Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland, which is called prostate. Prostate iron is a secondary part of male reproductive organs. It is located under the bladder around the neck. The fact is that the urethra passes through the prostate, that is, the prostate is located around the urinary tube. As a result, with an increase in the prostate, a channel is crushed, which shows urine, which interferes with the passage of the urine.
In men over 35 years, the prostate often increases. This is a typical phenomenon. Most of the diseases in men over 50 years is only a consequence of the violation of the parental parent system, that is, due to the inflammation of the prostate gland. It should be remembered that more prostate iron, more urine will be blocked, so the body will be more strongly poisoned with this urine.
The causes of prostatitis
The causes of prostatitis are distinguished as follows:
- The main cause of prostatitis is a violation of blood circulation, which leads to an increase in 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 obtain due to gonorrhea or urethritis, less often due to complications of tonsillitis, influence, tuberculosis.
- The inflammation of a bacterial prostate begins when the infectious counterparties entered the prostate gland through blood, the sap, during the unprotected relationship, in other words through the biological fluids of the body. Various microorganisms that are constantly present on the skin of a person, or even in the organs of the abdominal cavity, such as the intestine, under certain conditions, can cause the development of the disease.
- The lesions of organs and soft tissues of the pelvis, the violation of their circulatory are often the cause of prostatitis. As a rule, above all this applies to drivers whose work is associated with professional damage: constant vibrations, shaking, increased load on the perineum muscles.
Signs of prostatitis
Signs of acute prostatitis are an increase in body temperature and rapid urination, which is accompanied by a hard and weak pressure. In addition, the signs of prostatitis are the combustion of the perineum and the pain in the rectum during defecation. In the phase of purulent inflammation, the probable spontaneous opening of the abscess and the expiry of the pus from the urethra or the rectum.
A sign of chronic prostatitis is burning in the urethra and perineum, the release of PUS at the end of the defecation or urination deed, increase in the effectiveness and irritability of the body.
It is very dangerous with the prostatitis of urination of difficulty, which, in the absence of timely treatment, can lead to acute urinary retention.
If we talk about not even specialist manifestations, in most cases patients notice a transparent or sometimes purulent discharge from the urethra, particularly evident in the morning and in the presence of white flakes and threads in the urine.
Symptoms of prostatitis
Acute form. Like many diseases, prostatitis is divided into acute and chronic. General symptoms are characteristic of the manifestation of an acute form of the disease.
- The patient develops general weakness, of course malaise
- Often accompanied by an increase in body temperature, headache
- As a rule, the pain in the perineum has a pronounced character, covers the inguinal region and intensifies during urination or defecation.
- The sensation of frequent impulse to the bathroom that does not bring relief due to the emptying not completed by the bladder leads to greater irritability and nervous excitability of patients. In serious cases, acute urinary retention develops.
Chronic form. Unlike the acute form, the chronic form of prostatitis has an asymptomatic path and proceeds in a latency way (i. e. without characteristics pronounced characteristics). The clinical picture is often erased, with mild symptoms, patients do not pay due discoveries of adequate attention and do not consider the need to seek medical help, confusing symptoms of prostatitis with prostate adenoma, 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 general well -being, the problems with the power and nervous disorders of men are deleted on fatigue and lack of rest, that is, a person simply does not want to realize that he is sick and needs care. An important role in the timely detection of this disease are the preventive exams every year that allow to establish a diagnosis in the early stages.
The chronic form of prostate inflammation is expressed in slight pain in the perineum, in the pubic area and the groin, which pass quickly. As a rule, the duration of sexual intercourse changes, both towards the elongation, and vice versa and the brightness of the sexual sensations. The discharges appear from the urethra, especially in the morning, or the white bows are visible in the urine with the naked eye.
Diagnosis of prostatitis
The identification of prostatitis is engaged in a urologist. Diagnosis of the fact of the damage to the prostate gland. Based on the symptoms of the disease, the doctor can already determine the stage of his development during the first trick. Make sure you are prescribed to the ultrasound of a prostate man.
Possible diagnostic measures:
- Palpation of the prostate gland during the initial exam.
- The fence of a strip from the urethra. The result is sent for a bacteriological examination.
- Yield of urine for analysis.
- Evaluation of the level of PSA. It is a prostate gland protein.
If the data obtained is not enough to make a diagnosis, the patient is placed in the hospital and in his condition a urodynamic exam is carried out.
Cystoscopy is a method for diagnosing prostate diseases, during which the doctor can perform some therapeutic manipulations. However, they rarely resort to him.
Treatment of acute and chronic prostatitis
Although a disease like prostatitis is long and is widely used among men of various ages, it is quite difficult to treat.
While with the acute prostatitis therapy of difficulty, as a rule, there is not always chronic correction prostatitis is not always lent. In addition, on how it is necessary to treat chronic inflammation of the prostate gland in scientists have many points of view.
However, the following points did not disagree:
- The effectiveness of therapy depends directly on its timely beginning.
- Therapy must be carried out overall, while all the characteristics of the health of a particular patient must be taken into consideration. It is extremely important to calculate the reason that led to the development of the pathology.
- The autonomous diagnosis and the car -medion are severely prohibited.
Treatment of acute bacterial prostatitis
The treatment of acute bacterial prostatitis depends directly on how expressed the symptoms of the disease. Sometimes the patient's condition is extremely serious, which often occurs when the body is drunk.
The disease manifests itself acutely, body temperature increases sharply, chills appear, pain in the pelvis, in the lower part of the back, perineum. It is possible to combine nausea and vomiting, a violation of the bladder emptying process with acute pain, a burning sensation, etc. This condition is dangerous with its complications. It is possible to join the bacterial infection, the development of the abscess of the prostate gland. Very often, complications arise against the background of existing chronic diseases, for example in the presence of diabetes.
If the disease is acute, the man must be hospitalized, in the Urological Profile Department. If this is not possible, the patient is determined in the general surgical department.
There is a general treatment tactic for conducting patients with acute prostatitis:
- Compliance with bed rest.
- The appointment of antibacterial drugs.
- A prohibition of prostate massage also in order to obtain a secret of the prostate. The ban is due to a high risk of sepsis.
- The appointment of drugs aimed to normalize blood microcirculation, to increase its fluidity and viscosity. Due to the effect of these drugs, it is possible to obtain a flow of sap and venous blood with an inflamed gland, reduce toxic manifestations and remove the decay products from the body.
- October reception of fans. They are prescribed to reduce pain.
- Other analgesics can be used. In addition to reducing pain, these drugs eliminate inflammation to a certain extent. In their practice, urologists and andrologists use rectal candles widely to have an analgesic effect to reduce inflammation. They include the same components of the drugs for tablets, but thanks to the local administration, the effect has improved. You can use prostatitis candles with propolis.
- If the patient suffers from serious body intoxication, the introduction of regological solutions, as well as detoxification and electrolytes agents, a potassium chloride solution with the addition of glucose.
Surgery is necessary if the possibility of independent bladder emptying is completely absent or an abscess of prostate has been formed.
The use of antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial prostatitis is mandatory. If the disease begins acutely, there are symptoms of intoxication, antibacterial drugs are prescribed as quickly as possible, waiting for the results of the tests for the bacterial flora in this case is inappropriate and dangerous.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis
Chronic prostatitis therapy depends directly on the stadium that the disease is found. If the disease aggravates, the treatment is similar to treatment with acute bacterial prostatitis.
Offer the following patients' tactics:
- Receipt of the fans' course.
- The appointment of funds aimed at normalizing the outflow of the lymph and to improve the microcirculation of the blood in the body.
- Immunomodulant preparations.
- To eliminate problems with erection, the use of antidepressants and sedatives is shown.
- To strengthen the pelvic muscles, regular physical activity helps to normalize blood circulation. It is better if it is a specially compiled complex of physiotherapy exercises. Physiotherapeutic procedures have a good effect rectal electrophoresis, transrectal microwave hyperthermia, uhf, magnetic laser therapy, etc. These procedures help to get rid of pelvic pain syndrome.
Complications of prostatitis and consequences
Prostatitis is a serious disease associated with a series of complications. Sometimes you can get rid of them, sometimes they are irreversible. Therefore, with the first manifestations of the disease, it is necessary to contact a specialist.
Therefore, with prostatitis, testicles and appendages they can inflame themselves. If you do not eliminate the pathological reaction of the body over time, that is, the probability of developing the abscess, in which the organ will begin to rot.
Prevention measures
The chronic prostatitis prevention measures mainly aim to prevent its exacerbation. In the event that this has already happened, the inflammation must be removed as soon as possible.
To minimize the risk of recurrence, it is necessary to completely refuse or minimize the effect of the following negative factors:
- Alcohol consumption. This does not mean that it is necessary to abandon it, but it is necessary to limit yourself. Nobody prohibits a glass of red wine, but you shouldn't drink an entire bottle.
- Smoke. The prostate gland is the organ that constantly experiences oxygen hunger due to poor blood supply. With the inhalation of tobacco smoke, the blood vessels are spasm and the microcirculation of the blood is even more disturbed. In addition, all smokers will suffer sooner or later of hypertension.
- Lack of movement. You have to force yourself to detach yourself from the sofa and start moving.
- Stress. You should learn to remove the entire negativity from the head that was received during the day. In this case, the family will be the best antidepressant. The weekend spent next to relatives will replace all sedatives.
- Hypothermia, cold. These negative factors directly influence the prostate gland. If there is a car, you should make sure the seats are heated.
- Physical overload is no less dangerous than the lack of movement. Do not lift weights if the body is not prepared for this.
There are also several recommendations that will strengthen male health:
- Physical activity. At least 10 minutes in the morning should be dedicated to the execution of the charging. In this case, it is not necessary to include heavy exercises in training. Let it be just a slight gymnastics that allows you to disperse stagnant blood. The same rule is relevant with the session work.
- A contrast shower is also an excellent means of improving his well -being. It is very effective to take it before sexual intercourse. In addition, exposure to water is important both on the whole body and on the prostate. It is useful in this sense to visit the bathroom. But you shouldn't immediately leave the Turkish bath with frozen water - this will only cause damage.
- As for food, it is necessary to include raw pumpkin seeds, honey, garlic, plums, parsley, nuts in your diet.
- It is necessary to refuse the products in brine, in particular this is true for various sauces with the addition of vinegar: mayonnaise, ketchup, salty, marinated, etc.
- Sex life should be established. Incomplete sexual acts, unrealized erections are very harmful. It is better to get rid of the old secret than for a long time to be treated by stagnant prostatitis.
