated into a healthy lifestyle.
Exercise and move
Exercise is the key to a long and healthy life. Bringing blood around the body is a prerequisite for our health, it is the main condition for preventing prostatitis.
Because of the stagnation of blood gases and accumulation of many calories, most diseases related to age, overweight, fatigue and sluggishness arise.
We will be looking at exercises specifically for prostatitis after a little while, now we will give some general tips:
- Walk every day! Someone says you need to walk at least 8 kilometers per day. We believe this is a lot, and not everyone will be proficient at such a marathon. Hence, we will halve this number. The main thing is that you walk. If your leg hurts, the more you will need to walk. Better with special sticks.
- Take a brisk walk or run several times a week.
- Visit the saunas and showers. Be cautious and not fanatic, if the doctor tells you to. Everything is fine in moderation.
- Remember, it is not the number of kilometers you travel in a day but it matters. Who gets through more - a beginner, tired on the third day of walking, or a brisk walker in the park every day?
Preventive drugs
functional foods
Note that for prophylaxis, drugs containing herbal ingredients or bovine prostate extracts are used.
The effects of these drugs are aimed at stimulating the activity of the human prostate gland, eliminating stagnation and increasing secretion production.
Preventive medicine is available in the form of rectal suppositories, a solution for bacteria, and oral tablets.
Vitamins
Let us briefly note the essential vitamin:
- Vitamin A - prevents prostate tumors; Vitamin D
- - its deficiency in men over 55 simply forces them to take the supplement. Improves the functioning of the circulatory system, normalizes blood flow;
- Vitamins E and K - reduced risk of prostate cancer.
Such vitamins can not only prevent prostatitis but also cure chronic bacterial processes that have not yet begun.
Medication for prostatitis is not recommended for use alone.
This is not a supplement, so its use can have a negative effect on the body.
Please understand and consult your urologist.
Folk remedies for prevention
Traditional medicine is more suitable for the prevention of diseases and conditions.
Pumpkin seeds should be eaten raw every day. Enough 25-30 seeds per day half an hour before meals.
You can use them in combination with honey: 500 grams of crushed pumpkin seeds and mixed with 200 grams of honey. We rolled the pellets from the collected porridge and ate 1-2 capsules per day. We recommend dissolving.
Witch hazel bark and leaves - you need to incubate for 15-40 minutes (longer bark, smaller leaves), drink a glass of broth during the day on an empty stomach.
Chestnut pods can be brewed and drunk like a tea. The inside of chestnuts should be incubated.
Elderberry juice can be taken before meals in the amount of one tablespoon, after drinking a glass of water.
Propolis and honey are great home remedies for prostatitis. Consume them with food.
Green vegetables are considered to be very beneficial for prostate health: parsley, dill. Ginger root, brewed in boiling water, can be added to tea at a dosage of 1-2 teaspoons.
Massage and exercise
Massage
Before talking about exercise, we should note that massaging the prostate through the rectum is beneficial for prostate health. As a precaution, one massage is enough for 2-3 minutes.
In order not to torment yourself, buy a special prostate massage machine from a drugstore or sex store. Or often, once a month, see the best specialist for a massage.
Exercises
Prostate health requires specific exercises. There is a Kegel complex that is intended to contract the muscles inside the pelvis.
This complex is more commonly used by men to prolong sexual intercourse than as prophylaxis for the prostate gland.
The bottom line is simple: you need to stretch and relax the muscles of the perineum up to 30-45 times in one complex.
Excessive enthusiasm will lead to rectal prolapse, unwanted bowel movements and inguinal hernia.
Here is a list of exercises using the inner pelvic muscle:
- Stand on both feet, hands on either side. Try to breathe so that as you inhale, the pelvis moves backwards and tension inside it. Relax as you breathe out. Repeat this exercise 10-15 times slowly and without jerks.
- Lie on your back on the floor, legs interlocked, hands on the floor level with your lower back. Raise your legs 10-15 times perpendicular to the floor and lower your back. Exercise is done smoothly and without jerks.
- Stand in a "lying on your arm" position, like in a pushup, raise your pelvis as high as possible, then lower to the floor. Repeat 10-15 times. This exercise is practiced by the meditators to open the sex chakras and to stimulate masculine powers.
- Stand with your hands hanging around your hips. Imagine that you really want to use the toilet, but you still have to endure for a long time. Stress as if you want to keep everything to yourself. Relax. This is an analogue of the Kegel complex.
Protection against infections
This section of prevention measures implies taking measures to prevent and spread diseases, mainly sexually transmitted diseases.
STDs are a number of diseases, which are spread mainly through the mucous membranes of the genitals from one person to another.
The culprits of the inflammatory process in such cases are bacteria and viruses, which have a proprietary parasitic lifestyle in the host's cells.
Together with prostatitis, these microorganisms cause infertility in men and women, inflammation of the upper and lower urinary tract, and separate "layers" of the reproductive system.
To avoid STD, follow these guidelines:
- Protected sexual relations, choosing sexual partners carefully. Avoid promiscuous sex, don't be like an animal. Such fun could put an end to your future life.
- Before starting a close relationship, you and your partner will need to get tested for STDs. This is a worthy investment that will keep you safe from infections of unknown origin and create more confidence in your relationship.
- Can be spread not only through classic sex methods but also by all other methods. At first glance, harmless entertainment - oral sex, can make a man sexually ill if a woman practices them with another sexual partner. The mucous membrane of the mouth is an excellent carrier of microorganisms.
- If having unprotected sex (no matter what), taking a disinfectant of the genitals, taking care of the lining of the penis and surrounding skin areas, you also need to pour the medication into the urethra for a few minutes. This is not a guarantee of safety, but the risks of the disease are greatly reduced.
Therefore, attention to sex, selectivity and fidelity are the guarantees for men's sexual health.
Prevention of prostatitis is key to your male health. Everyone knows that this is both confidence and a good mood, with no inferiority complex. It was a long and happy life.
Prostatitis is not inevitable, but it is possible. How old you are is up to you. If you lack attention to your body, the wrong lifestyle, old age will come to you at the age of 30.
