Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland, which is called prostate. The iron of the prostate is a secondary part of the male reproductive organs. It is under the bladder around your neck. The fact is that the urethra passes through the prostate, that is, the prostate is around the urinary pipe. As a result, with an increase in the prostate, a channel is squeezed, which shows urine, which interferes with the urine passage.
In men over 35, the prostate often increases. This is a typical phenomenon. Most of the diseases in men over 50 are only a consequence of the rape of the genitourinary system, that is, as a result of the inflammation of the prostate gland. It should be remembered that the more prostate iron, the more urine it will be blocked, therefore, the body will be more poisoned with this urine.
The causes of prostatitis
The causes of prostatitis are distinguished by the following:
- The main cause of prostatitis is a violation of blood circulation, which leads to an increase in the prostate. The cause of a violation of blood circulation is a sedentary lifestyle, as well as a great weight.
- Another cause of prostatitis is an infection. Often, an infection can be as a result of gonorrhea or urethritis, less frequently as a result of complications of tonsillitis, influenza, tuberculosis.
- The inflammation of a bacterial prostate begins when the infectious counterparts entered the prostate gland through blood, lymph, during unprotected sexual relations, in other words through the biological fluids of the body. Several microorganisms that are constantly present in the skin of a person, or even in the organs of the abdominal cavity, such as intestines, under certain conditions, can cause the development of the disease.
- The lesions of the organs and soft tissues of the pelvis, the violation of its circulation are often the cause of prostatitis. As a general rule, especially this applies to drivers whose work is associated with professional damage: constant vibrations, tremors, greater load in the perineum muscles.
Prostatitis signs
Acute prostatitis signs are an increase in rapid body temperature and urination, which is accompanied by hard and weak pressure. In addition, the signs of prostatitis are the burning of perineum and pain in the rectum during defecation. In the purulent inflammation stage, the probable spontaneous opening of the abscess and the expiration of the pus of the urethra or the rectum.
A sign of chronic prostatitis is burned in urethra and perineum, the release of pus at the end of the act of defecation or urine, greater fatigue and irritability of the body.
It is very dangerous with difficulty prostatitis to urinate, which, in the absence of timely treatment, can lead to acute urinary retention.
If we talk about not even a specialized manifestation, then in most cases patients notice a transparent or sometimes purulent discharge of the urethra, especially notable in the morning and the presence of white flakes and threads in the urine.
Prostatitis symptoms
Acute form. Like many diseases, prostatitis is divided into acute and chronic. General symptoms are characteristic of the manifestation in an acute way of the disease.
- The patient develops general weakness, obvious discomfort
- Often accompanied by an increase in body temperature, headaches
- As a general rule, pain in the perineum has a pronounced character, covers the inguinal region and intensifies during urine or defecation.
- The sensation of frequent urgency to the bathroom that does not provide relief due to the non -complex emptying of the bladder leads to greater irritability and nervous excitability of patients. In severe cases, acute urinary retention is developed.
Chronic form. Unlike the acute form, the chronic form of prostatitis has an asymptomatic course and proceeds in a latent way (that is, without features pronounced). The clinical image is often erased, with mild symptoms, patients do not lend due discovery of adequate care and do not consider the need to seek medical help, confusing the symptoms of prostatitis with the adenoma of the prostate, which is extremely dangerous. The principles for the treatment of these diseases are completely different, as well as possible complications with undesirable consequences.
Often, the deterioration of the general well, the problems with the power and nerve disorders of men are discarded by fatigue and lack of rest, that is, a person simply does not want to realize that he is sick and needs treatment. An important role in the timely detection of this disease is the annual preventive exams that allow establishing a diagnosis in the early stages.
The chronic inflammation form of the prostate is expressed in mild pain in the perineum, in the pubic area and the groin, which pass rapidly. As a general rule, the duration of sexual relations changes, both towards the elongation and the vice versa and the brightness of sexual sensations. Downloads appear from the urethra, especially in the morning, or white flakes are visible in the urine with the naked eye.
Diagnosis of prostatitis
The identification of prostatitis is dedicated to a urologist. Diagnosis the fact of damage to the prostate gland. According to the symptoms of the disease, the doctor can already determine the stage of its development during the first trick. Be sure to be prescribed to the ultrasound of a man's prostate.
Possible diagnostic measures:
- Palpation of the prostate gland during the initial exam.
- The fence of a smear of the urethra. The result is sent for a bacteriological examination.
- DELEP OF THE URINE FOR ANALYSIS.
- PSA level evaluation. It is a protein of the prostate gland.
If the data obtained are not enough to make a diagnosis, then the patient is placed in a hospital and, under their conditions, a urodynamic exam is carried out.
Cistoscopy is a method to diagnose prostate diseases, during which the doctor can perform some therapeutic manipulations. However, they rarely turn to him.
Treatment of acute and chronic prostatitis
Although a disease such as prostatitis is known and is widely used between men of various ages, it is quite difficult to treat.
While with acute prostatitis therapy of difficulties, as a rule, there are no chronic correction prostatitis is not always turned on. In addition, it is necessary to treat chronic inflammation of the prostate gland in scientists has many points of view.
However, the following points have no disagreements:
- The effectiveness of therapy depends directly on its timely beginning.
- The therapy must be carried out in the complex, while all the characteristics of the health status of a particular patient must be taken into account. It is extremely important to calculate the reason that led to the development of pathology.
- The car -diagnosis and auto -medication are strictly prohibited.
Acute bacterial prostatitis treatment
The treatment of acute bacterial prostatitis depends directly on how expressed are the symptoms of the disease. Sometimes, the patient's condition is extremely serious, which often occurs when the body is intoxicated.
The disease manifests acutely, body temperature increases sharply, chills appear, pain in the pelvis, in the lower back, perineum. It is possible to join the nausea and vomiting, a violation of the process of emptying the bladder with acute pain, a sensation of ardor, etc. This condition is dangerous with its complications. It is possible to join bacterial infection, the development of the abscess of the prostate gland. Most of the time, complications arise in the context of existing chronic diseases, for example, in the presence of diabetes.
If the disease is acute, the man must be hospitalized in the hospital, in the urological profile department. If this is not possible, then the patient is determined in the general surgical department.
There is a general treatment tactic to perform patients with acute prostatitis:
- Compliance with bed rest.
- The appointment of antibacterial medications.
- A prohibition of prostate massage even to obtain a prostate secret. The prohibition is due to a high risk of sepsis.
- The appointment of medications aimed at normalizing the microcirculation of the blood, to increase its fluidity and viscosity. Due to the effect of these medications, it is possible to achieve an exit from the lymph and venous blood of the inflamed gland, reduce toxic manifestations and eliminate body decomposition products.
- NSAine October reception. They are prescribed to reduce pain.
- It is possible to use other analgesics. In addition to reducing pain, these medications eliminate inflammation to some extent. In their practice, urologists and Andrologists widely use rectal candles to have an analgesic effect to reduce inflammation. They include the same components as in tablet medications, but thanks to the local administration, the effect is improved. You can use prostatitis candles with propolis.
- If the patient suffers from severe poisoning of the body, the introduction of rheological solutions, as well as detoxification and electrolyte agents, a potassium chloride solution with the addition of glucose.
Surgical intervention is necessary if the possibility of emptying independent of the bladder is completely absent, or a prostate abscess has been formed.
The use of antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial prostatitis is mandatory. If the disease begins acutely, there are symptoms of poisoning, then antibacterial medications are prescribed as quickly as possible, wait for the results of the tests for bacterial flora in this case are inappropriate and dangerous.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis
Chronic prostatitis therapy depends directly on which stage the disease is. If the disease is exacerbated, then the treatment is similar to treatment with acute bacterial prostatitis.
Offer the patient's following tactics:
- Reception of the NSAID course.
- The appointment of funds aimed at normalizing the output of lymph and improving the microcirculation of the blood in the organ.
- Immunomodulatory preparations.
- To eliminate problems with erection, the use of antidepressants and sedatives is shown.
- To strengthen pelvic muscles, regular physical activity helps normalize blood circulation. It is better if it is a complex specially compiled of physiotherapy exercises. Physiotherapeutic procedures have a good electrophoresty-recal of effect, transrective microwave hyperthermia, UHF, magnetic laser therapy, etc. These procedures help eliminate pelvic pain syndrome.
Prostatitis complications and consequences
Prostatitis is a serious illness that is associated with a series of complications. Sometimes you fix them to get rid of them, and sometimes they are irreversible. Therefore, with the first manifestations of the disease, you must contact a specialist.
Then, with prostatitis, testicles and appendages can be inflamed. If it does not eliminate the pathological reaction of the body in time, that is, the probability of developing the abscess, in which the organ will begin to rot.
Preventive measures
Chronic prostatitis prevention measures are mainly directed to prevent their exacerbation. In the event that this has already happened, inflammation must be eliminated as soon as possible.
To minimize the risk of relapse, you must completely reject or completely minimize the effect of the following negative factors:
- Alcohol consumption. This does not mean that it is necessary to abandon it at all, but it is necessary to limit. No one prohibits a glass of red wine, but you should not drink an entire bottle.
- Smoking. The prostate gland is the organ that constantly experiences oxygen hunger due to the poor blood supply. With the inhalation of tobacco smoke, blood vessels are spasms and blood microcirculation is even more altered. In addition, all smokers will suffer from high blood pressure.
- Lack of movement. You must force yourself to separate from the couch and start moving.
- Stress. You must learn to eliminate from the head all the negativity that was received during the day. The family in this case will be the best antidepressant. The weekend dedicated to relatives will replace any sedative.
- Hypothermia, colds. These negative factors directly affect the prostate gland. If there is a car, make sure the seats warm up in it.
- Excess physical work is no less dangerous than lack of movement. Do not lift the weights if the body is not prepared for this.
There are also several recommendations that will strengthen male health:
- Physical activityAt least 10 minutes of the morning should be dedicated to carrying the load. In this case, you do not need to include heavy exercises in training. That is just a soft gymnastics that allows you to disperse stagnant blood. The same rule is relevant with the work sitting.
- A contrast shower is also an excellent means to improve your good. It is very effective to take it before sexual relations. In addition, exposure to water is important both throughout the body and in the prostate. It is useful in this regard to visit the bathroom. But you should not immediately leave the steam room with ice water, this will only bring damage.
- As for food, you must include raw pumpkin seeds, honey, garlic, plums, parsley, nuts in your diet.
- It is necessary to reject products in pickle, especially this is true for several sauces with the addition of vinegar: mayonnaise, ketchup, salts, marinates, etc.
