Nowadays, most doctors consider folk remedies to be no worse than medications and even recommend combining these two methods for effective treatment of prostatitis at home. Using folk recipes, you can not only alleviate the course of the disease, but also significantly strengthen the body's immune system.
Prostatitis mainly affects the prostate, which causes a severe inflammatory process.

Stagnation of blood in the veins of the scrotum and secretion of ejaculate have a negative impact on men's health. Treatment methods in each case are selected individually. This disease can be treated both in the hospital and at home. It is important to follow all instructions and recommendations of doctors. Basically, prostatitis has 2 forms: acute and chronic.

Most often, men aged 20 to 50 can suffer from this disease. Low sexual activity can cause the appearance of prostatitis. Men who smoke a lot, move little throughout the day, and are avid sauna enthusiasts are also at high risk of contracting this disease.

Symptoms of the disease:
- Daily discomfort in the groin, particularly in the testicles and penis.
- After going to the toilet, small drops of urine may be released when you are squatting, even if the bladder is currently empty.
If these symptoms are left untreated, more serious symptoms will appear after a short time. These include:
