Prostatitis is an impressive illness of the male sexual sphere that often affects young men who are not yet forty years old.Although his symptoms - a decrease in sexual attraction, the difficult urination, the pain in the groin area - are very painful, but male representatives are in a hurry to seek medical help.
And the fault is not enough information about this disease, there are too many myths and prejudices.
Nevertheless, manifestations of prostatitis are only exacerbated over time, so it is urgently on the first sign of prostatitis to contact a qualified doctor urologist.
The causes of prostatitis
Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate.Doctors classify the acute stage of the disease and chronic.If the first one remains without treatment, the inflammation quickly goes into a chronic form and is affected with many complications, such as:B. a violation of sexual function and even the development of a malignant tumor of the prostate.
What are the causes of his appearance?
Here are just a few of them:
- Sexually transmitted diseases.Men are often carriers of a certain infection without suspecting this, since the disease is completely asymptomatic.However, such a picture is very wrong.As soon as the immune system fails under the influence of a stressful situation, this gives an impetus for 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 infections of the bladder.In this case, the infection in this case is thrown into the nearby prostate gland.
- Blood tag nation of blood in the pelvic area.This can lead to a seated lifestyle, an irregular sex life.In this case, the so -called non -bacterial prostatitis occurs.
- Regular hypothermia, stress, the presence of infectious Foki, including Caric 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 disease, regardless of the cause, include:
- Acceptance of potency;
- Pain and difficulty urinating;
- Pain of different severity in the groin area and in the area of the genitals.
Symptoms of acute bacterial prostatitis
As mentioned above, the first stage of bacterial prostatitis is acute, it does not take more than 3-5 days that it slowly goes chronically.
It is very important not to miss the first symptoms of the disease:
- Pain in the groin area and in the scrotum;
- Sharp pain during urination;
- Pain after sexual intercourse in the penis of the penis;
- Determination of an erection that reduces the duration of sexual intercourse.
A few days after the first symptoms occur, the pain subsides, men have a deceptive impression that the threat has passed.However, this only indicates that prostatitis becomes slow, but confident in a chronic form.
Such a course of the disease is characteristic:
- Changing the remission and tightening of prostatitis;
- Difficult urination, frequent bars, a feeling of the incomplete emptying of the bladder combines the above signs of the disease.
During the period of worsening chronic bacterial prostatitis, patients qualify the same symptoms as in acute form.
It can even provoke it at first glance.Harmless factors:
- Settlement;
- Cold;
- An erection that had no implementation;
- Avitaminosis;
- Stress and overload;
- Sitting lifestyle;
- Constipation;
- Irregular sex life;
- Misuse of smoking and alcohol.
Symptoms of non -bacterial prostatitis
This disease is still referred to as stagnating prostatitis.This is the most dangerous and most common type of pathology.Its development is directly connected to the way of life of a modern person.
Researchers from medicine compare the chronic prostatitis of consumer prostatitis in harmfulness and prevalence with dangerous diseases such as tuberculosis or cancer, since its advanced form is a direct way to the prostate cancer.
This form of the disease can be discussed if the inflammation of the prostate was not caused by microorganisms, but by other factors and long lack of sexual contacts, a seated lifestyle and regular stressful situations.
Such a conclusion can be drawn on the basis of the results of a bacteriological study that shows the lack of pathogenic microorganisms.
The symptoms of this form of the disease differ slightly from the bacteria:
- The patients complain about periodic or constant blunt pain in the pelvis, in the bottom of the abdomen, in the groin and the genitals;
- Impaired sexual function and problem when urinating;
- Mental infant status of patients
Symptoms of chronic asymptomatic prostatitis
This is a latent form of the disease.As the name understands, it takes place asymptomatic, i.e. there is an inflammatory process in the prostate, but this has no influence on the patient's condition.
Some of the medicine researchers tend to consider this form of pathology only as normal age-related changes in the prostate gland that occur due to impaired blood supply to the organ.
This disease is often proven by random in a patient, for example during a crash operation associated with a completely different diagnosis.
To avoid prostatitis, you have to know its causes.
The main measurements to prevent the inflammation of the prostate gland:
- Although the main measures for the prevention of prostatitis, as already mentioned, repeats regular sex life, it is still worthwhile to avoid random sexual contacts, or must be used by barrier funds from contraception.This measure is mandatory because about 30% of the cases of inflammation of the prostate gland are connected exactly to sexually transmitted disease.An alternative to sex is masturbation, which is also greeted by doctors urologists, since no less than full sexual intercourse can improve blood supply to the prostate gland.
- Physical activity, active lifestyle.Sports lessons and sport are useful as a general refreshment, but it is worth concentrating on exercises that improve blood circulation in the pool.This includes running, skating, skiing and so on.
- Regular preventive examinations of a urologist or andrologists, at least once a year.
- Corporate treatment of varieties of infection in the body, for example sanitary facilities in 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 stadiums:
- Of great importance for clarifying the image of the disease is a survey among a patient who should describe his symptoms in detail - the localization of certain sensations, their duration, with the events that are assigned to manifestations, wherever they started.At the reception, the doctor examines the patient's medical card carefully for previously suffered diseases, tests and examinations.The urologist illustrates the patient's information about sexual activities, the presence of sexually transmitted diseases.
- Research into smear and scratch from the urethra.An increased amount of leukocytes in the smear and the presence of a pathological microflora when scratching will be recognized by the presence of an infection.
- General urine analysis.It helps to identify the presence of an infection, a high amount of leukocytes (more than 5) speaks of its presence.
- Ejaculate analysis.It is carried out to confirm the diagnosis of non -bacterial prostatitis.
- Ultrasound of the prostate.Allows you to see the image of the disease most complete.It is carried out to clarify the diagnosis with acute and chronic inflammation of the prostate, suspected of cancer.
Pain and decrease in potency - as the first sign of prostatitis
In most cases, doctors have to deal with a neglected form of the disease, since most men either ignore the first alarming calls - pain in the groin area and the reduction of libido or the disease itself until a certain time flows asymptomatic.
These are the characteristics of male anatomy - in the field of prostate blood flow, this is a "nutritious environment" for the spread of pathogenic microorganisms, an inactive lifestyle makes this problem considerably exacerbated.Therefore, the reason for the massive spread of prostatitis among drivers of truckers and office workers is obvious.
In one way or another, up to 50% of the entire male population of the globe were once the symptoms of prostatitis.It is therefore so important to know the first signs of the disease and to seek medical help in good time.After all, the treatment of an advanced form of the disease is the idea of expensive and long.
Treatment that brings the patient back to a full life
Of course, it is much easier to get rid of prostatitis in the early stages than in a neglected illness.With the chronic form, however, doctors usually need long and complex treatment.
At the beginning, however, it is necessary to identify the basic cause of the pathology - stagnation of blood and (or) the inflammatory process of the prostate.
The complex treatment of prostatitis therefore includes:
- Inflammatory processes are treated with a variety of action antibiotics.In addition, medication are prescribed in the form of tablets and in the form of rectal candles.In the complex, infusions of medical herbs (chamomile, calendars), which are introduced in the form of microclemism, help in the complex.
- However, the treatment of prostatitis should not only be reduced to taking medication, but should also aim to restore the blood circulation in the area of the prostate, and this includes the complex of physiotherapy and therapeutic exercises.Such measures contribute to the better absorption of antibacterial drugs, since thanks to them, thanks to them, thanks to them, thanks to them.Doctors are often convicted of 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 because it has many contraindications, including an acute phase of the disease.
In summary, we can say that the problem of treatment and prevention of prostatitis largely depends on the desire and activity of the men.Elementary morning exercises, regular preventive examinations of the urologist, balanced diet - this is the key to male strength and durability!
