Benefits of treating prostatitis with alternative methods
In most clinical images, a man asks for help from a doctor when the disease has become chronic. Ignoring the symptoms exacerbates the situation, which delays recovery indefinitely. The early stages of prostatitis can be therapeutic, especially folk remedies.

But it is not always advisable to use folk remedies as they isolate forms of the disease that are treated exclusively by medication. These include the acute phase of the disease, bacterial, infectious and calcular prostatitis. It is recommended to combine medications prescribed by a doctor with non-traditional methods of treatment with such pathologies.
Most commonly, strong medications are prescribed to treat prostatitis. As you know, drugs have not only indications for use, but also contraindications, an impressive list of side effects. And this is justified because sometimes the positive effect of the tablets on the prostate gland is accompanied by a deterioration in general well-being.

The "scissors" can be performed while lying on your stomach. Such performance is a little heavier, but more efficient than the first option;
