Prostatitis is a formidable disease of the male sexual sphere, which often affects young men who have not reached forty years.Although their symptoms, a decrease in sexual attraction, difficult urination, groin pain, are very painful, male representatives are in no hurry to seek medical help.
And the guilt of this is not enough information about this disease, there are too many myths and prejudices in this regard.
However, the prostatitis manifestations are only exacerbated over time, therefore, to the first signs of prostatitis, it is urgent to contact a qualified doctor-urologist.
The causes of prostatitis
Prostatitis is the inflammation of the prostate gland.Doctors classify the acute stage of the disease and chronic.If the first is left without treatment, then inflammation quickly enters 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 your occurrence?
These are just some of them:
- Sexually transmitted diseases.Often, men are carriers of a particular infection, without even suspecting this, since the disease is completely asymptomatic.However, such an image is very misleading.As soon as the immune system fails, for example, under the influence of a stressful situation, this gives a boost to the development of prostatitis.The most frequent pathogens of ailment are the herpes virus, a fungus of the genus Candida, E. coli, etc.
- Absolute bladder infections.The infection with ease in this case is thrown into the prostate gland located nearby.
- Blood stagnation in the pelvic area.This can lead to a sedentary lifestyle, irregular sex life.In this case, non -bacterial prostatitis called so.
- Regular hypothermia, stress, the presence of infectious spotlights, including carious 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 ailment, regardless of the cause, include:
- decrease in power;
- pain and difficulties during urination;
- Pain of varying degrees of gravity in the inguinal region and in the area of the genitals.
Acute bacterial prostatitis symptoms
As indicated above, the first stage of bacterial prostatitis is acute, does not last more than 3-5 days, after which slowly enters chronic.
It is very important not to miss the first symptoms of the disease:
- Pain in groin and scrotum;
- Acute pain during urination;
- Pulling pain after sexual intercourse in the penis of the penis;
- Deterioration of an erection, reducing the duration of sexual relations.
A few days after the appearance of the first symptoms, pain decreases, men have a misleading impression that the threat has passed.However, this only suggests that prostatitis is becoming slow but with confidence in a chronic form.
Such course of the disease is characteristic:
- Alternation of periods of remission and exacerbation of prostatitis;
- Difficult urine, frequent impulses, an incomplete emptying sensation of the bladder joins the previous signs of the disease.
During the period of exacerbation of chronic bacterial prostatitis, patients torment the same symptoms as acutely.
It can even cause it at first glance of harmless factors:
- Hypothermia;
- Cold;
- An erection that had no implementation;
- Avitaminosis;
- Stress and excess work;
- Sedentary lifestyle;
- constipation;
- Irregular sex life;
- Abuse of smoking and alcohol.
Non -bacterial prostatitis symptoms
This ailment is still called stagnant prostatitis.This is the most dangerous and common type of pathology.Its development is directly connected to the way of life of a modern person.
Medicine researchers compare chronic congestive prostatitis in damage and prevalence with diseases as dangerous as tuberculosis or cancer, because its advanced form is a direct path to cancer of the prostate gland.
This form of the disease can be discussed when the inflammation of the prostate was not caused by any microorganisms, but by other factors, a long absence of sexual contacts, a sedentary lifestyle and regular stressful situations.
This conclusion can be drawn 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 bacterial:
- Patients complain of periodic or constant pain in the pelvis, the background of the abdomen, in the groin and genitals;
- Sexual function and altered problem when urinating;
- Child mental state of patients
Chronic Asymptomatic Prostatitis symptoms
This is a latent form of the disease.As the name understands, it proceeds asymptomatic, that is, in the prostate there is an inflammatory process, but this does not affect the patient's condition.
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 the blood supply deteriorated to the organ.
This disease is detected in a patient often by accident, for example, during a shock operation associated with a completely different diagnosis.
To avoid prostatitis, you must know its causes.
Then, the main measures of inflammation of the prostate gland:
- Although the main measures of prostatitis prevention, as already mentioned repeatedly, include regular sexual life, it is still worth avoiding random sexual contacts or should be used by barrier contraception funds.This measure is mandatory, since approximately 30% of cases of incidence of inflammation of the prostate gland are associated precisely with sexually transmitted disease.An alternative to sex is masturbation, also welcome by doctors-urologists, since not less than complete sexual relations helps improve blood supply to the prostate gland.
- Physical activity, active lifestyle.Physical education and sports are useful as a general strengthening measure, but it is worth focusing on exercises that improve blood circulation in the pelvis.These include running, skating, skiing, etc.
- Regular preventive exams of a urologist or andrologist, at least once a year.
- Timely treatment of infection spotlights, for example, sanitation 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 stages:
- Of great importance to clarify the image of the disease is a survey of a patient who must describe his complaints in detail: the location of certain sensations, their duration, with what events the manifestations are associated, after which they began.At the reception, the doctor carefully studies the patient's medical card for previously suffered diseases, tests and exams.The urologist clarifies the patient's information about sexual activity, the presence of sexually transmitted diseases.
- Rubbing and scraping research of the urethra.A greater amount of leukocytes in the smear and the presence of pathological microflora in the scraping will say about the presence of infection.
- General urine analysis.It helps identify the presence of infection, a large number of leukocytes (more than 5) talks about its presence.
- Ejaculate analysis.It is carried out to confirm the diagnosis of non -bacterial prostatitis.
- Prostate ultrasound.It allows you to see the image of the disease with the greatest totality.It is carried out to clarify the diagnosis with acute and chronic inflammation of the prostate, cancer suspicions.
Pain and decrease in power, such as the first signs of prostatitis
Most of the time, doctors have to deal with a careless form of the disease, since most men are laid to ignore the first alarming calls: groin pain and decrease in libido, or ailment itself until a certain time flows asymptomatically.
These are the characteristics of male anatomy: in the field of blood circulation of the prostate is difficult, this is a "nutritious environment" for the spread of pathogenic microorganisms, an inactive lifestyle significantly aggravates this problem.Therefore, the reason for the mass propagation of prostatitis in truck drivers and office workers becomes obvious.
One form or another, up to 50% of the entire male population in the world once, the symptoms of prostatitis were not experienced either.Therefore, it is very important to know the first signs of the disease and seek 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 complete life
Of course, it is much easier to get rid of prostatitis in the early stages than due to careless disease.However, it is with the chronic way that doctors have to face, and requires, as a rule, a long and complex treatment.
But in any case, to begin, it is necessary to identify the root cause of the pathology: the stagnation of the blood and (o) the inflammatory process in the prostate.
So, the complex treatment of prostatitis includes:
- Inflammatory processes are treated with a wide range of action antibiotics.In addition, drugs are prescribed both in the form of tablets and in the form of rectal candles.In the complex, the infusions of medicinal herbs (chamomile, calendulas), which are introduced in the form of microchlemism, help well into the complex.
- However, the treatment of prostatitis should not only be reduced to taking medications, but should be directed to restore blood circulation in the field of prostate, and this implies the physiotherapy complex and therapeutic exercises.These measures contribute to the best absorption of antibacterial medications, since thanks to them improve the blood supply to the prostate gland.Doctors are often prescribed for prostatitis: electrophoresis, laser therapy, magnetotherapy;
- Prostate massage.This procedure is useful and effective, but should not be carried out at home, without consulting a doctor, since it has many contraindications, including an acute phase of the disease.
In short, we can say that the problem of treatment and prevention of prostatitis depends largely on the desire and activity of the same men.Primary morning exercises, regular preventive examinations of the urologist, balanced nutrition: this is the key to male strength and longevity!
