Prostatitis develops after forty, and sometimes thirty years, when a man is most active at work and in the family, and a decrease in potential can significantly undermine his self-confidence not only in the field of love, but in all areas of life. Prostatitis itself is not contagious, but one of the reasons is that sexually transmitted infections can be transmitted to the patient's sexual partners.
The main reasons
There are several factors that contribute to the development of prostatitis and, consequently, to a decrease in potency:
- Prostate stagnation. This is one of the main causes of prostatitis. Irregular or perverted sex life contributes to stagnation, and a sedentary lifestyle and lack of physical activity lead to blood stasis. The result of both processes is the same - swelling of the prostate gland, an increase in pressure in it and a violation of its functions (production of secretions and regulation of ejaculation).
- Disturbing temperature conditions of the external genitalia. Excessive fever and hypothermia have a negative impact on men's health, and tight underwear and uncomfortable pants also have a negative effect on potency. All this reduces the viability of sperm.
- Sexually transmitted infections. This is another danger of a broken sexual life. Infection of the prostate against the background of obstruction causes inflammation, sometimes with serious consequences.
Prevention measures
Prevention of prostatitis in men should begin with the development of hygiene skills in boys from childhood, the ability to choose the right underwear and clothes for the weather. These are the key points that will allow the prostate to be less sensitive to harmful effects in the future.
Prevention of prostatitis in young men and adult men consists of regular sexual life, preferably with the same partner, exercise and a healthy diet. For sexually transmitted infections, it is important to get tested and treated regularly, especially if the man has unprotected sex. It should not be protected by interrupted sexual intercourse - it causes stagnation of prostate secretion, and it is far from the most reliable method of contraception.
There are special exercises for the prevention of prostatitis, they are quite simple, and most of them can be performed without getting up from a chair. The essence of these exercises is to tense and relax the various muscle groups of the perineum, thereby eliminating blood stasis in the prostate gland and other organs of the small pelvis. Walking, running, squats, sports (football, volleyball, basketball) are also useful, in winter - skiing and skating.
Drugs used to increase potency, such as the well-known Viagra, can also be taken to prevent prostatitis in men, but only if the dose is strictly adhered to. Overdose, as well as the use of Viagra without subsequent sexual intercourse, in contrast, leads to stagnation of prostate secretion and increases the risk of prostatitis. Drugs used in our country for the prevention of prostatitis and capacity building have the status of food supplements, ie they are not considered drugs and are not certified. These include local products such as Men Support and Prost Plus, American medicines - So Palmetto and Pro Formula, and many others.
To prevent chronic prostatitis from becoming chronic, it is important to treat sexually transmitted infections in a timely and complete manner, to avoid unprotected sex with casual partners, and to treat acute prostatitis in a timely manner.
Treatment
If prostatitis is diagnosed, it should be treated immediately, as acute prostatitis that is not treated in time is prone to chronicity. To do this, use the drugs available in tablets. In addition, rectal suppositories are used - they eliminate inflammation in acute prostatitis or chronic inflammation, reduce swelling of the prostate due to obstruction, anesthetize the surrounding tissues and help deliver the active substance through the prostate wall as quickly as possible. rectum. You can take them at home, as prescribed by your doctor.
Transrectal prostate massage is also used to treat and prevent prostatitis. The simplest method is digital, when the index or middle finger is inserted into the rectum in a glove lubricated with a special water-based lubricant, the lower part of the prostate is identified by touch, and some intense pressure is applied to it. The upper parts of the pancreas are not affected during the massage. There are simulators for prostate massage due to the inconvenience of the finger method and the associated disgust.
Don't lose your value and exercise to prevent prostatitis, they speed up the healing process, but also prevent chronic prostatitis, which can occur with acute prostatitis that is not completely cured.
Treatment of prostatitis at home consists of a healthy diet - fiber-rich vegetables, lean meat and fish, plenty of fluids, restriction of alcohol, especially beer. Moderate physical activity and regular sexual activity are desirable. Folk remedies are used: resorption of balls from pumpkin seeds and honey, maple juice, decoctions of hazelnut leaves and bark, chestnut peels. And the recommendations still described are more about preventing prostatitis than treating it in men. Folk remedies allow you to maintain your health and well-being for a longer period of time.
All methods of prevention and treatment of prostatitis are effective in combination, the use of any means will not have an immediate effect, so it is important to use them together, and best of all - as prescribed by your doctor.
