Exercises for chronic prostatitis are an important element of the recovery period. The disease has a negative impact on the reproductive function of men. To properly treat the disease and restore the body, you should visit a specialist.
Description of the disease
Prostatitis has an inflammatory nature. Pathology affects the prostate gland. The organ has several parts. Each part consists of a shell and a bubble tissue. The organ is located around the urinary canal under the bladder.
The prostate gland performs several functions. Bubble tissue is responsible for the production of fluid, which is the basis of sperm. Also in the subcortical substance, a certain amount of androgen is produced. This hormone is responsible for various functions of the male body and participates in the formation of the reproductive system.
In inflammation, a decrease in the functions of the prostatic gland is observed. The organ stops working properly. Several types of prostatitis are considered. Many patients are diagnosed with a chronic form of pathology. This type of prostatitis does not have pronounced signs. In rare cases, there may be an exacerbation of the disease. A man learns about the presence of pathology while undergoing a medical examination.
Chronic form has two varieties: bacterial and non-bacterial. Chronic bacterial prostatitis is caused by pathogens. They enter the urogenital system in various ways. Under the influence of bacteria, prostate cells die. The accumulation of affected tissues is accompanied by swelling of the affected lobe. In the absence of nutrients, pathogenic microbes leave the gland. Inflammation in the tissues persists. It is difficult to establish the cause of this kind of prostatitis. During the examination, there are rarely signs of vital activity of dangerous organisms. Most patients show no signs of infection. This feature affects the selection of treatment.
There is also non-bacterial chronic prostatitis. The disease causes a variety of reasons. At the first stages of development, the appearance of a symptomatology characteristic of prostatitis is observed. Symptoms can completely disappear on the fifth day after the onset of inflammation. A prolonged course of inflammation in the organ causes additional damage to the urinary system. This leads to the development of a variety of problems.
Causes of organ damage
Non-bacterial chronic prostatitis has a number of reasons. The following negative factors can cause illness:
- sudden change in ambient temperature;
- prostate injury;
- abnormal physical activity;
- change in hormone levels;
- a sharp increase in weight.
The cause of chronic prostatitis may be a change in the temperature of the environment. Supercooling of the body is fraught with inflammation of the tissues. With the defeat of the prostate, the chronic form of the disease gradually develops.
It can also cause overheating. Due to the intervention of high temperatures, the tissues expand. Frequent visiting of a bath or a sauna is dangerous for the health of the reproductive system.
Chronic prostatitis can develop if an organ is injured. Damage occurs when the coccyx zone of the spine is bruised. With a bruise, the tissues are squeezed. Some of the fibers die. This leads to the development of a pathogenic process. For this reason, when traumatizing the coccygeal zone, it is necessary to visit a specialist.
Negative influence and lack of active movements. Many men have a sedentary job and spend a lot of time behind the wheel. Small physical activity is accompanied by a slowing down of metabolic processes. The flow of blood in the small pelvis is difficult. The cells receive a small amount of oxygen. At the same time, the formation of new tissues slows down. Old cells accumulate in the prostate gland and cause a pathological process.
The culprit of chronic prostatitis can also be a hormonal disorder. The main work in the formation of male reproductive function is performed by testosterone. If, for whatever reason, the level of the hormone decreases, the man is diagnosed with chronic prostatitis. Prostate ceases to produce the required amount of substance. The tissues become inflamed. This is dangerous for the patient's erectile capacity.
The disease can cause malnutrition. The consumption of fatty and fried foods is dangerous for the weight of the patient. The increase in body weight is accompanied by pressure on the internal organs. Displacement of the gland and heavy weight cause a pathological process. The disease is detected with prolonged stay of the patient in this state.
Symptomatology of pathology
Chronic prostatitis can be detected only during routine examination. It is possible to suspect it by the appearance of a number of characteristic symptoms. For this disease, the following symptoms are characteristic:
- change in emptying of the bladder;
- unpleasant sensations in the sacral region;
- erectile dysfunction;
- change in the qualitative composition of seminal fluid.
In many patients, the characteristic of urination changes. The patient often visits the toilet. This is due to the formation of the cavity in the lower part of the bladder. When emptying, not all of the liquid can leave the urea cavity. This symptom is often found when taking a horizontal position. In this position, the residual liquid drains into the common cavity. There is a urge to urinate. Getting up, a man breaks this process. Frequent visits to the toilet are accompanied by insomnia. The patient becomes listless and inattentive.
Chronic form does not accompany acute pain. There may be an unpleasant pulling sensation in the sacral section. This symptom increases during the act of defecation. The reason for this is increased pressure on the organ. The walls of the intestine squeeze the prostate gland. Many patients do not pay attention to this sign of ailment.
With chronic prostatitis, intimate problems can develop. The inflamed organ ceases to produce the right amount of ejaculate. The process also affects the vas deferens. The erection is broken. If the pathology occurs in young people, the doctor first examines the prostate gland for inflammation.
The quality of seminal fluid should be closely monitored. Sperm has certain acidity and volume. With a chronic prostatitis, semen is thickened. Can change the color of the seminal fluid. If the patient has found such changes, it is recommended to visit the medical center. This will make it possible to detect the disease in time.
Diagnostic measures
To detect the disease, a number of diagnostic measures should be taken. The main examination is performed using an ultrasound machine. On the screen of the device, the doctor determines the boundaries of the organ. In a healthy patient, the prostate gland has a diameter of up to 5 cm. An increase in the size of one of the lobes indicates the presence of inflammation.
It is possible to detect the disease with the help of a smear from the urinary canal. To this end, the doctor recommends that the patient comply with certain rules a few days before the analysis. Taking a smear is accompanied by unpleasant sensations. The procedure allows you to determine the nature of the origin of prostatitis.
A small amount of blood fluid is taken for the study. Blood is studied for the presence of a large number of leukocytes. These cells are produced by the system. They have a protective role. Leukocytes capture dead tissues and remove them from the body.
After studying all the tests, the specialist selects an effective way to fight the disease.
Medical activities
Eliminating chronic prostatitis is not easy. The neglected form of the disease can not be medically affected. To properly conduct treatment, the doctor selects several schemes. The treatment regimen includes the following control methods:
- the effect of antibiotic drugs;
- using a special massage;
- adherence to the diet regime;
- implementation of a special set of exercises.
Inflammatory process in chronic form can be eliminated by exposure to antibiotics. Drug can be prescribed only by a specialist. It is not recommended to take medication independently. Antibiotics can affect the condition of the microflora of the urethral canal. Against this background, infection with pathogenic microorganisms occurs. Prostatitis is worse. The condition of the prostate gland worsens.
Together with drug therapy, a special massage is prescribed. The massage effect is carried out through the walls of the rectum. The procedure does not cause unpleasant sensations. The purpose of the massage is to increase blood circulation. The influx of blood helps to increase the supply of oxygen. Inflammation is eliminated faster.
For chronic prostatitis, diet should be followed. The consumption of fatty and fried foods is reduced. Increases the intake of protein products. To eat should be divided. Diet can reduce the burden on the prostate and reduce body weight.
Recommended complexes
The goal of exercises for chronic prostatitis is to increase circulation in the small pelvis.
Modern specialists have developed several sets of exercises, allowing to accelerate the recovery of the prostate gland. The following exercises are prescribed:
- Kegel complex;
- exercise therapy;
- implementation of asanas.
Kegel exercises are aimed at strengthening the muscular framework of the reproductive system. Strengthening of muscles is carried out in various ways. Reduce the manifestation of a chronic disease allows the compression of the sphincter.
For this, the patient needs to sit down. The legs are at right angles to the floor. In a sitting position, you need to strain the buttocks and squeeze the anus. In this state, you need to sit for half a minute. It is recommended to perform 30 compressions in three approaches.
The positive side of these exercises is the ease of execution. The patient does not need to visit the sports hall. Exercise does not cause fatigue.
More complex exercises are performed from the complex of physical therapy. These exercises should be performed daily under the supervision of the trainer. Doctors have developed a lightweight exercise program that you can do yourself at home.
Strengthen the circulation of blood helps the work of kicking. The patient needs to perform swings for five minutes. On each leg should be performed on 20 flies. When lifting the leg to the body, the man should try to touch the abdominal zone with the knee. This will increase the flow of blood and normalize metabolic processes in the pelvis.
Conventional squats are useful for prostate condition. This exercise must be performed with widely spaced legs. The man should lower the body without tilting. There are 20 sit-ups in three approaches. With this position of the body, the inflow of blood fluid to the gland increases. Strengthening blood circulation allows you to eliminate inflammation and reduce swelling.
Useful exercises are also the torso of the trunk. The body should be alternately tilted to the sides and forward. The exercise is done smoothly. The slopes should resemble rotation. You can execute several approaches in any number.
Separately, you should consider asanas. The complex of these exercises was developed by Tibetan specialists. Yoga allows you to strengthen the nutrition of tissues. Asanas are accompanied by two processes: normalization of respiration and increased delivery of nutrients. Yoga also contributes to the elasticity of muscles and the restoration of the position of vertebral discs.
