One of the serious diseases in men is prostatitis. Men are often unaware of the signs of prostatitis and attribute the discomfort to other factors, which give rise to the severity of the disease. To avoid problems, you need to know what is hidden under these signs to pay attention to them in a timely manner.
Causes of prostate inflammation
Prostatitis refers to inflammation of the prostate. The prostate gland is a small part of the male reproductive organs. It is located under the bladder. The prostate is located around the tube that secretes urine, because of inflammation, it interferes with the outflow of urine.
After 35 years, the prostate gland is constantly increasing. This is a common occurrence. In men over the age of 50, part of the disease appears due to poor function of the genitourinary system, caused by inflammation of the prostate.
Thus, the more the prostate is enlarged, the more urine accumulates, and the organism is poisoned.
- The main reason for its increase is circulatory failure. The cause of this failure is a sedentary lifestyle, large weight.
- Infection. They can be introduced through gonorrhea or urethritis, less often they can enter the body after having a sore throat, flu or tuberculosis.
- The prostate can also become inflamed when bacteria enter the prostate through the blood, unprotected intercourse. Various microorganisms that live on the surface of the skin, abdominal organs, receiving the necessary conditions, can cause inflammatory processes.
- Small pelvic organs and soft tissues with injury, poor blood circulation in them can affect the development of prostatitis. This especially applies to drivers. They lead an inactive lifestyle, stunted blood circulation and the load on the pelvic organs increases many times over.
- Persistent hypothermia, infrequent physical activity, chronic diseases of the genitourinary system, disturbances in hormonal balance, difficulty urinating, infrequent sexual intercourse - all this leads to the development of the disease.
Men who lead a rich sex life suffer from nervous and physical exhaustion, they begin to malfunction in the balance of hormones, sex glands, which gradually leads to diminished potency. It has a detrimental effect on male power and unfinished sex.
- An inactive life has adverse effects on the endocrine, nervous and cardiovascular systems. The outflow of blood in the pelvic organs gradually worsens, moreover, it begins to stagnate, there is a lack of oxygen in the prostate tissue-this provokes the growth and spread of pathogenic bacteria, which can be a source of inflammation of the prostate. This is not a major source of inflammation, but plays an important role in the penetration of various microorganisms into the prostate.
- An inflamed rectum or urethra often causes re -infection of the prostate.
- Persistent constipation can also be a driver of the disease. Frequent stool violations can trigger inflammation of the prostate gland.
- Immunity plays a far from secondary role here. Bad habits, excessive emotional stress, lack of nutrients, overwork lead to a weakened immune system, and the male body is vulnerable to the penetration of various types of infectious pathogens.
- The cause of prostatitis is a urological infection, some venereal disease. Chronic disease can also be a cause of prostatitis.
What indicates the development of prostatitis
You can investigate the symptoms by doing standard urine and blood tests. Diagnosis will help to determine the cause of the disease. Microorganisms, penetrating the bloodstream from the urea or intestines to where it is needed, interfere with bodily functions.
The non -bacterial form of the disease cannot be established using tests, but this does not mean the absence of bacteria. The consequences of those two forms will not please any man.
Signs of prostatitis in men are divided into 2 periods:
- latent (hidden)
- active
The first period shows mild symptoms, but this already indicates the beginning of the disease. The latent period can last for years. It is indicated by anxiety in the scrotum, sometimes at the head of the penis, anus.
Often men think that this is due to too much work.
From the moment the pain is felt stronger, going to the toilet for small needs turns into a problem, the active period of the disease begins. And it cannot be ignored.
The first signs of inflammation of the prostate gland
Prostatitis has several stages of development. Initially, it causes a constant desire to visit the toilet room, while the process of urination may be accompanied by pain and burning.
The lower back, groin and pelvis begin to ache. When the first symptoms of prostatitis appear, a man should visit a doctor to avoid all kinds of complications and maintain his masculine strength.
Signs of inflammation of the prostate are:
- persistent urge to urinate;
- pain;
- diminished erection or its complete absence.
External signs of prostatitis are described by difficulty urinating. The pressure may be weak, emptying of urea is accompanied by pain, sometimes there is no production of urine. This occurs due to the fact that the urethra is squeezed by an inflamed gland.
If you do not visit the doctor's office, the inflammation will continue to increase, covering other organs. The formation of tumors is inevitable. After the age of 30, all men should visit a specialist’s office every year.
To maintain his health and prevent disease, a man must:
- don't be too cold;
- eat a balanced diet (reduce fried foods, canned foods and alcohol);
- to lead an active lifestyle;
- avoid bad habits;
- live a regular sex life, avoid continuous erections without completion.
sick
The main symptoms of this disease are pain (pain, rupture, pulling, pressing). The pain can be mild and severe. And the place of their strongest concentration is the perineum, anus or sacrum. The cause of the pain symptoms is irritation of the glands.
Signs of chronic prostatitis
Feelings of discomfort, pain in the lower abdomen, sometimes in the lower back and thighs speak of the first signs of chronic disease. Within a few days, problems with erections began. After completion of sexual activity, a slight pain may appear at the head of the penis, which quickly disappears on its own.
Every visit to the toilet is accompanied by a burning sensation and soreness in the urinary tract.
Each time, this feeling will only increase.
Signs of acute prostatitis
The type of prostatitis is
- catarrhal
- follicles
- purulent.
In the first form, the sign of the disease is discomfort with the discharge of urine, by the time the pain of the next form in the scrotum begins, the temperature rises.
With the onset of the last form, the glandular abscess begins and all previous signs increase.
Disease treatment
Treatment of prostatitis in men consists of eliminating inflammation and congestive formation in the glands. The result of successful treatment is to eliminate it as soon as possible.
To begin treatment, it is necessary to conduct a diagnosis to determine the cause of the problem. The doctor takes a swab from the urethra. If the result is positive, the doctor prescribes treatment with antibiotics.
The duration of treatment depends only on the degree of infection of the body and the effectiveness of the selected drugs.
In young men, prostatitis most often appears due to superficial hypothermia. As a result, it turns into an acute form. To combat it, doctors prescribe antibiotic therapy.
Prostatitis, which is provoked by various stresses, is treated by a neurologist. In this case, the doctor prescribes a relaxing massage, electrophoresis, a course of vitamins. Getting rid of the disease will not work without eliminating the cause.
When symptoms of the disease appear, the following treatment algorithms are used:
- Antibiotics are an important part of the treatment of this form of infectious disease. The composition of the drug should be multi -effect.
- They may prescribe hormone medications to restore hormonal balance.
- To recover faster, you can use herbal medicine, use physiotherapy, folk methods will help relieve pain and restore body strength.
- If this method does not help solve the problem, then the intervention of a surgeon will be required. Sometimes this is the only way to cure.
Both forms of prostatitis in men can be treated with laser therapy. This method helps increase the body’s protective barrier and heal acini.
The chronic form can be treated at the same time with both laser and medication. In the acute form without obvious symptoms, the laser improves the patient's condition significantly: after several procedures, the pain stops, the erection returns to the patient.
Never you delay going to the doctor if the discomfort starts in the groin area. It is better to prevent the development of the disease immediately than to treat it for a long time, after receiving painful complications.
A visit to the doctor is not as daunting as one might think, especially in terms of health.
The main thing is to recover quickly and live a full, rich life, not denying your desires and meeting all your needs.
Every man should remember and take care of his own man’s health, especially at a young age.
