Prostatitis is a common disease characterized by various therapeutic methods. In other words, there is no single treatment regimen that is equally effective for different forms of this pathology.
For different categories of patients, the same tool can be both very productive and completely useless. However, doctors agree: home treatment of prostatitis is one of the mandatory stages of a comprehensive program to restore men's health. So, let's get acquainted with the most popular methods and treat insidious prostatitis at home!
Can I be treated at home?
It is no secret that a person seeks professional help only when all the folk remedies are tested at home. This approach is fundamentally wrong - it is necessary to seek professional help immediately after the appearance of unpleasant symptoms (discomfort in the groin area, painful frequent urination, weakened erection). And the appointment of a doctor can be combined with subsequent treatment at home. Moreover, there are many time-tested ways to overcome this disease. Remember: amateur performance is prohibited on such an important issue as your own well-being, and "grandmother's" methods should be supplemented with medication prescribed by a specialist.
Summarizing all of the above, we can emphasize that it is possible to treat chronic prostatitis at home. However, it is still not worth forgetting the existence of modern medical developments aimed at protecting men's health.
Simple but powerful recipes
When the question of how to treat prostatitis at home, they remember the simplest thing - pumpkin seeds. The healing properties of pumpkin seeds are legendary. Ancient physicians 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 in the daily menu of men, regardless of age. In the treatment of prostatitis only 30 pumpkin seeds per day (one time before meals) - and a positive result will not wait long. 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 kilogram of pumpkin seeds, pass them through a meat grinder and add 200 grams of honey. Mix the resulting mass and make walnut-sized balls. You can store the medicine in the refrigerator. Patients with prostatitis should eat 1-2 such balls a day before meals.
A sweet meal should be chewed thoroughly. Please note that the seeds do not need to be fried. 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. Remove the chestnut peels with needles and cover with boiling water. Infuse the broth for an hour and then as a tea. In addition, enemas are made with the extracted solution.
Mature chestnuts will help to get rid of chronic prostatitis:
- Peel a squash, grate it and pour boiling water (300 ml). Leave on overnight.
- Strain the solution in the morning and place in a water bath.
- Pour the remaining 200 ml into a dark glass.
Take 30 drops 3 times daily before meals. The course of treatment for prostatitis is 2 months. It takes at least 3 courses to completely cure prostatitis.
Benefits of juices
It turned out that chronic prostatitis at home is treated with more "tasty" methods. For this, for example, juices that are more pleasant than a decoction of chestnut are used. Although the use of freshly squeezed juices promotes the release of uric acid, it causes the development of the disease without getting a flow. Asparagus, beets, carrots, cucumbers are especially good for treating with juices at home. Asparagus deserves special praise from men. However, the volume of juices consumed during the day should be at least half a liter.
You can also treat prostatitis at home with the help of black elderberry juice. Early in the morning, on an empty stomach, drink 1 tbsp. The course is 10 days. It is recommended to add a little table vinegar to the water to preserve the beneficial properties of the drink. Please note: an increase in body temperature is possible. This is completely normal and shows that the treatment is effective.
Prostate massage
Prostate massage at home helps to treat even the most advanced forms of the disease in men. The procedure can not be called pleasant, but the high effectiveness of the therapeutic effect forces you to forget about worries and tune in to a positive mood.
What explains the positive effect? Why is massage at home placed as a forced manipulation that almost leads to recovery? Let's understand. Massage not only gets rid of bacterial prostatitis (chronic), but also helps to safely eliminate other forms (viral, mixed, gonorrheal). Massage:
- normalizes blood circulation in the prostate gland;
- improves prostate muscle tone;
- ensures the correct release of the secret;
- increases the effectiveness of treatment of men with antibiotics and other antibacterial drugs.
But unknowingly massaging at home can be harmful. In particular, it is naive to believe that this procedure is performed independently without the help of a urologist or andrologist. Massage should only be performed by a licensed specialist. The only thing is that at home, for most people, it is easier to decide than a public or private medical institution.
Prostate massage is one of the most commonly used treatments for inflammation.
Like other medical manipulations, home prostate massage has a number of contraindications. For example, massage will not work in the presence of acute bacterial prostatitis, chronic prostatitis with signs of malignant lesions, cysts and stones in the prostate gland.
In terms of indications, asymptomatic prostatitis, chronic pelvic pain syndrome, sexual disorders and massage are prescribed to prevent drug reactions. In addition, massage is needed to obtain prostate secretions for research purposes.
Apparatus for the treatment of prostatitis
Special devices will allow men to get rid of tired trips to the clinic and treat prostatitis at home.
These devices work on different principles and are therefore classified as follows:
- Vibration effect. Thanks to microvibration, the blockage of the prostate gland is eliminated, muscle tone is increased and the symptoms of urinary tract irritation are eliminated.
- Electrical effects. It is aimed at stimulating tissues with modulated currents through rectal or skin electrodes.
- Magnetic effect. The magnetic device has a decongestant, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect.
- Laser effect. Such devices are treated with infrared radiation.
It is impossible not to mention the devices themselves. In the modern medical equipment market, there are many devices for physiotherapy procedures at home.
Drug treatment
Drug treatment is another mandatory substance in the treatment of prostatitis. It is understandable that medical methods are more relevant than ever. Even the most innovative developments and massage can not compete with the achievements of pharmacology. Only antibiotics are allowed to get rid of tuberculosis, gonorrheal prostatitis and prostatitis caused by ureaplasmas and mycoplasmas.
Prostatitis requires a carefully thought-out prescription regimen. Sometimes home remedies are delayed for several months. It all depends on the form and severity of the process. Thus, the treatment of chronic prostatitis in men is more difficult than acute. In any case, the drug should be prescribed by a doctor, taking into account the individual characteristics of the organism.
You can not take any medication 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 ignore the recommendations of specialists and follow the recommendations of the attending physician.
Bless you!
