Prostatitis is a serious male disease. Not only does it affect the physical condition, but it can also cause psychological problems. Therefore, representatives of sexually strong people should take precautions seriously to help prevent the occurrence of a disease called prostatitis.
Kegel exercise
The safest and most effective way to prevent prostatitis is to perform Kegel exercises. They are designed to strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor, improve blood circulation to the prostate, and maintain a man's sexual function for many years. Such tasks can be performed at any convenient time - while working, driving a car, walking.
Before performing an exercise, it is necessary to identify the muscles to be trained. This can be done while urinating - just hold down the stream.
The muscles involved in urinary retention are exactly the muscles you are looking for.
The first and easiest training method is muscle tension. Keep them tense for five seconds. Then the muscles relax. Do 10 repetitions of the exercise. With daily training, you can improve your repetition rate.
When the penis is erect, the muscles being trained must be under tension. As a result, the penis should rise higher. This exercise can also be repeated 10 times.
During training, men should make sure that no other muscles contract. Don't help yourself work the muscles in your buttocks, thighs, or abdomen. In this case prostatitis prophylaxis will not be effective.
For men who are just starting to exercise, it is advisable to use the prone position during training. After a few weeks, you can train in any other convenient location.

general event
The prostate is a very sensitive organ related to a man's lifestyle. Bad habits, sedentary lifestyle, wrong diet can all lead to disease. In order to prevent such diseases from happening, some recommendations must be followed.
Reject bad habits, help to avoid the occurrence of prostatitis. Smoking and drinking damage the structure of the blood vessel walls of the prostate. As a result, the blood stagnates, clots form, and the iron doesn't get the nutrients it needs. There is a so-called congestive prostatitis. In addition, bad habits can lead to weakened local immunity, which allows bacteria and viruses to invade the prostate.
Frequent physical activity, or even regular walking for at least 3-4 hours a day, will normalize blood circulation in the prostate. As a result, there is no reason for prostatitis to occur. Thanks to physical education, a person will be able to prevent the appearance of all types of prostatitis.
Regular sex life is the key to men's health. Sex normalizes the balance of hormones. Furthermore, the prostate is in a constant state. But sexual intercourse should only use condoms. Otherwise, there is a risk of contracting infectious prostatitis.
It should be noted that the health of the prostate is in the hands of the man himself. The quality and duration of a person's sex life depends on the implementation of preventive measures.
