Duration of therapy

Effective treatment of all forms of prostatitis depends on timely diagnosis of the pathology, the qualifications of the treating doctor and the therapy prescribed by him. But the most important condition is whether the patient himself will help himself?

Are exotic techniques useful?

How else can you get rid of prostatitis? The techniques are so diverse that you can find the most amazing methods.

Ants

• These insects are able to defeat prostate inflammation thanks to the carboxylic acid released after the bite.
• This substance increases tissue trophism and activates blood circulation in the prostate.
• Common black ants, which are widespread in our region, are suitable for therapy. The disease can be treated in this way only during the period of remission and in the absence of an allergy to carboxylic acid.

Starvation

• Therapeutic fasting helps to activate metabolic processes, and this leads to: a reduction in subcutaneous fat; weight loss, removal of excess fluid and toxins.

In this way, a general healing effect is achieved, but in the fight against prostatitis such methods are not enough.

According to doctors, patients with prostate inflammation must follow the principle of proper nutrition. It is better to remove harmful foods from your diet than to completely give up food, even for a few days.

According to Neumyvakin

• Dr. Ivan Pavlovich Neumyvakin offers treatment for prostatitis with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide.
• These inexpensive remedies, available to Russian patients, can easily be purchased at a pharmacy or supermarket; the alarming fact is that they must be taken orally, most often on an empty stomach.

According to doctors, the declared therapeutic effect is rarely observed, and the detrimental effect on the mucous membranes of the digestive tract is a frequent occurrence. Therefore, before resorting to exotic methods, consult a urologist or find real reviews of patients who followed them.

Acupuncture

• Impact on acupuncture points of the body activates the synthesis of special substances that trigger a mechanism to combat inflammatory processes. According to representatives of oriental medicine, acupuncture will cure a disease and eliminate its cause.

• Doctors believe that reflexology as the basis of treatment will not cope with pathology, but as part of a complex treatment it can activate the body’s hidden reserves and speed up recovery.

Hirudotherapy

• Treatment with leeches is relevant because. . . is based on blood renewal.
• According to medical data, a third of the volume of biological fluid in the body is in reserve - subcutaneous capillaries, and is not used in the general bloodstream.
• A leech bite helps remove this reserve fluid, and reducing its volume activates renewal processes. The result is improved blood supply to all parts of the body.

Hirudotherapy is one of the effective methods of alternative treatment, but leeches must be administered by a specialist. This will allow you to achieve a therapeutic result and will not lead to complications.

Massage for prostatitis
