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 the different forms of this pathology.
The same remedy for different categories of patients can be very productive and completely useless. However, doctors agree: treating prostatitis at home is one of the mandatory steps in a comprehensive program to restore male health. So, let's get to know the most popular methods and treat insidious prostatitis at home!
Can I be treated at home?
It is no secret that a person calls for qualified help only when all folk remedies have been tried at home. This approach is fundamentally wrong - it is worthwhile to seek help from specialists immediately after detecting unpleasant symptoms (discomfort in the groin area, pain when urinating frequently, weakening of an erection). And a doctor's consultation can later be combined with home treatment. In addition, there are many proven ways to eliminate this disease. Remember: amateur activity on a subject as important as your own well-being is prohibited, and the "grandmother's" methods must be complemented with medical therapy prescribed by a professional.
Summing up everything that was exposed, we can emphasize: it is possible to treat chronic prostatitis at home. But it is still not worth forgetting the existence of modern medical developments aimed at preserving men's health.
Simple yet 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 per 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 cured in this way.
It is possible to treat the disease at home with the same raw material, but in a different way. You should peel half a kilo of pumpkin seeds, pass them through a meat grinder and add 200 grams of honey. Mix the resulting dough and form balls the size of a walnut. You can store the medicine in the refrigerator. Prostatitis patients should eat 1-2 of these balls a day before meals.
A sweet treat must be chewed thoroughly. Note that you don't have to fry the seeds. Just repeat these methods once a year - and chronic prostatitis won't bother you anymore.
Another popular method is treatment with chestnuts. Take the nut shells with the needles and cover with boiling water. Infuse the broth for an hour and then drink it as tea. In addition, enemas are made with the resulting solution.
Ripe chestnuts help to get rid of chronic prostatitis:
- Separate the shells, chop and pour boiling water (300 ml). Leave overnight.
- In the morning, strain the solution and place 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 cycles.
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 enjoyable 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 drainage, leads to the development of the disease. For the treatment with juices at home, asparagus, beets, carrots and cucumbers are especially good. Asparagus deserves special praise from men. It is true that 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. 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. 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 to 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 about the discomfort and get in tune with a positive mood.
So, what explains the positive effect? Why is massage at home almost positioned as a mandatory manipulation that leads to recovery? Let's find out. Massage helps not only to eliminate bacterial (chronic) prostatitis, but also to safely eliminate other forms (viral, mixed, gonorrheic). It's massage:
- normalizes blood circulation in the prostate;
- improves the muscle tone of the prostate;
- guarantees the correct exit of the secret;
- increases the effectiveness of treating men with antibiotics and other antibacterial drugs.
However, without knowing it, 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 a domestic environment, for most, it is much easier to decide on this than in a public or private medical institution.
Prostate massage is one of the treatments commonly used for inflammation.
Like any other medical manipulation, prostate massage at home has several contraindications. For example, massage will not give results in relation 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 dysfunction and lack of response to drug treatment. In addition, massage is necessary to obtain secretions from the prostate for research purposes.
Apparatus for the treatment of prostatitis
To save men from tedious visits to the clinic and to treat prostatitis at home, special devices will allow.
These devices operate on different principles and are therefore classified as follows:
- Vibration effect. Thanks to microvibration, congestion of the prostate is eliminated, muscle tone is increased and symptoms of irritation of the urinary tract are relieved.
- Electrical impact. It is intended to stimulate tissues with modulated currents by means of 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 medical equipment market, there are a large number of devices for home physiotherapy procedures.
Drug therapy
Drug treatment is another mandatory item in the treatment of prostatitis. It is perfectly 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 and gonorrheic prostatitis, as well as prostatitis caused by ureaplasmas and mycoplasmas, only antibiotics allow it.
Prostatitis requires a carefully planned prescription regime. Sometimes taking medication at home takes several months. It all depends on the shape and severity of the process. Therefore, chronic prostatitis in men is much more difficult to cure than acute. In any case, medications must be prescribed by the 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 main thing is not to neglect the advice of professionals and follow the recommendations of the attending physician.
Be healthy!
