Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland (prostate). The prostate gland is an accessory part of the male reproductive organs. It is neatly wrapped around the neck of the bladder, just below the body of that organ; The urethra, or urinary tube, passes through the prostate. Due to its location around the urethra, the prostate gland, when enlarged, blocks the flow of urine to a greater or lesser extent.
Prostate enlargement is quite common in men over the age of 35. A large number of men over 50 years of age have more or less pronounced ulcers of the part of the gland adjacent to the urethra. Many of the diseases of older men are actually just a consequence of diseases of the genitourinary system, the primary of which is inflammation of the prostate gland.
More prone to prostate enlargement are obese men with large bellies and men who lead a sedentary lifestyle, as both disrupt blood circulation in the pelvic region; as a result, blood stasis forms, which can cause prostate enlargement.
As the gland enlarges, the amount of urine retained increases, which poisons the body over time.
Prostatitis occurs due to the introduction of an infection, most often from the urethra when it is inflamed, especially with gonorrhea, urethritis, less often as a complication of common infections (tonsillitis, influenza, tuberculosis). Predisposing factors - local hypothermia, especially sitting on wet ground, sexual dysfunction - sexual excesses, sedentary lifestyle. Since the patient, as a rule, pays little attention to these aspects of life, the disease progresses.
Satisfactory treatment of prostatitis is not yet known. Operations to remove the gland or part of it, injections to reduce the gland in many cases are unsatisfactory. It is necessary to eliminate the cause and, first of all, to change the lifestyle itself.
Despite the skill of the surgeon, the operation is a light relief. It does not exclude the causes of the disease, it does not restore health. Once enlarged, the prostate tends to enlarge again. Overeating, nervous excitement, overwork at work, sexual excesses, etc. , contribute to its rapid growth. Tea, coffee, tobacco, alcohol and other stimulants have the same effect.
Acute and chronic prostatitis, symptoms
Symptoms of acute prostatitis, fever, frequent urination with pain, burning of the perineum, weakening of the pressure of the flow of urine, pain in the rectum during defecation. In the stage of purulent inflammation, spontaneous opening of the abscess and exit of pus from the urethra or rectum is possible. Treatment is carried out by a doctor. In some cases, surgery is required. Premature access to the doctor can lead to serious consequences - the spread of infection in the surrounding organs and tissues, the appearance of sepsis (blood poisoning), the transition of the disease to a chronic form, which can cause significant dysfunction of the genital organs -impotence, infertility.
Chronic prostatitis is characterized by a long course with periods of apparent exacerbation and recovery; manifested by burning in the urethra, in the perineum, scanty discharge from the urethra at the end of the act of urination or defecation, increased fatigue, irritability. Avoid spicy foods and alcoholic beverages. During an exacerbation of prostatitis, sexual activity is excluded.
It is necessary to regularly monitor bowel movements.
Physical activity is recommended for people who work mainly in a sitting position, including walking, playing sports - running, swimming, tennis, etc.

- Recipe from Vanga's dictionary
- "We grind the charcoal from the burnt sturgeon finely, boil it like coffee and drink it for 7 days in a row. "

The constant use of animal proteins overloads the kidneys and other excretory organs, resulting in less and less uric acid being excreted from the body and, accordingly, more being absorbed by the muscles. This condition is one of the causes of prostate disease. In this case, asparagus juice helps well along with carrot, beet and cucumber juices.
