How to cure prostatitis with folk remedies, is it really possible to do it at all?

Reluctance to see a doctor is common among men, especially if the disease concerns the intimate sphere. However, although folk remedies for prostatitis in men can be very effective, they should be considered an addition to the regimen prescribed by a urologist, and not the main treatment.

Infectious pathology is treated only with antibacterial drugs, and to guarantee the result, it is advisable to pass an analysis for the pathogen, depending on the results of which the doctor will select the most effective medication (or several). And refusal from traditional therapy at the beginning of the disease, with the hope of healing with "natural" medicines, often leads to the transition of prostatitis to the chronic stage and the development of complications.
