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 drug for different categories of patients can be both very productive and completely useless. However, doctors agree: the treatment of prostatitis at home is one of the mandatory stages of the overall program for the restoration of 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 qualified help only when all folk remedies are tested 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, painful frequent urination, weakening of the erection). And the appointment of a doctor can then be combined with treatment at home. In addition, there are many time-tested ways to eliminate this disease. Remember: amateur performance on such an important issue as your well-being is forbidden and "grandmother's" methods must be supplemented with drug therapy prescribed by a professional.
Summarizing all the above, we can emphasize: it is possible to treat chronic prostatitis at home. But forgetting the existence of modern medical developments aimed at protecting men's health is still not worth it.
Simple but powerful recipes
When the question arises how to treat prostatitis at home, they recall 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 (once before meals) in the treatment of prostatitis - and a positive result will not be late. 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 1-2 such balls a day before meals.
The sweet treat should be chewed thoroughly. Please note that you do not need 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 chestnut treatment. Take the chestnut shells with needles and cover them with boiling water. Pour the broth for an hour and then drink it as tea. Enemas are also made with the resulting solution.
Ripe chestnuts will help get rid of chronic prostatitis:
- Peel a squash, grate it and pour boiling water (300 ml) over it. Leave it overnight.
- In the morning strain the solution and place it in a water bath.
- Pour the remaining 200 ml into a dark bottle.
Take 30 drops 3 times daily 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. Juices are used for this, 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 treatment with juices at home, asparagus, beets, carrots, cucumbers are especially good. Asparagus deserves special praise from men. It is true that the volume of juices tested during the day should be at least half a liter.
You can also treat prostatitis at home with black elderberry juice. It should be taken early in the morning, on an empty stomach, 1 tbsp. The course is 10 days. To preserve the beneficial properties of the drink, it is recommended to add a little table vinegar to the juice. Please note: fever 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 efficiency of the therapeutic effect makes you forget about the discomfort and set 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 prostatitis (chronic), but also to safely remove other forms (viral, mixed, gonorrheal). This is a massage:
- normalizes blood circulation in the prostate gland;
- improves muscle tone of the prostate;
- ensures the correct leakage of the secret;
- increases the effectiveness of treatment of men with antibiotics and other antibacterial drugs.
Unconsciously, however, massage 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. The massage must be performed exclusively by a licensed specialist. The only thing: in the home environment for the majority it is much easier to decide than in a public or private medical institution.
Prostate massage is one of the most commonly used treatments for inflammation.
Like any other medical procedure, prostate massage at home has a number of contraindications. For example, massage will not give results in terms of 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. Also, massage is necessary to obtain prostate secretion for research purposes.
Apparatus for the treatment of prostatitis
To save men from annoying trips to the clinic and to treat prostatitis at home, will allow special devices.
These devices operate on different principles and are therefore classified as follows:
- Vibration effect. Thanks to the microvibration, congestion in the prostate gland is eliminated, muscle tone is increased and the symptoms of urinary tract irritation are relieved.
- Electrical impact. Aimed at stimulating tissues with modulated currents through rectal or skin electrodes.
- Magnetic impact. The magnetic device has decongestant, anti-inflammatory and analgesic action.
- Laser exposure. Such 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 physiotherapy procedures at home.
Drug therapy
Drug treatment is another mandatory element in the treatment of prostatitis. It is quite understandable that medical methods are more appropriate than ever. Even the most innovative developments and massage cannot compete with the achievements of pharmacology. To get rid of tuberculous, gonorrheal prostatitis, as well as prostatitis caused by ureaplasmas and mycoplasmas, allow only antibiotics.
Prostatitis requires a carefully considered prescribing regimen. Sometimes taking medication at home is delayed for several months. It all depends on the shape and severity of the process. So, chronic prostatitis in men is much more difficult to treat than acute. In any case, drugs must be prescribed by a doctor, taking into account the individual characteristics of the organism.
You cannot take any medication without consulting a specialist, otherwise the situation will only get worse. As you can see, prostatitis can be treated at home, the most important thing is not to ignore the advice of professionals and follow the recommendations of your doctor.
Be healthy!
