Prostatitis is a urinary disease of the prostate gland, causing inflammation.Middle -aged and older men are most affected by its appearance.
Prostatitis is acute and chronic, but the chronic form of the disease is the most common.
Chronic prostatitis
Chronic prostatitis is a prolonged inflammatory disease of the prostate, leading to malfunctioning in the work of the male genital system.
The disease gradually develops for a few years (without much concern), so men only see a doctor in a serious process, accompanied by a significant decline in the country in general.
Chronic prostatitis is divided into two forms: infection and no infection.
The form of infectious transmission is the result of the introduction of infectious pathogens into the body.
The form of non -infection occurs with a violation of blood circulation in pelvic organs and the stagnation of secret in the prostate, contributing to the inflammatory process.
Reason
There are many different factors that can stimulate the appearance of chronic prostatitis.
The most important thing among them is:
- Violating the rhythm of sexual activity.
- Disrupt and tighten sex.
- Incorrect and timely treatment of prostatitis.
- The presence of pathology of pelvic organs.
- Infections of sexually transmitted pathogens.
- Inflammatory disease of internal organs.
- Lower body temperature.
- Lifestyle does not work.
- Alcohol abuse and smoking.
- Excessive anxiety.
- Excessive physical effort (including weight lift)
- Wear tight linen.
- Weaken the body's defensive ability.
Clinical manifestations
During the worsening time of chronic prostatitis, the presence of such symptoms is possible:
- The appearance of an uncomfortable and painful feeling in Perineum, Lumbosacral, scrotum.
- Violation of urination process (frequent urge, slow or non -continuous urine line)
- Reduce the quality of sexual function of a man (weak erection, lack of libido, early orgasm, etc.)
- Pain in the lower abdomen.
- Feeling uncomfortable after ejaculation.
According to its characteristics, chronic prostatitis is similar to other diseases of the genital system.To accurately determine the presence of a disease, a thorough test is necessary.
Consequences of the disease
Chronic prostatitis can lead to serious complications leading to the development of new diseases.
With incomplete or incomplete treatment, may occur:
- Cystitis and inflammatory processes and pleural inflammation in the urinary system.
- Vesiculite - Fostal inflammation (leading to infertility and urinary tract infection)
- Road inflammation - testicular inflammation and their appendages.
- A.
- Prostate sclerosis - The replacement of the tissue of the prostate bond, leading to reducing the size of the prostate and completely terminating its function (the only way to treat surgical intervention)
- Cysts and rocks appear in the prostate gland due to long -term chronic inflammation (removed surgery);
- Sexual dysfunction (up to infertility).
Diagnostic measures
The diagnosis is done by the following methods:
- Visual examination of the patient (checking the genitals to determine the skin rash and discharged from the urethra);
- Rectal inspection (to determine the structure, consistency, pain and the secret of the prostate);
- Check the bacteria of Tet from the urethra;
- Check blood and urine testing labs.
- In some cases, an ultrasonic test (ultrasound or ultrasound) is specified for more accurate diagnosis.
According to the change in the antibiotic properties of individual positions, the extent of the inflammatory process is evaluated, the echobillus of chronic prostatitis is determined: the increase in the size of the prostate gland, the diffusion changes in its structure, the presence of pathological formation in tissues.
The most obvious ultrasound characteristics are present in the cross -bridge ultrasound.It is considered to be more information and more reliable than piercing.
Signs of chronic prostatitis on ultrasound:
- The increase in mass of the prostate is over 20 cm3.
- Change the structure of the fabric (it becomes heterogeneous)
- The presence of puffiness of the prostate.
- The presence of fibrosis and calcium in the prostate gland.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis
The treatment of this disease is a long process and prolonged time and should take place strictly under the supervision of a doctor.
It is done by complex methods using the drug:
- Antibiotics of different groups, depending on the diagnostic test.It takes 10-14 days (depending on the severity of the disease).
- Anti -inflammatory, injections and rectal drugs relieve pain, reduce inflammation;
- The immune regulation substances to increase the body's protection force and positively impact cell activity.
- Alpha blockers promote urine, eliminate spasms and stress of the muscles of the bladder and urethra.
In addition, it is recommended that the prostate massage (to improve blood circulation and normalize the activity of the prostate), use physical therapy procedures (electrophoresis, laser treatment and magnetic field).
With appropriate treatment, patients should be completely improved (lack of symptoms of the disease for a long time).
Prevention measures
Prostate prevention includes:
- Compliance with diet and drinking.
- Maintain normal body weight.
- Physical and sports education regularly.
- Increase immunity.
- Enhance the nervous system.
- Eliminate from the use of harmful foods.
- Limit alcohol consumption and refuse smoking.
- Introducing regular sexual activity;
- Timely treatment of inflammatory and infectious diseases;
- Eliminate wearing tight underwear.
- Avoid lowering heat.
- Annual prevention test with a urinary doctor.
Do not forget that chronic prostatitis is easy to prevent (observing some rules) compared to many years of uncomfortable illness.
