Prostatitis is a common disease characterized by a wide variety of treatment methods. In other words, there is no single treatment regimen that is as effective for different forms of this condition.
The same remedy for different categories of patients can be both very productive and totally unnecessary. However, doctors agree: treating prostatitis at home is one of the mandatory steps in a comprehensive male health recovery program. 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 asks for 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 the detection of unpleasant symptoms (discomfort in the groin area, frequent painful urination, weakening of an erection). And the appointment of a doctor can then be combined with home treatment. In addition, there are many proven methods to eliminate this disease. Remember: amateur performance in an area as important as your own well-being is prohibited, and "grandmother's" methods must be supplemented by professionally prescribed drug therapy.
To sum up all of the above, we can emphasize that it is possible to treat chronic prostatitis at home. But forgetting the existence of modern medical developments aimed at preserving human 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 their age. Only 30 pumpkin seeds per day (both before meals) in the treatment of prostatitis - and a positive result will not be long in coming. Even an advanced chronic process is cured 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 form balls the size of a walnut. You can store the medicine in the refrigerator. Patients with prostatitis should eat 1 to 2 of these balls a day before meals.
A sweet treat should be chewed well. Please note that you don't need to fry the seeds. Just repeat these methods once a year - and chronic prostatitis will no longer bother you.
Another popular method is the processing of chestnuts. Take the chestnut shells with needles and cover them with boiling water. Steep the broth for an hour, then drink it like tea. Further, enemas are performed with the resulting solution.
Ripe chestnuts will help get rid of chronic prostatitis:
- Separate the skin, chop it and pour boiling water (300 ml). Leave it on overnight.
- In the morning, filter the solution and place it in a water bath.
- Pour the remaining 200 ml into a dark bottle.
Take 30 drops 3 times a day before meals. The duration of treatment 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 with 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 a discharge, leads to the development of the disease. For the processing of juices at home, asparagus, beets, carrots, cucumbers are especially good. Asparagus deserves special praise from men. True, the volume of juice drunk during the day should be at least half a liter.
You can also treat prostatitis at home using black elderberry juice. It should be taken early in the morning, on an empty stomach, 1 tbsp. The course lasts 10 days. To maintain the beneficial properties of the drink, it is recommended to add a little table vinegar to the juice. Please note: a rise in body temperature is possible. This is quite normal and indicates that the treatment is working.
Prostate massage
Home prostate massage helps 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 makes you forget about discomfort and put you in a good mood.
So what explains the positive effect? Why is massage at home positioned almost as a compulsory manipulation leading to recovery? Let's find out. Massage not only helps get rid of bacterial (chronic) prostatitis, but also safely eliminates other forms (viral, mixed, gonorrhea). It's a massage:
- normalizes blood circulation in the prostate;
- improves prostate muscle tone;
- ensures the correct exit of the secret;
- increases the effectiveness of treatment of men with antibiotics and other antibacterial drugs.
However, without realizing it, massage at home can be harmful. In particular, it is naive to believe that this procedure is carried out independently, without the help of a urologist or andrologist. The massage should only be performed by a licensed specialist. The only thing: in a family environment, for the majority, it is much easier to decide on this than in a public or private medical establishment.
One of the commonly used treatments for inflammation is prostate massage.
Like any other medical manipulation, home prostate massage has a number of contraindications. For example, massage will not give results when it comes to acute bacterial prostatitis, chronic prostatitis with signs of malignant lesions, in the presence of cysts and stones in the prostate.
As for the indications, massage is prescribed for asymptomatic prostatitis, chronic pelvic pain syndrome, sexual dysfunctions and the lack of response to drug therapy. Also, massage is needed to get the secretions from the prostate for research purposes.
Apparatus for the treatment of prostatitis
To save men from tedious trips to the clinic and to treat prostatitis at home, special devices will allow this.
These devices operate on different principles and are therefore classified as follows:
- Vibration effect. Thanks to microvibration, prostate congestion is removed, muscle tone is increased, and symptoms of urinary tract irritation are relieved.
- Electric impact. Intended to stimulate tissues with modulated currents through rectal or skin electrodes.
- Magnetic impact. The magnetic device has a decongestant, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect.
- Laser exposure. These devices are treated with infrared radiation.
It is impossible not to mention the devices themselves. In the modern market of medical equipment, there are a large number of devices for home physiotherapy procedures.
Drug therapy
Another mandatory element in the treatment of prostatitis is drug treatment. It is quite understandable that medical methods are more relevant than ever. Even the most innovative developments and massages cannot compete with the achievements of pharmacology. To get rid of tuberculous prostatitis, gonorrhea, as well as prostatitis caused by ureaplasms and mycoplasmas, only antibiotics allow.
Prostatitis requires a carefully thought out prescription regimen. Sometimes home medication is delayed for several months. It all depends on the form and severity of the process. Thus, chronic prostatitis in men is much more difficult to cure than acute prostatitis. In any case, drugs should be prescribed by a doctor, taking into account the individual characteristics of the organism.
You can not take any medicine without consulting a specialist, otherwise the situation will only worsen. 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.
To be in a good health!
