Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate (prostate). The prostate is an auxiliary part of the male reproductive organs. It is carefully folded around the neck of the bladder, just below the body of the bladder; the urethra, or urinary tube, passes through the prostate. Due to its location around the urethra, the prostate, when enlarged, blocks the flow of urine to a greater or lesser degree.
Prostate enlargement is quite common in men over the age of 35. A large number of men over 50 years of age have more or less pronounced ulceration of the part of the gland adjacent to the urethra. Many of the diseases of older men are actually just a consequence of diseases of the genitourinary system, the main one being inflammation of the prostate.
More prone to prostate enlargement are obese men with a large belly and men who lead a sedentary lifestyle, as both hinder blood circulation in the pelvic region; as a result, blood stagnation is formed, which can cause an enlarged prostate.
As the gland enlarges, the amount of urine retained increases, which poisons the body over time.
Prostatitis occurs due to the introduction of an infection, most often from the urethra when it is inflamed, in particular with gonorrhea, urethritis, less often as a complication of common infections (tonsillitis, influenza, tuberculosis). Predisposing factors - local hypothermia, especially sitting on damp ground, sexual dysfunction - sexual excesses, sedentary lifestyle. As the patient, as a rule, pays little attention to these aspects of life, the disease progresses.
The satisfactory treatment of prostatitis is not yet known. Operations to remove the gland or part of it, injections to shrink the gland in many cases are unsatisfactory. It is necessary to eliminate the cause and, first of all, change one's lifestyle.
With all the skill of the surgeon, the operation is a small relief. It does not exclude the causes of illness, it does not restore health. Once enlarged, the prostate tends to enlarge again. Overeating, nervous excitement, overwork at work, sexual excesses, etc. contribute to its rapid increase. Tea, coffee, tobacco, alcohol and other stimulants give the same effect.
Acute and chronic prostatitis, symptoms
Symptoms of acute prostatitis, fever, frequent urination with pain, burning of the perineum, weakening of the pressure of the urine stream, pain in the rectum during defecation. In the stage of purulent inflammation, spontaneous opening of the abscess is possible and pus oozes out of the urethra or rectum. Treatment is carried out by a doctor. In some cases, surgery is necessary. Premature access to a doctor can lead to serious consequences - the spread of infection to surrounding organs and tissues, the occurrence of sepsis (blood poisoning), the transition of the disease to a chronic form, which can cause significant dysfunction of Organs genital organs - impotence, infertility.
Chronic prostatitis is characterized by a long course with periods of exacerbation and apparent recovery; it is manifested by burning in the urethra, in the perineum, scanty discharge from the urethra at the end of urination or defecation, increased fatigue, irritability. Avoid spicy foods and alcoholic drinks. During an exacerbation of prostatitis, sexual activity is excluded.

- fasting treatment
- With obesity and an enlarged prostate, fasting is recommended. But fasting only provides temporary relief if no lifestyle changes are made. A short fast is certainly not enough to significantly reduce prostate size. In fasting, urination is facilitated and some discomfort is removed.
- In the early stage of prostatitis, a day or two of fasting is usually enough to restore normal urine flow. This procedure can be repeated from time to time as needed. If the lifestyle remains unchanged, fasting brings little relief.
- Recipes from Vanga's Dictionary
- "Grind the charcoal from the burned linden well, brew it like coffee and drink it for 7 days straight. "

The constant use of animal protein puts a strain on the kidneys and other excretory organs, resulting in less and less uric acid being excreted from the body and, consequently, more of it being absorbed by the muscles. This condition is one of the causes of prostate disease. In this case, asparagus juice helps well along with carrot, beet and cucumber juices.
