Natural Remedies for Prostatitis
How to deal with prostatitis with folk methods and means? Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland that develops slowly and lasts for a long time. People with prostatitis are prone to chills, fever, joint and groin pain. This is mainly due to a bacterial infection that swells up the prostate, causing pain during urination and flu symptoms.
Types of prostatitis
We are talking about acute and chronic prostatitis in terms of duration, in the first case lasting several weeks. In the second case, the disease is lifelong.
Causes of prostatitis
- Bacterial prostatitis: a disease caused by a bacterial infection of the prostate;
- Non-bacterial prostatitis: causes unknown and deeper analysis needed.
Symptoms
The most common symptoms of prostatitis are:
- Pain and discomfort between the scrotum and anus, penis and lumbosacral region;
- Frequent mucous discharge;
- Inflamed prostate gland;
- Pain in the penis during and after urination;
- Incontinence;
- Weak urinary tract;
- Inability to clear the bladder;
- Repeated need to urinate frequently during a night's sleep;
- Painful ejaculation;
- Erectile dysfunction.
This quick guide will show you what herbal remedies are to help with prostatitis at home:
Prostatitis in treatment protocols
By paying attention to nutrition and performing the necessary treatment, a normal life is ensured!
The traditional treatment for this condition was (and for many urologists still is) based on antibiotics, although they have side effects. Urologists do not approve of their use if they cannot heal the patient.
However, there are edge cases where men have been consistently taking antibiotics for years without any results. Reducing symptoms may require changes in lifestyle, diet, career, attitudes and expectations.
Quercetin
Quercetin is an excellent remedy when the fight against prostatitis becomes unbearable. Take 2 g (2000 mg) of quercetin per day for a 3 week cycle with 1 week rest. Quercetin can also be obtained in small amounts from natural sources such as broccoli and rooibos (South African tea tree) at home.
In addition to quercetin, it is appropriate and beneficial to take some supplements to strengthen the immune system:
- Chondroitin Sulfate: This substance releases a large amount of active chemical ingredients that inhibit the sensation of pain.
- Calcium and Vitamin D: Adequate calcium integration is vital for the proper functioning of the immune system. To protect the prostate from cancer, it is recommended that you always take vitamin D3 along with calcium. Studies have shown that taking calcium alone can contribute to the development of prostate cancer.
- Ester C: Take 2g per day. It lowers the histamine in the blood by up to 38%.
- Vitamin E with Selenium: Take every other day. It supports the immune system.
- Zinc: 30 mg daily for a 4-week cycle. Vital for prostate health.
- Fish oil: Anti-inflammatory.
- Linseed oil: Contains anti-inflammatory oils. Take 1 tablespoon daily, if possible.
Useful information
- Using a condom during intercourse or masturbation prevents overstimulation of the pelvic nerves with consequent pain relief.
- Alpha blockers help relax muscles.
- Antihistamines have anxiolytic and analgesic properties.
- Anticonvulsants are useful for neuralgia.
- Botox injections (performed only by experienced urologists) temporarily "kill" the nerves, smoothing the degranulation of mast cells.
- Synthetic codeine derivatives help relieve pain. In theory they are not addictive, but some men do have problems that they cause.
- Calcium Glycerophosphate soothes pain immediately. Take with a little water, especially in combination with acidic foods that irritate the inflamed bladder and prostate.
- Benzodiazepines reduce anxiety and promote muscle relaxation.
Additional positive effects can be caused by:
- Anti-inflammatory drugs;
- Melatonin;
- Seed Palmetto;
- Pollen extract;
- L-carnitine;
- Viagra;
- Hot tubs (but not durable);
- Regular ejaculation;
- Walnuts.
Additional tips
- Irritants are found in excess in some foods such as sugar, alcohol, spices, vinegar, caffeine, coffee, chocolate, sodium benzoate, dairy products, highly acidic foods (eg, tomatoes, blueberry drinks). A diet that excludes these foods will be of immense benefit.
- Sexual activity: Too much sex or too little sex. The right balance must be found. It is best to avoid "tantric" sex, the practice of which has undesirable consequences.
- Don't use marijuana!
- Avoid stress.
- Avoid strenuous exercise.
- Do not take medications that may cause urinary retention. Pay attention to decongestants and antihistamines. Some men report problems taking antidepressants. Others report worsening symptoms after ingestion of thermogenesis. Testosterone has also been shown to cause disease.
Other natural home remedies for prostatitis
Colloidal Silver
These are tiny particles of silver (nanoparticles) placed in a solution of distilled water. Silver, consumed as colloids, is non-toxic and has antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. It acts as a natural antibiotic and can be taken alone or in combination with other antibiotics. It is very effective, especially for the treatment of bacterial prostatitis.
Palm
This is one of the most famous natural remedies. The fruits of this plant have a balancing effect on the male hormonal system and are used to treat prostate problems and alopecia at home.
Lycopene
Lycopene is an antioxidant substance found primarily in tomatoes, but also in other red or pink fruits such as watermelon and grapefruit. According to some studies, this substance fights the development of prostate cancer.
Prostatic massage
Prostate massage is an ancient practice used for preventive and therapeutic purposes at home. Although massage is known in the West to induce sexual desire, it can actually help relieve symptoms of prostatic hypertrophy or prostatitis.
Very important tips
- Avoid stress.
- Avoid long sitting positions.
- Avoid driving trucks, cycling and riding.
- Avoid excessive exercise and prefer calmer gymnastics.
Avoid foods that cause reactions such as catarrh, abdominal pain, diarrhea, headache, rash, joint pain. There are onions and broccoli (contain quercetin). Climate: Warm and dry climates are preferable to cold and humid climates.
