Chronic prostatitis is a slow prostate disease.For him, for any other chronic pathology, a change in severe stages and remission is characteristic.The disease grows slowly, without providing almost no worries for patients in the early years, except for single symptoms that are often not paying attention.However, the progression of pathology may require violations of the prostate function and the development of complications, so it is important to determine it in the early stages.
You can undergo a precaution test of the urinary doctor in the field clinic.If necessary, a personal treatment regime will be developed for you, thanks to you will get rid of the disease in a short time and avoid complications.
Characteristics of the disease
Chronic prostatitis in men is one of the most common diseases of the genital system.About 30% of patients aged 20 to 50 are affected.
The prostate gland is an inaccurate organ located below the bladder.It is responsible for the quality of sperm: it creates a special secret is an important component.And in the process of erection, the prostate iron closed the exit from the bladder.
The reason for the growth of acute and chronic prostatitis is usually infection (originating from bacteria, viruses or fungi).They can penetrate the prostate gland through blood and lymph, even when the center of the infection is far away from the prostate gland.In addition, infections often fall into the prostate directly from the urethra.These two agencies are connected to each other: the prostate tubes open to the urethra.And also through the prostate through the original part of the urethra.
Infections can be listed in the prostate even without the presence of pathological processes in the body.In the end, each organ is characterized by its own microbiological system.The microorganisms living in the urethra are harmless in their "habitat".However, for the prostate, they can be aliens and if they fall into it, they can cause inflammation.
Prostatitis may be:
- The source of infectious - caused by bacteria, viruses or fungi.
- The ratio in nature - develops with the stagnation of the secretion of the prostate.
Causes of disease development
The causes of development depend on the form of chronic prostatitis.The form of infection occurs in the following diseases:
- Urethritis.
- Orchids (pneumonia of testicular).
- Cystitis.
The source of infection is not placed in the immediate surrounding area of the prostate.The pathology can occur on the basis of other infections that progress in the body: tooth decay, sinusitis, pneumonia, bronchitis, etc.
In addition, chronic prostatitis can grow due to an uneven acute process of bacterial origin.
The stagnation of the prostate secretion occurred due to the stagnation of blood in pelvic organs, possibly due to:
- Unusual sex life.
- Sediment.
- Wear tight underwear.
- Bad habits (alcohol abuse, smoking).
The stagnant form is found in 85% of chronic prostatitis cases.
Factors that increase the risk of disease development of both forms include:
- Microtrauma regularly, bruises of pelvic organs.
- Nutrition is not suitable.
- Overloaded worried.
- Wrong sex life.
- Lower the body heat and stay in an environment with increased moisture.
These factors often cause decline in blood supply to pelvic organs, or increase the ability to penetrate infections into the prostate gland.
The diagnosis of chronic prostatitis is performed for representatives of some industries more often than those who have a different type of activity.The risk group includes:
- Truckers and other drivers (forced to be in the same position for a long time).
- Programmers, office workers (sedentary lifestyle).
- Fishermen (in the cold for a long time).
- Professional athletes: Football players, wrestling, volleyball players, basketball players (often at risk of injury in the pelvic area).
- Sailors and geological houses (facing adverse weather conditions: cold, wet).
Chronic prostatitis: Symptoms
The symptoms of chronic prostatitis are:
- Pain in the groin, in the lower abdomen: they can be given to the rectum, sacrum.
- Erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, lack of ejaculation.
- Disorders of urination: often urgently urinating, difficulty with bladder drum, pain while urinating.
In the early stages of chronic prostatitis, weak symptoms.The pain is not significant and passed.Urinating disorders also occur irregularly.Therefore, patients often do not provide these important symptoms for these symptoms and do not consult a doctor.He came to receive even if the signs of the disease were clearly shown.
It is necessary even if there are rare symptoms to consult a doctor, otherwise the disease can lead to complications.
Chronic prostatitis complications
The presence of a constant gravity of infection can lead to its spread to other organs and the development of diseases in it.Complications of chronic prostatitis are:
- Cystitis is cystitis.
- Pleural pleuritis - Pus
- Veziculite - Bubble inflammation.
- Road inflammation - testicular inflammation and their appendages.
In turn, the inflammatory diseases of the genital system may bring:
- To infertility.
- to the cancers of the prostate.
- Go to Adenoma prostate.
Authority to settle!In chronic prostatitis, erectile dysfunction often develops.This is due to the fact that the nerves are responsible for the erection through the prostate.When a pathological process develops in it, this often affects them.
Diagnose
To determine this disease, you need to see a urinary doctor or researcher.First, the doctor will collect Anamnesis: He will listen to the complaints and ask questions.After that, he will conduct an intuitive test and check the prostate's finger.In addition, the following types of research may be necessary:
- Check the bacteria of urine.
- Check by microscopy of the prostate excretion.
- Ultrasound of the prostate.
- Sperm.
- A stain from the urethra (to determine sexually transmitted infections).
- Prostate biopsy.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis
The treatment of chronic prostatitis is mainly conservative.Surgery is only performed if the therapy does not give the necessary results, or the complications arise:
- Abscess of prostate or surrounding fabrics.
- Prostate cancer.
- Adenoma prostate.
- Serious disease of the urethra.
Conservative treatment related to the appointment:
- Drugs: nonsteroidal anti -inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, alpha blockers, immunotherapy, drugs, and regeneration.With severe pain, the drugs can be prescribed.
- Prostate massage.Allows you to eliminate stagnant phenomena, improve blood circulation in the affected area and the flow of the prostate.However, before prescribing massage, additional studies are conducted, as under some conditions, it may aggravate this situation.
- Physiotherapy procedures.Often prescribed: magnetic therapy;electricity;laser therapy;Ultrasound therapy.
- Diet.With its help, it takes place: eliminating the risk of inflammation, improving the digestive tract, increasing immunity, reducing loads to internal organs, and normalizing blood circulation in the whole body.Need to eat without structure with food, steaming, cooking or grilling in the oven, with minimum salt.The basis of a diet in chronic prostatitis is little fish, lean meat (chicken, turkey, rabbit, beef), cereals, vegetables, macarone products made from whole grain powder, light soup.It is necessary to exclude: fried, spicy, fat, smoked, salt food, canned food, complete products, fast food, mushrooms, spices, including onions and garlic, citrus, legumes and cabbage, fatty meat, strong tea, drinking wine, wine, drinking wine.
- In serious cases, surgical treatment is performed. Cut the Transurethral of the prostate - eliminate pathological position or the entire prostate, performed without cutting (the device is introduced via the urethra), often prescribed to develop Adenoma prostate.Prostate surgery - removing prostate or its area in a normal way of surgery with the performance of parts.
Prevention of chronic prostatitis
To prevent the development of the disease, it is important to eliminate any infection focus in the body.A regular sex life will be beneficial, excluding random relationships.A diverse diet and moderate physical activity will enhance immunity.It is necessary to avoid lowering heat, sitting for a long time (if this requires work, need to rest and choose), close underwear.It is also as important as a prevention to check the urinary doctor every year.
