Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate gland, an organ, so important for the male body that it is not without reason that it is called "second heart of a man".
This gland has the shape of an unsaid roller located under the bladder.A blade of bladder and (partially) urethra passes through the gland roller.Prostatic iron structurally consists of a series of tubular-alveolar glands connected by muscle tissue.
The purpose of the prostate gland:
- Produce the secretory fluid necessary for the liquefaction, safety and transport of spermatozoa,
- 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.
Foracute prostatitisAll signs of a feverish state are characteristic:
- frequent painful urination;
- painful urination;
- painful defecation;
- increase in sweating;
- high temperature and febrile condition;
- the state of apathy and sleepiness;
- effort and a sense of general weakness;
- Reduce power.
Chronic prostatitisMuch more insidious: producing destructive works in the prostate gland, it does not find its presence little.As a rule, for chronic prostatitis, the impulse to night urination is typical (in the sense - the rise from the bed in the middle of the night for a visit to the bathroom) and an unexpressed sensation of an inconvenience to the groin.Unfortunately, few men attribute the importance of these symptoms.
All the above 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 parental sphere, but explains the malaise with an emotional state and fatigue.
The health of the prostate gland is unfortunately very fragile.As the medical statistics testify, this iron is 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
- penetration of the infection;This can be an infection that has been launched by a nearby organ (for example, an inflammatory process in the urethra, bladder, testicle, in appendices) or by a very distant one - by inflamed glands (tonsillitis), ears (otitis media), teeth (caries), even nails and skin infections.
The causal agents of the infection can be a wide variety of bacteria and viruses, as well as various mushrooms and pathogens.
- Performance of stagnant processes both in the prostate gland itself, and in general in the genital sphere of a man, that is, inflammation without a carrier of infection.
Stagnation in the parental sphere is a frequent phenomenon.It means that a man has problems with the correct way of life and, as a rule, these problems are often caused by a sedentary lifestyle and are so connected that, according to authoritative scientists, the scale and all the bilification of 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 guide an ascetic lifestyle.
It is certainly possible to predict the aspect of prostatitis in men who lead random sexual life even if they follow the contraception of the barrier.
Who is at risk?
The enemies of prostate health are excess weight, alcohol, smoking, wearing inappropriate clothes (narrow, synthetic or not up to the season), hypothermia, frequent transport in transport (on any transport, but above all on cars and motorcycles), and does not matter in what quality - a driver or a passenger.Those men who are forced to make frequent trips are subjected to a double threat of prostatitis: due to the constant agitation and due to the impossibility of emptying the bladder and intestine to the first calls.
Prostatitis because of the agitation became so frequent that the doctors called it the second coming of the Scita disease ("scita disease" - prostatitis from the guide).From constant agitation, perineum microtrauma occurs, which has a cumulative effect and, consequently, manifests itself from typical problems of a time for serious injuries.
The consequences of prostatitis
Complications of prostatitis: this is impotence and infertility, prostate adenoma, prostate sclerosis (death of the gland), prostate cystsAnd many other diseases.To date, medicine has accumulated enough examples that demonstrate mutual conditioningProstatitis and prostate cancer.
The frightening scale of prostatitis does not mean despair before this very insidious disease.They only speak of the underdevelopment of the culture of the doctors visiting.The statistics say: in 90 percent of patients who have faced the doctor, there is the development of prostatitis and there are few patients who are diagnosed with the initial phase of the disease.
It is true, recently, doctors have spoken of small but distinct positive movements in this sector: the number of patients who are facing a preventive purpose has increased.As a rule, these are young with the active life position so called.The community of doctors in every way welcomes this company.
Diagnosis of prostatitis
Establishing the fact that prostatitis is only half of the battle.The main thing is to find the reason that caused it.For this, a diagnostic examination should lead.
The patient who contacted the clinic for diagnosis of prostatitis will be offered:
- PCR for sexual infections,
- Ultrasound and trusted prostate, bladder and seed bubbles,
- microscopy of the secretion of the prostate gland,
- sowing the secretion of the prostate gland to determine the pathogen of the infection (this is necessary to determine the sensitivity to antibiotics and choose the corresponding antibiotic),
- various urine tests,
- spermogram;
- Palpation of the prostate.
All these tests are necessary for the choice of treatment, otherwise it would become symptomatic (aimed only at removing the symptoms of pain, without affecting the treatment as such).
The treatment of acute prostatitis and the treatment of chronic prostatitis have significant differences.
Treatment of prostatitis
The treatment of acute prostatitis is normally complex and can 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.The antibiotics for its treatment are prescribed taking into account the sensitivity of the microbes that caused them.
In order for the treatment to be as effective as possible, atibacterial therapy is combined with laser therapy, prostate massage, as well as with anti -inflammatory therapy and general strengthening.
Prostate massage is necessary to squeeze purulent masses from the prostate, which are always there, with inflammation of the prostate.
In chronic prostatitis, the intake of antibiotics as the only form of treatment is ineffective;A combination with other methods is required.
After the course of the treatment, a prostate control ultrasound and a control analysis of the secretion of the prostate gland are necessarily conducted.
The prognosis of the treatment of prostatitis is favorable (the prognosis of the treatment of prostatitis in an early stage is successful).
