Prostatitis is a formidable disease of the male sexual sphere, which often affects young men who have not reached forty years.Although its symptoms - a decrease in sexual attraction, difficult urination, pain in the groin - are very painful, but male representatives are not in a hurry to ask for a doctor.
And the lack of this is not sufficient information on this disease, there are too many myths and prejudices on this subject.
However, prostatitis demonstrations are only exacerbated over time, therefore, to the first signs of prostatitis, it is urgent to contact a qualified doctor-reologue.
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, inflammation quickly goes in a chronic form and is heavy with 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 some of them:
- Sexually transmitted diseases.Often men carry a particular infection, without even suspecting this, because 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 momentum to the development of prostatitis.The most common pathogens of the disease are the herpes virus, a mushroom of the genus Candida, E. coli, etc.
- Absolute bladder infections.Infection with ease in this case is thrown into the nearby prostate gland.
- Stagnation of blood in the pelvic area.This can lead to a sedentary lifestyle and an irregular sex life.In this case, the non-bacterial prostatitis So-appeal occurs.
- Regular hypothermia, stress, presence of infectious homes, including carriers, in the body.
- Prostatitis can develop as a complication after serious infectious diseases - influenza, amygdalite and others.
The main symptoms of prostatitis
The most common signs of this disease, whatever its cause, understand:
- decrease in power;
- pain and difficulties during urination;
- Pain of variable degrees of severity in the inguinal region and in the region of the genitals.
Symptoms of acute bacterial prostatitis
As indicated above, the first step in bacterial prostatitis is acute, does not last more than 3 to 5 days, after which it goes slowly in chronic.
It is very important not to miss the first symptoms of the disease:
- Pain in groin and scrotum;
- Clear pain during urination;
- Drawing pain after 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 lights up, men have a misleading impression that the threat has passed.However, this only suggests that prostatitis is transformed slowly but in all confidence in a chronic form.
Such a course in the disease is characteristic:
- Alternation of periods of remission and exacerbation of prostatitis;
- Difficult urination, frequent desires, the feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder join the above signs of the disease.
During the exacerbation period of chronic bacterial prostatitis, patients torment the same symptoms as in acute form.
This can even provoke it at first glance harmless factors:
- Hypothermia;
- Cold;
- An erection that had no implementation;
- Avitaminosis;
- Stress and overwork;
- Sedentary lifestyle;
- constipation;
- Irregular sex life;
- Abuse of smoking and alcohol.
Symptoms of non -bacterial prostatitis
This disease is always called stagnant prostatitis.It is the most dangerous and common type of pathology.Its development is directly linked to the lifestyle of a modern person.
Medicine researchers compare chronic congestive prostatitis in terms of harmful and prevalence with such dangerous diseases such as tuberculosis or cancer, because its advanced form is a direct route to 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 contact, a sedentary lifestyle and regular stressful situations.
Such a conclusion can be drawn on the basis of 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 bachelor:
- Patients complain of periodic or constant dull pain in the basin, at the bottom of the abdomen, in the groin and the genitals;
- Alteration of the sexual function and the problem when urinating it;
- Infantile mental patients of patients
Chronic asymptomatic prostatitis symptoms
It is a latent form of the disease.As its name understands, it takes place asymptomatic, that is to say in the prostate that there is an inflammatory process, but that does not affect the state of the patient.
Some researchers in medicine are inclined to consider this form of pathology only as normal changes linked to age in the prostate gland, which occur due to the blood altered to the organ.
This disease is detected in a patient often by accident, for example, during a crash operation associated with a completely different diagnosis.
To avoid prostatitis, you must know its causes.
Thus, the main measures to prevent inflammation of the prostatic gland:
- Although the main measures to prevention prostatitis, as has already been mentioned several times, include a regular sex life, it is always worth avoiding random sex contacts or must be used by contraception.This measure is compulsory, because approximately 30% of cases of incidence of the inflammation of the prostatic gland are precisely associated with a sexually transmitted disease.An alternative to sex is masturbation, also welcomed by doctors-urologists, because no less than complete sexual intercourse help to improve blood supply 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 racing, skating, skiing, etc.
- Regular preventive examinations of an urologist or an andrologist, at least once a year.
- A timely treatment of foci of infection in the body, 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, it includes the following steps:
- A great importance to clarify the image of the disease is a study of a patient who should describe his complaints in detail - the location of certain sensations, their duration, with the events that the manifestations are associated, after which they started.Upon reception, the doctor carefully studies the patient's medical card for illnesses, tests and exams previously suffered.The urologist clarifies patient information on sexual activity, the presence of sexually transmitted diseases.
- Research on the smear and scratching of the urethra.An increased quantity of leukocytes in the smear and the presence of pathological microflora in the scratch will indicate the presence of an infection.
- General analysis of urine.It helps to identify the presence of an infection, a large amount of leukocytes (more than 5) talks about its presence.
- Ejaculated analysis.It is made to confirm the diagnosis of non -bacterial prostatitis.
- Prostate ultrasound.Allows you to see the image of the disease at most fully.It is made to clarify the diagnosis with acute and chronic inflammation of the prostate, suspicions of cancer.
Pain and decrease in power - like the first signs of prostatitis
Most often, doctors have to face a neglected form of the disease, as most men tend to ignore the first alarming calls - pain in the groin and reduced libido, the disease itself until some time circulates asymptomatically.
These are the characteristics of male anatomy - in the field of blood circulation of prostate is difficult, it is a "nutritious environment" for the spread of pathogenic microorganisms, an inactive lifestyle considerably aggravates this problem.Consequently, the reason for the massive propagation of prostatitis in drivers of truckers and office employees becomes obvious.
In one way or another, up to 50% of the entire male population of the globe once, the symptoms of prostatitis have been experienced either.Therefore, it is so important to know the first signs of the disease and to request a timely medical help.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 a neglected disease.However, it is with the chronic form that doctors must most often face, and this generally requires long and complex treatment.
But in any case, to begin with, it is necessary to identify the deep cause of the pathology - stagnation of blood and or the inflammatory process in the prostate.
Thus, 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 a rectal candles.In the complex, the infusions of medicinal herbs (chamomile, calendar), which are introduced in the form of microclemism, help well in the complex.
- However, the treatment of prostatitis must not only be reduced to taking medication, but it should aim to restore blood circulation in the field of prostate, which involves the physiotherapy complex and therapeutic exercises.Such measures contribute to the best absorption of antibacterial drugs, because thanks to the blood supply of the prostate gland improves.Doctors are often prescribed for prostatitis: electrophoresis, laser therapy, magnetotherapy;
- Prostate massage.This procedure is useful and effective, but it should not be carried out at home, without consulting a doctor, because it has many contraindications, including an acute phase of the disease.
In summary, we can say that the question of the treatment and prevention of prostatitis largely depends on the desire and activity of men themselves.Elementary morning exercises, regular preventive examinations of the urologist, balanced nutrition - this is the key to male strength and longevity!
