Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate gland, an organ, so important to the male body that is not without reason that it is called "second heart of a man."
This gland is shaped like a tacit roll located below the bladder.A bladder mouth and (partially) the urethra passes through the gland roll.The structurally prostate iron consists of a set of tubular-alveolar tubular glands connected by muscle tissue.
The objective of the prostate:
- Produce the secretory fluid required for liquefaction, safety and sperm transportation,
- Regulation of the urination process.
There are two types of prostatitis - acute and chronic, and chronic prostatitis represents 95% of the total number of prostatitis diseases.
Toacute prostatitisAll signs of a feverish state are characteristic:
- frequent painful urination;
- painful urination;
- painful defecation;
- Increased perspiration;
- high temperature and feverish condition;
- the state of apathy and drowsiness;
- fatigue and a sense of general weakness;
- Power reduction.
Chronic prostatitisMuch more insidious: By producing destructive work in the prostate gland, he does not find his presence little.As a rule, for chronic prostatitis, the desire for night urination is typical (in the sense - the rise of the bed in the middle of the night for a visit to the bathroom) and an unrepired feeling of inconvenience in the groin.Unfortunately, few men attribute the importance of these symptoms.
All the above symptoms can be observed simultaneously, but they can - selectively (only a few symptoms);However, there are situations where a man does not correlate these symptoms with the disease of the genitourinary sphere, but explains evil -to be with an emotional and fatigue state.
The health of the prostate gland is unfortunately, very fragile.As medical statistics witness, this iron is easily inflamed.It is almost impossible to call a reason that certainly does not cause inflammation of the prostate gland.
The causes of prostatitis
- infection penetration;This can be an infection that has been thrown from a neighboring organ (eg, an inflammatory process in the urethra, bladder, testis, in appendices) or a very distant inflamed glands (tonsillitis), ears (otitis media), teeth (cars), uniform nail and skin infections.
Infection -causing agents can be a wide variety of bacteria and viruses, as well as various pathogenic fungi and viruses.
- The exacerbation of stagnant processes in both the prostate gland itself and in general in a man's genital sphere, that is, inflammation without an infection carrier.
Stagnation in the genitourinary sphere is a frequent phenomenon.This means that a man has problems with the right way of life, and as a rule, these problems are usually caused by a sedentary lifestyle and are so connected that, according to authoritarian scientists, the scale and all the height of prostatitis in our time is a duty of civilizational benefits.In addition, prostatitis is waiting for those who are overly active in sexual terms and those who carry an ascetic lifestyle.
It is definitely possible to predict the appearance of prostatitis in men who lead random sexual life, even if they follow barrier contraception.
Who is at risk?
Prostate health enemies are overweight, alcohol, tobacco, inadequate clothing (tight, synthetic or not to season), hypothermia, frequent transportation travel (in any transportation, but especially in cars and motorcycles), and no matter what quality - a driver or passenger.Those men who are forced to make frequent trips are subjected to a double threat of prostatitis: because of the constant tremor and due to the impossibility of emptying the bladder and the intestines in the first calls.
Prostatitis as a result of the tremor became so frequent that doctors called him a second coming from the disease (“Cythian disease” - prostatitis for piloting).From constant agitation, the perineum microtrauma occurs, which has a cumulative effect and, as a result, manifests itself by typical time problems for serious injuries.
The consequences of prostatitis
Complications of prostatitis: This is impotence and infertility, prostate adenoma, prostate sclerosis (gland death), prostate cystsand many other diseases.So far, medicine has accumulated enough examples, proving that mutual conditioningProstatitis and prostate cancer.
The scary scale of prostatitis does not mean hopelessness before this very insidious disease.They only talk about the underdevelopment of the culture of visiting doctors.Statistics say: in 90 % of patients who approached the doctor, the development of prostatitis is found and there are few patients diagnosed with the early stage of the disease.
It is true that doctors have recently talked about small but distinct positive movements in this area - the number of patients facing a preventive goal has increased.As a rule, these are young men with the active life position so called.The community of doctors in every way possible receives this venture.
Prostatitis diagnosis
Establishing the fact that prostatitis is only half of the battle.The main thing is to find the reason that caused it.For this, you should take a diagnostic exam.
The patient who contacted the clinic about the diagnosis of prostatitis will be offered to pass:
- PCR for sexual infections,
- Ultrasound and trusi prostate, bladder and seed bubbles,
- microscopy of prostate gland secretion,
- Sowing the prostate gland secretion to determine the pathogen of the infection (it is necessary to determine antibiotic sensitivity and choose the corresponding antibiotic),
- several urine tests,
- sperm;
- Palpation of the prostate.
All of these tests are necessary to choose treatment, otherwise it would become symptomatic (intended only for the removal of pain symptoms without affecting treatment as such).
The treatment of acute prostatitis and the treatment of chronic prostatitis have significant differences.
Prostatitis Treatment
The treatment of acute prostatitis is usually complex and may include:
- antibacterial therapy,
- anti -inflammatory therapy,
- laser treatment,
- Prostate massage.
The treatment of chronic prostatitis is always individual and depends on the medical history (the type of prostatitis) and the individual characteristics of the patient.
The most common type of prostatitis is bacterial prostatitis.Antibiotics for their treatment are prescribed taking into account the sensitivity of the microbes that caused them.
For treatment to be as effective as possible, Atibacterial Therapy is combined with laser therapy, prostate massage, as well as anti -inflammatory and general strengthening therapy.
Prostate massage is necessary to squeeze purulent masses of the prostate, which are always there, with inflammation of the prostate.
In chronic prostatitis, taking antibiotics as the only form of treatment is ineffective;A combination with other methods is required.
After the course of treatment, they are necessarily a prostate control ultrasound and a prostate secretion control analysis.
The prognosis of prostatitis treatment is favorable (the prognosis of prostatitis treatment at an early stage is successful).
