Prostatitis is a serious disease in men. It not only affects the physical condition, but also leads to psychological problems. Therefore, representatives of the stronger sex should take serious preventive measures that will help prevent the onset of a disease called prostatitis.
Kegel exercises
The safest and most effective way to prevent prostatitis is to do Kegel exercises. They aim to strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor, improve blood circulation in the prostate and maintain male sexual function for many years. Such tasks can be done at any convenient time - at work, driving a car, walking.
Before doing the exercise, it is necessary to determine the muscles to be trained. This can be done while urinating - just by holding back the flow of urine.
The muscles involved in urinary retention are what you're looking for.
The first and easiest way to train is muscle tension. Keep them tense for five seconds. Then the muscles relax. The exercise is repeated 10 times. With daily practice, the repetition rate can be increased.
When the penis is in an erect state, the muscles being trained must be tense. As a result, the penis will rise higher. This exercise can also be repeated 10 times.
During training, a man should make sure that no other muscles contract. Do not help yourself with the muscles of the back, thighs or stomach. In such a situation, prevention of prostatitis will be ineffective.
For men who have just started exercising, it is advised to be in a prone position during the exercise. After a few weeks, you can practice in any other easy position.
Drug prevention of prostatitis
Prevention with drugs is not allowed for all men.
It should be done only by people who are at risk:
- with an inactive lifestyle;
- who abstain from sexual activity;
- stay in the cold for a long time;
- have a hereditary predisposition to this disease.
Also, drug prophylaxis with various drugs is used to prevent recurrence of acute prostatitis or transition from acute to chronic form. Only a doctor can prescribe medicine. It is contraindicated to take pills or other drugs on your own.
There are several forms of prophylactic drug release:
- Tablets;
- suppositories;
- Capsules;
- Solution for injection.
Tablets are used most often. For prevention, drugs containing herbs are used.
The most effective suppositories are suppositories. They have anti-inflammatory and antiaggregation effects. A feature of the drug is that it selectively affects the tissues and vessels of the prostate gland. If you regularly take medicine, blood circulation in the organs improves, hormonal balance becomes normal and local immunity increases. Suppositories must be inserted into the rectum.
Supplements in capsule form are very effective. If you regularly take medication with fish oil, you can prevent the development of not only inflammation of the prostate gland, but also other serious diseases (hypertension, diabetes mellitus).

General events
The prostate is a very sensitive organ in relation to a man's lifestyle. Bad habits, inactive lifestyle, dietary mistakes can cause disease. To prevent such diseases from occurring, some recommendations must be followed.
Rejection of bad habits will help prevent the occurrence of prostatitis. Smoking and alcohol violate the structure of the duct wall of the prostate gland. As a result, blood stagnation occurs, the formation of blood clots and iron does not receive the necessary amount of nutrients. There is a so-called congestive prostatitis. Also, bad habits lead to a weakening of local immunity, which contributes to the penetration of bacteria and viruses into the prostate.
Frequent physical activity or regular walking for at least 3-4 hours a day will lead to the normalization of blood circulation in the prostate. As a result, there is no reason for prostatitis to occur. Thanks to physical education, a man will be able to prevent the appearance of all types of inflammation of the prostate gland.
A regular sex life is the key to men's health. Sex normalizes hormonal balance. Also, the prostate is in constant tone. But intercourse should only be done with a condom. Otherwise, there is a risk of infectious prostatitis.
It should be noted that the health of the prostate lies in the hands of the man himself. And the quality and duration of a person's sexual life depends on the implementation of preventive measures.
