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 still accompanies it. Recently, I realized that the answers to the questions: how to cure chronic prostatitis? how to heal the prostate in general? — are the same: through a healthy lifestyle. I try to treat myself with running, applying your “faster – slower” rule. The result seems positive. My question is this. I usually train six days a week (taking Sundays off), but lately I’ve been feeling excessive tightness in my leg muscles. To be honest, I even have to push myself to start moving. Could you please tell me how to react correctly, how to overcome this without harm? How to train the prostate properly?

Answer

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

The problem is that you don’t diversify your activities (running, swimming, walking). Everything has turned into routine, and there’s no joy in that. I know that feeling — there’s nothing good about it. It’s not exactly muscle soreness, but there’s stiffness, a heaviness in the body while moving. You should stop running for 3–7 days, until the elasticity of the muscle tissue is fully restored — more precisely, until you no longer feel stiffness at the start of walking or running, and your body feels light and eager to move again. This won’t harm your prostate recovery. At the same time, I don’t recommend doing absolutely nothing during rest days. Try to stretch the problem muscles from time to time with smooth, short gymnastic exercises combined with diaphragmatic (abdominal) breathing. Gymnastics always acts as a powerful barrier against prostatitis and hyperplasia. Combine these forced rest days with justified dietary restrictions. In the future, don’t let yourself reach this state again. With excessive constant exercise, you’ve provoked muscle rigidity — and therefore, a partial reduction in blood supply to certain tissues. If these muscles are located near the prostate, then you’ve contributed nothing beneficial to the healing process of prostate adenoma. A properly conducted training session is a whole sequence of actions. From now on, I advise you to always pay attention to the warm-up, start movement slowly, shorten and regulate the running distance or the length of accelerations if necessary, and carefully control the amplitude of breathing. The lack of oxygen 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. It’s hard without understanding, and the volume of information is structured in such a way that without studying the hidden materials, true comprehension simply won’t arise. And the rule where a slow pace of movement alternates with a fast one wasn’t invented by me. Once you delve a bit into physiology, you’ll immediately see that these ideas aren’t new. It’s very good that you apply this rule. Under such conditions, BPH and chronic prostatitis find it uncomfortable to progress — for a long time, and eventually forever.
