Today, most doctors believe that folk remedies are no worse than drugs and even recommend combining both of these methods for effective treatment of prostatitis at home. Using folk recipes, you can not only alleviate the course of the disease, but also significantly strengthen the body's immune system.
Prostatitis primarily affects the prostate, which causes a strong inflammatory process. The disease can begin to develop suddenly due to the fact that pathogenic bacteria, viruses and fungal pathogens enter the prostate. Stagnation of blood in the veins of the scrotum and excretion of ejaculate negatively affect men's health. Treatment methods are selected individually in each case. This disease can be treated both in the hospital and at home. It is important to follow all the instructions and recommendations of the doctor. Basically, prostatitis has 2 forms: acute and chronic.

Most often, men aged 20 to 50 can suffer from this disease. Low sexual activity can cause prostatitis. Those men who smoke a lot, move little during the day and are passionate sauna lovers are also at high risk of this disease. All of the above-mentioned factors have a negative effect on the male body, which is why lymph and blood cannot circulate normally through the pelvic organs. Because of this, the immune system is weakened, and various viruses and bacteria can enter the prostate.
If the disease is not treated in time, it can become chronic.
Symptoms of the disease:
- Daily discomfort in the groin, especially in the testicles and penis.
- After using the toilet, small drops of urine may be released when squatting, even though the bladder is currently empty.
If these symptoms are not resolved, more serious symptoms will appear after a short period of time. This includes:
