Prostatitis develops after forty, and sometimes thirty years, when a man is most active at work and in the family, and a drop in potency can significantly impair his self-confidence, not only in love, but in all areas of life. Prostatitis itself is not contagious, but one of its causes is that sexually transmitted infections can spread to a patient’s sexual partners.
The main reasons
There are several factors that contribute to the development of prostatitis and the resulting reduction in potency:
- Stagnation in the prostate. This is one of the main causes of prostatitis. Irregular or promiscuous sex life contributes to the stagnation of secrecy, and a sedentary lifestyle, lack of physical activity cause blood stagnation. The result of both processes is the same - swelling of the prostate, increased pressure in it and violation of its functions (production of secretions and regulation of ejaculation).
- Uncomfortable temperature conditions of external genitalia. Overheating and hypothermia negatively affect men's health, tight underwear and uncomfortable pants also have a bad effect on potency. All this reduces the viability of sperm.
- Sexually transmitted infections. This is another danger of disturbed sexual life. The onset of infection on the background of prostate congestion leads to inflammation, sometimes with serious consequences.
Prevention measures
Prevention of prostatitis in men should begin in childhood with the formation of hygienic skills in boys, the ability to choose the right underwear and dress according to the weather. These are the main points that will allow you to be less susceptible to harmful effects on the prostate in the future.
In young men and adult men, the prevention of prostatitis consists of a regular sexual life, preferably with the same partner, physical exercise and a healthy diet. It is important to get tested regularly for sexually transmitted infections and treat them on time, especially if the man often has unprotected intercourse. It should not be protected by the method of interrupted intercourse - this leads to stagnation of prostate secretion, moreover, this is far from the most reliable method of contraception.
There are special exercises for the prevention of prostatitis, they are quite simple and most of them can be performed without getting up from the chair. The essence of these exercises is to strain and relax the various muscle groups of the perineum, which eliminates blood stasis in the prostate and other organs of the pelvis. Also useful are hiking, running, squats, sports (football, volleyball, basketball), in winter - skiing and skating.
Potency-enhancing drugs, such as the well-known Viagra, can also be considered to prevent prostatitis in men, but only if the dose is strictly adhered to. Overdoses, as well as the use of Viagra without subsequent sexual intercourse, on the contrary, lead to stagnation of prostate secretions and increase the risk of prostatitis. Medicines used in our country to prevent prostatitis and increase potency have the status of dietary supplements, ie they are not considered medicines and are not subject to certification. This includes domestic products such as Men Support and Prost Plus, American medicines - So Palmetto and Pro Formula and many others.
To prevent acute prostatitis from becoming chronic, it is important to cure sexually transmitted infections in a timely and complete manner, avoid unprotected sexual intercourse with casual partners, and treat acute prostatitis in a timely manner.
Treatment
If prostatitis is diagnosed, it needs to be treated as soon as possible, because acute prostatitis that is not cured in time tends to become chronic. To do this, use the medications available in tablets. In addition, rectal suppositories are used - they alleviate inflammation in acute prostatitis or exacerbation of chronic, reduce prostate swelling due to congestion, anesthetize surrounding tissues and contribute to the fastest delivery of active substance in the prostate through the rectal wall. You can take them on the recommendation of a doctor, even at home.
Transrectal prostate massage is also used to treat and prevent prostatitis. The simplest method is digital, when the index finger or middle finger is inserted into the rectum in a glove lubricated with a special water-based lubricant, the lower lobe of the prostate is determined by touch and several intense pressures are applied to it. The upper parts of the gland are not affected during the massage. Due to the inconvenience of the finger method and the nausea associated with it, there are simulators for prostate massage.
Exercises for the prevention of prostatitis do not lose their value, they speed up the healing process, and they are also the prevention of chronic prostatitis, which can occur in acute prostatitis that is not completely cured.
Treating prostatitis at home includes a healthy diet - vegetables rich in fiber, lean meat and fish, plenty of fluids, limiting alcohol, especially beer. Moderate physical activity and regular sexual activity are preferred. Folk remedies are used: resorption of balls from pumpkin and honey seeds, elderberry juice, decoction of hazelnut leaves and bark, chestnut shells. However, the described recommendations are more prevention of prostatitis in men than its treatment. Folk methods allow you to maintain health and well-being for longer.
All methods of prevention and treatment of prostatitis are effective in combination, the use of any medicine will not give an immediate effect, so it is important to use them together and best of all - according to the doctor's instructions.
