The Harm of Overexertion in Prostate Treatment

Question

Age 49. The tests were done a month ago, and my diagnosis is benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) of the first stage (prostate volume 36 cm³). The diagnosis was preceded by long-standing chronic prostatitis, which is still present. Recently, I realized that the answers to the questions: “How can I cure chronic prostatitis?” and “How can I heal the prostate in general?” — are the same: through a healthy lifestyle. I try to treat myself by running, applying your “faster – slower” rule. The results seem positive. My question is as follows: I usually train six days a week (taking Sundays off), but lately I’ve been experiencing excessive tightness in my leg muscles. To be honest, I even have to push myself to start moving. Could you please advise how to respond correctly, how to overcome this without harm? How should the prostate be trained properly?

Answer

The Importance and Benefits of Cyclical Physical Activity in BPH and Chronic Prostatitis

The problem is that you do not vary your activities (running, swimming, walking). Everything has become routine, and routine brings no joy. I know this feeling well — it is not pleasant. It is not exactly muscle soreness, but stiffness and a sense of heaviness in the body when moving. You should stop running for 3–7 days, until the elasticity of your muscles is fully restored — that is, until you no longer feel stiffness at the start of walking or running, and your body feels light and eager to move again. This will not harm your prostate recovery.

At the same time, I do not recommend complete inactivity on rest days. Try to stretch and relax the affected muscles periodically with gentle, short gymnastic exercises combined with diaphragmatic (abdominal) breathing. Gymnastics always provides a strong barrier against prostatitis and hyperplasia. Combine these forced rest days with reasonable dietary restrictions. In the future, do not let yourself reach this state again. Excessive, constant exercise causes muscle stiffness and a partial reduction of blood flow to certain tissues. If these muscles are near the prostate, they will contribute nothing beneficial to the healing process. Properly conducted training is a complete sequence of consecutive actions. From now on, pay careful attention to warming up, start movement slowly, shorten and regulate running distance or sprint duration if necessary, and monitor breathing depth closely. Oxygen deficiency during exercise is exactly what causes your current issues.

The Need to Understand the Full Scope of Knowledge in Treatment

In general, I try not to impose, but without the complete body of knowledge gathered in the methodology “Without Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia,” it will be difficult for you to recover. Understanding is crucial, and the information is structured so that without studying the supplementary materials, true comprehension simply will not occur. The rule that slow movement alternates with fast movement was not invented by me. If you look into the physiology of the process, you will immediately see that these principles are not new. It is very good that you apply this rule. Under these conditions, BPH and chronic prostatitis have difficulty progressing — for a long time, and eventually permanently.
