Exercises for prostatitis improve blood microcirculation and strengthen the muscles of the pelvis. The gymnastics complex will be recommended by the doctor on an individual basis. You can do it alone or in a group under the guidance of an instructor.
When is gymnastics necessary and when is it prohibited?
Exercise therapy for prostatitis is an auxiliary method of therapy. Gymnastics stimulates blood circulation in the affected male organ, eliminates congestion. This effect helps to speed up the recovery of a man with a chronic form of the disease. Gymnastics is important for the prostate and as a preventive measure.
