Many men do not undergo treatment for prostatitis, explaining this by the lack of time to visit the clinic, unsatisfactory conditions of state medical institutions or simply unwillingness to use the services of a doctor in such matters. In this article, you will learn how treating prostatitis at home can quickly rid you of this unpleasant disease.
In recent decades, cases of inflammation of the prostate gland and the number of men suffering from this disease have increased incredibly. Data from medical research are very disappointing: various forms of inflammation of the gland are diagnosed in almost half of forty-year-olds.

Moreover, these are only the figures that official medical statistics have, but in reality everything is much worse. After all, very few people do not try with their last strength not to pay attention to their ailment, but to visit a doctor in time, so often the presence of prostatitis is established already in the hospital, where a person ends up due to a serious illness. complications that have occurred. This can be explained by the fact that often the early stages of the disease are asymptomatic or are associated with mild discomfort that can be tolerated.
But even if a person still decides to go to a urologist, establishes his diagnosis and the necessary course of therapy, most likely he will be carefully treated only until the acute symptoms are removed and the condition normalizes. The traditional admonitions of doctors that, in their opinion, this is far from all, the treatment should be continued even if the painful symptoms have already weakened or even disappeared completely, that if you do not finish the treatment, the disease will return, etc. - for most patientsnothing more than empty shaking of air. The main reason why the therapeutic course does not end is the full workload at work and the lack of time to even drive a nail at home, and not go to the clinic.
The decision on the possibility of self-treatment of prostatitis can only be made by a doctor after an examination, the necessary tests and the appointment of drug therapy. In addition, the specialist must regularly observe the patient and monitor the course of treatment.
Imagine an ideal (well or almost ideal) picture: at the first warning symptoms, a person went to the doctor, went through all the examinations and examinations, diligently followed all the recommendations and was treated carefully. So far so good, gradually feeling better, finally seems to be making a full recovery.
But the doctor says that you still need to take medicine, take a course of physical methods, etc. All this takes time, which is already sorely lacking. But, according to the specialist, if the therapy is not completed, sooner or later a relapse will occur. What to do when there is absolutely no possibility to regularly visit the clinic, but you need to be treated? Except for acute cases, it is possible to successfully treat prostatitis in men at home, which will be discussed.
