Treating prostatitis is a long-term process. An integrated approach is used - the use of medication, lifestyle changes - moderate physical activity, proper nutrition, rejection of bad habits and herbal medicine. Treatment of prostatitis with folk remedies is not prohibited, and even welcomed by many specialist doctors, since alternative medicine really helps speed up the healing process. Practice shows that sometimes the use of folk remedies is more effective than the use of drugs. Let's find out how to treat prostatitis in men with folk remedies?
Benefits of treating prostatitis with alternative methods
For most diseases, once the disease has become chronic, a man see a doctor. Ignoring symptoms will make the situation worse, which will indefinitely delay recovery. The early stages of inflammation in the prostate are amenable to therapy, especially folk remedies.
Alternative medicine offers many recipes to get rid of the negative symptoms of prostatitis. However, it is not always advisable to use folk remedies, as they isolate forms of the disease that are treated exclusively with a medicinal method. These include the acute phase of the disease, bacterial, infectious and calculous prostatitis. With such pathologies, it is recommended to combine drugs prescribed by a doctor and methods of non-traditional treatment.
Most often, strong drugs are prescribed to treat prostatitis. As you know, drugs have not only indications but also contraindications, an impressive list of side effects. And this is justified, since the positive effect of pills on the prostate is sometimes accompanied by a deterioration in general well-being.

Sports exercise
Physical inactivity - little physical activity leads to congestion in the pelvis, circulatory disorders, which in turn provoke prostatitis. Moderate exercise in prostatitis is a mandatory part of treatment. Exercise improves the outflow of prostate secretions, strengthens the pelvic muscles, normalizes metabolic processes and blood circulation, which together help restore normal prostate function.
For your information, with chronic prostatitis it is not recommended to overload the body with strenuous workouts - it should be a measure in everything. Permitted types of exercise: swimming, morning exercises before breakfast or jogging, yoga, brisk walking.
Effective exercises for prostatitis at home:
- Under construction. During this workout, the anus muscles are tightened. The muscles are tightened when you inhale and relaxed when you exhale. Repeat twice a day. Each training consists of at least 10 approaches;
- Scissors. The man lies on his back, lifts his legs and spreads them to the sides. Then you need to bring the lower limbs together and cross them, and then return to their original position. "Scissors" can be done lying on your stomach. Such a performance is a little more difficult, but more efficient compared to the first option;
- "Walk on your buttocks. " The man sits down on the floor, then he has to move his buttocks in every direction. In a workout, you have to "walk" 50-60 meters;
- Bicycle. Starting position - the man lies on his back, fixes his hands behind the back of the head, lifts his legs and imitates cycling. One exercise includes 20-30 turns.
Exercise really works, but only if the man does it regularly - at least 5 times a week. Climbing stairs also improves blood circulation in the body, so it is advisable to forget about the elevator.
It is possible to cure prostatitis, but it is difficult. Therefore, you need to act comprehensively, not forgetting about prevention - proper and balanced nutrition, good rest, compliance with the drinking regime, regular sex and preventive visits to the urologist.
