Prostatitis is the most common pathology of the male genital area;one in two men over the age of 60 suffers from inflammation of the prostate.Very often we hear about folk remedies for prostatitis.
Treatment of prostatitis in men with folk remedies can be carried out only after consulting an andrologist and with complex therapy, otherwise serious complications are possible.
Treatment of inflammation of the prostate with folk remedies should be accompanied by maintaining a healthy lifestyle.A man needs to eat well and do exercises to improve blood circulation in the tissues.
If you neglect these recommendations, folk remedies will be ineffective, and this is due to impaired blood circulation and degenerative changes in the prostate.
Treatment of acute prostatitis with folk remedies
If the patient has signs of acute prostatitis, for example, sharp pain in the lower abdomen, severe burning when urinating and high temperature, weak urine flow, it is necessary to consult a doctor.Prostatitis can be infectious or non-infectious.For bacterial inflammation, it is necessary to take antibiotics.
If you do not take antibiotics and do not follow a course of medications, but treat a bacterial infection with folk remedies, there is a risk of provoking severe suppuration, which can provoke sepsis.It is especially dangerous to heat the prostate during infectious inflammation, since the bacteria multiply much faster with heat.
If the patient has a relapse of non-bacterial prostatitis, recipes of traditional medicine can be used in complex therapy.But not all prescriptions can be used together with medications.For acute prostatitis, the following remedies are effective:
- To strengthen the immune system and speed up recovery, it is useful to drink freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices.
- To relieve inflammation, prepare microenemas with chamomile decoction.
- Suppositories with propolis and cocoa butter are quite safe and effective.
- Pear compote without added sugar is effective against prostatitis.
It is not recommended to treat acute prostatitis with baths due to a bacterial infection that could cause the disease;it is better to abandon this method of therapy.
