To completely get rid of diseases of the genitourinary system, a man needs complex treatment, which includes a variety of measures. This includes physical exercises, many of which are currently under development.

How does exercise affect the course of prostatitis?

The prostate gland consists of 3 lobes, between which there is a gap for the urethra. Each lobe contains vesicular fibers and cortex, and the prostate is located below the bladder (sphincter). This whole system is closely interconnected, due to which it functions normally.

When the prostate is affected (there are many reasons, including a sedentary lifestyle, static postures), the fiber loses its elasticity, the tone is reduced and blood circulation is disrupted. Therefore the blood is not supplied with the intensity with which it is needed and in small quantities. This deprives the genitals of nutrients. As a result, the synthesis of new cells slows down, local metabolism is weakened.

When the patient begins to lead an active lifestyle (doing special exercises for the pelvic organs), the following happens:

1. The blood supply to the genitourinary system is stimulated, against the background of which oxygen and other beneficial substances are nourished.
2. The functional ability of nerve cells is restored (prostatitis often occurs against a background of stress).
3. Prostate stagnation is eliminated.
4. The muscles in the perineum and the hip joints are strengthened, due to which the genitourinary organs are in the right anatomical position.
5. Metabolism is accelerated, fiber structure is normalized.
6. Tissues become more flexible.
7. The inflammatory process is reduced.

The effectiveness of physical activity for prostatitis has been proven by scientific research. The reason for this was the main cause of the disease - blockage of the prostate due to impaired blood supply.

Exercises for the treatment of chronic prostatitis

Exercises for chronic prostatitis aim to stimulate the prostate gland and increase strength. Basic Exercise Requirements:
