Prostatitis is the inflammation of the prostate gland, an organ, so important for the male body that it is not without reason that it is called the "second heart of a man."
This gland is shaped like a tacit roller located under the bladder.A mouth of the bladder and (partially) urethra passes through the gland roller.Structurally prostate iron consists of a set of alveolar tubular glands connected by muscle tissue.
The purpose of the prostate gland:
- Produce the necessary secretory fluid for liquefaction, safety and sperm transportation,
- Urine process regulation.
There are two types of prostatitis: chronic and chronic prostatitis, and chronic prostatitis represents 95% of the total number of prostatitis diseases.
Foracute prostatitisAll signs of a feverish state are characteristics:
- frequent painful urine;
- painful urine;
- painful defecation;
- greater sweating;
- high temperature and feverish condition;
- the state of apathy and drowsiness;
- fatigue and a feeling of general weakness;
- Reducing power.
Chronic prostatitisMuch more insidious: by producing destructive work in the prostate gland, not finding its presence little.As a general rule, for chronic prostatitis, the impulse of night urination is typical (in the sense: the rise of the bed in the middle of the night to visit the toilet) and a sense of inconvenience without expression in the groin.Unfortunately, few of the men attribute the importance of these symptoms.
All previous symptoms can be observed simultaneously, but can, selectively (only a few symptoms);However, there are situations in which a man does not correlate these symptoms with the disease of the genitourinary sphere, but explains discomfort with an emotional state and fatigue.
The health of the prostate gland is unfortunately, very fragile.As medical statistics testify, this iron becomes very 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 (for example, an inflammatory process in the urethra, the bladder, the testicle, in the appendages) or of a very distant one, of inflamed glands (tonsilitis), ears (otitis media), teeth (caries), even nail infections and skin.
The causal agents of the infection can be a wide variety of bacteria and viruses, as well as several fungi and pathogenic viruses.
- Exacerbation of stagnant processes both in the prostate gland and in general in the genital sphere of a man, that is, inflammation without a bearer of infection.
Stagnation in the genitourinary sphere is a frequent phenomenon.It means that a man has problems with the correct way of life and, as a rule, often these problems are caused by a sedentary lifestyle, and are so connected that, according to authorized scientists, the scale and all prostatitis in our time is a duty on the benefits of civilization.In addition, prostatitis is waiting for those who are excessively active in sexual terms and those who lead an ascetic lifestyle.
It is definitely possible to predict the appearance of prostatitis in men who lead random sex, even if they follow the contraception of the barrier.
Who is at risk?
The enemies of the health of the prostate are excess weight, alcohol, smoking, the use of inappropriate clothing (narrow, synthetic or not even the season), hypothermia, frequent travel in transport (in any transport, but especially in cars and motorcycles), and no matter what quality, a driver or passenger.Those men who are forced to make frequent trips undergo a double threat of prostatitis: due to constant agitation, and due to the impossibility of emptying the bladder and the intestines in the first calls.
Prostatitis as a result of the shaking became so frequent that doctors called the second coming of the escita disease ("scitus disease" - prostatitis to be assembled).From constant agitation, microtrauma of the perineum occurs, which has a cumulative effect and, as a result, it is manifested by typical problems of a time for serious injuries.
The consequences of prostatitis
Prostatitis complications: this is impotence and infertility, prostate adenoma, prostate sclerosis (death of the gland), prostate cystsand many other diseases.To date, medicine has accumulated sufficient examples that prove mutual conditioningProstatitis and prostate cancer.
The terrifying 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 percent of patients who have directed the doctor, there is the development of prostatitis, and there are few patients who are diagnosed with the initial stage of the disease.
It is true, recently, doctors have been talking about small but different positive movements in this area: the number of patients facing a preventive purpose has increased.As a general rule, these are young men with the active life position that is calculated so.The community of doctors in all possible ways welcomes this company.
Diagnosis of prostatitis
Establishing the fact of prostatitis is just half of the battle.The main thing is to find the reason that caused it.For this, it is supposed to perform a diagnostic exam.
The patient will be offered that contacted the clinic on the diagnosis of prostatitis to pass:
- PCR for sexual infections,
- Ultrasound and prostate trusi, bladder and seed bubbles,
- microscopy of the secretion of the prostate gland,
- Sow the secretion of the prostate gland to determine the infection pathogen (this is necessary to determine the antibiotic sensitivity and choose the corresponding antibiotic),
- Several urine tests,
- spermogram;
- Prostate palpation.
All these tests are necessary for the choice of treatment, otherwise, it would become symptomatic (aimed only to eliminate the symptoms of pain, 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, as a rule, is 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.
In order for treatment to be as effective as possible, conibacterial therapy is combined with laser therapy, prostate massage, as well as anti -inflammatory and general strengthening therapy.
The 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 necessary.
After the treatment course, an ultrasound of prostate control and a control analysis of the secretion of the prostate gland are necessarily carried out.
The prognosis of the treatment of prostatitis is favorable (the prognosis of the treatment of prostatitis at an early stage is successful).
