The prostate or prostate gland is part of the reproductive system. Its function is to develop a secret to liquefy sperm and accelerate sperm movement. Disease of the prostate gland is insidious, because men for many years, because of mild symptoms, may not even be aware of it. The disease "prostatitis" is caused by inflammatory processes that occur in men in the prostate gland. Most often, it affects those who have crossed the forty-year milestone.
The disease can have an acute and chronic form. The acute form is most often noted in young men. Chronic prostatitis is usually observed in men who have reached adulthood. In order to provoke the disease, you do not need much effort. It can begin in men who lead a sedentary life who have suffered a pelvic injury.
Prostatitis develops with irregular and erratic sex life, hypothermia, circulatory disorders and other factors. It occurs when an infection penetrates the prostate gland. In this case, bacteria can enter the gland from the bladder, inflamed urethra and other organs where there are foci of infection.
The disease can occur as a result of stagnation of blood in the pelvis. Negatively affect the prostate and the decay products of alcoholic beverages, they irritate the mucous membrane. Spicy seasonings and dishes, smoked meats can cause the same effect. Once in the blood, they irritate the prostate gland.
Pelvic circulatory disorders contribute to the development of prostatitis and constipation. Diagnosis of prostatitis by external signs is difficult, because the disease is often asymptomatic. The appearance of urination problems (frequent urination , burning and a weak stream), appeared pain in the perineum, decreased potency and other signs can be a signal that prostatitis has appeared. True, another symptom of the prostate gland has similar symptoms - adenoma.
Acute prostatitis is quite rare, and it is easily diagnosed. It is characterized by general intoxication of the body, which is easy to verify in a laboratory. The disease is accompanied by pain in the perineum and groin. Chronic prostatitis is more likely due to congestion in the pelvic area. It appears in middle age with weak sexual activity. In addition to the main ones, there are additional factors that can cause this disease (smoking, alcohol, a sedentary lifestyle, etc.).
Symptoms of chronic inflammation of the prostate are manifested by pain in the groin and genitals. Diagnosis of prostatitis in this form is difficult due to the lack of objective signs of an inflammatory process. For a more accurate diagnosis, ultrasound (ultrasound) and rectal examination are used, in some cases, a biopsy is performed. The causative agents of infection are determined by a special method, and in the case of confirmation of the bacterial origin of the disease, antibiotic therapy is carried out.
Diagnosis of prostatitis without fail involves the delivery of blood and urine tests. The treatment for this disease depends on the cause that caused it. For this, various types of therapy are used (antibacterial, vitamin and physiotherapy, etc.), acupuncture and urological massage. With the infectious nature of the disease, special antibiotics are selected.
Hypothermia, a sedentary lifestyle, stress lead to circulatory disorders in the prostate. To restore it, apply massage and physiotherapy. In recent years, acupuncture has been actively practiced. Diagnosis of prostatitis, and then treatment give the best results, if carried out comprehensively. So that there are no problems associated with such a disease, you need to try not to miss its first symptoms. For this purpose, it is necessary to periodically visit doctors and undergo necessary medical examinations.
