What are the self-treatment methods for prostatitis?

Many men will become embarrassed to talk about prostatitis after suffering from it, and become unconfident in family life. In severe cases, it will affect the communication between husband and wife, and eventually lead to a rift in the relationship between husband and wife. However, it is very difficult to treat prostatitis, and the probability of recurrence is high. Modern medical research believes that self-treatment can effectively relieve prostatitis. So, what are the self-treatment methods for prostatitis?

Self-treatment of prostatitis 1. Prostate massage. Prostate massage is one of the traditional treatment methods. Studies have shown that proper prostate massage can promote the emptying of prostate gland ducts and increase local drug concentrations, thereby relieving the symptoms of patients with chronic prostatitis, but it is not suitable for acute prostatitis.

Self-treatment of prostatitis 2. Biofeedback therapy (instrumental therapy). Studies have shown that patients with chronic prostatitis have dyssynergia of the pelvic floor muscles or tension of the external urethral sphincter. Biofeedback combined with electrical stimulation therapy can relax the pelvic floor muscles and make them tend to be coordinated, while relaxing the external sphincter, thereby relieving the perineal discomfort and urination symptoms of chronic prostatitis.

Self-treatment of prostatitis 3. Heat therapy (physical therapy), mainly using the heat effect produced by various physical means to increase blood circulation in prostate tissue, accelerate metabolism, help reduce inflammation and eliminate tissue edema, relieve pelvic floor muscle spasms, etc. It has a certain effect of relieving symptoms in the short term, but the long-term effect is unclear. It is not recommended for unmarried and childless people.

When performing self-treatment for prostatitis, pay attention to your diet and never eat spicy food, quit smoking and drinking, keep a cheerful mood, divert your attention, don't worry too much about the condition, maintain a regular schedule, and insist on exercising.
