Male prostatitis

Prostatitis is an inflammatory process that affects prostate tissue.This is one of the most common diseases in urologist practice.The disease is mainly diagnosed in men aged 25-30, but by age, the risk of pathology is significantly increased.

This form distinguishes acute and chronic prostatitis.In the latter case, inflammation is characterized by prolonged periodic recurrence.This is more common than acute.

Causes of prostatitis

Many prostate diseases, such as benign hyperplasia or tumor pathology, are problems in the elderly group.However, prostatitis does not fall into this category.Usually, its symptoms occur in men aged 30-50.In most cases, the cause is infectious lesions caused by the penetration of pathogenic bacteria from the glands of the urogenital duct or genital system.This is explained by the proximity of the urethra and anal position.

Among the most common pathogens of bacterial (infectious) prostatitis, it should be noted: Gram-negative organisms: pseudo-end stage, enterococc, entero, serrated, enterococc, enterococcal and Pro.Typically, the inflammatory process develops in the context of IPP infection: chlamydia, gonococcal, caterpillar, herpesvirus, etc., which usually diagnose the form of this disease in men under the age of 35.Cases of treatment pathology in the context of Mycobacterium tuberculosis are extremely rare.

There are also differences in atomized variants of prostatitis.One of their main reasons:

  • Increased pressure on the prostate;
  • autoimmune disease (antibodies destroy prostate cells);
  • Muscle pain syndrome in the pelvic area;
  • Psychological and emotional disorders;
  • Inadequate sports activities;
  • Excessive physical stress.

The main signs of prostatitis

A person with signs of prostatitis

The disease is accompanied by a series of invasions that can affect the workings of the entire urine system.The main symptoms include:

  • Urine is not controlled;
  • Discomfort, pain of bladder emptying;
  • dysfunction of male reproductive age;
  • Perineal pain, living in a sitting position for a long time;
  • Frequent and intense urination;
  • Difficulty in bladder destruction;
  • Reduced sexual desire and problems with erection;
  • Violation of reproductive function (infertility);
  • After going to the toilet, the bladder caused an incomplete damage;
  • Even if you are excited, you cannot achieve high-quality and lasting erections.

Signs of acute prostatitis

The symptoms of acute forms of disease, and the general clinical situation varies depending on the stage of the pathological process:

  • Qatar.The patient complains about rapid impulses, soreness during urination, pain in the perineum and bones.
  • Leaf surface.Pain syndrome becomes intense and can succumb to the anus and exacerbate during bowel movements.The urine releases a thin stream.In some cases, its delay occurs.Body temperature rises up to 38 degrees for a long time (fiberite) or moderate temperature.
  • substance.The man began to get drunk with the body in general, cold and temperatures up to 38-40°C.The behavior of defecation is difficult, and normal emptying of the bladder is impossible, so acute delay in urination (urination).

Symptoms of chronic prostatitis

The chronic form of prostatitis may be the result of lack of or untimely treatment in the acute stage.However, in many men, it develops immediately and is characterized by the symptoms of "lubricating".Among the main features are:

  • sub-release temperature (occasionally);
  • Weak perineal pain;
  • Discomfort during urination;
  • Discharged from the urogenital tube during defecation.

Usually, the clinical situation changes over time, the intensity varies from patient to patient and may become a hidden form when trying to self-assess.Symptoms of chronic illness can be burning sensations on the urethra, perineal pressure, rehearsals, impaired sexual function and general increased fatigue.In the context of efficacy issues, mental depression, irritability and anxiety.Fear of yang ot can lead to the development of the complex, but at the same time, most men tend to delay their attraction to urologists due to their sense of shame.

Primary chronic prostatitis develops for a long time.Blood stagnation in capillaries (prostate disease) causes the initial stage of nonbacterial inflammation, which leads to the onset of the disease.

With infectious diseases, the cause of the disease is a chronic inflammatory process that is in the context of infection, urea, urea, chlamydia or gonococci infection.Primary infection masks the signs of prostatitis, and its treatment does not eliminate inflammation in the prostate.For a man, the addition of accompanying problems is usually still inconspicuous.

Let's consider the three main symptoms of chronic prostatitis in detail:

  • Urination disorder (urination).Inflammation increases the volume of the prostate, which causes ureteral compression.As the lumen decreases, frequent urges of urine appear, and the feeling of not completely destroying the bladder.Many men's brain diseases occur in the early stages of prostatitis.Compensation mechanisms during this period are reflected in hypertrophy of the bladder and ureteral muscles, thus reducing the symptoms of instability, but they grow again as inflammation develops.
  • Pain syndrome.There is no pain receptor in the prostate fabric.Pain occurs when the inflammation process spreads to other pelvic organs and their nerve paths.Feelings range from weak and soreness to very strong, which can interfere with night breaks.Intensify discomfort during ejaculation, sexual abstinence or excessive sexual activity.the, the bone, ac bone, scrotum, sometimes brings pain to the belt.
  • Violation of effectiveness.Lack of treatment for early stages of prostatitis can lead to controversy when a person frequently undergoes nighttime erections, orgasms, and the quality of accelerated ejaculation worsens.In different patients, the intensity of these signs varies.Premature ejaculation occurs due to a reduced threshold of organic center excitation.At the same time, the patient noticed pain, which led to the development of pain expectations and the progressive rejection of sexual activity.Sexual disorders are increasingly worsening in the absence of comprehensive treatment in the study of mental factors of the disease.Ignoring the need to seek medical help for prostatitis usually ends with a positive attitude.

The degree of sexual disorder depends on personal factors.Some men are so afraid of erectile dysfunction that they are in violations due to suggestions rather than objective physiological factors.In particular, mental manifestations allow precise observation of the complex of anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder.People have a difficult time to tolerating the idea of possible male health disorders.This is largely reflected in their personalities and communication with others.Irritability, cartilage, resentment and depression occur.

Complications of prostatitis

Lack of adequate treatment for prostatitis can lead to related diseases.The fact is that the prostate is closely related to other organs of the male genital system.It is located on the neck of the bladder and urethra.Therefore, as the prostate increases, the urethra is squeezed and violates the normal outflow of urine.Given physiological characteristics and after inappropriate treatment of acute or chronic prostatitis, many serious pathology and complications can occur.

Related questions:

  • cyst, formation of the prostate;
  • The amount of androgen produced is reduced;
  • Reduced sexual desire (Libido);
  • Erectile dysfunction (erectile dysfunction);
  • infertility (in 40% of patients with chronic prostatitis);
  • prostate adenoma (benign tumor);
  • Prostate cancer.

Some of the consequences of prostate inflammation that has not been treated promptly and complexly is not only a threat to health, but also to the lives of patients (especially the possible development of cancer pathology).So first, the symptoms of prostatitis are you must seek consultation with your urologist.Regular preventive tests should also be remembered when the risk of pathological processes in the current state increases significantly after 40 years.

Diagnosis of prostatitis

Many urological problems have similar signs, so experts work separately from each clinical case and use all available diagnostic tools.Urologist consultation always starts with symptom investigations, collection of blood resections and general examinations.The doctor then prescribed many studies, and the results were diagnosed and sufficient treatments were selected.Typically, survey complexes include:

  • Rectal finger examination of the prostate to determine the size, structure and urethral compression level;
  • Ultrasound of the urine system (prostate, bladder, kidney);
  • Laboratory analysis of urine, secrets of prostate, ejaculation;
  • Test for urogenital infection;
  • Urodynamic study.

To ensure accurate diagnosis of prostatitis in men and related diseases, you need to avoid urination within 2-3 hours before taking the urologist.Otherwise, the results of the test may not be completely correct, as pathogenic bacteria can occur when the bladder is empty.According to the characteristics of the clinical picture, the method of ultrasound was selected: transrectal or abdomen (through the abdominal wall).After determining the cause and stage of the disease, the development of treatment strategies was developed.

Treatment of prostatitis

The main treatment is antibiotic intake.Although it is impossible to completely eliminate the risk of recurrence, the use of modern pharmacological developments can lead to high results.Doctors prescribe an antibacterial drug after Bakposev's urine and/or prostate secret.If acute prostatitis is diagnosed, oral antibiotic therapy takes about 4-6 weeks.In chronic or recurrent forms of the disease, treatment will take more time (based on the characteristics of the clinical situation).In severe cases (usually with acute bacterial prostatitis), hospitalization and intravenous antibiotic course are required.

Difficulty in urination, urologists have prescribed drugs to alleviate hypertonicity of the bladder and prostate muscles, which causes urine to flow out and prevents it from stagnation.Some patients are receiving medications that lower sex hormone levels.As a result, the size of the prostate is reduced, thus discomfort during urination, bowel movement and ejaculation.Severe edema of muscle relaxants helps relieve overtreatment of the bladder sphincter and adjacent muscles.Anti-inflammatory nonsteroidal drugs effectively fight pain syndrome.In addition, chronic prostatitis responds well to auxiliary physical therapy.The effective method of this treatment is:

  • Insert drugs in the urethra;
  • Prostate massage;
  • Shockwave Therapy (UVT);
  • Magnetic laser therapy (MLT);
  • Electrophoresis;
  • ozone therapy;
  • Blood venous laser irradiation (VLOK);
  • Ultraviolet radiation from the blood (UFOK).

Prostate massage is a commonly used urology technique.Doctors use fingers to stimulate the prostate through rectum to enhance secretion outflow and restore the smoothness of the organ ducts.Another effect is to improve blood circulation and accelerate the penetration of antibiotics into inflamed tissue.In addition to finger massage of the prostate, hardware methods are also possible.Shockwave therapy shows the results of eye treatment for prostatitis.The basis of this medical technology is the short-term effect of low-frequency sound waves on the inflamed areas.The process helps:

  • Activate local blood circulation and growth of new blood vessels;
  • Stimulate your body's ability to regenerate;
  • Destroy fiber foci and calcifiers that cause pain and inflammation.

During UVT, symptoms of prostatitis and good preventive effects were observed.Only through an integrated approach to the problem can obvious results be achieved.Furthermore, the patient’s responsible attitude towards medical appointments is important.

For urologists in the clinic, individual treatment options are provided to consider the cause, form, general health status, and the presence of concomitant pathology.

Prevent prostatitis

To minimize the risk of relapse, it is necessary to reduce the negative impact on the body.Among the causes, there are:

  • Smoking.The anatomical features of the prostate arrangement lead to persistent oxygen starvation, and inhalation of tobacco smoke can cause vasospasm, which slows down the local microcirculation process.All experienced smokers are characterized by increased blood pressure.
  • Inadequate sports activities."Sitting" work and long-sitting lifestyle cause pelvic organs to stagnate.
  • alcoholism.Exceeding the daily norms of alcohol can affect overall health, making the body more susceptible to various infectious lesions.
  • Stressed state.It is necessary to avoid the maximum extent of anxiety, stimulation, depression.If necessary, please contact a profile expert.
  • Low temperature.The effects of low temperatures reduce immunity, which makes the body "open" to catch colds and inflammation.
  • Excessive work and excessive physical exercise.We should not forget the regime of work and rest and the severity of weightlifting.

Preventive measures will help prevent the development of acute prostatitis and chronic recurrence.For diagnosis and treatment of prostatitis, you can always contact the Urology department of our clinic.
