Prostatitis is a very serious disease, often accompanied by various complications, much easier to prevent than to cure. According to doctors, it is possible to reduce the risk of developing inflammatory lesions of the prostate if you adhere to a healthy lifestyle, give up any bad habits, eat well, and do any kind of sports or gymnastics. What exercises for prostatitis should be done to quickly overcome this insidious disease and never get sick again?
Impact of physical activity on pathology
There are many reasons for the development of the disease, but most often it occurs due to stagnant processes in the pelvic area. Therapeutic gymnastics is aimed at eliminating them and normalizing the work of internal organs.
Certain prostatitis exercises stimulate the body to release the following hormones:
- Testosterone - affects potency.
- Endorphins - reduce the manifestation of pain resulting from external stimuli.
- Adrenaline - improves blood circulation.
Judging by reviews, the set of exercises can significantly improve the work of internal organs, due to which the healing process with drug treatment of pathology is almost doubled. In addition, physiotherapy normalizes metabolic processes and prevents the development of prostate stagnation.
Therapeutic exercises for early prostate inflammation
The pathology can be chronic or acute. In the first case, clinical manifestations are usually absent, and in the second, pronounced symptoms are almost always observed. Exercises for prostatitis in men can significantly improve the well-being of the patient. The Kegel technique is considered the most effective. It is based on the forced cessation of urination. To do this, you need to try to force and weaken the muscles of the anus, pubis and coccyx. Performing this procedure regularly will improve the reproductive system, increase erectile function and eliminate stagnant processes.
Complex of measures for acute inflammation of the prostate
Today, in medicine, various exercises have been developed for severe prostatitis. The easiest way is walking a short distance. During such walks, you will improve blood circulation in the internal organs of the pelvic region and your metabolism. But this is only possible if the man does not feel bad.
Chinese qigong breathing exercises are also very effective. This is good because all the organs are involved during the exercise. Breathe in full lungs of air, hold your breath for ten seconds, then breathe out sharply, sucking in as much of your stomach as possible.
Treatment of chronic inflammation of the prostate
Let's take a closer look. Prevention of prostatitis in men (exercises can be performed while sitting, lying or standing) is very important, since at the stage of remission the pathology can periodically recur, and physical activity can minimize this.
Standing gymnastics:
- Stand on one leg and move the other back and forth, trying to lift it as high as possible. The number of strokes can vary from 40 to 100 times.
- By leaning to the sides, you can improve blood circulation to the internal organs of the small pelvis.
- Squats help fight inflammation of the prostate. In this case, you should try to spread your knees in different directions. In one approach, seven times will suffice.
Seated prostatitis exercise:
- Walking on the buttocks. Take a position on the floor so that your torso is perpendicular to your legs. The spine should be straight. By exercising regularly, you can strengthen your groin muscles.
- Sit on the floor and spread your lower limbs to the sides, gradually increasing the angle between them. The load should be increased gradually so that the ligaments do not stretch.
Therapeutic exercises while lying down:
- Lie on your stomach and try to raise your legs as high as possible. Do the exercise three times in several sets.
- "Bridge". When a person stands on it, they use the muscles of the lower back, pelvis and anus.
- Get into a comfortable position on your back, lift your lower limbs and cross them at a 45 to 90 degree angle. If you experience severe pain at the same time, try the tummy exercise.
These prostate exercises for the prevention of prostatitis are among the best. At the same time, they are very versatile, as they can be performed even at home without simulators or specialized devices.
Yoga
So how does this affect the treatment of prostatitis? Many experienced doctors practice prostatitis and adenoma exercises, borrowed from Indian medicine. They allow you to increase potency, increase blood flow to internal organs, and improve a person's mental state. In addition, some of them contribute to the normalization of the functioning of the cardiovascular system.
For example, the "birch" pose improves blood circulation in internal organs. She suggests that a person should lift the lower limbs when exhaling, after which they rise for a few seconds behind the head. In this case, it is very important to monitor the rhythm of breathing, trying to keep it uniform.
The lotus position is also useful for treating inflammation of the prostate. However, the exercise is very difficult, so you cannot complete it on your own without the help of a profiled specialist. To avoid injury, you must first warm up the muscles by performing several squats. Next, take a seated position and cross your legs so that your feet are between your thigh and calf. In this position, you need to sit for at least five minutes.
Remedial gymnastics using sports equipment
What makes it special? Exercises for the prevention of prostatitis, which are performed with an ordinary ball, have turned out to be excellent. Anyone will do - for tennis, football and the like. Using these available tools, you can independently perform prostate massage, similar to that which is done in professional offices. Sit on the ball and roll it along your crotch. In order not to create a strong pressure on the internal organ, you need to rest both hands on the floor.
To combat stagnant processes, sports equipment is clamped between the knees and put on it as much pressure as possible. This exercise helps strengthen the muscles of the inner thighs and buttocks.
If you have a fitball, by performing rotational movements of the pelvis on it, you can effectively treat the inflammation of the prostate, which occurs in a chronic form. In this case, the legs should be bent at the knees at a 90 degree angle.
General tips and tricks
Prostatitis exercises for men can be done at home and in the gym. It is very important that sports activities are complete. At home, you can perform basic techniques and simultaneously practice swimming, walking and jogging for short distances. In addition, experts recommend doing regular exercise in the morning to strengthen various muscle groups and overall health.
Physical activity at home
To speed up the healing process and restore the normal functioning of the prostate, you need to do special prostatitis exercises every morning.
There are several, but the following are considered the best:
- Stand up straight and bring both legs together. Then, tighten the gluteal muscles for a few seconds and relax them as you exhale. Repeat the procedure 10 to 15 times. If you can feel the heat spreading to the lower abdominal area, then everything is done right.
- The starting position is the same as above, but this time the legs should be slightly apart. Squat down, draw air into your lungs, and return to the basic position as you breathe out. The feet should be firmly gripped to the ground. To increase the effectiveness of the exercise, force your buttocks along the way. You need to do squats 10 to 15 times.
- Lie on your stomach and cross your arms behind your head. Slowly lift the lower limbs, while spreading them to the sides. It is important to keep your breath even while exercising.
Prostate exercises to prevent inflammation should be started in small increments, gradually increasing the load. Without prior preparation, excessive exercise will do more harm than good.
Go to the gym
Many people, especially fitness enthusiasts, prefer to exercise for prostatitis in a gym or specialist center. They are equipped with all the necessary equipment for effective physical activity. By working on simulators, you can work simultaneously on all muscle groups or on individual areas.
Doctors recommend combining simulator exercise with lunges, deadlifts, squats with sports equipment, and step-lifts when treating prostatitis with physiotherapy. When performing them, the legs should be shoulder-width apart and the back should be kept in a perfectly horizontal position. Then take each leg one step at a time, crouching forward so that the knee reaches the floor.
Additional methods of treating prostatitis
What can have a positive effect on the elimination of the disease? For the treatment of the inflammatory process of the prostate, in addition to drug therapy, not only therapeutic exercises and massage are prescribed.
The following methods are also very often used to combat the pathology:
- Yoga. This was already discussed earlier. In this technique, there is a large number of exercises, during which there is a physical effect on the internal organs, due to which a healing effect is achieved.
- "Triangle". You should stand up and spread your legs as far as possible to the sides. The arms are extended at shoulder level. Then you need to lean forward, keeping your back straight, and try to reach your feet with your fingers. In this case, the body weight is alternately transferred from one leg to the other.
- Kegel system. It is a complex of physical exercises aimed at strengthening the muscles of the prostate and bladder.
These are just a few of the known treatments for inflamed prostate. You can learn more about them in consultation with a specialist.
Conclusion
Restorative gymnastics is perhaps the most effective method for treating and preventing prostatitis. But to achieve the best effect, it is recommended to combine it with a healthy lifestyle, quality rest and proper nutrition. Only an integrated approach will allow you to forget about the pathology forever.
