Many men do not perform prostatitis therapy, explaining this by the lack of time to visit the clinic, the unsatisfactory conditions of public health institutions or simply by the fact that they are not willing to use the services of a doctor in such cases. In this article, you will learn how home treatment of prostatitis can quickly get rid of this unpleasant disease.
In recent decades, the incidence of prostatitis and the number of men suffering from this disease have increased tremendously. Medical research data is very disappointing: almost half of forty-year-olds are diagnosed with various forms of glandular inflammation.
And if earlier, with complaints typical of prostatitis, people approaching the age of fifty usually consulted a doctor, but now the age limit for the disease has been significantly reduced, and more and more patients are barely thirty years old.
Moreover, these are only the data of official medical statistics, but in reality everything is much worse. After all, very few people try with their last strength not to pay attention to their illness, but to consult a doctor in time, so they often notice the presence of prostatitis already in the hospital, where a person is admitted due to a serious illness. complications occurred. This can be explained by the fact that the early stages of the disease are often asymptomatic or involve minor discomfort, which is tolerable.
But even if a man still decided to go to a urologist, learned about the diagnosis and the necessary therapy, he will probably be carefully treated only until the acute symptoms disappear and the condition normalizes. The traditional admonitions of doctors are that, according to them, this is not all, that the treatment should be continued, even if the painful symptoms have already weakened or even completely disappeared, that if you do not finish the treatment, the disease will return, etc. - for most patients it is nothing more than a shaking of empty air. The main reason why the therapy course does not end is the full work load and lack of time, not even to drive the nail at home and go to the clinic.
Only a doctor can decide on the possibility of self-treatment of prostatitis, after an examination, the necessary tests and the appointment of drug therapy. In addition, the specialist must regularly check the patient and monitor the treatment process.
Let's imagine an ideal (good, or almost ideal) picture: a man went to the doctor at the first warning symptoms, underwent all the tests and examinations, diligently follows all the recommendations, and is carefully treated. So far everything is going well, he is gradually feeling better and in the end he seems to be fully recovered.
But the doctor says that you still need to take medicine, do physical methods, etc. All of this takes time, which is already sorely lacking. But according to the specialist, if the therapy is not completed, sooner or later a relapse will occur. What to do if there is absolutely no possibility to visit the clinic regularly, but you need to be treated? Except for acute cases, prostatitis in men can be successfully treated at home, which will be discussed later.
How to get rid of prostatitis at home: effective methods
First of all, we reiterate that you can start self-treatment at home only after the attending physician answers all the questions related to your condition: what kind of disease you have and whether this or that treatment is possible with it, how the healing process is progressing, and whatstage, what exactly needs to be done to get rid of the disease completely.
And let's not forget that the home treatment of prostatitis is carried out first of all in order to make drug therapy as effective as possible, which is strictly forbidden to refuse too early.
Prevention of prostatitis in men involves the use of herbs, tinctures, fruit juices and other folk remedies at home. As well as doing regular exercise with a series of exercises aimed at improving the health of the prostate, traditional prostate massage with fingers >or using special tools. Now let's take a closer look at these methods.
medicinal plants
The useful substances, macro- and microelements found in plants help relieve inflammation, improve blood circulation, increase immunity and resistance to pathogens.
- Pumpkin seedsrich natural source of zinc, essential for prostate health. In order to supply the body with the required dose of the element, thirty dried seeds must be eaten before meals. You can make this medicine not only useful, but also tasty. To do this, peel a kilogram of seeds, twist them in a meat grinder, add two hundred grams of honey and mix well. We form small balls from this mass, put it in the refrigerator, and dissolve this candy thirty minutes before meals twice a day.
- poplar bark- the bark should be collected in the spring, when the leaves have not yet had time to bloom and the juices are actively moving along the tree. Pour one hundred grams of oven-dried and chopped bark with a glass of vodka and leave in a dark place for two weeks. Add twenty drops of tincture to half a glass of water and drink three times a day. This course should be followed for a few months.
- Parsley- helps reduce inflammation and restore sexual activity. Take a tablespoon of fruit juice thirty minutes before a meal. And ordinary tea (remember, it is not very useful for prostatitis) can be replaced with a decoction of parsley seeds, which must be ground in a coffee grinder, poured with water and boiled for about fifteen minutes.
- Propolis treatment- rectal suppositories with propolis are very effective in the treatment of prostatitis: they help relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and strengthen the immune system.
Prostate massage
This procedure is necessarily included in the complex of therapeutic measures. It is usually performed by a doctor in the clinic, but you can figure out the technique of massaging the gland and do it at home, alone or with the help of a loved one.
If you decide to perform prostate massage yourself, be sure to ask your doctor if there are any contraindications to this procedure and exactly how to do it effectively and safely.
To treat prostatitis at home, you can use a device that massages the organ and allows you to achieve noticeable positive results. As a result of the vibration, the local temperature rise and the electrical effect, muscle tone occurs, blood circulation is normalized, pain, swelling, and inflammation are reduced, and the healing process is accelerated.
A home treatment tool for prostatitis can be:
- transrectal- more effective due to the targeted effect on the gland through the rectum.
- non-invasive- is based on the effect of laser or infrared radiation on the body, combined with a magnetic field through the skin in the scrotum. The device does not need to be inserted into the rectum.
