Prostatitis in men

Prostatitis in men belongs to the andrological group (exclusively male), urogenital pathologies.The disease proceeds in the form of acute or chronic inflammation.This is the most common urological disease today.Previously it was believed that it was manifested only at the age of 45-65, now, more and more often the diagnosis of prostatitis, doctors make young people aged between 20 and 30.The disease was significantly "younger".

The nature of the damage to the prostate gland depends on the sexual gait of a person.

1. The defeat of the prostate gland in boys, up to their puberty, can be theoretically, but the inflammation of the unspecified gland is not considered an independent disease.
2. In men who lead an active sex life, prostatitis often proceeds as acute inflammation.
3. The pathology of the gland, in people of mature and elderly, can manifest itself in the form of three independent diseases (chronic prostatitis, adenoma - benign hyperplasia, adenocarcinoma - malignant hyperplasia).
4. In people of castration suffered (chemistry, physics, radiation), iron is atrophized.

Prostate iron (prostate) is the subordinate plate of the male genital area.It is located on the anastomic of the urethra and the vitors of the ducts.The value of the gland, before puberty, is little studied.A mature man has a prostate iron:

• It produces a secret that loses sperm, provides the profitability of sperm in the sexual routes of a woman;
• It produces prostaglandins, substances that contribute to the increase in blood to the penis before the start of an erection, together with the testicle, are involved in the production of the testosterone hormone;
• It provides quick evacuation (release) of sperm from the urethra and takes part in the formation of orgasm;
• Through reflected mechanisms, it prevents urine from entering sperm during sexual arousal, participates in a complex erection mechanism.

Prostate is a vulnerable organ for pathogens.It is inevitably involved in the pathology of the walls of the urethra, bladder and storms of the ducts.A powerful blood flow, the lymph, which circulates along a large vascular system of the damaged gland, causes the phenomena of stagnation, edema of the organ, aggravates the pathology.The iron is well innervated, the damage is accompanied by pain.

What men on prostatitis should know

Prostatitis is an inflammatory disease of the prostate gland (prostate), very often caused by an infectious agent who enters the prostate from the urethra, bladder and a close rectum.However, the infection itself does not mean the development of the disease, for this, as they say, a "favorable combination of circumstances" is required.

Which factors predispose prostatitis:

1. Long -term session work and sedentary lifestyle.The risk group includes drivers, programmers and all those who spend the working day without getting up from a chair for walking and lengthening.
2. Regular registration of the stool in the form of constipation.
3. Strong or repeated hypothermia of the entire body.
4. Excessively active sex life or prolonged abstinence.Both are not useful for the normal functioning of the prostate gland.
5. Ever of food, abuse of spicy foods and alcohol, constant stress.

The prostate is a very small organ of 3 and a width of 4 cm in length.It weighs only 20-25 grams.However, the secret of the prostate has bactericidal properties, therefore the inflammatory process in the gland can only develop if there is congestion in this organ, when its secret loses its properties.

How prostatitis is manifested in men

Distinguish the chronic and acute forms of prostatitis:

• The symptoms of acute prostatitis are characterized by severe inflammation in the prostate.In this case, the patient has strong heat (the body temperature rises to 38-39 degrees), pain in the groin and perineum, in painful urination and defecation.
• Chronic prostatitis less worries a man, so he may not pay attention to characteristic signs.The patient from time to time rises at a temperature of 37 degrees, sometimes it is worried about the unpleasant sensations when you go to the bathroom, a small mucus or pus is released from the urethra.This exhaust is one of the typical signs of chronic prostatitis.

Signs of prostatitis in men

Six signs (porter) of prostatitis - Dysuria syndrome are distinguished.Use as conditional clinical markers.However, the presence of two of the six symptoms: an occasion will turn to a urologist.

1. A flow of urine slopes down or its flow is less than 20 cm.
2. Difficult, fall, screaming.
3. Pain during urination.
4. Intermediate, bifurcation, spraying of the jet, duration of the process.
5. A feeling of non -complete emptying of the bladder.
6. Far urinization at night.

It is strictly forbidden to draw clinical conclusions when identifying these characteristics.Prostatitis has a complex pathogenesis, with the inclusion of various mechanisms in it.It is not possible to treat the disease, focusing on general clinical symptoms.Contact the urologist, to determine, the symptoms, the nature of the damage, the stage of the disease and the prescription of the treatment.The diagnosis and treatment are carried out taking into account the organs and systems involved in pathogenesis.In some cases, consultations of a venereologist, surgeon and oncologist are needed.

Symptoms of prostatitis in men

Prostatitis can occur in the form of acute and chronic inflammation.Acute forms develop from the type of catarrhal, follicular and parenchymal inflammation.Chronic prostatitis manifestations are associated with a concomitant disease.

Symptoms of prostatitis, detected by clinical methods and functional tests.The following symptoms are of the utmost importance to recognize the nature of the pathology, the causes and mechanisms of the body's protective reactions.

• I attend urination with prostatitis.In a healthy person, the maximum number of impulses to urination does not exceed 10-12 times a day, usually 4-5 times.The daily volume of urine in an adult of a healthy person is 1000-2000 ml.The volume of urine in which the impulse occurs is 120-170 ml, the accumulation of urine greater than 350 ml causes a strong desire to empty the bladder.The prostatitis inflammation products constantly irritate the receptors of the walls of the urinary bodies, following the urination:
• Frequent urination (pollakiuria), while daily urine has not increased;
• Ureation in small portions, inflammation products are provided to the false signals of the receptors on how to fill the bladder empty, after emptying, the feeling of its fullness remains;
• Painful urination (wandering), due to the narrowing of the urethra with an inflamed prostate;
• Difficulty urinating due to the compression of the urethral section with an inflamed gland, sometimes prostatitis is accompanied by the inability to empty the bladder (Ishuria);
• Ureation at night (Niccuria), the irritated walls of the bubble emit a constant signal for the production of urine.
• The temperature with prostatitis.A characteristic increase in body temperature at the subfibric and feverish value is characteristic.The high temperature accompanies purulent prostatitis in an initial phase of septic shock.In the advanced phase of the septic shock, on the contrary, a reduced temperature (hypothermia) is characteristic at 35-36 ° C. The low temperature is dangerous for a person due to the tendency of the blood platelets with widespread intravascular coagulation (dic-sindrome).The prognosis of prostatitis complicated by the sepsis, in the presence of internal combustion engine syndrome, is careful or unfavorable.
• Blood in the urine with prostatitis.The symptom of the hematuria (blood in the urine) is rare, but very dangerous, a sign.Persistent bleeding is difficult to stop.Different causes of hematuria are distinguished with prostatitis, including:
• Purulent fusion of the gland with a section of the blood vessel and the sampling of the ship in the urethra;
• accidental injuries during instrumental studies on parental organs;
• Prostatitis, complicated by hyperplasia, is more often malignant.
• Pain syndrome.Complicated compostitis is accompanied by pain outside the urination.Sometimes pain occurs periodically, for example, during defecation.The cause of pain is the constant irritation of the gland with inflammation products.Often note opaque (painful) pain in the perineum and in the anus.

Laboratory studies that confirm the symptoms of prostatitis.They are used to clarify the presence of inflammation, determine the severity of the inflammatory and septic process.

• General blood test.The indicators that confirm prostatitis are: an increase in the number of leukocytes, the movements of the leukogram in the direction of increasing the number of cells of the blood in rod, an increase in the ESR.
• Urine analysis.It reveals more hidden (pus in the urine) and bacteriuria (bacterial obstruction) in the first portion of urine.The three glasses method is used to identify PUS and bacteria hidden at the beginning, in the center or to the urination.More, with a frequency of several days, a bacteriological study of urine is conducted in order to determine a change in the species belonging to the bacterial flora.
• Blood sowing tank.The method is indicated for the symptoms of progressive sepsis, accompanied by a blurring fever (frenetic).
• The study of the cellular bond in immunity with prostatitis completes the idea of the nature of pathogenesis, to predict the probability of the development of sepsis.

Instrumental methods used to clarify the symptoms of prostatitis.The following methods have a diagnostic value.

• The transrettal method (through the rectum) of the ultrasounds (Truci).Its high diagnostic value.The method has contraindications associated with the ban on the gland massage in certain phases of the disease.
• X -Ray images with the bladder.Choose the convenient projections for prostate research.Before the image, a urographical is introduced into the bladder - an inert substance of radio control for the body.
• The biopsy of prostate puncture has strictly limited indications for prostatitis.

Causes of prostatitis in men

There are several groups of causes of prostatitis, including:

1. The complication of men (PPP infections, cold inflammation of the pelvic organs, complicated by the staphylococcal organs, other bacterial infections, viral and fungal agents, in particular against the background of the reduction of the immunity and general resistance of the body), chronic gynecological infections in a sexual partner.
2. Urethral reflux.Violation of the prostate capacity to prevent the inverse urine current, its ingestion is called urethral reflux.Consequently, the bacterial contamination of the prostate occurs.Urethral reflux - a consequence of improper catheterism, as well as inflammation previously adopted of the urethra.At the same time, urethraagia occurs: a pathological increase in urethra light.Reflux of semi -vesicle -Vesicul, bacterial contamination is combined with the formation of calculations (stones) in prostate and life imprisonment channels.
3. Violation of the rhythm of sexual activity, including the absence or excess of sex, the delay of regular ejaculation.
4. Stagnation of venous blood in the parental organs - urinary of the small basin of men - a consequence of a sedentary lifestyle (hemorrhoids, disorder of sexual life, other causes);
5. The hormonal imbalance associated with insufficient production of the sexual glands of male hormones, consequently, is a general weakening of the tone of the skeletal and smooth muscles, the violation of the erectile function and other disorders.

Classification of prostatitis

Distinguish between bacterial and non -bacterial prostatitis:

1. Bacterial prostatitis is caused by pathogenic microorganisms that enter the prostate gland from the outside.These include Streptococci, Stafilococci, E. Coli, Proteus and others.Many bacteria are the usual flora of our body, but in certain conditions they enter the prostate and cause an inflammatory process.Prostatitis can also develop following sexual diseases such as clamidia, ureaplasmosis, gardnellosis, tricomoniasis, gonorrhea, micoplasmosis.
2. The non -infectious prostatitis group includes:
• Congested prostatitis (stagnant).It is caused by stagnant phenomena in the pelvis.Incomplete ejaculation, sexual excesses, prolonged abstinence, interrupted interrupted - all this contributes to venous stagnation in the pelvic organs.
• Sclerotic prostatitis.It is characterized by a decrease in the size and functions of the prostate gland, the compaction of its tissues following the death of prostate cells with their replacement sclerotic tissue.One of the reasons for the development of this form of the disease is frequent constipation, which takes on some drugs, multiple infections.Unfortunately, this prostatitis should not be treated.
• Prostatitis Calculate.The result of the development of calculation prostatitis is the presence of phosphate stones and bone in the gland.Reaching large dimensions, they cause severe urethra pain.The treatment technique is to dissolve the stones formed.
• Prostatopathic prostatitis.This disease causes chronic pain in the pelvis, but its etiology has not been completely studied.It is believed that it can be caused by an inverse current of the secret, damage to the muscles of the perineum, pathology of the neck of the bladder and psychological factors.
• Atypical forms.In an atypical form, the patient can complain about the pain in the legs, the lower back and the sacred, which are unusual characteristic symptoms of prostatitis.The outcome of the treatment depends on the duration of the disease, on the activity of inflammatory processes, on the presence of complications of union.

If it does not engage in the treatment of prostatitis, then in a neglected form it leads to a decrease in power, infertility, depression, exhaustive pain in the perineum and other complications.

What is dangerous prostatitis, consequences of prostatitis

The consequences depend on age, on the state of the immune system, on the presence of bad habits.So in people of an advanced age group, with weakened immunity, with alcoholism, drug addiction and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, the consequences of the disease are more difficult.

• The effect of prostatitis on power.The damaged gland, with decompexes of functional activity, reduces the production of substances involved in the formation of an erection of the sexual organ of a man.The consequence of prostatitis is a slow emission of the seed fluid during sexual intercourse, a decrease in completeness of sensations during sexual intercourse, in advanced forms erectile dysfunction.
• The effect of prostatitis on conception.The damaged prostate strongly reduces the activity of the production of a quality secret necessary to maintain the activity of the sperm in the birth channel of a woman.The secret of the inflamed prostate gland, coming into sexual contact in the family paths of a woman reacts with the immune refusal of the female body, the development of gynecological diseases and the impossibility of conception.
• Prostatitis causes damage within the gland and body.The inflammation complicated by the microflora increases the risk of prostate abscess.ABSCSING - Purulent mission of the part of the parenchym of the gland with the formation of a capsule around the hearth.The disease with the formation of mineralized calculations in the cavity - a consequence of the prostate complicated by the prostate damaged by reflux.The consequence of prostatitis is also: acute Ishturia, urolithiasis, kidney failure, inflammation of the parenting organs and other diseases.

You can have sex with prostatitis

It has been shown that the diskitomy of intimate life is one of the causes of the inflammation of the gland.Regular ejaculation with moderate frequency positively affects prostatitis pathogenesis with subclinical and moderate clinical manifestations of prostatitis.Some therapeutic manipulations and phases of the disease suggest a temporary prohibition on sexual life.Detailed recommendations should be obtained by the attending physician.Make sex with prostatitis observes the moderation and safety of intimate life.

Is prostatitis sexually transmitted?Prostatitis is a purely masculine disease that does not have a specific viral, bacterial and fungal origin.In the meantime, the inflammation of the prostate is a danger to gynecological health.The seed fluid containing inflammation products, which falls into the female genital organs, between a decrease in the protective barriers of the birth channel - a real threat of conception and bringing the fetus.A healthy lifestyle and reliable means of male contraception are an easy way to protect sexual partners from mutual problems.

It is possible to recover from prostatitis once and for all

Most of those men who have undergone care by prostatitis are interested in a question - it is possible to get rid of this unpleasant illness forever.According to experts, the effectiveness of the treatment depends largely on the presence and seriousness of the irreversible consequences in the prostate.It can be scars, stones, calculates.

The further development of the inflammatory process can only be stopped in the early stages only in search of a doctor.In this case, irreversible complications are not developing in the prostate and there is the possibility of complete care.When the sections of the sclerotic tissue have already formed - stairs, there are calculated and small pebbles, which can no longer get rid, therefore, most likely, it can occur with -inflammation.This is chronic prostatitis.

In addition to the treatment, an important factor to overcome this disorder is also the way the patient is ready to change his previous lifestyle: irregular and constant sexual life sitting on a chair.If it does not want such changes, then with a great degree of trust we can say that the inflammatory process will soon return again.It is with the unpaid inamation of the patient to exclude these negative factors from his life and the idea that prostatitis is incurable.

The duration, the treatment regime is determined by the doctor based on the results of physics, laboratory and instrumental studies.At the center of prostatitis therapy, antibacterial drugs.The use of vitamins, physiotherapy procedures, anti -inflammatory, painkillers, antibiotics is shown.

Prostatitis diet

Compliance with the diet, the use of a certain series of products:

• reduces pain
• Improves the microcirculation of blood and lymph in the gland vases,
• strengthens the protective functions of the body,
• normalizes the work of the intestine,
• Reduces the urine at night.

Prostatitis products.Exclude from use:

1. Forte coffee, sharp dishes: improve blood flow to the gland, stimulate pain;
2. Fat, fatty meat, eggs, flour: improve the deposition of cholesterol on the walls of the capillaries, reduces the microcirculation of the blood flow in the gland;
3. Alcohol: reduce immunity;
4. Products containing coarse fibers, salty and spicy products - changes intestinal motility;
5. A large amount of liquids (in the evening), salted and smoked products (during the period of the disease) - increase the volume of the fluids, delay it in the body.

It is recommended to include in the diet: salads of plants seasoned with olive oil, vegetables and fruit grown in the region of residence, natural juices, nuts, dried fruit, low fat meat.A series of prostatitis products can be clarified by a nutritionist doctor.

Preventive measures

Prevention is based on simple rules, to conform to them it is simple.

• Take a big step regularly (this walking style is more physiological);
• Eat correctly, guides a healthy lifestyle;
• Use the contraceptive of men.

To avoid the development of prostatitis and its complications, with any genital disorder, it is necessary to immediately contact the urologist.Furthermore, it is not necessary to wait until symptoms appear, and at least once a year you seem to the doctor himself.In a medical institution you will suffer, examination and you will know with certainty that your health in the genital sphere is fine.

Do not delay the visit of the urologist and those who suffer from constipation, alcohol abuse, spicy and smoked food, those who do not actively practice sports and who had a history of sexual transmission diseases.Due to the high risk of the disease, these people should undergo a mandatory examination, even if there is no testimony for this.

As you know, men are not lovers who walk for doctors and when there is already unbearable, it turns out that the disease has followed a chronic path.But the course of the treatment could be approved much earlier.Now, with chronic prostatitis, you will have to be treated at least 1-2 months.
