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 condition.
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 stages of a comprehensive program to restore male health. So, let's get acquainted with the most popular methods and treat insidious prostatitis at home!
Can you treat me at home?
It is no secret that a person requests qualified help only when all home 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 an erection). And a doctor's appointment can later be combined with home treatment. Also, there are many proven ways to eliminate this disease. Remember: amateur performance in a matter as important as your own well-being is prohibited, and "grandmother's" methods must be supplemented by professionally prescribed drug therapy.
Summarizing all of the above, we can emphasize: it is possible to treat chronic prostatitis at home. But forgetting about 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 - 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. Just 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 cured in this way.
It is possible to treat the disease at home using the same starting material, but in a different way. You must 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.
A sweet must be chewed well. Note 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 chestnut treatment. Take the chestnut shells with needles and cover them with boiling water. Infuse the broth for an hour and then drink it as tea. Also, enemas are made from the resulting solution.
Ripe chestnuts will help to get rid of chronic prostatitis:
- Separate the peel from them, chop and pour boiling water (300 ml). 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 a day before meals. The duration of the course 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, 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 juicing 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 treat prostatitis at home with the help of black elderberry juice. It should be taken early in the morning, on an empty stomach, 1 tablespoon. 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: an increase in body temperature is possible. This is completely normal and indicates that the treatment is effective.
Prostate massage
Home prostate massage 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 about discomfort and tune into 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, gonorrheal). It is massage:
- normalizes blood circulation in the prostate gland;
- improves the muscle tone of the prostate;
- ensures the correct exit of the secret;
- increases the effectiveness of the treatment of 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 performed independently, without the help of a urologist or andrologist. The massage must be performed exclusively by an authorized specialist. The only thing: in a home 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 most widely 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.
Regarding the indications, massage is prescribed for asymptomatic prostatitis, chronic pelvic pain syndrome, sexual dysfunctions and lack of response to drug treatment. Also, massage is necessary to obtain prostate secretions for research purposes.
Device for the treatment of prostatitis.
To save men from tedious trips to the clinic and treat prostatitis at home, special devices will allow.
These devices work on different principles and are therefore classified as follows:
- Vibration effect. Thanks to microvibration, congestion in the prostate gland is eliminated, muscle tone is increased, and symptoms of irritation of the urinary tract are relieved.
- Electric shock. Aimed at stimulating 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. In the modern market for medical equipment, there are a large number of devices for home physiotherapy procedures.
Drug therapy
Pharmacological 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 massages cannot compete with the achievements of pharmacology. To get rid of tuberculous and gonorrheal prostatitis, as well as prostatitis caused by ureaplasmas and mycoplasmas, only antibiotics allow.
Prostatitis requires a carefully thought out prescription regimen. Sometimes taking medicine at home takes several months. It all depends on the form and severity of the process. So, 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 cannot take any medications 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!
