Characteristic of the disease and its symptoms
Prostatitis is called inflammation of the prostate or prostate.This organ plays an important role in the male body, performing several tasks at the same time.Prostate iron takes an active part in ejaculation and urination processes, and also protects against various infections.Consequently, following its defeat, the entire genito -urinary system suffers.The cause of inflammation can be both pathogenic microorganisms that enter the prostate by urethra and congestion in the basin.Often, the impulse for the development of the disease is excessive hypothermia.This pathology is acute and chronic.If, in an acute form, all the symptoms of the disease are expressed in a fairly alive way, at a chronic stage, it is more difficult to recognize the disease, because its signs are smoothed. Here are the most characteristic symptoms of prostatitis:
- Pain.They can occur in a penis, in an adjacent area, a scrotum, around the anus, at the bottom of the back or even the abdomen during ejaculation and after having sex.

To avoid such problems, it is easier to try to warn prostatitis and not spend time and money on your treatment.
Risk factors
Prostatitis is an insidious disease that affects men aged 25 to 50.Sometimes even 20 -year -old boys suffer from him. The development of pathology is facilitated by the following factors:
- Irregular sex life or absence;
- Sex with an undeclared partner without using contraceptive means;
- lack of physical effort;
- weaken immunity;
- chronic stress;
- frequent hypothermia of pelvic organs;
- Infectious diseases of the genitarine system.
There are a number of professions whose representatives have a much greater probability of obtaining inflammation of the prostate gland, which is associated with working conditions in certain areas.
The risk group includes the following people:
- People engaged in sedentary work;
- Drivers;
- Those working in unfavorable weather conditions.For example, manufacturers, geologists, etc.
Preventive measures
Prevention of inflammation of the prostate gland can be primary and secondary.The first type aims to prevent prostatitis and the second - to the prevention of new attacks of the disease in its chronic form.These measures consist of an entire set of actions, the implementation of which implies a reduction in the risk of disease or relief of its course.
Lifestyle
To reduce the probability of a disease, it is recommended to get rid of habits as bad as alcohol consumption and smoking.And if alcohol in small doses does not harm the body much, cigarettes should be abandoned once and for all.This habit contributes to the slowdown in blood circulation in all organs, including in the pelvic area, which ultimately causes oxygen deficiency in prostate tissues and aggravates its condition.In addition, smoking violates the flow of venous blood and leads to the formation of edema and the staging of the lymph.It is also very important to pay attention to good nutrition, and those who move little during the day must increase physical activity.It is very useful to start or end the day with a contrasting shower.It will improve blood flow to the prostate gland and the rest of the pelvic organs, and also strengthen immunity.
Physical activity
An active lifestyle positively affects the entire body and is a good prevention of prostatitis.This is due to the fact that physical activity does not allow blood to stagnate and saturate oxygen tissues.In particular, such a way of life is important for those occupied by sedentary work.To increase physical activity, you can play sports, start performing a certain set of exercises or simply allocating more time for hiking.The most appropriate sports for the prevention of the disease are being executed, all types of walking, as well as all kinds of sports games that do not lead to hypothermia and excessive physical tension.If the disease has moved to the chronic stage, you should refuse weight, swimming in cold ponds and bicycle. As for exercises, the following types are recognized as the most effective:
- Semi-flows made slowly in a quantity of 5 to 8 pieces;
- "Birch";
- "bike";
- Railing the basin of the bed position with the legs folded with the knees.It is recommended to keep the basin in the upper position for at least 3 to 5 seconds, and 6-8 repetitions must be carried out at a time.
Kegel's preventive advantages are also proven.They strengthen the muscles of the pelvis and anus, and also provide the necessary blood flow to the prostate.At the initial stage, it is recommended to exercise during urination, delaying the blade flow for 3 to 4 seconds, repeating the action 5 to 7 times in a row.After it becomes clear which muscle is tense during the exercise, it can be drawn in other conditions.
Sex life
To protect yourself from the disease, you must have sex regularly, that is to say at least 1 to 2 times a week.It is recommended to do so with a permanent sexual partner, otherwise a man can start inflammation due to a frequent change in microflora.If there is no intimate relationships, a special secret and disintegration products gradually accumulate in the prostate, which do not find a way out and lead the disease more.Positively affects male health and the strong contraction of the small pool muscles during ejaculation.The best way to avoid the development of an infectious prostatitis is the compulsory use of a condom to have sex with an unasized partner.If possible, it is better to avoid random sex.This will exclude the probability of an infection.When there is no sex life, masturbation can help a man.Of course, it will not replace full sex, but will help maintain health.This is particularly true for those who crossed the 40 -year line.
Nutritional rules
Another way to prevent the disease.The daily diet must be compiled in order to meet the following requirements:

Prostate massage
Such an effect on the prostate gland is generally prescribed for patients with chronic prostatitis, but can also be used for preventive purposes.The specialist must be done and its essence is to stimulate the prostate through the anus.A session of such a massage does not last more than a minute, and the course consists of 8 to 10 sessions, which must be carried out once every 3 days.The main objective of the impact on the organ is to isolate stagnant secretion with pathogenic microflora.This occurs at the end of each session in the form of spontaneous ejaculation.If this does not happen, the patient must urinate.Then the secret will be released with urine.Massage is contraindicated in the presence of neoplasms of all kinds in the gland, as well as with the accumulation of stones in the conduits and with a bacterial form of the disease.If the patient suffers from intense pain, the effect on the organ should be stopped.
Household and diet supplements
