Prostatitis is a common disease characterized by a variety of therapeutic methods. In other words, there is no single treatment regimen that is equally effective for different forms of pathology.
The same treatment can be very productive and completely useless for different categories of patients. However, doctors agree that home treatment for prostatitis is a mandatory part of a comprehensive program to restore men’s health. So let’s learn about the most popular methods and treat insidious prostatitis at home!
Can it be treated at home?
It is no secret that a person will only seek qualified help if all folk remedies have been tried at home. This approach is fundamentally flawed - it is worth seeking the help of specialists immediately after detecting unpleasant symptoms (discomfort in the lumbar region, painful frequent urination, weakened erection). The appointment of a doctor can then be combined with home treatment. Moreover, there is a method tested over a long period of time to eradicate this disease. Remember: an amateur lecture on such an important issue as one’s own well-being is forbidden, and the methods of the "grandmother" must be supplemented by a drug therapy prescribed by a specialist.
In summary, we can emphasize that chronic prostatitis can also be treated at home. But forgetting about modern medical advances to keep men healthy is still not worth it.
Simple but effective recipes
When the question arises as to how to treat prostatitis at home, they recall the simplest thing - pumpkin seeds. The healing properties of pumpkin seeds are legendary. They were actively used by ancient healers to treat all forms of prostatitis. The fact that this product contains a large amount of zinc - an element that should be present in men’s daily menu regardless of age. There are only 30 pumpkin seeds each day (at the same time before meals) in the treatment of prostatitis - and a positive result does not wait long. Even an advanced chronic process can be cured in this way.
At home, it is possible to treat the disease using the same starting material, but in a different way. You have to peel half a kilogram of pumpkin seeds, pass them through a meat grinder and add 200 grams of honey. The resulting mass is mixed and walnut-sized balls are formed. You can store this medicine in a refrigerator. Patients with prostatitis should eat 1-2 such balls daily before meals.
The sweet delicacy should be chewed thoroughly. Please note that the seeds do not need to be baked. It is enough to repeat these methods once a year - and chronic prostatitis will no longer bother you.
Another popular method is chestnut treatment. Take the chestnut peel with a needle and cover with boiling water. Add the broth for an hour and then drink it like tea. Enemas are also made with the resulting solution.
Ripe chestnuts help get rid of chronic prostatitis:
- Peel the shells, chop and pour boiling water (300 ml). Leave overnight.
- In the morning, filter the solution and place in a water bath.
- Pour the remaining 200 ml into a dark bottle.
Take 30 drops three times daily before meals. The duration of treatment for prostatitis is 2 months. You will need at least 3 treatments to completely cure prostatitis.
Benefits of juices
It has been shown that chronic prostatitis at home can be cured by "tastier" methods. For this, they use juices that are much more pleasant to drink, such as chestnut decoctions. Although the use of freshly squeezed juices promotes the release of uric acid, which leads to the development of the disease without leakage. Asparagus, beets, carrots and cucumbers are especially good for treating home juices. Asparagus deserves special praise from men. True, the volume of juices consumed during the day must be at least half a liter.
You can also treat prostatitis at home with the help of black elderberry juice. To be taken in the early morning, on an empty stomach, 1 tbsp. The course lasts 10 days. To preserve the beneficial properties of the drink, it is recommended to add a little table vinegar to your juice. Please note: an increase in body temperature is possible. This is a perfectly normal indication that the treatment is effective.
Prostate massage
Home prostate massage helps treat even the most advanced forms of men. The procedure cannot be called pleasant, but the high effectiveness of the therapeutic effect forgets the discomfort and tunes in to a positive mood.
So what explains the positive effect? Why is home massage considered an almost mandatory manipulation leading to healing? Let's figure it out. Massage not only gets rid of bacterial prostatitis (chronic) but also safely eliminates other forms (viral, mixed, gonorrheal). This massage:
- normalizes the circulation of the prostate gland;
- improves prostate muscle tone;
- ensures the correct outflow of the secret;
- increases the effectiveness of treatment of men with antibiotics and other antibacterial drugs.
However, unconsciously, home massage can be harmful. It is particularly naive to believe that this procedure is performed independently, without the help of a urologist or andrologist. Massages should only be performed by a licensed professional. The only thing is that it is much easier for the majority to decide this in a home environment than in a public or private health care facility.
Prostate massage is one of the most commonly used inflammatory treatments.
Like all other medical manipulations, home prostate massage has many contraindications. For example, massage does not result in acute bacterial prostatitis, chronic prostatitis, with signs of malignancies, in the presence of cysts and stones in the prostate gland.
As for the indications, massage is prescribed for asymptomatic prostatitis, chronic pelvic pain syndrome, sexual dysfunction, and lack of response to medication. In addition, massage is required to obtain prostate secretions for research purposes.
Apparatus for the treatment of prostatitis
Special devices make it possible to save men from tedious clinical trips and to treat prostatitis at home.
These tools operate on different principles and are therefore classified as follows:
- Vibration effect. Thanks to microvibration, the prostate gland is eliminated, muscle tone is increased, and the symptoms of urinary tract irritation are relieved.
- Electric shock. It is intended to stimulate tissues with modulated currents through the rectum or skin.
- Magnetic shock. The magnetic device has a decongestant, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect.
- Laser exposure. Such devices are treated with infrared radiation.
It is impossible to mention the tools themselves. In the modern market for medical devices, there are a large number of devices at home for physiotherapy procedures.
Drug therapy
Medication is another mandatory element in the treatment of prostatitis. It is quite understandable that medical methods are more relevant than ever. Even the most innovative developments and massage cannot compete with the results of pharmacology. Only antibiotics allow it to get rid of tuberculous, gonorrheal prostatitis, and prostatitis caused by ureaplasmas and mycoplasmas.
Careful prescription treatment is required for prostatitis. Sometimes taking home medications is delayed for several months. It all depends on the form and severity of the process. So men’s chronic prostatitis is much harder to cure than acute. In any case, the medications should be prescribed by a doctor, taking into account the individual characteristics of the body.
You should not take any medication without consulting a specialist, otherwise the situation will only get worse. As you can see, prostatitis can be treated at home, the point is not to neglect the advice of professionals and follow the recommendations of your doctor.
To be healthy!
