How To Prevent Inflammation Of Prostate Gland

Perhaps there is no man who not fears prostatitis. In the meantime, it is better not to fear it but start preventing it. It is not difficult to prevent inflammation of prostate gland. Learn to do it.

One of most common causes of prostatitis are sexually transmitted diseases (STD). Men who do not suffer from such infections never get inflammation of prostate gland. Best way to protect from STD is to use condoms during sexual intercourse, especially when the man has no permanent partner. In case you do not follow this rule it is necessary to go to the doctor, make examinations and perform treatment if needed. Today most infections can be treated.

After you froze over you caught cold – quite common situation for most people. This occurs because overcooling weakens body immune defense and gives infections the possibility to become active. Under the cold action pathogenic bacteria and viruses become more aggressive in prostate gland. That is why men should never seat down on a cold or wet surface and should dress in season. Most dangerous is quick freeze, for example, when a man after sauna goes on freeze. If you like sauna, then it would be better to pour cold water over yourself – this is less dangerous for male health.

Each four days prostate gland produces liquid which is main component of sperm. In order to prevent prostate gland from congestive occurrences it should be released in due time naturally during ejaculation. Therefore it is necessary to make sex not less than twice a week. Sex 3- 4 times a week is perfect for prostate health.
