Many men do not undergo prostatitis therapy, which is explained by the lack of time to visit the clinic, the unsatisfactory conditions of state medical institutions, or simply the unwillingness to use the services of a doctor in such matters. In this article you will learn how home treatment of prostatitis can quickly relieve this unpleasant ailment.
During the last decades, the incidence of inflammation of the prostate gland and the number of men suffering from this disease has increased dramatically. Medical research data is very disappointing: almost half of forty-year-olds diagnose various forms of inflammation of the gland.
And if earlier, with the characteristic complaints of prostatitis, as a rule, people approaching fifty years old went to doctors, but now the age threshold of the disease has significantly decreased, and more and more patients have barely thirty years.
Also, these are just the figures that official medical statistics have, but in reality everything is much worse. After all, very few people do not try with their last strength not to pay attention to their indisposition, but to see a doctor in time, so often the presence of prostatitis is already found in the hospital, where a man ends up because of serious complications that have arisen. This can be explained by the fact that the early stages of the disease are often asymptomatic or associated with minor discomfort, which can be tolerated.
But even if a man nevertheless decided to go to a urologist, found out about his diagnosis and the necessary course of therapy, most likely, he will be carefully treated only until the acute symptoms are eliminated and the condition is not normalized. The traditional exhortations of doctors that, they say, this is far from everything, treatment should be continued, even if the painful symptoms have already weakened or even disappeared completely, that if the treatment is not finished, the disease will return, etc. . - for most patients, nothing more than an empty jolt of air. The main reason why the therapeutic course does not end is the full load at work and the lack of time even to drive a nail at home and not go to the clinic.
The decision on the possibility of self-treatment of prostatitis can only be made by a doctor, after examination, the necessary tests and the appointment of drug therapy. In addition, the specialist must regularly monitor the patient and monitor the course of treatment.
Imagine an ideal (well, or almost ideal) picture: at the first warning symptoms, a man went to the doctor, underwent all examinations and examinations, diligently followed all recommendations and received careful treatment. So far everything is going well, little by little he feels better and better, in the end it seems that he is recovering completely.
But the doctor says that he still needs to take medicine, take a course in physical methods, etc. All this takes time, which is already badly needed. But, according to the specialist, if the therapy is not completed, then sooner or later a relapse will occur. What to do when there is absolutely no opportunity to regularly visit the clinic, but you need treatment? With the exception of acute cases, it is possible to successfully treat prostatitis in men at home, which will be discussed.
How to get rid of prostatitis at home: effective ways
To begin with, we once again focus on the fact that you can start self-treatment at home only after the attending physician answers all questions about your condition: what form of the disease you have and whether this or that treatment is possible with him, how the recovery process proceeds and at what stage it is, what exactly needs to be done to completely get rid of the disease.
And do not forget that the treatment of prostatitis at home is carried out, first of all, so that drug therapy is as effective as possible, which it is strictly forbidden to refuse too early.
Prevention of prostatitis in men at home involves the use of herbs, tinctures, juices and other folk remedies. In addition to regular gymnastics with a set of exercises aimed at improving prostate health, a traditional prostate massage with a finger >or with the help of special devices. Now let's take a closer look at these methods.
medicinal plants
Useful substances contained in plants, macro- and microelements help relieve inflammation, improve blood circulation, increase immunity and resistance to pathogens.
- Pumpkin seedsThey are a rich natural source of zinc, essential for prostate health. To supply the body with the required dose of the element, thirty dried seeds should be eaten before meals. You can make this medicine not only useful, but also tasty. To do this, peel a pound of seeds, grind them in a meat grinder, add two hundred grams of honey and mix well. From this mass, roll into balls, put in the refrigerator and dissolve this sweet twice a day thirty minutes before meals.
- aspen bark- the bark must be collected in the spring, when the leaves have not yet had time to bloom, and the juices are actively moving along the tree. Pour one hundred grams of chopped, oven-dried bark with a glass of vodka and leave for two weeks in a dark place. In half a glass of water add twenty drops of tincture and drink three times a day. This course should be followed for a couple of months.
- Parsley- helps relieve inflammation and restore sexual activity. Thirty minutes before meals, you need to drink a tablespoon of juice. And ordinary tea (although not very useful for prostatitis) can be replaced with a decoction of parsley seeds, which must be ground in a coffee grinder, poured with water and boiled for about fifteen minutes.
- propolis treatment- Rectal ovules with propolis are very effective in the treatment of prostatitis: they help relieve pain, reduce inflammation, strengthen the immune system.

If you decide to do prostate massage yourself, be sure to ask your doctor if you have any contraindications to this procedure and how exactly you need to do it effectively and safely.
