Prevention of prostatitis in men is a need for today, since from 30 to 50% of the stronger sex, one way or another suffer from this disease.
General preventive measures are divided into:
- primary, aimed at preventing prostatitis;
- Secondary, intended for those who have this disease revealed, and who needs to prevent it from transition to the chronic stage.
Primary prevention of prostatitis
Often prostatitis provoke stagnant processes that occur in the prostate gland.It is not well washed with blood on its own and therefore is 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 should perform physical exercises.They contribute to a blood flow, which leads to an improvement in 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.In order to better understand what muscles are in question, it is necessary to delay the stream when urinating for a while.This will cause the tension of a particular muscle group.They should be regularly strained to increase blood flow to the gland.
First you can try to make 10 contractions in a row.It only seems simple at first glance.From the fact that the muscles are not trained, discomfort may occur.It is necessary to make it a rule and make 5 times a day, 30 times, for example, during washing, on the way home or to work.When the exercises stop causing discomfort, you can perform up to 100 contractions in one approach.
This is just one of the exercises that need to be done in order to prevent prostatitis in men.Dr. Kegel suggested it.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;
- squats;
- wide swings;
- "Birch";
- "bike".
Exercises can be supplemented with walks.And this should be done more often.Men who are walking on foot will hardly suffer from prostatitis.The minimum “distance”, which needs to be held for the prevention of prostatitis - 4 km per day.

Shower
Primary prevention of prostatitis in men also involves other procedures, for example, a contrast shower directed to the perineum.This procedure perfectly increases blood flow in the gland.It is carried out very simply.A stream of water from the shower is directed to the crotch and its temperature periodically changes: 30 seconds - warm, almost hot water, 15 seconds - cool, room temperature.The procedure should not last more than 5 minutes.It is best done before bedtime.
Prostate massage
Massage of the perineum will be very useful for the prevention of prostatitis in men.It is better to make it lying.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.On the area where it ends, and you need to make efforts, but not excessive.Massage should be done for 4-5 minutes, better in the evening after a contrasting shower before bedtime.These procedures give a good blood flow to the prostate.And if you do them constantly, prostatitis can be avoided.
Constant sexual life
An important role in the health of a man, and therefore for the prevention of prostatitis, has sex.The frequency, as well as the nature of the sexual activity, affect the condition of the prostate directly.But you should not go to extremes: erratic sexual contacts will become an additional source of infection.Negatively, prolonged abstinence, intentionally delaying or interrupting the act, is also reflected in the health of the prostate gland.Therefore, the ideal option for the prevention of prostatitis in men is measured regular sex, with a permanent partner.
Proper nutrition
Reduces the likelihood of prostatitis and healthy diet.If you avoid overly high -calorie and spicy foods, diversify the diet, then the disease will not have an additional “loophole” in order to penetrate the body.The menu of each man should have vegetables, fruits, pumpkin seeds, seafood, garlic, walnuts.The use of alcoholic beverages (beer - especially) 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 on a cold coating.
Secondary prevention of prostatitis
But if the disease still could not be avoided, then after recovery you need to think about the secondary prevention of prostatitis.It includes the following events:
- Taking drugs;
- Regular visits to the urologist, regardless of whether there are clinical symptoms of the disease or not;
- Regular examination once every 3 months (recommended in the first year after comprehensive treatment has been carried out).In the next 3 years, visit a urologist should be 1 time every six months;
- After 40 years, a man must necessarily do an ultrasound of the prostate gland.
Prevention of chronic prostatitis with any drugs is prescribed only by a doctor.Their reception must be made regular.For the prevention of prostatitis, drugs are prescribed that affect the metabolism in the prostate gland, and the proofreaders of urodynamics.With inflammatory etiology of the disease, anti -inflammatory drugs are prescribed, the action of which is selectively aimed at improving the condition of the prostate.Taking antiviral drugs prevents the prostatitis of an infectious nature.If there is a bacterial nature in the history of the disease, the patient is indicated by antimicrobial drugs.For the prevention of prostatitis, dietary 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 method of prevention of prostatitis.At its core, massage is a mechanical effect that is very similar to the palpation of the prostate during diagnosis.During the 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 final result will be the acceleration of recovery processes.The massage course involves 8 to 10 procedures.They are held every other day.As a rule, after the 5th session, positive results are observed.The course is re -conducted approximately 3 weeks after the end of the first.It is needed in order to fix the result.
And one more important point: prostatitis is one of the most insidious and common diseases in men, both the senior and middle age category.Therefore, preventive measures to prevent the disease do not need to be postponed for later.Especially, this applies to those men who lead a sedentary lifestyle are subject to stress and hypothermia.
