Chronic prostatitis is a slow prostate disease.For him, like any other chronic pathology, changes during the expansion and remission are characteristic.The disease develops slowly, without conveying almost no anxiety to the patient in the early years, except for a single symptom that often does not pay attention.However, the development of pathology can violate the violation of the function of the prostate gland and the development of complications, so it is important to identify it in the early stages.
You can undergo urological prevention checks at the field clinic.If necessary, the individual treatment regimen will be developed for you, thanks to you will get rid of the disease in no time and avoid complications.
Characteristics of diseases
Chronic prostatitis in men is one of the most common pathologies in the genitourinary system.About 30% of patients from 20 to 50 years of age.
The prostate gland is a non -aligned organ located under the bladder.It is responsible for the quality of the sperm: it produces a special secret that is an important component.And during the stand, the prostate iron closes out of the bladder.
Because the development of acute and chronic prostatitis is often infected (bacteria, viruses or fungi).They can penetrate the prostate gland through the blood, lymph, although the focus of the infection is far from the prostate.Also, infections often fall into the prostate gland directly from the urethra.Both of these organs are interrelated: the prostate channel is open to the urethra.And also through the prostate gland beyond the early part of the urethra.
These infections 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.Microorganisms that live in the urethra are harmless in their "habitat".However, for the prostate gland, they can be foreign, and if they fall into it, they can trigger the development of inflammation.
Prostatitis can:
- Infectious origin - caused by bacteria, viruses or fungi.
- Inadvertently - develops with stagnation of the prostate gland secretion.
The cause of the development of a disease
The cause of development depends on the form of chronic prostatitis.Infectious forms occur in the following diseases:
- Urethritis.
- Orchitis (powdery -new testis).
- Cystitis.
The source of the infection does not need to be located around the prostate gland.Pathology can occur in the background of other infections that develop in the body: caries, sinusitis, inflammation of the lungs, bronchitis, etc.
Also, chronic prostatitis can develop as a result of the uneven acute process of bacteria.
The secretion of the prostate gland secretion occurs due to blood stagnation in the pelvic organs, which can be caused by:
- Irregular sex life.
- Sediment.
- Wear tight pants.
- Bad habits (alcohol abuse, smoking).
Stagnant forms are found in 85% of chronic prostatitis cases.
Factors that increase the risk of developing secondary disease -both forms include:
- Normal microtrauma, bruised pelvic organs.
- Incorrect nutrition.
- Nervous load.
- The wrong sex life.
- Hypothermia and stay long in the environment with increased moisture.
These factors either cause a decline in blood supply to the pelvic organs, or increase the likelihood of penetration of infection into the prostate gland.
Chronic prostatitis diagnosis is made to representatives of several professions more often than people with different activities.Risk groups include:
- Trucks and other drivers (had to be in the same position for a long time).
- Programmers, office workers (sedentary lifestyle).
- Fishermen (staying in a cold for a long time).
- Professional athletes: football players, wrestlers, volleyball players, basketball players (often risk injuries to the pelvis area).
- Sailors and geologists (facing bad weather conditions: cold, damp).
Chronic prostatitis: Symptoms
Symptoms of chronic prostatitis are:
- Pain in the horizon, in the lower abdomen: they can be given to the rectum, sacrum.
- Erection disorders, premature ejaculation, lack of ejaculation.
- Urination Disorders: Frequent urge to urinate, difficulty with bladder, urinary tract pain.
In the early stages of chronic prostatitis, symptoms are weak.Pain is not important and passing.Urinary disorders also occur irregularly.Therefore, patients often do not provide essential symptoms for these symptoms and do not consult your doctor.He came to acceptance even though the signs of the disease were clearly stated.
It is necessary even if there are rare symptoms to consult a doctor, otherwise the disease can cause complications.
Chronic prostatitis complications
The presence of persistent focus of infection can lead to its spread to other organs and the development of pathology in it.Chronic prostatitis complications are:
- Cystitis is an inflammation of the bladder.
- Pyelonephritis - inflammation of the purulent kidney
- Veziculite - inflammation of the seed bubble.
- Orchoepidimitis - inflammation of the penis and its supplements.
Inflammatory diseases of the genitouriner system, in turn, can bring:
- To infertility.
- to prostate cancer.
- To prostate adenoma.
REFERENCE!In chronic prostatitis, erectile dysfunction often develops.This is due to the fact that the nerves are responsible for erection through the prostate gland.When the pathological process develops in it, this often affects them.
Diagnostics
To identify the disease, you need to visit a urologist or an andrologist.First, the doctor will collect anamnesis: he will hear complaints and ask.Then he will conduct a visual examination and prostate finger examination.In addition, the following types of research may be required:
- Bacteriological urine examination.
- Microscopic examination of the prostate gland secretion.
- Prostate ultrasound.
- Sperm.
- Smear from the urethra (to identify sexual infections).
- Prostate biopsy.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis
Chronic prostatitis treatment is mainly conservative.Surgery is performed only if therapy does not provide the required results, or complications arise:
- Abscesses from the prostate or cloth around.
- Prostate cancer.
- Prostate adenoma.
- Severe pathology of the urethra.
Conservative treatment involves appointment:
- Medicines: non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, alpha barriers, immunomodulators, drugs, accelerate regeneration.With severe pain, the block of medicine can be prescribed.
- Prostate massage.Allows you to eliminate unstable phenomena, improve blood circulation in the affected area and outflow of the prostate gland secretion.However, before setting a massage, additional studies are conducted, because in some cases it can worsen the situation.
- Physiotherapy procedure.Usually prescribed: magnetic therapy;electrophoresis;laser therapy;Ultrasound therapy.
- Diet.With its help, it occurs: eliminating the risk of inflammation, improves digestive tract, improves immunity, reduces the burden on the internal organs, normalizes blood circulation throughout the body.It is necessary to eat non -construction with food, steamed, cooked or roasted in the oven, with a minimum of salt.The basis of diet in chronic prostatitis is low fish, lean meat (chicken, turkey, rabbit, beef), cereals, vegetables, macarone products made from cereal flour, light soup.It is necessary to exclude: fried foods, spicy, fatty, smoke, salt, canned foods, half-finished products, fast food, mushrooms, spices, including onions and garlic, citrus, legumes and cabbage, fatty meat, strong tea, alcohol, carbonated drinks, candy and concrete planting.
- In severe cases, surgical treatment is performed. Transurethral resection of the prostate gland - the removal of the pathological site or the entire prostate, run without injury (device introduced through the urethra), most often prescribed for the development of prostate adenoma.Prostateectomy - removal of the prostate or its area in a normal surgical manner with the implementation of the division.
Prevention of chronic prostatitis
To prevent the development of the disease, it is important to eliminate any focus of the infection in the body.Normal sex life will benefit, excluding random relationships.A variety of diets and moderate physical activity will strengthen immunity.It is necessary to avoid hypothermia, sit down prolonged (if this requires work, need to take a break and choose), underwear.It is also important as a prevention of taking urological examinations every year.
