The prostate gland (prostate) is an important part of the male reproductive system: produces a secret that provides motor activity and sperm durability. The secret contains enzymes, immunoglobulin, citric acid, vitamins, zinc ions. In the event of a violation of the activity of the prostate gland, the sexual function of the male body decreases. The most common prostate disease is its inflammation - prostatitis. He is usually exposed to him at the age of 20-50. The older the man, the higher the risk of incidence. The prostate continues in an acute or chronic form, it is often difficult to diagnose and can lead to constant prostate dysfunction. The most severe consequences of prostatitis are infertility and prostate cancer.
About half of skilled men are sick worldwide for chronic prostate. Modern medicine is very actively engaged in the treatment of prostate. Prostatitis, in reality, is successfully treated - it is only important to diagnose it as soon as possible. Once the initial signs of the prostatitis appear, it is necessary to contact a urologist. In the early stages, outpatient treatment is possible, in advanced cases the patient is hospitalized. The course of treatment with both versions is one to two weeks, after which the patient should take preventive measures to prevent new inflammation of the prostate gland. Relapson the frequency of chronic prostatitis - over 50%
Types of prostate
Depending on the causes and clinical appearance of the course of the disease, the following types of prostatitis are distinguished:
Acute prostatitis- Seriously leaking inflammation of the prostate gland, which occurs as a result of bacterial infection of its tissue. Many bacteria are part of the normal microflora of the body and are constantly present in the intestines and skin. However, when the prostate gland enters the tissues-especially due to disregarding the rules of elementary hygiene and other causes-they can cause the development of an acute inflammatory process. Acute prostatitis is extremely rare. Treatment should be done in a hospital.
Chronic bacterial prostatitis- is one -third of all cases of inflammation of the prostate gland. This form of prostatitis is dangerous in that painful signs can be spontaneously immersed even without treatment. But that does not mean healing - after a while, an irritation occurs, which persists every time more painful. If you do nothing over and over again, there is a risk of developing purulent seal, stoning of prostate stones, bladder inflammation and other serious complications, up to cancer.
Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic syndrome. A difficult form to diagnose prostatitis manifested by persistent pain in the pelvic area, which lasts more than three months. Along the way, neurological disorders and psychological disorders may be observed. Diagnosis is made by exception, tests may not show signs of inflammation.
Chronic asymptomatic prostatitis. It continues asymptomatic and can be detected according to the results of urine analysis, which indicate the high concentration of leukocytes and bacteria.
Chronic granulomatous prostatitis. It is usually a side effect of treating medicines of other diseases or radiation of the prostate gland. During this disease, the prostate gland tissue is gradually replaced by connective tissue, and iron ceases to function.
Symptoms of the disease
In men suffering from various forms of prostate, common symptoms can be distinguished. These include: difficulty in urinating due to compression of the blade canal with an inflamed prostate gland. When urinating, pain and burning can be observed. Violation of the lifting mechanism, weakening of orgasm. Accelerated spill. Reduction of power. Mental depression, anxiety. For a prostate patient, a psychological mood for healing is very important. Stress also weakens the body and complicates treatment, which leads to even greater pressure. It is difficult for the patient to explode from this closed circle, so sometimes antidepressants are also described with prostate.
The causes of prostate
The causes of prostate disease are quite diverse, but are mainly associated with a man's neglect of his health: sexually transmitted infections; violation of blood flow to the pelvic organs for example, due to a sedentary lifestyle; prolonged sexual abstentions, interrupted sexual intercourse or artificial extension of sexual intercourse; impaired immunity; Frequent hypothermia, which is characteristic of lovers of extreme sports; stress; hormonal imbalance; lack of vitamins and trail elements; Non -disagreement with the rules of personal hygiene.
Complications
Prostatitis gives men serious concerns: urination problems, decreased sexual desire, damaged erectile function. If the patient does not receive adequate treatment in time, he can develop infertility with a probability of 40%, as the prostate iron will no longer be able to develop a secret in normal amount and quality. The prostatitis itself is unacceptable, as it can lead to a deterioration in the patient's condition and the appearance of simultaneous diseases. For example, incorrectly prescribed antibiotics adversely affect the intestinal microflora and significantly reduce immunity, not solving the problem with the prostate gland. Other medicines only mask the disease and its symptoms, exacerbating the situation. Therefore, prostatitis should be diagnosed and treated with an experienced specialist.
PREVENTION
Preventive measures to prevent prostatitis include: careful observance of personal hygiene; Regular regular life of sex life; healthy physical activity; diet with sufficient protein content, vitamins and trace elements; increased general immunity; abstention in consumption and smoking; timely treatment of any infectious disease; Reduce the overall level of daily stress. Due to the large number of prostate types and provocative factors of its development, men should be careful about their well -being and at least twice a year visit a urologist. This is especially important after forty years.
