Prostatitis is an inflammatory process in the prostate gland.It is accompanied by burning sensations and pain in the urethra, increased fatigue and sleep disturbances.
If you are faced with the first manifestations of prostatitis, but still do not have the opportunity to consult a doctor, you can start treatment at home.Changes in the routine, simple exercises and folk remedies will help alleviate the symptoms of prostatitis or even cure the disease completely.
Treatment of prostatitis at home
Treatment of prostatitis at home begins with a change in lifestyle.These recommendations are provided 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 8-10 hours a day.With 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 many times more intense than during wakefulness.The main problem characteristic of prostatitis is sleep disturbances.It is difficult for the patient to fall asleep at night and is disturbed 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 with fresh linen, ventilate the room before going to bed and go to bed at the same time.Another important factor: if you suffer from prostatitis, stop working on the computer, using your smartphone or other gadgets with a bright screen at least an hour and a half before going to bed.The light from these devices is brighter than room lighting.It signals the brain that the time of wakefulness has not yet passed.In combination with the unpleasant symptoms of prostatitis, this leads to insomnia.
- Nutritional correction.Another manifestation of prostatitis is a multiple increase in sensitivity of the urethra, compressed by the inflamed prostate gland.Food directly affects the composition of the excreted fluid.Hot, fatty and spicy foods often lead to painful sensations.If you suffer from prostatitis, you will need to temporarily avoid fatty pork, fast food, traditional Chinese food, and other “strong” flavored foods.Often prostatitis does not disappear on its own with a positive history precisely because of the patient's diet.Give up heavy foods, eat more vegetables and fish: already 2-3 days after changing the dietary program, a decrease in the manifestations of prostatitis is observed in 2/3 of patients.
- Complete rest during the working week.Most often, prostatitis develops in men forced to lead a sedentary lifestyle.Office work limits movement and does not provide sufficient preventive stress to the body.If you have prostatitis, don't expect to go to the gym on the weekend.Firstly, prostatitis excludes sudden loads in any case.Secondly, the development of prostatitis does not stop until the weekend.You will have to rest from a sitting position 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 help to normalize the processes of the inflamed prostate.One of the simplest tips for prostatitis, which coincides with the recommendations of doctors, is the introduction of pumpkin seeds into the diet.
30-35 pumpkin seeds are added to the daily diet, dividing this quantity 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 pass faster, the seeds are consumed as a medicine - in a separate portion, with one or two glasses of water.When you start having lunch, gastric juice will first act on a pile of seeds - a natural source of vitamins and minerals for prostatitis.Do not exceed the recommended amount or replace pumpkin seed snacks with main meals.Excess microelements will simply be excreted in the urine.
An effective treatment for prostatitis at home includes drinking parsley juice.To fight 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 an immersion blender, but in this case you will have to filter the pulp with gauze.
How to cure prostatitis at home
Complete relief from prostatitis in men at home involves continuously changing your lifestyle.For many, home treatment does not seem to be particularly effective because after the first signs of improvement the patient usually returns to old habits without medical supervision.A week or two and the prostatitis returns.
To prevent this from happening, you need to adhere to general rules after recovery.If you have a tendency to prostatitis, do not sit in the cold, do not overwork, try to get adequate rest every day, avoid heavy foods.This will help prevent prostatitis from returning to everyday life.
If prostatitis is bothering you right now, try honey remedies.Natural honey without chemical additives is one of the most effective remedies against prostatitis.It stops acute inflammatory processes, kills bacteria, soothes 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, so they are often recommended for home treatment or first aid in case of acute prostatitis.The only stopping factor is an allergy to honey and bee products.
From honey and beekeeping products you can make various remedies 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, then dissolve 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 placed 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 - carefully inserted into the rectum.The effect of the treatment is evident already in the first 3-5 days.The full course lasts 28-30 days, repeated after a month for preventive purposes.
- Honey in its pure form is used as a remedy in a similar way to propolis: candles are rolled up for daily use.This is one of the effective methods of relieving inflammation: after the first candle, burning and itching are significantly reduced.Due to its soft and viscous structure, honey is easy to roll up with candles at home.It is used for any prostatitis, including those with advanced inflammation.Candles are rolled from the 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.To ensure that the results of the treatment appear more quickly, the medicine is used in the morning and in the evening.
- In case of 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 underlying pain of inflammation, which burdens the entire body.After the strengthening course, the daily portion is reduced to one teaspoon in the morning on an empty stomach.Pollen is used as an effective alternative for home treatment.
- Dead bee is suitable for first aid during exacerbations of the inflammatory process or for long-term treatment.In order for the substance to release useful elements, it is poured with 0.5 liters of filtered cold 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 stored 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, as a last resort, an independent visit to the doctor.
You will not be able to wait for the end of the advanced inflammatory process at home.Without a doctor, you will not be able to quickly select an antibiotic to reduce inflammation.In addition, medicines that can and should be used at home to help with chronic prostatitis cannot be used for acute inflammation of the prostate - they will provoke 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 drugs with unpleasant side effects.Below are ways to make a man's life easier when there is a complication:
- Direct prostate massage.At home, prostate treatment with massage remains the best method for any chronic form of the disease.For first aid it is necessary to access the prostate through the anus, then carefully perform circular movements, first in one direction, then in the other direction.This can be done by a loved one or by the man himself if he uses a special home massager.
- Indirect massage is not useful as a first aid remedy, but has a positive effect if 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 against 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 a bath with a water temperature not exceeding 37 degrees.Men should dive to their waist, leaving their chest open.For treatment, take a bath for 15-20 minutes before going to bed every day.Relieves pain and reduces the area of inflammation.
How else can you fight: Effective treatment quickly
You can treat inflammation of the prostate at home, but you should prepare for a prolonged struggle.When the effect of the treatment becomes noticeable, do not stop the procedure.The body needs 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 aspen bark tincture.It is easy to prepare at home and is suitable for treating any chronic form of the disease.The only difficulty is collecting the bark.Treatment requires bark up to 5 mm thick, harvested before the first shoots appear on aspen branches.The best time for harvesting is the first half of April, then the bark can be dried in the oven at home 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, leave to rest for 1-2 days, then take 10-15 drops three times a day before meals.To prevent alcohol from burning the stomach, dilute the product in 150 ml of warm water before taking it.
