Prostatitis is a serious disease in men. This not only affects the physical condition, but also leads to psychological problems. Therefore, representatives of the stronger sex should seriously take preventive measures that will prevent the occurrence of a disease called prostatitis.
Kegel exercises
The safest and most effective way to prevent prostatitis is to perform Kegel exercises. They are aimed at strengthening the muscles of the pelvic floor, improving blood circulation in the prostate and maintaining the sexual function of men for many years. Such tasks can be performed at any convenient time - at work, driving a car, walking.
Before performing the exercises, it is necessary to determine the muscles to be trained. This can be done during urination - simply by holding the urine stream.
The muscles involved in holding urine are the ones you're looking for.
The first and easiest way to train is muscle tension. Hold them tight for five seconds. Then the muscles relax. The exercise is repeated 10 times. With daily training, the repetition rate can be increased.
When the penis is in an erect state, the muscle being trained must be tight. As a result, the penis should grow even more. This exercise can also be repeated 10 times.
During the training, the man should take care that no other muscles contract. Do not help yourself with the muscles of the buttocks, thighs or abdomen. In such situations, prevention of prostatitis will not be effective.
For men who have just started doing exercises, it is recommended to be in a lying position during training. After a few weeks, you can train in any other suitable position.
Prevention of prostatitis with drugs
Drug prevention is not allowed for all men.
It is carried out only by persons who are at risk:
- with a sedentary lifestyle;
- who abstain from sexual activity;

Also, medical prophylaxis with various drugs is used to prevent repeated relapses of acute prostatitis or the transition from acute to chronic. Only a doctor can prescribe medication. It is contraindicated to take tablets or other drugs on your own.

If you take medicines regularly, blood circulation in the organ improves, hormone balance is normalized and local immunity increases. Suppositories must be inserted into the rectum.
Nutritional supplements in the form of capsules are very effective. If you regularly take medicines with fish oil, you can prevent the development of not only inflammation of the prostate, but also other serious diseases (hypertension, diabetes mellitus).

General events
The prostate is a very sensitive organ in relation to the lifestyle of men. Bad habits, sedentary lifestyle, dietary mistakes can cause disease. In order to prevent the occurrence of such a disease, it is necessary to follow a series of recommendations.
Refusal of bad habits will help to avoid the occurrence of prostatitis. Smoking and alcohol damage the structure of the walls of blood vessels in the prostate. As a result, blood stagnates, blood clots form, and iron does not receive the required amount of nutrients. There is the so-called congestive prostatitis. Also, bad habits lead to a weakening of local immunity, which contributes to the penetration of bacteria and viruses into the prostate.
Frequent physical activity or even regular walking for at least 3-4 hours a day will lead to the normalization of blood circulation in the prostate. As a result, there will be no reason to develop prostatitis. Thanks to physical training, a man will be able to prevent the occurrence of all types of prostate inflammation.
A regular sex life is the key to men's health. Sex normalizes the balance of hormones. Also, the prostate is in constant tonus. But intercourse should only be with the use of a condom. Otherwise, there is a risk of developing infectious prostatitis.
It should be noted that the health of the prostate is in the hands of the man himself. And the quality and duration of a person's sexual life depends on the implementation of preventive measures.
