Treatment of prostatitis with saline

In medicine, saline solution for prostatitis is most often used. It has the following properties:

• Normalization of blood circulation;
• Removal of inflammation processes;
• Suppression of bacterial activity;
• Elimination of itching, burning and soreness.

There are many options for treating prostatitis with salt, of which the most popular are saline dressings (onlays or pads), baths and microclysters.

How to apply a saline dressing for prostatitis?

Basic rules to follow when using dressings (also called pads) with salt:

• Dressings are acceptable, but not compresses;
• The concentration of the solution should be 8-10%, otherwise, instead of benefit, the body will be harmed;
• It is permissible to use gauze, linen, cotton fabric for gaskets - materials that are breathable, they must be sterile;
• Gauze should be folded in 8 layers, fabric - in 4;
• Water for procedures must be hot - at least 60 degrees;
• Saturate the material with the solution and squeeze lightly so that it dries as long as possible;
• It is strictly forbidden to use cellophane or compress paper over the lining, you just need to fix it with a bandage;
• It is important to take a warm, soapy shower before and after.

The main advantages of saline dressings are:

• Affordability - gauze and bandage are ubiquitous and cheap;
• Simplicity - making an overlay easy;
• No discomfort - the bandage does not get in the way and does not cause pain.

After preparing the solution, it is necessary to properly soak the bandage with it and apply it to the groin area. The use of lumbar pads is also permissible. They should be secured with a bandage and left overnight. The first results from such treatment appear after 5-7 procedures.

Salt Baths

Salt, dissolved in a large amount of water, relieves pain by increasing blood flow, fights inflammation and enhances the effect of drug therapy. It is important to agree on such a method of treating prostatitis with a urologist due to possible contraindications.

In the treatment of prostate diseases, it is recommended to use sea salt. To prepare a bath, take water with a temperature of 35 degrees and dissolve 2 handfuls of salt in it. You need to stay in the bathroom for 20 minutes, trying to come to a state of rest.

An additional advantage of the procedure is the elimination of the effects of stress. To do this, add a few drops of essential oil (lavender, geranium, bergamot) to the bath, which has a relaxing effect. First, you need to make sure that there is no allergy to phyto essence. The duration of the course and the frequency of procedures are determined by the attending physician. On average, 2-3 times a week for several months.

The second method of taking a bath differs from the first only in that the salt does not just get into the water, but is first poured into a tissue bag. When collecting water, the jet must pass through it. The amount is calculated from the proportion of 500 g of salt per 100 liters of water.

Microclysters

The least known, but also applicable for prostate treatment, is the setting of salt microclysters. Advantage - better absorption into the body (salt quickly enters the blood vessels and begins to act).

An important condition for enema - the procedure is carried out only after the removal of acute inflammation. Also, enemas can be harmful for prostatitis if the concentration is incorrectly selected (everything is strictly individual, you need to consult a doctor). Approximately 2 tablespoons per 250 ml of water (the salt must completely dissolve, the temperature of the solution before administration is 28 degrees).

Microclysters from sea salt cleanse microflora and destroy pathogenic microorganisms. They also saturate the body with a healing complex of minerals. For the solution, the Dead Sea salt is considered the best.

Treatment with prostate adenoma salt

For prostate adenoma (BPH), saline solutions are also used, but doctors recommend using them only in the early stages. During this period, salt therapy eliminates discomfort and painful symptoms. Treatment with salt of adenoma of the prostate at a late stage is contraindicated, in this case, the aggravation of the disease is possible.

The first days after the start of the use of saline dressings, minor exacerbations of the disease are possible - the presence of discharge, pain during urination. This is due to the active elimination of toxins and pus from the body. Unpleasant side effects usually go away on their own (2-3 days).

For prostate adenoma, it is important to use Dead Sea salt. The methods of treatment are the same as in the treatment of prostatitis, and they must be agreed with the urologist and andrologist. The method is selected based on the current state of the patient. It is advisable to combine salt therapy in combination with medication and physiotherapy.
