prostatitis

The diagnosis of prostatitis often frightens men, but is this disease so dangerous? Prostate inflammation is not a sentence, this problem can be eliminated if treatment is started in time.

Overview of prostatitis

The prostate is an important male organ, any deviation from the norm in its functioning can cause discomfort and negative symptoms. For a number of reasons, this glandular-muscular element fails to fully fulfill its functions:

• control urination;
• secrete a special secret for sperm.

The disease can be bacterial and non-bacterial. The course of the disease is acute and chronic. It is imperative to deal with multiple types of prostatitis to avoid complications.
Symptoms of the disease are mainly associated with pathologies of the urinary system, as well as sexual disorders.
Sexually mature young men (according to statistics, up to 85% of patients aged 25 to 50 years) suffer from symptoms associated with prostatitis. If you don't engage in treatment, complications and failures in reproductive function arise. Bringing prostate health back to normal is every healthy man's job.

By contacting a specialist clinic, you can get competent advice about prostatitis, carry out diagnostic tests, and initiate treatment prescribed by top-level doctors.

Predisposing factors. Causes of Prostatitis

The causes of prostate inflammation are usually related to the activation of bacteria that lead to infection in the genitourinary system, as well as in other organs. Under certain conditions, even E. coli can cause prostatitis in humans.
There are several factors that negatively affect the prostate:

• long stay in the cold;
• ingestion of infections;
• malfunction of the endocrine and circulatory systems;
• lack of regular sex life;
• hormonal disorders;
• hypodynamics;
• stress instability and a weak nervous system;
• smoking, alcohol abuse;
• tight, synthetic underwear;
• violation of basic hygiene rules.

Prostatitis is often a logical consequence of men's inattention to their health and lifestyle. Man simply does not think about the reasons that lead to prostatitis. For example, alcohol and tobacco lovers, often sitting in front of the TV, are at high risk for symptoms of prostatitis. This lifestyle leads to blood stagnation in the pelvic region and the accumulation of infections, which can become a trigger for prostate problems.

Etiology

There are many sources of infections that cause prostatitis. With prostatitis, we are talking about these infectious agents:

• Staphylococcus aureus;
• Escherichia coli;
• klebsiele;
• enterococci;
• seratia;
• Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Most of them are present in the normal flora of a man's body, but under certain circumstances viruses are activated and pose a health threat. Prostate inflammation occurs when these viruses in the prostate gland behave abnormally.

prostatitis symptoms

A different clinical picture associated with prostatitis manifests depending on the stage and type of disease.
Chronic and acute prostatitis have different symptoms.

The chronic form of the disease is characterized by alternating periods of disease exacerbation and its attenuation. This leads to men delaying treatment because they consider the problem frivolous and temporary.
Many men who are diagnosed with prostatitis have the wrong idea about the direct connection of sexual disorders to the disease. Inflammation of the prostate can lead to psychosomatics, which is expressed in patients suspected of developing abnormalities in the sexual sphere. Often this has nothing to do with acute or chronic prostatitis, we are talking here about the psychological symptoms of prostatitis.

Diagnosis

Prostate inflammation is easy to diagnose. the disease is evidenced by vivid and indicative clinical manifestations.
Methods for diagnosing prostatitis:

• palpation;
• rectal exam;
• study of prostate secretion;
• urethra sampling;
• laboratory tests;
• ultrasound examination.

All of these studies are prescribed by a urologist to clarify the diagnosis and prescribe a course of treatment for prostatitis.
In some cases, spermography is done to rule out problems with reproductive function. Advanced stage prostatitis can cause infertility, erectile dysfunction.

Treatment

When faced with symptoms of prostatitis, patients should seek medical attention. Many clinics have accumulated a lot of positive experience in treating such patients.

Acute form

The therapy, in this case, consists of taking antibacterial agents. Most of the time, the patient is not admitted to the hospital; treatment can be done on an outpatient basis. Prostatitis is treated with mandatory consideration of the type of infectious agent.
With the purulent process developing in the prostate, the patient must be hospitalized and an abscess is opened through the urethra or rectally.
Antibiotics, which are able to deal with prostate inflammation, will help patients eliminate negative manifestations. Unfortunately, even with the most intensive therapy, acute-stage prostatitis often develops into a chronic form.

chronic type

The treatment of chronic prostatitis must be approached with special care to avoid complications. An integrated approach is a prerequisite for effective treatment.
The complex includes:

• Taking antibacterial medications. The prescription of medications is made by the physician, taking into account the results of the analysis of prostate secretions and urine culture.
• Prostate Massage. This method can eliminate the development of blood stasis in this organ, aid in the secretion of the prostate and improve the effect of medications.
• Physiotherapy procedures. Prostatitis will regress under the pressure of ultrasound, electromagnetic waves.
• Immunostimulating measures. Boosting immunity to prostatitis will help the patient activate the body's defenses.
• Refusal of bad habits (this includes not just alcohol and smoking, dependence on a sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy eating).
• Fitness. Complementary treatment should not be considered a panacea. Exercise alone cannot eliminate prostatitis. Most of the time, gymnastics is prescribed as prophylaxis.

For patients with signs of prostatitis, you can still use popular prescriptions, but not replace them with a prescription. Decoctions of herbs, juices, pumpkin seeds, honey, propolis and other agents should be considered by patients only as a supplement. Following your doctor's recommendations is the key to effectively fighting prostatitis.

complications

A man can have serious problems if he doesn't deal properly with the fight against prostate inflammation.
Possible complications:

• vesiculitis;
• colliculitis;
• prostate diseases;
• abscess followed by scarring;
• cystic processes in the prostate;
• the formation of stones in the gland;
• erectile dysfunction;
• premature ejaculation;
• infertility.

Prevention

Prostatitis can be prevented with a consistent focus on male health.
Timely clearance of infections from the genitourinary system is one of the main factors in a full life for men, because many untreated inflammatory and infectious diseases lead to prostatitis.

Another important preventive measure is protected sex. Using a condom, the absence of promiscuous sex will help men avoid many problems.
The prevention of prostate inflammation cannot do without adherence to the diet, the use of proven and healthy products. Refusing bad habits and an active lifestyle are also good helpers for men in preventing prostate problems.

Compression of the prostate and blood stagnation in this organ can be avoided if constipation is avoided.
In other words, by eliminating the risk factors for the onset of the disease, you can be assured of the health of a man's vital organs.
