Prostatitis is the inflammation of the prostate gland, an organ that is so important to the male body that it is not called "the second heart of a person" for no reason.
This gland has the shape of an unspoken cylinder under the bladder.The mouth of the bladder and (partially) urethra pass through the roller of the gland.Structurally, prostate iron consists of tube-alveolar glands connected to the muscle tissue.
Purpose of the prostate gland:
- Production of secretion fluid required for liquefaction, safety and transportation of sperm,
- Regulation of the urination process.
There are two types of prostatitis - acute and chronic, and chronic prostatitis accounts for 95% of the total number of prostatitis.
Foracute prostatitisAll signs of a feverish state are characterized by:
- frequent painful urination;
- painful urination;
- painful emptying;
- increased sweating;
- elevated temperature and feverish condition;
- the state of apathy and drowsiness;
- feeling of fatigue and general weakness;
- Reducing efficiency.
Chronic prostatitisMuch more misleading: by creating destructive work, you can't find its presence in the prostate gland.As a general rule, in the case of chronic prostatitis, the urgency for night urination is typical (in this sense - from bed in the middle of the night, to the toilet visit), and a feeling of discomfort in the groin.Unfortunately, few men attribute the importance of these symptoms.
Each of the above symptoms can be observed at the same time, but selectively (only a few symptoms);There are situations where one does not correlate these symptoms with the disease of the genitourinar sphere, but explains malaise with emotional and fatigue.
Unfortunately, the health of the prostate gland is very fragile.As the medical statistics show, this iron is very easily ignited.It is almost impossible to draw a reason that certainly does not provoke inflammation of the prostate gland.
Causes of prostatitis
- penetration of infection;This may be an infection thrown from an adjacent organ (for example, an inflammatory process in the urethra, bladder, testicles, appendices) or a very distant - from inflamed glands (tonsillitis), ears (otitis medium), teeth.
The causal agents of the infection can be a wide range of bacteria and viruses, as well as a wide range of pathogenic fungi and viruses.
- The aggravation of stagnant processes is both prostate and humans in general, that is, without the carrier of inflammation of the inflammation.
In the genitourinary sphere, stagnation is a common phenomenon.This means that people have problems with the right lifestyle and are generally caused by a lifestyle, and are so related that prestigious scientists say that in our age, the scale and the ability to do all are the obligations of civilization benefits.In addition, prostatitis lies in waiting for those who are overly active from sexual terms and those who live an ascetic lifestyle.
It is definitely possible to predict the appearance of prostatitis in men leading random sex life, even if the obstacle is followed by contraception.
Who is in danger?
Prostate health enemies include overweight, alcohol, smoking, wearing inadequate clothing (crowded, synthetic or non -season), hypothermia, frequent shipping excursions (for any transport, but especially on cars and motorcycles), and this does not matter to which quality or passenger.Men who are forced to be forced on frequent excursions are exposed to the dual danger of prostatitis: due to continuous tremors, and because it is impossible to empty the bladder and intestines during the first calls.
As a result of shaking, prostatitis has become so common that doctors called it the second coming of Scythian disease ("Scythian disease" - prostatitis from riding).With continuous shaking, Perineum microtrauma, which has a cumulative effect, and as a result is problems that are once characteristic of serious injury.
The consequences of prostatitis
Complications of prostatitis: this is impotence and infertility, prostate adenoma, prostate sclerosis (death of the gland), prostate cystsAnd many other diseases.To date, medicine has accumulated sufficient examples to prove mutual conditioningProstatitis and prostate cancer.
The awesome scale of prostatitis does not mean the meaning of hopelessness before this very misleading disease.They only talk about the underdevelopment of the culture of visiting doctors.According to statistics, 90 % of patients with physicians develop prostatitis and few patients who have been diagnosed with the initial stage of the disease.
It is true that doctors have recently talked about small but distinguished positive movements in this area - the number of patients with preventive purposes has increased.As a general rule, these are young men who have the so -called active life position.The doctors community welcomes this business in every possible way.
Diagnosis of prostatitis
Determine that prostatitis is only half of the battle.The most important thing is to find the reason that caused this.To do this, he allegedly performs a diagnostic examination.
A patient who is in contact with a clinic on the diagnosis of prostatitis is offered:
- PCR for sexual infections,
- Ultrasound and truster prostate, bladder and seed bubbles,
- Microscopy of prostate gland secretion,
- Sowing of prostate secretion to determine the pathogen of the infection (this is required to determine the sensitivity of antibiotics and to select the appropriate antibiotic),
- Different urine tests,
- spermogram;
- Palpation of the prostate.
All of these tests are needed to choose the treatment, otherwise it will be symptomatic (it is only aimed at removing the symptoms of pain without affecting treatment alone).
Treatment of acute prostatitis and treatment of chronic prostatitis show significant differences.
Treatment of prostatitis
Treatment of acute prostatitis is usually complex and may include:
- antibacterial therapy,
- Anti -inflammatory therapy,
- laser treatment,
- Prostate massage.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis is always individual and depends on the history of the patient (type of prostatitis) and the unique characteristics of the patient.
The most common type of prostatitis is bacterial prostatitis.Antibiotics are prescribed for treatment, taking into account the sensitivity of the microbes that cause them.
In order to make the treatment as efficient as possible, atibacterial therapy is combined with laser therapy, prostate massage, and anti -inflammatory and general reinforcing therapy.
Prostate massage is needed to empty the prostate from the prostate, which is always there, with inflammation of the prostate.
In chronic prostatitis, taking antibiotics as a single form of treatment is ineffective;A combination of other methods is required.
After treatment, the ultrasound of the prostate control and the control analysis of the prostate secretion are necessarily performed.
The prediction of the treatment of prostatitis is favorable (the prognosis of the treatment of prostatitis at an early stage) is successful).
