Breathing and Its Role in the Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and Chronic Prostatitis

Movement and stillness, firmness and softness, relaxation and tension—everything in the living world is expressed through the continuous rhythm of inhalation and exhalation. In this rhythm, the body maintains balance, adapts to stress, and restores internal regulation through physiologically correct breathing that supports natural self-healing mechanisms. Without a correct understanding of breathing physiology and without conscious breathing habits, any attempt to improve health is unlikely to produce stable results, especially when it comes to prostate function and long-term male health maintenance.

Oxygen absorbed through the lungs enters the bloodstream and is transported by red blood cells to every tissue, including organs of the pelvic region. Inside the cells, it becomes an essential participant in oxidation processes that support cellular respiration and metabolism as the basis of energy production. Life itself is impossible without these reactions. For the prostate gland, adequate oxygen delivery plays a direct role in maintaining normal circulation, tissue nutrition, functional balance, and physiological recovery processes.

The method “Without Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia” gives a detailed explanation of breathing principles. In this article, I will clarify its specific features, taking individual physiological differences into account, and outline several simple but fundamental rules applicable to natural recovery and non-drug prostate treatment. Understanding and applying them helps avoid serious mistakes when working to restore prostate health in cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia and chronic prostatitis.

Only Benefits and Nothing Else

First, the essentials. Any changes to breathing—especially intentional ones—should never cause pronounced discomfort, deterioration of well-being, or a feeling of exhaustion. This applies equally to running, walking, swimming, and prostate-focused physical exercises used in chronic prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia management. At the initial stage of practice, conscious self-monitoring is not optional but necessary for safe adaptation.

Assess your condition comprehensively. Pay attention to sleep quality and duration, tolerance to physical activity, and overall vitality. Monitor heart rate in different situations, blood pressure, and body temperature. Even changes in appetite and daily fluid intake provide valuable information, as they indirectly reflect the body’s adaptation to breathing loads and oxygen utilization. Such observation allows breathing practice to remain beneficial rather than harmful.

Now about the air itself. The air we inhale is a mixture of gases containing, on average, about 20.9 percent oxygen. Regardless of differing theoretical interpretations, this concentration corresponds to natural conditions of human existence and supports normal physiological and restorative processes, including blood circulation in the prostate. For prostate health, stable oxygen availability is a basic prerequisite.

One of My Unsafe Experiments on Myself

At an early stage of my research, I once conducted a simple but instructive experiment on myself. In a small enclosed space, I lit a candle to accelerate oxygen consumption and began breathing slowly and deeply, altering my habitual breathing rhythm. I placed a thermometer in my armpit. Within a few minutes, my body temperature rose by approximately 0.4 degrees. Excess carbon dioxide caused noticeable discomfort and anxiety, indicating impaired gas balance. My nervous system clearly signaled that the experiment should be stopped—and never repeated.

From that moment, I learned one of the most important rules of safe living: inhaled air must be as fresh as possible and contain an optimal level of oxygen, especially during breathing exercises. This rule becomes especially critical during physical activity, when oxygen demand increases many times over. Even in a relatively large room, oxygen concentration gradually decreases due to carbon dioxide accumulation.

An open window alone does not ensure full air exchange. Drafts are unsafe. Exercising with a wide-open window or balcony door is acceptable, but the best results are achieved outdoors. Fresh air provides the most favorable conditions for circulation, breathing efficiency, and recovery processes.

For this reason, I remain skeptical of health-focused workouts in enclosed gyms or studios, where proper ventilation is difficult to maintain. Whenever possible, physical activity should take place outdoors—in a park, forest, or near water, away from polluted areas. This approach is especially important when performing exercises aimed at improving prostate health, supporting circulation, and restoring male health in benign prostatic hyperplasia and chronic prostatitis.

On Some Misconceptions

Mastering the secrets of healthy breathing is not easy. One significant obstacle is the abundance of contradictory recommendations that often lead people astray. Modern science has studied the breathing process in considerable depth, leaving almost no gaps. Therefore, if someone offers “the latest methods” or “revolutionary breathing devices,” they should be approached with caution.

The natural laws of breathing are perfect in themselves — humans only need to follow them. Do not breathe through tubes, water jars, exercise devices, or other artificial aids. Such methods are, at best, ineffective. If in doubt, observe yourself while performing such procedures — this may help evaluate them objectively. There should be no intermediaries between your lungs and fresh air.

Breathing pairs wonderfully with relaxation, but the most powerful health-improving effect occurs when it is combined with enhanced blood circulation. Therefore, there is no better means than reasonable physical activity. During exertion, such as walking, running, or swimming, you should not restrict your breathing. Any exercises without overstrain will be beneficial.

There are different approaches — qigong, yoga, and various breathing practices. Even if their principles are not fully understood, their general aim is correct: anything that stimulates the prostate is beneficial. The main point is not to rely exclusively on medicinal products if you feel their ineffectiveness.

It is commonly believed that diaphragmatic breathing is contraindicated in hypertension. However, practice shows otherwise. Observations using a blood pressure monitor confirm that amplitude breathing causes wave-like contractions of internal organs and blood vessels, naturally affecting blood pressure.

A deep inhalation followed by a pause helps lower blood pressure, while exhalation followed by a pause raises it. Moreover, the longer the exhalation pause, the higher the reading. Therefore, in cases of hypertension, do not hold your breath for long after exhaling: a few seconds is sufficient. Excessive effort may cause spasms, which can be harmful. This example is provided because hypertension often accompanies benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
