Alternative medicine recipes are still actively used in the treatment of various health problems. In the early stages of prostatitis, home remedies are sufficient. But if that time is missed, and the problem is already burdened by the corresponding complications, you need to use pharmacological drugs.
Classification and main symptoms
Prostatitis is the development of an inflammatory process in the prostate gland. The main source of pathology is a violation of blood supply to the muscles and tissues of the small pelvis or their infection.
The main symptoms that help identify the disease:
- Often want to urinate.
- Cutting pain when going to the toilet or ejaculating.
- Small purulent inclusions contained in urine.
- Erectile dysfunction (impotence).
The acute form is accompanied by signs of inflammatory processes in the body: general lethargy and weakness, hyperthermia, headache.
The disease has a specific classification:
- Acute forms of bacterial prostatitis.
- Chronic bacterial diseases.
- Prostatitis is not chronic bacterial.
- Inflammatory prostatitis, without symptoms.
In contrast, non -bacterial lesions are divided into 2 categories - inflammatory and non -inflammatory.
In the early stages of the disease, the symptoms are subtle and short-lived, but if you do not take any steps to treat prostatitis and prevent it, the symptoms become progressive with severe pain and frequent erectile dysfunction.
You can confirm or deny suspicions of problems with the prostate gland by contacting a doctor (urologist) who will conduct some diagnostic studies, offer to answer some test questions, prescribe treatment if necessary and educate about methods of prevention.
The cause of the disease
Prerequisites for the development of prostatitis are different and depend on lifestyle. Men at a young age quite often see erectile dysfunction after stress, for example, during university sessions or when facing problems at work.
A large percentage of patients diagnosed with prostatitis are overweight, which contributes to poor circulation in the pelvic area. There is blood stasis, an increase in the size of the prostate gland. The declared process, as a rule, contributes to the formation of inflammation in the surrounding tissues and organs.
Finally is the development of prostatitis due to trauma to the pelvic organs. In the event of damage, a partial or complete violation of the blood supply occurs (rupture of a blood vessel, its violation). Inadequate levels of physical activity (sedentary work of drivers, office workers) lead to blood stasis and violation of small pelvic organs and tissues.
The inflammatory process of the surrounding organs and tissues, for example, in the rectum, moves to the prostate gland. Prostatitis develops as a complication of exacerbation of genitourinary infections and frequent venereal disease.
Home therapy
Alternative medicine has an impressive list of recipes in its arsenal. Treatment of prostatitis with folk remedies should be complex, because the reasons for its development vary. The course should include sedative herbal preparations, anti-inflammatory herbal preparations and, of course, potency-enhancing products.
One of the most effective methods to improve blood circulation in the pelvic area is the local use of leeches, but not all patients take this step. In the early stages of pathology, some recipes can solve the problem of male prostatitis independently, while others play a role as an additional method of treatment against the background of basic drug therapy.
Essential oils and preparations from various herbal raw materials are used as herbal medicine: hemlock, hazel, pear, celandine, chestnut, Kalanchoe and others.
Peel the onion
For the treatment of prostatitis in men, a decoction of onion peel is successfully used. It is not difficult to prepare: the raw material must be washed, put in a pot, and filled with water. Boil for 5 minutes and leave for an hour. The resulting broth must be filtered and eaten three times a day, half a teaspoon.
garlic
Medicines are prepared as follows:
- Peel and grind 5 simple garlic cloves.
- Pour the resulting porridge with boiling water (half a liter).
- Insist at night.
- Be sure to filter the infusion before taking it.
- Should be taken in a quarter of a glass before breakfast and dinner.
The drug takes effect after 4-5 days. In this case, the course of treatment should not be interrupted, it should last about a month.
The positive effect of garlic in prostatitis is not due to the effect on potency, but to the ability to clean blood vessels. Thanks to this that the blood flow of all organs and tissues in the small pelvis is improved.
Tar
Tar collected from birch is known in folk medicine for its anti-inflammatory properties. With prostatitis, the substance can be used as a mixture of rectal and tar water.
The rectal mixture is prepared as follows: the raw material should be heated slightly and a few drops of propolis colored should be put into it. A small amount of the resulting composition is injected into the anus at night. It needs to be treated for about 2 months.
To prepare tar water, you need to dissolve birch tar in water in a ratio of 1: 8. This solution is brought to a boil and cooked for 5 minutes. The drug should be infused in a tightly closed jar in a dark place (2 days). At this time, bubbles form on the surface of the tar water, which must be removed, and the contents of the jar itself poured into another storage container.
You need to drink half a glass of water half an hour before eating. The duration of the course of treatment is only 10 days, then it is recommended to rest for the same period and repeat the course of treatment. After that, after 20 days - ten days drink water again. If it is necessary to return to medication, this can only be done after a year.
Aspen bark
Chopped dried aspen bark should be placed in a 1 -liter pot of 1 third. Add value with water. In this form, the mixture is infused for 2 weeks. You need to take a strained infusion of the drug in 1 tbsp. l. three times a day. Since the composition is very bitter, you can try sweetening it with honey.
Honey and aloe vera
A mixture of honey, aloe and red wine is used as a remedy for prostatitis. In equal quantities you need to take the juice of aloe leaves and honey (for example, 500 g each) and pour a bottle of dry red wine. Insist for 5 days in a dark place. The drug received is taken for a month, 1 tablespoon 2-3 times a day. After a week, the course of treatment can be repeated.
Ginseng
Ginseng is known for its anti-aging properties that affect the entire body as a whole, including the prostate. Tincture can be purchased at a pharmacy or prepared at home. 1 part of ginseng leaf or root accounts for 10 parts of 50% alcohol. For the treatment of prostatitis, you need to take 20 drops once a day. But this drug also has contraindications. It is better not to use it if you are prone to insomnia and hypertension.
Herbal decoction
In folk medicine, there are several herbal preparations that are quite effective:
- The most effective recipe of using herbs for the treatment of prostatitis is to collect nettle, birch, lingonberry, horsetail, sage, cinquefoil, wormwood from the foliage. Plant raw materials should be mixed in equal amounts and boiled in water for 15 minutes. Leave for 2-3 hours. You need to drink the infusion three times a day after eating a quarter of a glass.
- Another collection of herbs is not inferior in its positive properties: birch buds, milk thistle, calamus root, celandine, cuff, chamomile, field ivy, flax seeds, wheatgrass, hawthorn berries. The method of preparation and dosage of use are similar to the first recipe. Lemon is added to tea for flavor.
In addition to all the listed herbal remedies, the treatment of prostatitis at home is carried out with a special device (massager), which has a magnetic, vibration or electrical effect.
Conifer bath
As an additional remedy for prostatitis during primary therapy, it is recommended to take a pine bath. Payment for this water treatment is available at the pharmacy. According to the instructions on the label, you need to boil a certain amount of dry raw material and put the concentrated solution into a tub filled with warm water. There should be enough liquid to sit in it. This procedure should be performed every evening before bed until the water is cool (15 minutes). You should not sit in a cold bath: this leads to excessive hypothermia.
Physical training
Exercise is very beneficial for an inactive lifestyle. Sitting in the office for 8 hours, even in a comfortable chair, disrupts the blood supply in the small pelvis, which leads to the process of stagnation. Specially selected exercise sets speed up blood flow and increase blood supply to tissues and organs. Keep in mind that playing sports will not have a positive effect on bacterial prostatitis.
As a charge against the problem under consideration, a set of special exercises has been developed:
- Squats - 100 times a day. They need to be deep. If the physical form does not allow you to do this number of repetitions, you can divide it into several approaches. The next day, out of habit, the leg muscles may ache. Initially, it is enough to do squats every day, and over time, as the muscles become stronger, you should increase the load.
- "Scissors" while sitting on the floor - 20 times. The same exercise in the prone position - also 20 times.
- "Kalachik" - lying on your back, you need to pull your knees as tight as possible to your chest and take it with your hands. Remain in this state for 20 minutes. In this case, it is allowed to sway, which has a good effect on posture and spine.
- Self -massage of the perineum can also be associated with physical effects on the pelvic organs. Regular massage helps to eliminate the process of stagnation and improve blood circulation.
Such a set of exercises can not only help in eliminating prostatitis, but is also a good method to prevent its development.
Conservative drug treatment
After passing the diagnosis and confirming the diagnosis, drug therapy is prescribed, which consists of several categories of drugs:
- It is antibacterial.
- Relax your muscles.
- Alpha group adrenergic blockers.
- Immunomodulator.
- Hormones.
- Rectal suppositories.
Specific action antibiotics are prescribed, which tend to accumulate in the prostate and have an antibacterial effect on its tissues. Muscle relaxation helps relax the muscles in the pelvic area, which can become tense during the exacerbation of prostatitis.
The combination of treatment with pharmacological drugs with traditional medicine recipes and additional physiotherapy courses allows you to successfully fight prostatitis. It is not recommended to delay treatment, because one of the most dangerous pathological complications is prostate cancer.
