Prostatitis is a formidable disease of the male sexual sphere, which often affects young people who have not reached forty years old.Although its symptoms - a decrease in sexual attraction, difficult urination, groin pain - are very painful, however male representatives are in a hurry to seek medical help.
And the fault of this is not enough information on this disease, there are too many myths and prejudices about it.
However, the manifestations of prostatitis are exacerbated only over time, therefore, at the first signs of prostatitis, it is urgent to contact a qualified doctor-urologist.
The causes of prostatitis
Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate gland.Doctors classify the acute stage of the disease and chronic.If the first is left without treatment, inflammation goes rapidly in a chronic form and is full of many complications, such as a violation of sexual function and even the development of a malignant prostate tumor.
What are the causes of its occurrence?
Here are only some of them:
- Sexual transmission diseases.Often men are carriers of a particular infection, without even suspecting it, since the disease is completely asymptomatic.However, such an image is very deceptive.As soon as the immune system fails, for example, under the influence of a stressful situation, this gives a momentum to the development of prostatitis.The most frequent pathogens of the disorder are the Herpes Virus, a mushroom of the candid genre, E. coli, etc.
- Absolute bladder infections.The infection easily in this case is thrown into the prostate gland located nearby.
- Blood stagnation in the pelvic area.This can lead to a sedentary lifestyle, an irregular sex life.In this case, non -kiss prostatitis is verified so called.
- Regular hypothermia, stress, presence of infectious outbreaks, including dear teeth, in the body.
- Prostatitis can develop as a complication after serious infectious diseases: flu, tonsillitis and others.
The main symptoms of prostatitis
The most common signs of this disorder, regardless of the cause of it, include:
- decrease in power;
- pain and difficulty during urination;
- Pain of various degrees of gravity in the inguinal region and in the genital area.
Symptoms of acute bacterial prostatitis
As indicated above, the first stage of bacterial prostatitis is acute, it does not last more than 3-5 days, after which it slowly goes on chronic.
It is very important not to lose the first symptoms of the disease:
- Pain in the groin and scrotum;
- Acute pain during urination;
- Pull the pain after sexual intercourse in the penis of the penis;
- Deterioration of an erection, reducing the duration of sexual intercourse.
A few days after the appearance of the first symptoms, the pain attenuates, men have a deceptive impression that the threat has passed.However, this only suggests that prostatitis is slowly but with confidence in a chronic form.
Such a course of the disease is characteristic:
- Alternation of periods of remission and exacerbation of prostatitis;
- The difficult urination, the frequent impulses, an incomplete feeling of the bladder are combined with the above signs of the disease.
During the period of exacerbation of chronic bacterial prostatitis, patients torment the same symptoms of the acute form.
Innocui factors can also cause it at first glance:
- Hypothermia;
- Cold;
- An erection that has not been implemented;
- Avitaminosis;
- Stress and overload;
- Sedentary lifestyle;
- constipation;
- Irregular sex life;
- Abuse of smoke and alcohol.
Symptoms of non -bacterial prostatitis
This disorder is still called stagnant prostatitis.This is the most dangerous and common type of pathology.Its development is directly connected with the way of life of a modern person.
Medicine researchers compare chronic congestive prostatitis in damage and prevalence with dangerous diseases such as tuberculosis or cancer, since its advanced form is a path directed towards the cancer of the prostate gland.
This form of the disease can be discussed when the inflammation of the prostate has not been caused by any microorganism, but by other factors, a long absence of sexual contacts, a sedentary lifestyle and regular stressful situations.
This conclusion can be taken based on the results of a bacteriological study, which shows the absence of pathogenic microorganisms.
The symptoms of this form of the disease are slightly different from the bacterium:
- Patients complain of periodic or constant opaque pain in the pelvis, the bottom of the abdomen, in the groin and in the genitals;
- Sexual function and compromised problem when urine;
- Infantile mental state of patients
Symptoms of chronic asymptomatic prostatitis
This is a latent form of the disease.As the name includes, it proceeds asymptomatic, that is, in the prostate there is an inflammatory process, but this does not affect the patient's conditions.
Some medicine researchers are inclined to consider this form of pathology only as normal changes related to age in the prostate gland, which occur due to a blood supply compromised to the organ.
This disease is detected in a patient often by chance, for example, during an accident of an accident associated with a completely different diagnosis.
To avoid prostatitis, it is necessary to know its causes.
Therefore, the main prevention measures of the inflammation of the prostate gland:
- Although the main measures of prostatitis prevention, as has already been mentioned repeatedly, include a normal sex life, it is still worth avoiding random sexual contacts or must be used by contraception barrier funds.This measure is mandatory, since about 30% of cases of incidence of inflammation of the prostate gland is associated with a sexual transmission disease.An alternative to sex is masturbation, also welcomed by doctors-urologists, since no less than a complete sexual relationship helps to improve the flow of blood to the prostate gland.
- Physical activity, active lifestyle.Physical education and sport are useful as a general strengthening measure, but it is worth focusing on exercises that improve blood circulation in the basin.These include running, skating, skiing and so on.
- Regular preventive exams of a urologist or andrologist, at least once a year.
- Timely treatment of the outbreaks of infection in the body, for example, hygiene of the oral cavity.
The diagnosis of prostatitis is complex and multifaceted
The diagnosis of prostatitis is mainly associated with the identification of the cause of the disease, includes the following phases:
- Of great importance to clarify the picture of the disease is an investigation by a patient who should describe in detail his complaints: the location of some sensations, their duration, with what events the events are associated, after which they started.At the reception, the doctor carefully studies the patient's medical card for diseases, tests and exams previously.The urologist clarifies the patient's information on sexual activity, on the presence of sexual transmission diseases.
- Search for strips and scraping from the urethra.An increase in the amount of leukocytes in the strips and the presence of pathological microflora in the scraping will tell about the presence of infection.
- General urine analysis.It helps identify the presence of infection, a high amount of leukocytes (more than 5) speaks of its presence.
- Ejaculate analysis.It is carried out to confirm the diagnosis of non -bacterial prostatitis.
- Ultrasound of the prostate.It allows you to see the picture of the disease at most.It is carried out to clarify the diagnosis with acute and chronic inflammation of the prostate, suspicions of cancer.
Pain and decrease in power - as first signs of prostatitis
Very often, doctors face a neglected shape of the disease, since most men are either tends to ignore the first alarming calls: the pain in the groin and the reduced libido, or the disorder itself until a certain time flows asymptomaticly.
These are the characteristics of male anatomy: in the field of the blood circulation of the prostate it is difficult, this is a "nourishing environment" for the propagation of pathogenic microorganisms, an inactive lifestyle significantly aggravates this problem.Therefore, the reason for the massive diffusion of prostatitis in the drivers of truck drivers and employees becomes evident.
In one way or another, up to 50% of the entire male population of the globe once the symptoms of prostatitis occurred.Therefore, it is so important to know the first signs of the disease and ask for medical help in a timely manner.After all, the treatment of an advanced form of the disease is the idea of expensive and long.
Treatment that returns the patient to a full life
Of course, it is much easier to get rid of prostatitis in the early stages than from a neglected disease.However, it is with the chronic form that doctors must be faced more often and requires long and complex treatment.
But in any case, to begin with, it is necessary to identify the main cause of the pathology - stagnation of the blood and (or) the inflammatory process in the prostate.
Therefore, the complex treatment of prostatitis includes:
- The inflammatory processes are treated with a wide range of action antibiotics.In addition, the drugs are prescribed both in the form of tablets and in the form of rectal candles.Overall, medicinal herbs infusions (chamomile, calendula), which are introduced in the form of microclemism, help well overall.
- However, the treatment of prostatitis should not only be reduced to taking drugs, but should be aimed at restoring blood circulation in the field of prostate and this involves the physiotherapy complex and therapeutic exercises.These measures contribute to the best absorption of antibacterial drugs, since thanks to them the flow of blood to the prostate gland improves.Doctors are often prescribed for prostatitis: electrophoresis, laser therapy, magnetotherapy;
- Prostate massage.This procedure is useful and effective, but should not be performed at home, without consulting a doctor, since it has many contraindications, including an acute phase of the disease.
In summary, we can say that the problem of treatment and prevention of prostatitis depends largely on the desire and activity of the men themselves.Elementary morning exercises, regulars regular exams of the urologist, balanced nutrition: this is the key to male strength and longevity!
