Six Exercises Good for Patients with Prostatitis

The incidence of chronic prostatitis is high, and its pathogenesis and etiology are not clear. Because of the unsatisfactory therapeutic effect of drugs alone, sports adjuvant therapy accompanied by drug treatment is necessary. It is also increasingly practiced and studied by some doctors and experts and scholars. 

 

Sports can promote blood circulation, treat and massage the prostate, and enhance the effect of natural medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill and other therapeutic drugs.

 

A recent study of 47,620 men, conducted by American scientists for 14 years, shows that active participation in physical exercise can help slow the spread of prostate cancer cells. Participants participated in sports, including walking, running, swimming, tennis, cycling, and gymnastics. The study also found that men over 65 years of age, who frequently participate in sports, are about 70% less likely to develop prostate cancer than the general population. 

 

"Men over 65 years of age are significantly less likely to develop advanced prostate cancer if they exercise more than three hours a week," the study said. So, for prostatitis patients, how should they exercise to receive good results?

Patients should take fast walking 3 km, 30 minutes a day, and exercise at least four days a week. Walking does not require full load, as long as the intensity of exercise reaches 60 to 70%, it can play an auxiliary therapeutic role.

 

2. Jogging

Jogging is the best way to maintain the prostate. When running, the pelvic floor muscles relax regularly and rhythmically, which can make the blood of the prostate and its surrounding organs and tissues live.

 

3. Swimming

When swimming, patients with chronic prostatitis can relax the muscles around the prostate. Abdominal muscle traction can promote systemic blood circulation and lymphatic circulation, massage the prostate and its surrounding organs and accelerate blood supply.

For patients with prostatitis, traditional health exercises, such as Taijiquan, can relax the muscles of the whole body and reduce the tension of blood vessels. According to traditional Chinese medicine, Taijiquan has the functions of tonifying kidney essence, strengthening muscles and bones, and resisting diseases.

Therefore, the intensity of exercise should be moderate. Exercise intensity depends on your habits and age.
