Prostatitis is an inflammatory process in the prostate gland.It is accompanied by a burning sensation and pain in the urethra, increased fatigue and sleep disturbances.
If you are faced with the first manifestations of prostatitis, but do not yet have the opportunity to consult a doctor, you can start treatment at home.Changes in routine, simple exercises and home remedies will help relieve the symptoms of prostatitis or even cure the disease completely.
Treatment of prostatitis at home.
Treatment of prostatitis at home begins with a lifestyle change.These recommendations are given to any patient who has been diagnosed with prostatitis.If you notice the first symptoms of prostatitis, pay attention to the following factors:
- Healthy sleep 8 to 10 hours a day.In prostatitis, sleep is especially important.While you sleep, the body treats prostatitis, trying to eliminate the inflammation on its own.During sleep, passive treatment of prostatitis is several times more intense than during wakefulness.The main characteristic problem of prostatitis is sleep disturbance.The patient finds it difficult to fall asleep at night and is bothered by itching and burning.Try to reduce the influence of extraneous factors so that nature takes its course and you can fall asleep regardless of prostatitis.Sleep on clean bedding, ventilate the room before going to bed and go to bed at the same time.Another important factor: if you have prostatitis, stop working on your computer, smartphone or other devices with a bright screen at least an hour and a half before going to bed.The light from these devices is brighter than the lighting in the room.It tells the brain that waking time has not yet passed.In combination with the unpleasant symptoms of prostatitis, this causes insomnia.
- Nutritional correction.Another manifestation of prostatitis is a multiple increase in the sensitivity of the urethra, compressed by the inflamed prostate.Food directly affects the composition of the excreted fluid.Hot, fatty and spicy foods often cause painful sensations.If you have prostatitis, you will need to temporarily avoid fatty pork, fast food, traditional Chinese food, and other foods with “strong” flavors.Often, prostatitis does not go away on its own with a positive medical history precisely because of the patient's diet.Give up heavy foods, eat more vegetables and fish: already 2-3 days after changing the diet, a decrease in the manifestations of prostatitis is observed in 2/3 of patients.
- Complete rest during the work week.Most often, prostatitis develops in men who are forced to lead a sedentary lifestyle.Office work restricts movement and does not provide sufficient preventative stress to the body.If you have prostatitis, don't expect to go to the gym on the weekend.First of all, prostatitis excludes sudden loads in any case.Secondly, the development of prostatitis does not stop until the weekend.You will have to rest sitting at home.Daily walks and sets of special exercises for prostatitis are designed to strengthen the pelvic muscles, restore tone and improve blood circulation.If prostatitis is in the early stages, regular activity will replace drug treatment.
An effective home treatment program also includes aids to normalize processes in the inflamed prostate.One of the simplest tips for prostatitis, which coincides with doctors' recommendations, is the introduction of pumpkin seeds into the diet.
Between 30 and 35 pumpkin seeds are added to the daily diet, dividing this amount into several meals.Before you start eating, eat a serving of pumpkin seeds and drink plenty of water.They contain zinc and other useful microelements that promote the natural regeneration of prostate tissue.To make prostatitis go away faster, the seeds are consumed as a medicine, in a separate portion, with one or two glasses of water.When you start eating lunch, gastric juice will first act on a bunch of seeds, a natural source of vitamins and minerals for prostatitis.You should not exceed the recommended amount or replace pumpkin seed snacks in your main meals.Excess microelements will simply be excreted with urine.
Effective treatment for prostatitis at home includes drinking parsley juice.To combat prostatitis, drink 150-200 ml of green juice about half an hour before meals.Parsley stimulates the appetite, so its juice will promote better absorption of the beneficial elements of pumpkin seeds.You can squeeze the juice in a closed blender, or using a hand blender, but in this case you will have to strain the pulp through cheesecloth.
How to cure prostatitis at home.
Complete relief from prostatitis in men at home involves changing your lifestyle on an ongoing basis.It seems to many that home treatment is not particularly effective because, after the first signs of improvement, the patient often returns to old habits without medical supervision.One or two weeks and the prostatitis returns.
To prevent this from happening, you must follow the general rules after recovery.If you are prone to prostatitis, do not sit in the cold, do not work too much, try to get enough rest every day, and avoid heavy meals.This will help prevent prostatitis from returning to everyday life.
If prostatitis is bothering you at this time, try honey-based remedies.Natural honey without chemical additives is one of the most effective remedies against prostatitis.It stops acute inflammatory processes, kills bacteria, calms tissues and has a general stimulating and analgesic effect.Honey-based home remedies can be used safely at home.They help quickly eliminate the signs of prostatitis, which is why they are often recommended as a home treatment or first aid for acute prostatitis.The only factor that stops it is the allergy to honey and bee products.
Various remedies can be prepared from honey and beekeeping products to treat inflammation at home:
- Propolis is a remedy for prostatitis and hemorrhoids that can be used at home.Take 35-40 grams of pure propolis and then dissolve it in 300 ml of alcohol.To prepare the medicine at home, use purified alcohol without foreign impurities;Wine, vodka and other alcoholic beverages are not suitable for treatment.The resulting mixture is set on fire and gently evaporated until the extract remains.For general strengthening purposes, it is added to food, but to treat inflammation of the prostate, the extract is mixed with 2 grams of cocoa butter and a suppository is formed.The product is cooled half an hour before bedtime, used rectally and carefully inserted into the rectum.The effect of the treatment is already noticeable in the first 3-5 days.The complete course is 28 to 30 days, repeated monthly for preventive purposes.
- Honey in its pure form is used as a remedy in a similar way to propolis: candles are rolled for daily use.This is one of the effective methods of relieving inflammation: after the first candle, the burning and itching decrease noticeably.Thanks to its soft and viscous structure, honey is easy to prepare candles at home.It is used for any prostatitis, including those with advanced inflammation.The candles are rolled out of dough according to the recipe: 3 tablespoons of rye flour, 2 tablespoons of honey, one egg.The thickness of the rectal suppository should not exceed 1 cm.In order for the results of treatment to appear faster, the medicine is used in the morning and evening.
- In acute prostatitis, suppositories are not always effective, since even a soft foreign body can cause increased pain.In this case, you can take 1-2 tablespoons of honey at home before meals for a maximum of 7-10 days.This is an effective way to relieve the painful background of inflammation, which overwhelms the entire body.After the strengthening course, the daily ration is reduced to one teaspoon in the morning on an empty stomach.Pollen is used as an effective alternative for home treatment.
- The dead bee is suitable as first aid during exacerbations of the inflammatory process or long-term treatment.In order for the substance to release useful elements, it is poured with 0.5 liters of cold filtered water.Then the container with water is placed on the fire, brought to a boil and kept on low heat for up to two hours.This remedy is most effective for chronic prostatitis.It is kept in the refrigerator at home and taken three times a day.
First aid for prostatitis at home.
In case of acute prostatitis, it is contraindicated for men to stay at home without medical supervision.First aid measures in this case are calling an ambulance with hospitalization or, in extreme cases, an independent visit to the doctor.
You will not be able to wait for the advanced inflammatory process to pass at home.Without a doctor, you will not be able to quickly select an antibiotic to reduce inflammation.In addition, drugs that can and should be used at home to help with chronic prostatitis cannot be used for acute inflammation of the prostate: they will lead to complications.
The opposite situation occurs with prolonged inflammatory processes.Men suffering from chronic forms get used to the manifestations of inflammation and even learn to tolerate them.At the same time, they can and should be treated effectively at home, without antibiotics and other powerful medications with unpleasant side effects.Below are ways to make a man's life easier when there is a complication:
- Direct prostate massage.At home, treating the prostate with massage remains the best method for any chronic form of the disease.For first aid, you need to access the prostate through the anus and then carefully perform circular movements, first in one direction and then in the other.This can be done by a loved one or by the man himself if he uses a special home massager.
- Indirect massage is not as useful as a first aid remedy, but it has a positive effect when repeated regularly.To do this at home, a man should take a tennis ball, place it on a chair, sit on it, and gently roll it back and forth for up to 3 to 5 minutes.
- The first remedy for complications of chronic inflammation is a warm bath with pine needles.You can prepare the tincture at home or buy the extract at the pharmacy.A few tablespoons of tincture are added to the bath with a water temperature of no more than 37 degrees.Men should dive up to the waist, leaving the chest open.For treatment, bathe for 15 to 20 minutes before bedtime every day.Relieves pain and reduces the area of inflammation.
How else can you fight?Effective and fast treatment.
You can treat prostate inflammation at home, but you should prepare for a long fight.When the effect of the treatment is noticeable, do not interrupt the procedure.The body takes a long time to recover, even if you take sick leave and relax at home with your family.
One of the famous recipes with quick results is poplar bark tincture.It is easy to prepare at home and suitable for treating any chronic form of the disease.The only difficulty is collecting the bark.Treatment requires bark up to 5 mm thick, collected before the first buds appear on aspen branches.The best time to collect is the first half of April, then the bark can be dried at home in the oven and stored indefinitely.
To prepare a tincture for 2-3 months, take 100 g of bark, grind it on a grater or in a mortar, then pour it into a jar and pour 200 g of vodka.Close the container tightly with a lid, let it sit for 1 or 2 days, then take 10 to 15 drops three times a day before meals.To prevent alcohol from burning the stomach, dilute the product in 150 ml of warm water before drinking.
