Recently, more and more men have been diagnosed with prostate adenoma. Over time, scientists realized that this disease and prostatitis, figuratively speaking, "go hand in hand." Why is prostatitis often accompanied by another disease - adenoma - and how to overcome this diagnosis? We will consider all the possible causes and symptoms of a developing benign tumor.
BPH
Why are we talking about a benign tumor? In the scientific world, this disease is known under a completely different name - benign hyperplasia. In fact, this is a benign tumor, in which the small glands of the submucosal layer located in the neck of the bladder simply grow. As a result, these formations press not only on the bladder and tubules, but also on the blood vessels, which causes stagnation and, as a result, thrombosis, insufficient blood movement in the affected area. If you believe the statistics, then the older the man, the more likely that he will find such a diagnosis. So, for example, people with an age of 50 to 50% of cases have this disease. Age over 70 increases the percentage to 75. There are several degrees of severity of the disease:
- Compensated, in which urination becomes more frequent, but the bladder is empty.
- Subcompensated - characterized by difficult outflow of urine, which does not come out completely.
- Decompensated, which is characterized by incontinence and involuntary drip.
Adenoma and prostatitis
Sometimes these diseases occur separately. But, as already mentioned, prostatitis is often accompanied by another disease - adenoma. If the first disease is characterized by the presence of inflammatory processes in the prostate , then the second, as mentioned above, causes the cells to grow. As a result, there is pressure on the urinary tract, bladder. What is noteworthy, in diagnosed and neutered men, these diagnoses are often not observed. This is explained by the fact that the endocrine system begins to malfunction more and more with age.
Causes of occurrence
Prostatitis is often accompanied by another disease - adenoma. And there are a number of reasons for this. These include:
- Hypothermia.
- Sexually transmitted infections.
- Inconsistency and inferiority of sexual life.
- Any hormonal disorders.
- A strong decrease in immunity.
- Violation of blood circulation and lymphatic drainage.
Most of these factors are observed in old age. Adenoma refers to hormone-dependent tumors. By itself, it does not cause any problems. But growing, it begins to put pressure on important organs or compounds, such as vessels, urinary tract, nerves, and the bladder.
Medications for prostatitis and adenomas can vary in names and degree of exposure. But they are quite effective and efficient. Therefore, it is not necessary that doctors prescribe surgery.
Diagnosis and treatment of prostatitis and prostate adenoma
If you have heard such a diagnosis, then this does not mean that you will definitely have surgery. In the early stages, only medication is offered, since operations do not bring a big positive result. It is diagnosed quite easily - on the ultrasound any manifestations of the disease are easily determined. Despite the fact that prostatitis is often accompanied by another disease - adenoma, it can also occur separately. In this case, inflammatory processes can be completely cured. The treatment methods and medicines for prostatitis and adenoma can be divided into non-traditional ones like herbal remedies, acupuncture, acupressure, warming up and traditional ones - taking Adenoprostal, Adenorm, Vitaprost and others. In addition, vitamin complexes will not be superfluous.
