Most of us are used to which we must carefully monitor the health of our hearts, worry about the health of the lungs.But few men remember that they need special care for the "second heart" - prostate gland.
This is a small organ, the size of a walnut.Not all men know where it is and for what is intended.But it is often one of the most significant reasons for humanity's health problems of humanity.In addition, the problems can overcome both a teenager and an elderly Aksakala.
Like any other disease, the inflammation of the prostate - the most common disease of the prostate gland - is easier to prevent than to treat and easier to treat in the early stages than in the following stages.Therefore, it is extremely important that every man knows the symptoms of this disease, in order to contact a urologist in time.
The prostate gland, or prostate, is a muscle discovered organ, which is an integral part of a man's sexual system.It is located in a small basin, under the bladder, weighs only about 20-30 grams.The main function of the prostate, if we speak a simplified language, is to produce a liquid that is part of the sperm.
Despite its modest dimensions (the size of a small chestnut), this small piece of iron can defeat any Hercules.
According to the World Health Organization, every third man among the inhabitants of Europe and the United States at least once he noticed symptoms of inflammation of the prostate gland.Every fifth man has chronic prostatitis.
Prostate adenom, which has signs similar to prostatitis, is detected in 10-15% of men over the age of 50.The figures of the growing number of prostate diseases in young people, in particular chronic forms, as well as the forms that lead to infertility are particularly disturbed.
It is easy to acquire prostate inflammation, but it is treated for many years.
Urologists and andrologists - doctors who treat prostatitis - often call this disease a "silent disease", since at the beginning it may not declare its existence.When this disease is noticed, as a rule, we are already talking about complications of the inflammation of the prostate gland.
Each patient stands out on his own, a special course of the disease and the causes of his presence.
The causes of prostatitis
Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate gland.The main cause of the disease is the stagnation of the blood in the pelvis.It can cause it of the gastrointestinal tract disorders, which occur in the form of constant frequent and intestinal disorders.Among other reasons:

- irregular sex life;
- Neuroendocrine disorders in the body.
Symptoms of prostatitis
The characteristic symptoms of the inflammation of the prostate gland are urinary system disorders.The reason is that with inflammation, the prostate increases in size and begins to squeeze the urethra.In the absence of treatment, the inflammatory process causes sclerosis of the bladder neck and, in the case of a more serious development of the disease, the ureter can be completely blocked.
The second important feature feature is the disorder of sexual function.This manifests itself in the form of a weakening of an erection, the weak severity of orgasm.Consequently, impotence and infertility develop.
Other characteristic signs of prostatitis:
- Burning sensation in the horse and urethra (urethra);

Strengthening painful pains can indicate that the stones have formed in the prostate gland.Getting rid of them is much more difficult than kidney stones or even gallbladder.When they are detected, the doctor can only slow down his education with the help of medicines in the future and increase existing ones.
