Are exotic techniques useful?
How else can you get rid of prostatitis? The techniques are so different that you can find the most amazing methods.
ants
- These insects are able to defeat inflammation of the prostate thanks to the carboxylic acid released after the bite.
- This substance increases tissue trophism and activates blood circulation in the prostate.
- Common black ants, widespread in our region, are suitable for therapy. The disease can be treated in this way only during the remission period and in the absence of an allergy to carboxylic acid.
starvation
Therapeutic fasting helps to activate metabolic processes and this leads to: reduction of subcutaneous fat; weight loss, removal of excess fluids and toxins.
In this way, a general healing effect is achieved, but in the fight against prostatitis, such methods are not enough.
According to doctors, patients with prostate inflammation should follow the principle of proper nutrition. It is better to remove harmful foods from your diet than to completely give up food, even for a few days.
According to Neumyvakin
- Dr. Ivan Pavlovich Neumyvakin offers treatment for prostatitis with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide.
- These cheap drugs, available to Russian patients, can be easily purchased at a pharmacy or supermarket; the alarming fact is that they must be taken orally, most often on an empty stomach.
According to doctors, the declared therapeutic effect is rarely observed, and the harmful effect on the mucosa of the digestive tract is a frequent occurrence. Therefore, before resorting to exotic methods, consult a urologist or find real reviews of patients who have followed them.
Acupuncture
- Impact on the body's acupuncture points activates the synthesis of special substances that stimulate a mechanism to fight inflammatory processes. According to representatives of oriental medicine, acupuncture will cure a disease and eliminate its cause.
- Doctors believe that reflexology as the basis of treatment will not cope with the pathology, but as part of a complex treatment it can activate the body's hidden reserves and accelerate healing.
Hirudotherapy
- Leech treatment is important because. . . it is based on blood renewal.
- According to medical data, one third of the volume of biological fluid in the body is in reserve - subcutaneous capillaries and is not used in the general blood circulation.
- Leech bites help remove this reserve fluid and reducing its volume activates renewal processes. The result is improved blood supply to all parts of the body.
Hirudotherapy is one of the effective methods of alternative treatment, but leeches must be administered by a specialist. This will allow you to achieve a therapeutic result and will not lead to complications.
