There are two main causes of prostate inflammation - it's due to bacterial attack on the organ, or it's due to circulatory disturbances in the pelvic area. Practice has shown that the use of folk remedies to treat prostatitis has a positive effect.
The Benefits of Treating Prostatitis with Folk Methods
What is the prostate in general, what is it used for, and where is it located? This is a very important organ located around the urethra. It produces prostatic fluid, which is involved in sperm formation and gives sperm motility. Under normal conditions, the prostate is no larger than a walnut. When inflamed, it can reach large sizes and compress the urethra.
For the treatment of prostatitis, antibiotics, antiviral drugs, and immune-enhancing drugs are usually prescribed. As well as various procedures in the form of laser therapy, prostate massage, ultrasound, hydrotherapy, etc.
As you know, all drugs have indications and contraindications. There are no harmless antibiotics. Therefore, alternative treatments are preferred if possible.

Foods rich in zinc are beneficial, such as pumpkin, seafood, nuts, hulled, vitamin E-rich vegetables and fruits.
