Prostate (prostate) is an important part of the male reproductive system: it creates a secret that provides motor activity and viability for sperm. The secret contains enzymes, immunoglobulins, citric acid, vitamins, zinc ions. In the event of a violation of the prostate gland, the sexual function of the male body is reduced. The most common prostate disease is inflammation - prostatitis. He is usually exposed to the age of 20-50. The older one is, the greater the risk of occurrence. Prostatitis is in an acute or chronic form, often difficult to diagnose and can lead to persistent prostate dysfunctions. The most serious consequences of prostatitis are infertility and prostate cancer.
About half of qualified men are ill about chronic prostatitis worldwide. Modern medicine is very active in the treatment of prostatitis. Prostatitis is in reality successfully treated - only to be diagnosed as soon as possible. As soon as the initial signs of prostatitis appear, you should contact a urologist. In the early stages, outpatient treatment is possible, in advanced cases the patient is hospitalized. Treatment with the two versions is one to two weeks, after which the patient should take preventive measures to prevent new inflammation of the prostate. Frequency of chronic prostatitis - more than 50%
Types of prostatitis
Depending on the causes and clinical views of the disease, the following types of prostatitis are distinguished:
Acute prostatitis- Seriously leaking inflammation of the prostate gland that occurs as a result of bacterial infection of tissues. Many bacteria are part of the normal microflora of the body and is constantly present in the intestine and skin. However, when the prostate gland enters the tissue due to non -fulfillment of basic hygiene and other causes, it can cause the acute inflammatory process. Acute prostatitis is extremely rare. Treatment should be done in a hospital.
Chronic bacterial prostatitis- One third of all cases of inflammation of the prostate gland. This form of prostatitis is dangerous in the painful sign that they can spontaneously disappear without treatment. But this does not mean healing - after a while, an aggravation occurs, which continues more painfully every time. If you do nothing over and over again, there is a risk of developing purulent focuses, stones in the prostate, bladder inflammation and other serious complications to cancer.
Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome- Difficult diagnosis of prostatitis is illustrated by the continuous pain in the pelvic area, which lasts for more than three months. Meanwhile, neurological disorders and psycho -emotional disorders can be observed. The diagnosis is made with exclusion, and analyzes cannot show signs of inflammation.
Asymptomatic chronic prostatitis- asymptomatic and can be discovered according to the results of urinary analysis, which show the high concentration of leukocytes and bacteria.
Chronic granulomatic prostatitis- Usually the side effect of drug treatment or prostate irradiation of other diseases. During this disease, the tissue of the prostate gland is gradually replaced by connective tissue and the iron is eliminated.
The symptoms of the disease
In men with different forms of prostatitis, frequent symptoms can be distinguished. These include: the difficulty of compression of the inflamed prostate gland due to the compression of the blade. During urination, pain and burn can be observed. Violation of the mechanism of erection, weakening orgasm. Accelerated ejaculation. Reducing efficiency. Mental depression, anxiety. For patients with prostatitis, the psychological mood of healing is very important. Stress also weakens the body and complicates treatment, leading to even greater repression. It is difficult for the patient to break out of this closed circle, so sometimes antidepressants are prescribed prostatitis.
Causes of prostatitis
The causes of prostatitis disease are quite diverse, but primarily the neglect of human health: sexually transmitted infections; Blood circulation violation in pelvic organs due to a sedentary lifestyle; long -term sexual abstinence, interrupted sexual intercourse or artificial extension of sexual intercourse; impaired immunity; Frequent hypothermia that is typical of extremist sports lovers; voltage; hormonal imbalance; Lack of vitamins and trace elements; To satisfy personal hygiene rules.
Complication
Prostatitis causes serious discomfort to men: urinary problems, reduced libido, impaired erection function. If the patient does not receive proper treatment on time, then infertility will develop with a 40%probability, as prostate iron will no longer be able to create a secret in normal quantities and the necessary quality. The mediation of prostatitis itself is unacceptable as this can lead to deterioration of the patient's condition and the occurrence of concomitant diseases. For example, improperly prescribed antibiotics adversely affect the intestinal microflora and significantly reduce immunity while not solving the problem of the prostate gland. Other drugs cover only the disease and its symptoms, aggravating the situation. Therefore, prostatitis should be diagnosed and treated with an experienced specialist.
Prevention
Preventive measures to prevent prostatitis are as follows: careful adherence to personal hygiene; Regularly ordered sex life; Healthy physical activity; diet with sufficient protein content, vitamins and trace elements; increasing general immunity; Abstinence of alcohol consumption and smoking; Timely treatment of any infectious diseases; Reducing the general level of daily stress. Thanks to the provocative factors of many types and development of prostatitis, men should be careful about their well -being and visit a urologist at least twice a year. This is especially important after forty years.
