Prostatitis is a very serious disease, often accompanied by various complications, which is 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 follow a healthy lifestyle, give up bad habits, eat well and do any kind of sport or gymnastics. What exercises for prostatitis should be performed to quickly defeat this insidious ailment and never get sick again?
Impact of physical activity on disease
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.
Some exercises for prostatitis 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 the reviews, a set of exercises can significantly improve the work of the 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 stagnation in the prostate gland.
Therapeutic exercises for inflammation of the prostate in the early stages
The disease 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 for men can significantly improve the patient's well-being. The most effective is the Kegel technique. It is based on the forced stop of urination. To do this, you need to try to strain 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.
A set of measures for acute inflammation of the prostate
Today in medicine, various exercises have been developed for severe prostatitis. The simplest is short distance walking. 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 well.
Chinese qigong breathing exercises are also very effective. It's okay because all organs are involved during exercise. Inhale full lungs of air, hold your breath for ten seconds, then exhale sharply, sucking in as much of your stomach as possible.
Treatment for chronic inflammation of the prostate
Let's take a closer look at this. Prevention of prostatitis in men (exercises can be performed while sitting, lying or standing) is very important, since in the phase of remission, the disease can recur periodically and physical activity can minimize it.
Standing gymnastics:
- Stand on one leg and move the other one back and forth, trying to lift it as high as possible. The number of hits can vary from 40 to 100 times.
- By bending to the sides, you can improve blood circulation in the internal organs of the small pelvis.
- Squats help with inflammation of the prostate gland. In this case, you need to try to spread your knees in different directions. In one approach, seven times will be enough.
Exercise on sitting prostatitis:
- Walking on the buttocks. Take a position on the floor so that the torso is at right angles to the 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 gradually increased so that the ligaments do not stretch.
Corrective gymnastics lying down:
- Lie on your stomach and try to lift your legs as high as possible. Repeat the exercise three times in several sets.
- "Bridge". When a person stands on it, they use their lower back, pelvis and anus muscles.
- Take a comfortable position on your back, lift your lower limbs and cross them at an angle of 45-90 degrees. If at the same time you feel severe pain, try doing the exercise on the stomach.
These prostate exercises for prostatitis prevention 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 it affect the treatment of prostatitis? Many experienced doctors practice exercises for prostatitis and adenoma, 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 position of the "birch" improves blood circulation in the internal organs. It suggests that a person should raise their lower limbs on exhalation, 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 the treatment of inflammation of the prostate. However, the exercise is very difficult, so you cannot complete it yourself without the help of a profiled specialist. To avoid injury, you should first warm up your muscles by doing several squats. Then, take a seated position and cross your legs so that your feet are between the thigh and calf. In this position, you must sit for at least five minutes.
Corrective gymnastics using sports equipment
What makes it special? Exercises for the prevention of prostatitis, which are performed with an ordinary ball, have proven themselves excellent. Anyone will do it - for tennis, football and others. Using these available tools, it is possible to independently perform a prostate massage, similar to what is done in professional offices. Sit on the ball and roll it down your groin. In order not to create strong pressure on the internal organ, it is necessary to rest with both hands on the floor.
To combat stagnant processes, sports equipment is fastened between the knees and applied to it as much pressure as possible. This exercise helps strengthen the muscles of the inner thighs and buttocks.
If you have a fitball, then by performing rotational movements of the pelvis on it, you can effectively treat inflammation of the prostate gland, which occurs in a chronic form. In this case, the legs should be bent at the knees at an angle of 90 degrees.
General tips and tricks
Exercise for prostatitis for men can be done both at home and in the gym. It is very important that sports activities are complete. At home, you can perform basic techniques while simultaneously engaging in swimming, walking and jogging for short distances. Also, experts recommend doing regular exercises in the morning to strengthen various muscle groups and overall health.
Physical activity at home
To speed up the healing process and restore normal functioning of the prostate gland, it is necessary to perform special exercises against prostatitis every morning.
There are a few, but the following are considered the best:
- Stand straight and put your legs together. Then, squeeze your gluteal muscles for a few seconds and relax them as you exhale. Repeat the procedure 10-15 times. If you feel the heat spreading into the lower abdominal region, then everything is done correctly.
- The starting position is the same as above, only this time the legs should be slightly apart. Squat down, draw air into your lungs and return to the basic position as you exhale. The feet must be firmly attached to the floor. To increase the effectiveness of the exercise, strain your glutes along the way. You need to perform squats 10-15 times.
- Lie on your stomach and cross your arms behind your head. Slowly raise the lower limbs, spreading them to the sides. It is important to keep breathing even during exercise.
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 specialized center. They are equipped with all the necessary equipment for effective physical activity. Working on simulators, you can work simultaneously on all muscle groups or on individual areas.
Doctors recommend combining exercise on simulators with lunges, deadlifts, squats with sports equipment and step-lifts when treating prostatitis with physical therapy. While performing, the legs should be shoulder-width apart and the back should be kept in a perfectly horizontal position. Then, alternately bring each leg forward with a squat so that the knee reaches the floor.
Additional methods for the treatment of prostatitis
What else can have a positive effect on the elimination of the disease? For the treatment of the inflammatory process in the prostate gland, in addition to drug therapy, not only therapeutic exercises and massages are prescribed.
The following methods are also very often used to combat the disease:
- Yoga. It has already been discussed above. In this technique there is a huge number of exercises, during the performance of which there is a physical effect on the internal organs, thanks to which a healing effect is achieved.
- "Triangle". You need to take a standing position and spread your legs as far as possible. The arms are extended at shoulder height. Next, you should lean forward, keeping your back straight and try to reach your feet with your fingers. In this case, the body weight is transferred alternately 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 some of the well-known treatments for prostate inflammation. You can learn more about them in consultation with a specialist.
Conclusion
Remedial gymnastics is perhaps the most effective method used to treat and prevent prostatitis. But for maximum 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.
