Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate gland, an organ, so important to the male body that it is not without reason is called "a man's second heart".
This gland has the shape of an unspoken roll located below the bladder.A mouth of the bladder and (partially) the urethra passes through the roll of the gland.The structural iron of the prostate consists of a group of tubular-alveolar glands associated with muscle tissue.
Purpose of the prostate gland:
- Produce the secretory fluid needed for liquefaction, safety and sperm transport,
- Adjusting the urination process.
There are two types of prostatitis - acute and chronic, and chronic prostatitis accounts for 95% of the total number of prostatitis diseases.
ABOUTacute prostatitisAll signs of a febrile state are characteristic:
- frequent painful urination;
- painful urination;
- painful defecation;
- increased sweating;
- elevated temperature and fever condition;
- state of apathy and drowsiness;
- fatigue and a sense of general weakness;
- Reduction of power.
Chronic prostatitisMuch more secret: producing devastating work in the prostate gland, he does not find a little his presence.As a rule, for chronic prostatitis, the demand for night urination is typical (in the sense - raising from the bed in the middle of the night for a toilet visit) and an indestructible feeling and annoyance in the groin.Unfortunately, few of the men pay the importance of these symptoms.
All of the above symptoms can be observed simultaneously, but can - selectively (only a few symptoms);However, there are situations when one does not associate these symptoms to the disease of the genitourinary realm, but explains the disease with an emotional state and fatigue.
The health of the prostate gland is alas, very fragile.As medical statistics show, this iron is very easily inflamed.Almost almost impossible to call a reason that certainly does not provoke inflammation of the prostate gland.
The causes of prostate
- penetration of infection;This can be an infection that is laid by an neighboring organ (for example, an inflammatory process in the urethra, bladder, testicles, appendages) or from a very distant - from inflamed glands (tonsils), ears (otitis media), even nail and skin infections.
The causative agents of the infection can be a wide variety of bacteria and viruses, as well as various pathogenic fungi and viruses.
- The irritation of stagnant processes in both the prostate gland and in general in the genitals of a man, ie.Inflammation without an infection carrier.
Stagnation in the genitourinary realm is a frequent phenomenon.It means that a person has problems with the right way of life, and, as a rule, often these problems are caused by a sedentary lifestyle, and are so connected that, according to authorizing scientists, the degree and all the prostate time in our time is a task of civilization benefits.Moreover, the prostate is waiting for those who are very active in sexual terms and those who lead an ascetic lifestyle.
Definitely is obviously possible to predict the emergence of prostate in men who guide the random sex life even if they follow the contraception of obstacles.
Who is in danger?
Enemies of prostate health are excess weight, alcohol, smoking, clothing of disabled clothing (tuned, synthetic or not until season), hypothermia, frequent transport trips (in any transport, but especially in cars and motorcycles), and no matter which quality - a driver or passenger.Those men who are forced to make frequent trips are subject to a dual prostate threat: due to constant swing, and because of the inability to empty the bladder and intestines in the first calls.
Prostatitis as a result of the shake became so frequent that doctors called it the second arrival of Scythian disease ("Scythian disease" - prostatitis from riding).From constant oscillation, the perineum microtrauma occurs, which has a cumulative effect and, as a result, is manifested by problems that are typical for a time for severe damage.
The consequences of prostate
Prostatitis complications: this is impotence and infertility, prostate adenoma, prostate sclerosis (gland death), prostate cystsand many other diseases.So far, medicine has accumulated enough examples that prove mutual air conditioningProstatitis and prostate cancer.
The scary extent of the prostate does not mean hope before this very secret disease.They only talk about the culture of the doctors they visit.Statistics say: in 90 percent of patients who referred to the doctor, developing prostatitis, and there are few patients diagnosed with the initial stage of the disease.
True, recently, doctors have talked about small but distinct positive movements in this area - the number of patients facing a preventive purpose has increased.As a rule, these are young with the position of the so -called active life.The community of doctors in every way possible welcomes this enterprise.
Diagnosis of prostatitis
Set the fact of the prostate is only half the battle.The main thing is to find the reason that caused it.For this, it is assumed to perform a diagnostic examination.
The patient who contacted the clinic for prostatitis diagnosis will be offered to pass:
- PCR for sexual infections,
- Ultrasound and prostate trumpet, bladder and seed bubbles,
- Microscopy of secretion of the prostate gland,
- Planting the secretion of the prostate gland to determine the pathogen of infection (this is necessary to determine the sensitivity of the antibiotic and select the corresponding antibiotic),
- various urine tests,
- spermogram;
- Prostate palpation.
All of these tests are indispensable for choosing treatment, otherwise it would become symptomatic (in order to relieve symptoms of pain, without affecting treatment as such).
Treatment of acute prostate and chronic prostatitis treatment have significant changes.
Treatment of prostatitis
Treatment of acute prostatitis, as a rule, is complex, and may include:
- antibacterial therapy,
- anti -inflammatory therapy,
- laser
- Prostate massage.
The treatment of chronic prostatitis is always individual and depends on medical history (the type of prostatitis) and the individual characteristics of the patient.
The most common type of prostatitis is bacterial prostatitis.Antibiotics for its treatment are prescribed taking into account the sensitivity of the germs that caused them.
In order for the treatment to be as effective as possible, atibacterial therapy is combined with laser therapy, prostate massage, as well as anti -inflammatory and general strengthening therapy.
Prostate massage is needed for squeezing purulent masses from the prostate, which are always there, with prostate inflammation.
In chronic prostatitis, taking antibiotics as the only form of treatment is ineffective;A combination with other methods is needed.
After the course of treatment, a prostate control ultrasound and a control analysis of the secretion of the prostate gland is necessarily performed.
The prostate treatment prognosis is favorable (prognosis of prostatitis treatment at an early stage is successful).
