Chronic prostatitis

Inflammation of the prostate gland

Chronic prostatitis is a slow prostate disease.For him, as for any other chronic pathologies, a change is characteristic in the periods of exacerbations and remissions.The disease develops slowly, without providing almost no anxiety towards the patient in the early years, with the exception of the individual symptoms that often do not pay attention.However, the progression of the pathology is able to involve a violation of the function of the prostate gland and the development of complications, therefore it is important to identify it in an initial phase. 

You can undergo an urologist's preventive exam in the field clinic.If necessary, an individual treatment regime will be developed for you, thanks to which you will free yourself of the disease in a short time and avoid complications.

Characteristics of the disease

Chronic prostatitis in men is one of the most common pathologies of the parental parent system.About 30% of patients from 20 to 50 years suffer.

The prostate gland is a non -parallel organ located under the bladder.It is responsible for the quality of the sperm: it produces a special secret which is an important component.And during an erection, the prostate iron closes the exit from the bladder.

The reason for the development of acute and chronic prostatitis is often infections (bacterial, viral or fungal origin).They are able to penetrate the prostate gland through blood, lymph, even if the focus of the infection is far from the prostate.In addition, the infection often falls into the prostate gland directly from the urethra.These two organs are interconnected: the prostate ducts open to the urethra.And also through the prostate gland the initial part of the urethra passes.

What a chronic prostatitis does

The infection can be listed in the prostate even without the presence of pathological processes in the body.After all, each organ is characterized by its own microflora.The microorganisms that live in the urethra are harmless in their "habitat".However, for the prostate gland, they can be aliens and if they fall into it, they can cause the development of inflammation.

Prostatitis can be:

  1. Infectious origin - caused by bacteria, viruses or mushrooms.
  2. Statter in nature - develops with a stagnation of the secretion of the prostate gland.

The causes of the development of the disease

The causes of development depend on the form of chronic prostatitis.The infectious form occurs in the following diseases:

  • Urethritis.
  • Orcite (pneumonia of the testicle).
  • Cystitis.

The source of infection must not be in the immediate vicinity of the prostate gland.The pathology can occur against the background of other infections that progress in the body: caries, sinusitis, pneumonia, bronchitis, etc.

In addition, chronic prostatitis is able to develop following an unequal acute process of bacterial origin.

The stagnation of the secretion of the prostate gland occurs due to the stagnation of the blood in the pelvic organs, which may be due to:

  • Irregular sex life.
  • Sedimentary.
  • Wear narrow underwear.
  • Bad habits (alcohol abuse, smoke).

The stagnant form is located in 85% of cases of chronic prostatitis.

The factors that increase the risk of developing both forms the disease include:

  • Regular microtrauma, bruises of the pelvic organs.
  • Improper nutrition.
  • Nervous overload.
  • Wandering sex life.
  • Hypothermia and long stay in an environment with greater humidity.

These factors cause a deterioration of the blood supply to the pelvic organs or increase the possibility of penetrating the infection in the prostate gland.

The diagnosis of chronic prostatitis is made to representatives of some professions more often than people with a different type of activity.The risk group includes:

  • Truck drivers and other drivers (forced to be in the same position for a long time).
  • Programmers, employees (sedentary lifestyle).
  • Fishermen (stay in the cold for a long time).
  • Professional athletes: football players, fighters, volleyball players, basketball players (often run the risk of injuries in the pelvic area).
  • Sailors and geologists (in the face of adverse weather conditions: cold, humid).

Chronic prostatitis: symptoms

A man's bed problems due to prostatitis

The symptoms of chronic prostatitis are:

  1. Pain in the horse, in the lower abdomen: they can be administered to the rectum, to the sacred.
  2. Erection disorders, premature ejaculation, lack of ejaculation.
  3. Stage of urination: frequent impulse to urinate, difficulty emptying the bladder, pain during urination.

In the early stages of chronic prostatitis, the symptoms are weak.The pains are insignificant and pass.Mind disorders also occur irregularly.Therefore, the patient often does not provide these symptoms of importance to these symptoms and does not consult a doctor.He arrives at the reception even when the signs of the disease are clearly expressed. 

It is necessary even if there are rare symptoms to consult a doctor, otherwise the disease can lead to complications.

Complications of chronic prostatitis

The presence of a constant focus of infection can lead to its spread to other organs and the development of pathologies in them.The complications of chronic prostatitis are:

  • The cystitis is inflammation of the bladder.
  • Pyelonephrite - Purallent renal inflammation
  • Veziculite - Inflammation of the seed bubbles.
  • Orchoepididimite - Inflammation of the testicles and their appendices.

The inflammatory diseases of the parental parent system, in turn, are able to bring:

  • To infertility.
  • to prostate cancer diseases.
  • To prostate adenoma.

Reference!In chronic prostatitis, erectile dysfunction is often developed.This is due to the fact that the nerves responsible for the erection pass through the prostate gland.When developing a pathological process, this often strikes them.

Diagnostics

To identify the disease, you need to visit a urologist or andrologist.First of all, the doctor will collect the anamnesis: he will listen to the complaints and ask questions.Then he will lead a visual inspection and an examination of the prostate fingers.In addition, the following types of research may be necessary:

  • Bacteriological examination of the urine.
  • Microscopic examination of the secretion of the prostate gland.
  • Ultrasound of the prostate.
  • Spermogram.
  • A strip from the urethra (to identify sexual transmission infections).
  • Prostate biopsy.

Treatment of chronic prostatitis

The treatment of chronic prostatitis is mainly conservative.Surgical is performed only if the therapy does not give the necessary result or complications have presented itself:

  • Abscesses of the prostate or surrounding fabrics.
  • Prostate cancer.
  • Prostate adenoma.
  • Serious pathologies of the urethra.

Conservative treatment provides for the appointment:

  • Drugs: non -steroid anti -inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, alpha blockers, immunomodulators, drugs, accelerated regeneration.With serious pain, it is possible to prescribe blocks of drugs.
  • Prostate massage.It allows you to eliminate stagnant phenomena, improve blood circulation in the affected area and the outflow of the secretion of the prostate gland.However, before prescribing the massage, further studies are conducted, since in some conditions it can aggravate the condition.
  • Physiotherapy procedures.More often prescribed: magnetic therapy;electrophoresis;laser therapy;Ultrasound therapy.
  • Diets.With its help, it takes place: eliminate the risk of aggravation of the inflammation, improving the digestive tract, increasing immunity, reducing the load on the internal organs, normalizing blood circulation throughout the body.It is necessary to eat non -construction with food, cooked, cooked or cooked in the oven, with a minimum of salt.The base of the diet in chronic prostatitis is low fat fish, lean meat (chicken, turkey, rabbit, beef), cereals, vegetables, macarone products made with wholemeal flour, light soups.It is necessary to exclude: fried, spicy, fatty, smoked, salted foods, canned foods, semifinated products, fast food, mushrooms, spices, including onions and garlic, citrus fruits, legumes and cabbage, fatty meat, fat tea, strong tea, alcohol, carbonated drinks, sweets and classes.
    • Surgical treatment of prostatitis
  • In serious cases, surgical treatment is performed. The transureual resection of the prostate gland - the removal of the pathological site or the entire prostate, is performed without cuts (the device is introduced through the urethra), is often prescribed for the development of prostate adenoma.Prostatectomy - Removal of a prostate or its area in the usual way surgically with the implementation of the sections.
