Primary Prostatitis Prevention

Often prostatitis has proved stagnant processes that occur in the prostate gland.It is not well washed with blood on its own and is therefore poorly supplied with oxygen.This leads to a deterioration in the functioning of the prostate.Therefore, men who are forced to spend a lot of time sitting are at great risk.For the prevention of prostatitis, they must perform physical exercise.They contribute to a blood flow, which leads to an improvement in the muscle tone of the gland, normalization of secretory activity.

The simplest exercise that can be done to prevent prostatitis is to reduce the muscles of the anus.To better understand what muscles are in question, it is necessary to postpone the flow when urinating for a while.This will cause the tension of a particular muscle group.They should be regularly tense to increase blood flow to the gland.

First, you can try to make 10 contractions in a row.It seems simple at first glance.Because the muscles are not trained, discomfort may occur.It is necessary to make it a rule and do 5 times a day, 30 times, for example, during washing, on the way home or for work.When exercises stop causing discomfort, you can perform up to 100 contractions in an approach.

This is just one of the exercises that need to be done to prevent prostatitis in men.Dr. Kegel suggested that.In addition, there are many other exercises that contribute to the flow of blood to this organ.

For example, for the prevention of prostatitis, you can perform:

  • jumping;
  • squat;
  • wide balance sheets;
  • "Birch";
  • "Bike".

Exercises can be complemented with walking.And this should be done more often.Men who are walking hardly suffer from prostatitis.The minimum "distance", which needs to be kept for prostatitis prevention - 4 km a day.

Bath

Primary prevention prevention in men also involves other procedures, for example, a contrast bath directed to the perineum.This procedure perfectly increases the blood flow in the gland.It is performed very simply.A flower flow of the shower is directed to the groin and its temperature changes periodically: 30 seconds - hot water, almost hot, 15 seconds - room temperature, cold.The procedure should not last more than 5 minutes.It is better done before bed.

Prostate massage

Perineum massage will be very useful for preventing prostatitis in men.It is better to let him lie.It is necessary to find a small area between the anus and the scrotum (closer to the anus).Under the scrotum is the pelvic bone.In the area where it ends, and you need to make efforts, but not excessive.The massage should be done for 4-5 minutes, better at night after a contrasting bath before bed.These procedures give good blood flow to the prostate.And if you constantly do them, prostatitis can be avoided.

Constant sex life

An important role in a man's health and therefore for the prevention of prostatitis, has sex.The frequency, as well as the nature of sexual activity, directly affect the condition of the prostate.But you should not go to the extreme: irregular sexual contacts will become an additional source of infection.Negatively, prolonged abstinence, delaying or intentionally interrupting the law, is also reflected in the health of the prostate.Therefore, the ideal option for the prevention of prostatitis in men is regular sex measure, with a permanent partner.

Proper nutrition

Reduces the likelihood of prostatitis and healthy diet.If you avoid too high and spicy foods, diet diet, the disease will not have an additional "gap" to penetrate the body.The menu of each man must have vegetables, fruits, pumpkin seeds, seafood, garlic, walnuts.The use of alcoholic beverages (especially beer) should be minimized.Excessive enthusiasm for coffee is not recommended.Among other things, you need to avoid hypothermia.Men should not swim in cold water or sit in a cold coating.

Secondary Prostatitis Prevention

But if the disease cannot be avoided after recovery, you will need to think about the secondary prevention of prostatitis.Includes the following events:

  1. Taking drugs;
  2. Regular visits to the urologist, regardless of whether there are clinical symptoms of the disease or not;
  3. Regular examination once every 3 months (recommended in the first year after comprehensive treatment).For the next three years, visit a urologist should be once every six months;
  4. After 40 years, a man must necessarily make an ultrasound of the prostate gland.

Prevention of chronic prostatitis with any medicine is prescribed only by a doctor.Their reception should be made regular.For the prevention of prostatitis, medications are prescribed that affect metabolism in the prostate gland and the reviewers of urodynamics.With the inflammatory etiology of the disease, anti -inflammatory drugs are prescribed, whose action selectively aims to improve the condition of the prostate.Taking antiviral drugs prevents prostatitis of an infectious nature.If there is a bacterial nature in the history of the disease, the patient is indicated by antimicrobial medications.For the prevention of prostatitis, food supplements are prescribed.They stimulate blood flow to the prostate gland, prevent inflammation.

A special line needs to be highlighted by prostate massage.This is not only the treatment method, but also the prostatitis prevention method.In essence, massage is a mechanical effect very similar to prostate palpation during diagnosis.During massage, nerve endings are irritated and vascular expansion.This leads to an improvement in the blood circulation of the organ, a more intense flow of nutrients and oxygen.The end result will be the acceleration of recovery processes.The massage course involves 8 to 10 procedures.They are performed every day.As a rule, after the fifth session, positive results are observed.The course is renewed approximately 3 weeks after the end of the first.It is necessary to correct the result.

And one more important point: prostatitis is one of the most insidious and common diseases in men, both in the senior and half -aged age category.Therefore, preventive measures to prevent the disease do not need to be postponed to later.Especially this applies to men who lead a sedentary lifestyle are subject to stress and hypothermia.
