Prostatitis develops after forty, and sometimes thirty years, when a man is more active at work and in the family, and a decrease in potency can significantly undermine his self-confidence, not only on the love front, but in all areas of life. Prostatitis itself is not contagious, but one of its causes is that sexually transmitted infections can spread to the patient's sexual partners.
Main reason
There are several factors that contribute to the development of prostatitis and the consequent decrease in potency:
- Stagnation in the prostate gland. This is a major cause of prostatitis. Irregular or promiscuous sex life contributes to stagnation of the secret, and a sedentary lifestyle, lack of physical activity causes blood to stagnate. The result of both processes is the same: swelling of the prostate gland, increased pressure in it and a violation of its functions (production of secretion and regulation of ejaculation).
- Uncomfortable temperature conditions of the external genital organs. Overheating and hypothermia negatively affect men's health, even tight underwear and uncomfortable pants have a negative effect on potency. All this reduces the viability of the spermatozoa.
- Sexually transmitted infections. This is another danger of disordered sex life. Accession of infection against the background of congestion in the prostate leads to inflammation, sometimes with serious consequences.
Prevention measures
Prevention of prostatitis in men should begin in childhood with the formation of hygienic skills in boys, the ability to choose the right underwear and dress according to the time. These are the main points that will allow you to be less susceptible to the harmful effects on the prostate in the future.
In young and adult men, the prevention of prostatitis consists of a regular sex life, preferably with the same partner, physical exercises and a healthy diet. It is important to get tested regularly for sexually transmitted infections and to treat them in time, especially if the man often has unprotected intercourse. He should not be protected by the method of interrupted intercourse - this leads to stagnation of prostatic secretion, moreover, this 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 stretch and relax different muscle groups of the perineum, thereby eliminating blood stasis in the prostate gland and other organs of the small pelvis. Hiking, running, squat, sports games (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 considered as a prevention of prostatitis in men, but only if the dosage is strictly adhered to. Excessive doses, as well as the use of Viagra without subsequent sexual intercourse, on the contrary, leads to stagnation of prostatic secretion and increases the risk of prostatitis. The drugs used in our country to prevent prostatitis and increase potency have the status of food supplements, that is, they are not considered medicines and are not subject to certification. These include such household products as Men Support and Prost Plus, American drugs - So Palmetto and Pro Formula, and many more.
To prevent acute prostatitis from becoming chronic, it is important to treat STIs in a timely and comprehensive manner, avoid unprotected sex with casual partners, and treat acute prostatitis on time.
Treatment
If prostatitis is diagnosed, it must be treated as soon as possible, because acute prostatitis that is not treated in time tends to become chronic. To do this, use the drugs available in tablets. In addition, rectal suppositories are used: they relieve inflammation in acute prostatitis or exacerbation of a chronic one, reduce swelling of the prostate due to congestion, anesthetize surrounding tissues and contribute to faster delivery of the active substance to the prostate through the wall of the rectum . You can take them as prescribed by a doctor, even at home.
Transrectal prostate massage is also used for the treatment and prevention of prostatitis. The simplest method is the digital one, when the index or middle finger is inserted into the rectum in a glove lubricated with a special water-based lubricant, the lower lobe of the prostate is determined by touch and different pressures are applied to it intense. The upper sections of the gland during the massage are not affected. Due to the inconvenience of the finger method and the disgust associated with it, there are simulators for prostate massage.
They do not lose their value and exercises for the prevention of prostatitis, accelerate the treatment process, and are also the prevention of chronic prostatitis, which can occur with not fully cured acute prostatitis.
Treatment of prostatitis at home involves a healthy diet: high-fiber vegetables, lean meat and fish, plenty of fluids, limiting alcohol, especially beer. Moderate physical activity and regular sexual activity are desirable. Folk remedies are used: resorption of balls from pumpkin seeds and honey, elderberry juice, decoctions of hazelnut leaves and bark, chestnut shells. Yet the recommendations described are more about the prevention of prostatitis in men than its treatment. Folk methods allow you to maintain health and well-being longer.
All methods of prevention and treatment of prostatitis are effective in combination, the use of any remedy will not give an immediate effect, so it is important to use them together and, most importantly, as directed by a doctor.
