Prostatitis is a prostate urological disease, which is inflammatory.Middle and older men are the most affected by her appearance.
Prostatitis is an acute and chronic, but the chronic disease form is the most widespread.
Chronic prostatitis
Chronic prostatitis is an extended inflammatory disease prostate, which leads to failures in the work of a male genitourin system.
The disease develops gradually several years (without bringing great concerns), so men see a doctor alone only during aggravation, followed by significant deterioration in the general state.
Chronic prostatitis is divided into two forms: infectious and non-infectious.
Infectious form is created as a result of introducing infectious pathogens into the body.
The non-effective form arises with violation of blood circulation in pelvic authorities and stagnation of secret in prostate, which contributes to the inflammatory process.
Causes
There are various factors that can cause chronic prostatitis appearance.
The most significant of them is:
- Breach of the rhythm of sexual activity.
- Interruption and tightening of sexual intercourse.
- Incorrect and premature treatment of prostatitis.
- The presence of pelvic pelvis.
- Infection of transposed sexually transmitted pathogens.
- Inflammatory diseases of internal organs.
- Body hypothermia.
- Inactive way of life.
- Alcohol abuse and smoking.
- Nervous overpayment work.
- Excessive physical effort (including weight lift)
- Wearing tight bedding.
- Weakening body defense.
Clinical manifestations
During the period of deterioration of chronic prostatitis, the presence of such symptoms is possible:
- The appearance of feelings of discomfort and pain in the perineum, Lumbusacral department, scrotum.
- Violation of the urination process (common urge, slow or occasional electricity of urine)
- Reducing the quality of a person's sexual function (low erection, lack of sexual plants, too early orgasm, etc.)
- Sharp pain in the lower abdomen.
- Unpleasant feelings after ejaculation.
Its characteristics, chronic prostatitis is similar to other diseases of the genitourin system.To correctly determine the presence of the disease, a thorough examination is required.
The consequences of the disease
Chronic prostatitis can lead to serious complications leading to the development of new diseases.
With untimely or unfinished treatment, it may appear:
- Currents and pyelonephritis-inflammatory and contagious processes in the urinary system.
- Vesiculite - inflammation of seed bubbles (leading to infertility and inflammation of the urogenital tract)
- OrhoepidiodiTIS - inflammation of the testicles and their supplements.
- Prostate abscess - cheap accumulation in prostate tissues (can lead to the formation of a fistula and obstruction of genitourist feces)
- Sclerosis Prostate - Replacing the glandular tissue of the prostate connection, which leads to a prostate size decrease and to the full termination of its functioning (the only way to treat surgical intervention)
- Cysts and stones that appear in the prostate due to long-lasting chronic inflammation (surgical);
- Sexual function disorder (to infertility).
Diagnostic measures
The diagnosis is performed using the following methods:
- Visual examination of the patient (genital testing in order to identify the skin rash and discharge from the urethra);
- Rectal review (determine the structure, consistency, pain and obtaining a secret prostate);
- Bacteriological review was smeared from the urethra;
- Laboratory review of blood and urine tests.
- In some cases, an ultrasound examination (ultrasound or echography) is prescribed to obtain more accurate diagnosis.
According to the changes in the echoity of individual locations, the degree of inflammatory process is determined, the Ehobillus Chronic Prostatitis is determined: increasing the size of the prostate, diffuse changes in its structure, the presence of pathological formations in tissues.
The most clearly expressed echographic characteristics are present during the transectal ultrasound.It is considered more informative and reliable than transabriments.
Signs of chronic prostatitis on ultrasound:
- Increasing the prostate volume over 20 cm3.
- Change the fabric structure (becomes heterogeneously)
- Presence of prostate swollenness.
- The presence of fibrosis and calculation in the prostate.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis
The treatment of this disease is time-consuming and extended process and should be strongly unfolded under the supervision of the doctor.
It is performed with complex methods using drugs:
- Antibiotics of various groups, depending on the statements of the diagnosis.Take 10-14 days (depending on the severity of the disease).
- Anti-apararnatory tablets, injections and rectal compositions reduce pain, reduction in inflammatory process;
- Immunomodulators to increase body protection forces and a positive effect on cell functioning.
- Alpha-blockers promote urine outflow, removing spasm and tension of bladder muscles and urethra.
In addition, it is recommended that the prostate massage (for improving the blood circulation and normalization of the functioning of the prostate), the use of physiotherapy procedures (electrophoresis, laser and magnetic therapy).
With proper treatment, the patient should have a complete remission (lack of symptoms of the disease for a longer period).
Preventive measures
Prostate Diseases Prevention Includes:
- Compliance with nutrition and drinking mode.
- Maintaining normal body weight.
- Regular physical education and sports.
- Increasing immunity.
- Strengthening the nervous system.
- Exclusion from the use of harmful food.
- Limitation of alcohol consumption and smoking rejection.
- Introduction of regular sexual activity;
- Timely treatment of inflammatory and infectious diseases;
- Exclusion of wearing a tight laundry.
- Avoiding hypothermia.
- Annual prevention reviews with urologist.
It should not be forgotten that chronic prostatitis is easier to prevent (observing some rules) than for many years to suffer from an unpleasant disease.
