Prostatitis is a common disease characterized by a wide variety of therapeutic methods. In other words, there is no single treatment regimen that is equally effective for different forms of this pathology.
The same remedy for different categories of patients can be both very productive and completely useless. However, doctors agree: treatment of prostatitis at home is one of the mandatory stages of a comprehensive program for restoring male health. So, let's get acquainted with the most popular methods and cure insidious prostatitis at home!
Can I be treated at home?
It is no secret that a person requires qualified help only when all folk remedies have been tried at home. This approach is fundamentally wrong - it is worth resorting to the help of specialists immediately after detecting unpleasant symptoms (discomfort in the groin area, painful frequent urination, weakening of the erection). And the appointment of a doctor can subsequently be combined with treatment at home. Furthermore, there are many time-tested ways to eliminate this disease. Remember: amateur performance in such an important matter as your well-being is prohibited, and "grandmother" methods must be supplemented with drug therapy prescribed by a professional.
Summarizing all of the above, we can emphasize: it is possible to cure chronic prostatitis at home. But forgetting the existence of modern medical developments aimed at preserving men's health is still not worth it.
Simple but powerful recipes
When the question arises of how to treat prostatitis at home, they remember the simplest thing - pumpkin seeds. The healing properties of pumpkin seeds are legendary. Ancient healers actively used them to treat all forms of prostatitis. The fact is that this product contains a large amount of zinc, an element that should be present in the daily menu of men, regardless of age. Only 30 pumpkin seeds every day (at a time before meals) in the treatment of prostatitis - and a positive result will not be long in coming. Even an advanced chronic process is treated in this way.
It is possible to treat the disease at home using the same starting material, but in a different way. You need to peel half a kilo of pumpkin seeds, pass them through a meat grinder and add 200 grams of honey. Mix the resulting mass and form balls the size of a walnut. You can store the medicine in the refrigerator. Patients with prostatitis should eat 1-2 such balls per day before meals.
A sweet treat must be chewed thoroughly. Keep in mind that it is not necessary to fry the seeds. It is enough to repeat these methods once a year and chronic prostatitis will no longer bother you.
Another popular method is the treatment of chestnuts. Take the chestnut shells with needles and cover with boiling water. Let the broth steep for an hour and then drink it as a tea. Also, enemas are made with the resulting solution.
Ripe chestnuts will help get rid of chronic prostatitis:
- Separate the peel, chop and pour boiling water (300 ml). Leave it overnight.
- In the morning, strain the solution and put it in a water bath.
- Pour the remaining 200ml into a dark bottle.
Take 30 drops 3 times a day before meals. The duration of the treatment course for prostatitis is 2 months. To completely cure prostatitis, you will need at least 3 courses.
The benefits of juices
It turns out that chronic prostatitis at home can be cured by more "tasty" methods. For this, juices are used, which are much more pleasant to drink than, for example, a decoction of chestnuts. Although the use of freshly squeezed juices promotes the release of uric acid, which, without receiving an outflow, leads to the development of the disease. For the treatment with juices at home, asparagus, beets, carrots, cucumbers are especially good. Asparagus deserves special praise from men. True, the volume of juices drunk during the day should be at least half a liter.
You can also cure prostatitis at home with the help of black elderberry juice. It should be taken early in the morning, on an empty stomach, 1 tbsp. The course lasts 10 days. To preserve the beneficial properties of the drink, it is recommended to add a little table vinegar to the juice. Note: An increase in body temperature is possible. This is completely normal and indicates that the treatment is effective.
Prostate massage
Prostate massage at home helps treat even the most advanced forms of the disease in men. The procedure cannot be called pleasant, but the high efficiency of the therapeutic effect makes you forget the discomfort and tune in to a positive mood.
So what explains the positive effect? Why is massage at home positioned almost as a mandatory manipulation leading to recovery? Let's find out. Massage helps not only to get rid of bacterial (chronic) prostatitis, but also to safely eliminate other forms (viral, mixed, gonorrhea). It's a massage:
- normalizes blood circulation in the prostate gland;
- improves prostate muscle tone;
- ensures the correct flow of the secret;
- increases the effectiveness of treating men with antibiotics and other antibacterial drugs.
However, unknowingly, home massage can be harmful. In particular, it is naive to believe that this procedure is done independently, without the help of a urologist or andrologist. The massage should only be performed by a licensed specialist. The only thing: in a home setting, for the majority, it is much easier to decide on this than in a public or private medical institution.
Prostate massage is one of the commonly used treatments for inflammation.
Like any other medical manipulation, prostate massage at home has a number of contraindications. For example, massage will not give results in connection with acute bacterial prostatitis, chronic prostatitis with signs of malignant lesions, in the presence of cysts and stones in the prostate gland.
As for the indications, massage is prescribed for asymptomatic prostatitis, chronic pelvic pain syndrome, sexual dysfunction and lack of response to drug treatment. In addition, massage is required to obtain prostate secretions for research purposes.
Apparatus for the treatment of prostatitis
To save men from boring trips to the clinic and to treat prostatitis at home, they will allow special devices.
These devices work according to different principles and are therefore classified as follows:
- Vibration effect. Thanks to microvibration, congestion of the prostate gland is eliminated, muscle tone increases and symptoms of urinary tract irritation are relieved.
- Electric impact. Intended for the stimulation of tissues with modulated currents through rectal or skin electrodes.
- Magnetic impact. The magnetic device has a decongestant, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect.
- Laser exposure. Such devices are treated with infrared radiation.
It is impossible not to mention the devices themselves. On the modern market of medical equipment, there are a large number of devices for physiotherapy procedures at home.
Pharmacological therapy
Drug treatment is another mandatory element in the treatment of prostatitis. It is quite understandable that medical methods are more relevant than ever. Even the most innovative developments and massage cannot compete with the results of pharmacology. To get rid of tuberculous prostatitis, gonorrheal and prostatitis caused by ureaplasm and mycoplasma, only antibiotics allow.
Prostatitis requires a carefully thought out prescribing regimen. Sometimes taking medications at home is delayed for several months. It all depends on the form and severity of the process. Hence, chronic prostatitis in men is much more difficult to cure than acute. In any case, drugs should be prescribed by a doctor, taking into account the individual characteristics of the organism.
You can not take drugs without consulting a specialist, otherwise the situation will get worse. As you can see, prostatitis can be treated at home, the main thing is not to neglect the advice of professionals and follow the recommendations of the attending physician.
Be healthy!
