Prostatitis

Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate, which is quite common these days.

The prostate is a male organism and therefore the disease is also purely male.

Why do you need a protector? The prostate gland is responsible for the following functions:

• produces a liquid part of the sperm with the muscles of the bladder neck.
• produces an internal clamp;
• forms testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.

The prostate gland or simply the prostate is located below the bladder, the urethra passes through the prostate and therefore the prostate is located around the urethra. And as the prostate swells during inflammation, it compresses the urinary tract and makes it difficult to urinate. Men over forty often suffer from prostatitis, this is a consequence of urinary tract dysfunction.

Factors that cause the development of prostatitis:

• hypothermia?
• infectious diseases;
• use of alcohol and tobacco;
• trauma and hormonal disorders
• sedentary work
• urinary retention.

Prostatitis is divided into several types:

1. Acute bacterial prostatitis: occurs during damage to prostate tissues with Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, etc.
2. A large number of these bacteria are representatives of a healthy microflora and live on our skin and in the stomach, but entering the tissues of the prostate, they cause inflammation. The main symptoms of acute bacterial prostatitis are nausea and pain in the groin and lower back, frequent trips to the toilet and pain when urinating, intoxication of the body and reduced quality of erection, blood marks in the urine.
3. Chronic bacterial prostatitis: occurs due to injuries of the urinary system or the presence of infections in the organs.
4. The symptoms of chronic prostatitis are manifested as pain during urination and frequent pushing, inguinal discomfort, presence of blood in the semen, increase in body temperature by 0. 5 - 1 degrees Celsius.

Chronic bacterial prostatitis occurs due to the lifting of heavy objects with a full bladder, resulting in urine entering the prostate, pelvic floor muscle spasms, thus - increased pressure on the prostate, injury. The symptoms are also pain when urinating and only with laboratory tests can an infectious difference be detected.

Chronic prostatitis

Chronic prostatitis is a dangerous disease that, unlike prostatitis, brings with it a series of vague questions. What is chronic prostatitis? Chronic prostatitis is the presence of inflammation in the prostate gland, which is characterized by various tissue changes and functional disorders of the prostate, the activity of the male reproductive system. Chronic prostatitis is one of the first diseases of the male reproductive system. The classification of chronic prostatitis is divided into several subtypes:

• acute bacterial prostatitis
• chronic bacterial prostatitis
• chronic bacterial prostatitis
• inflammatory prostatitis with an increase in leukocytes in prostate secretions.
• non-inflammatory process without leukocyte growth.
• asymptomatic prostate inflammation, which is detected accidentally.

An infection caused by neurocerebral disorders causes and causes the development of chronic prostatitis. Hemodynamic disorders cause a decrease in immunity through autoimmune and biochemical processes. Factors in the development of chronic prostatitis are lifestyle characteristics that cause urinary tract infection, frequent hypothermia and sedentary work, irregular sex life or the constant presence of a urethral catheter are also dangerous. Also, important and dangerous etiological factors of the disease will be disorders of the immune system, cytokines, bacteria of low molecular weight polypeptide nature, which affect the functional activity of immune cells.

One of the main reasons for the development of non-inflammatory forms of chronic prostatitis is the dysfunction of the pelvic floor.

Chronic symptoms of prostatitis

Signs Chronic prostatitisare pain and discomfort, urinary dysfunction and sexual dysfunction. The presence of pain in the pelvic area, perineum and groin. Pain is often seen in the anus and scrotum. Sex life is interrupted and libido is also reduced, but these signs are not seen in all patients. Chronic prostatitis is interchangeable in nature, the symptoms worsen and then subside. In general, the symptoms of chronic prostatitis are similar to the stages of the inflammatory process. Pain in the scrotum and groin is characteristic of the exudative stage, as well as frequent urination, accelerated sperm ejaculation and painful erections. The alternative stage is characterized by pain in the supraorbital region, normal urination and with accelerated sperm eruption, no pain is observed during erections. In the proliferative stage, we can also see increased urination and the ejaculation process is slightly delayed. In the stage of prostate sclerosis, in addition to cystic changes, the patient has pain in the supraorbital region, frequent urination and ejaculation of the sperm is slowed down or completely absent. We must also keep in mind that the stages and disorders described above do not always occur and not for everyone.

For the diagnosis of chronic prostatitis, since very often the disease is asymptomatic, a series of tests and laboratory tests will help. Examination is also important to help the doctor identify the severity of symptoms, pain, and urinary disorders. Laboratory examination of chronic prostatitis helps diagnose chronic prostatitis and possible infection of the prostate with atypical bacterial and fungal flora and viruses. If there is no bacterial growth in the secretions of the prostate with an increased number of leukocytes, it is necessary to analyze for chlamydia. Microscopic examination helps to reveal the number of leukocytes and mucus, Trichomonas and epithelium during urethral secretion. The secretion obtained after prostate massage is taken for bacteriological examination and, according to its results, the nature of the disease is determined. It is also important to perform an immunological study, the results of which help determine the stage of the disease and monitor the effect of treatment. The organic study of chronic prostatitis helps to determine the stage and form of the disease with further observation throughout the treatment. Ultrasound examination allows the study of the size and volume of the prostate, the structure of the bladder and the sclerotic changes in the organ, the degree of expansion and the density of the contents of the seminal vesicles. Muscle and pelvic floor myography plus information on suspected neurogenic urinary disorders. An X-ray study is performed to determine the cause of the onset and the course of further treatment of chronic prostatitis. Computed tomography of the pelvic organs is performed in order to exclude pathological changes in the spine and pelvic organs. Diagnostics as a way of excluding a disease that is not suitable for symptoms help to determine the nature of the pathological process: with inflammatory processes in other organs. with diseases of the rectum. with sexual dysfunction. with neuropsychiatric disorders, for example, depression or reflex sympathetic dystrophy.

Chronic treatment of prostatitis

Treatment of chronic prostatitis must be consistent and comprehensive. First, it is necessary to change the patient's usual way of life and thinking. Also eliminate the effect of harmful factors such as smoking and alcohol consumption, hypothermia. Thus, we stop the further development of the disease and soon cause recovery. Even in the preparatory stage of treatment, diet and sexuality play an important role. The next major lesson in treating the disease is drug use. Such a correct approach to the treatment of chronic prostatitis will not only help fight the disease, but will also increase the effectiveness of treatment at each stage of prostatitis development. Chronic prostatitis generally does not require hospitalization, but in severe cases of chronic prostatitis, treatment in inpatients is more beneficial and more effective than treatment in outpatients. Drug treatment leads to good blood circulation to the pelvic organs, brings hormones and the immune system to normal levels. In such cases, antibacterial drugs and immunomodulators, vasodilators and prostate massage are used. Antibacterial drug use is the basis for the treatment of chronic prostatitis. Unfortunately, this treatment has been shown to be effective, but not for all types of prostatitis. In chronic bacterial prostatitis, antibacterial therapy is effective; in chronic bacterial prostatitis, a course of empirical antibacterial therapy is used.

At present, topical physical therapy is very important. Laser, mud and electrophoresis physiotherapy is considered the most effective. Electromagnetic radiation is based on its anti-congestion and bacteriostatic action. Low energy laser treatment stimulates microcirculation in prostate tissues and laser treatment also has biostimulation. In the absence of contraindications, therapeutic prostate massage is used.

Surgery is increasingly being used to treat prostatitis, as the disease is affecting more and more young men. An indication for surgery may be sclerosis of the seminal vesicle; these patients often consult a doctor with signs of lack of sexual sensation and ejaculation. In such cases, the sperm tube is excised. Surgery is also used to harden the bladder and prostate.

Symptoms of prostatitis

Very often, men with prostatitis complain of fever and fever, even if the temperature measured under the arm is normal, then very often the temperature in the anus will rise. Pain in the lower back, lower abdomen, perineum, anus and scrotum also serves as a signal to go to the doctor. Even more frequent urination, there are cramps and a burning sensation when urinating. There is a worsening of the general condition, weakness, muscle and bone pain, severe headaches.

With inflammation of the prostate in men, urination is difficult, which is often accompanied by urinary retention. Constipation, which occurs due to compression of the rectum by an enlarged gland, is characteristic of the disease.

Treatment of prostatitis

Before starting treatment, you need to make sure of the exact diagnosis. The minimum procedures to be performed are the measurement of the temperature in the anus, the diagnosis and palpation of the inguinal perineum of the lymph nodes, a general clinical blood test and a general urine test. You should also get smears from the urethra and bacterioscopy of urine and sediment. In addition, structural ultrasound of the prostate is performed.

In the anus, the temperature usually rises and differs from the temperature of mouse operations by about one degree. During the analysis of urine, the indicator of the number of leukocytes is exceeded. Blood tests also show some changes, for example, the number of eosinophils decreases and neutrophilic leukocytosis occurs. In immunosuppressed patients, sepsis is often seen with complications of prostatitis.

On palpation of the perineum, the patient feels pain, the patient has an increase in inguinal lymph nodes. The prostate gland swells on palpation, swells and warms to the touch, and sometimes with heterogeneous inflammatory seals. If the prostate is inflamed, no biopsy is done and the infection can spread further.

The treatment of prostatitis consists of the use of antibiotics against the microorganisms that are the causative agents of this disease. Antipyretic drugs are also prescribed to lower body temperature and use emollient laxatives to facilitate bowel movements. The patient is prescribed a massage course, which consists in compressing the inflammatory secretion with the fingers, compression in the ducts and finally in the urethra. Prostate massage improves blood circulation and has a good effect on prostate muscle tone.

Prevention of prostatitis

First of all, to prevent prostatitis, you need to limit yourself to foods and follow a special diet. You should include in your diet foods such as parsley, asparagus, strawberries and if you like pasta and so on, then they should be hard varieties. You should also rule out bad habits and alcohol, spicy foods. As the disease worsens, it is very important to exclude sex life.

To prevent prostatitis, it is necessary to exclude all risk factors for its occurrence, namely: to follow a proper diet, to rule out bad habits and to have a normal sex life, as this does not allow the accumulation of sperm. Every young man should know that inconsistency in sexual intercourse is bad for the prostate. An active sex life increases the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases. So use contraception. Watch your bowels and go to the toilet regularly. Another important point is work: if connected in a sedentary way, then you need physical activity, jogging will also be convenient, swimming and tennis. Also, do not forget the daily walks in the fresh air, this is very beneficial for the whole body. Hypothermia adversely affects the immune system and at this point the infection progresses. You should be examined by a urologist, even if there are no conditions for this.

Early treatment of any urogenital infection will help eliminate the cause of the development of prostatitis.

Folk remedies for the prevention of prostatitis are also popular, based on them, recipes such as the inclusion in the diet of honey, nuts and nuts, which are rich in vitamins and minerals. Pumpkin seeds and onions, oatmeal and seafood, liver and apples are rich in zinc and therefore have a special, important value and great benefits for the prostate. Add to the above tips: empty your stomach completely and avoid constipation. This will help products like kefir, vegetable oil and fiber. Separately, it is necessary to mention the benefits of exercise for the relevant muscles.

Exercises to prevent prostatitis are easy and do not require special adjustment, they can be performed anytime, anywhere. Here is an example of some of them: perform perineal movements as if pulling on the rectum. stretch the perineal muscles, trying to stop urinating, hold them in this position for as long as possible. while lying down, lift the pelvis and hold it for twenty or thirty seconds, repeat these movements until you feel pain and fatigue in the buttocks. Such simple exercises will only be an advantage for your body.
