In recent decades, markedly increased the incidence of prostatitis. The connection is traced back to the increased resistance of microbial pathogens to antibacterial agents, as well as the growing freedom of sexual relations.
The causes of the disease
It is caused by inflammation of the prostate tissue, especially male pathology. The prostate gland is located just below the bladder, such as the switch covers the urethra.
The inflammation can be infectious and non-infectious nature. In the first case the causative agents are:
- Sexually transmitted diseases.
- Non-specific causative agents of chronic lesions.
- Hospital infections acquired during surgery.
Non-infectious form of the disease occurs when stagnant blood in the small pelvis, prolonged abstinence, excessive sexual activity, and decreased immunity, hypothermia, alcohol abuse. With the development of prostatitis in men treatment medicines is carried out in the first place
Classification
Main types:
- Steep.
- Chronic bacterial.
- Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome.
- Asymptomatic chronic.
What happens in acute illness
Prostate tissue get the bacteria. Most often it is the representatives of conditionally pathogenic flora – E. coli, Staphylococcus, Klebsiella, Proteus.
By reducing the immune defense creates good conditions for their reproduction: the prostate the juice is a concentrate of nutrients, glucose, vitamins, what to dilute sperm and to support the viability of the sperm.
Slag microbes and they cause an inflammatory reaction of the blood leukocytes move through blood vessel walls leaking fluid portion of the blood, the swelling, the glands increase in size, the stronger the squeeze of the urethra. Microbial toxins increase the body temperature, symptoms of poisoning.
Signs of the disease
Symptoms of prostatitis in men, and its symptoms appear gradually. Begins to disturb chills, increased body temperature, fever. Poisoning of the growth, sore muscles and joints, to show weakness, reduced working capacity.
The temperature in some cases may remain normal, it will increase significantly when measured in the rectum. The reason is within close proximity of the inflammatory lesion. There is pain in the perineum, the scrotum, radiating to the sacrum, back, anus.
The pain may be diffuse in the hips, without a clear localization. When urination occurs, is characterized by pain, burning and tingling in urethra. The changing nature of urination. It becomes hurried, the urine sample is reduced. Characterized by frequent night calls. Sometimes develop acute urinary retention.
The enlarged prostate can squeeze the rectum appear constipation or pain with bowel movements. Stagnation of urine, and the proximity of the infectious focus leads to the development of cystitis, when the penetration of pathogens ascend to the kidneys occurs as pyelonephritis. Other symptoms can be colorless, white or yellow-green discharge from the urethra, blood in the semen.
Diagnostic methods
The diagnosis is rarely causes difficulties in the clinical picture typical. Confirmed by using a digital examination of the prostate through the rectum. It is palpated as enlarged, painful training. Also, take it a secret analysis.
Changes in the General blood and urine tests is inflammatory nature. In the blood increases the white blood cell count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, the formula to increase the neutrophils. Urine may contain white blood cells and bacteria.
Remember to check for infections, sexually transmitted diseases. Urine and prostate secretion grown in nutrient medium for diagnosis of the flora and its sensitivity to antibiotics.
Diagnostic use of ultrasound of the prostate and transrectal ultrasound. Sometimes, urethrocystoscopy, urodynamic examination x-ray image.
Treatment
Basic principles of treatment:
- Rest.
- Ban the prostate massage.
- Broad-spectrum antibiotics.
- Pain medications and anti-inflammatory drugs.
- Correction of disorders of urination.
- Detoxification.
- Improved blood flow.
An antibacterial medications would be a good permeability of prostate tissue, is bactericidal, not bacteriostatic. This contributes to the destruction of the pathogen and prevent transition to a chronic form.
Correction of disorders of urination
- For this purpose, preparations of several groups.Diuretics increase urine flow, mechanical wash away the infection and products of metabolism. Would not be prescribed in anuria, disorder of water and electrolyte balance.
- Antispasmodics relieve smooth muscle spasm, promote relaxation of the bladder and urethra, to prevent urine retention. There is a small analgesic effect.
- Alpha-blockers facilitate the act of urination.
Traditional methods
Diagnosis of prostatitis in men, and its treatment of folk remedies should be ancillary. The disease in most cases caused by an infectious agent, but without the quality of the antibiotics is unable to cope with it.
The following are:
Pumpkin seeds is recommended to eat 30 pieces a day. They contain a lot of zinc, which is good for men's health. You can pound the seeds to clean, grind in a meat grinder and mix 200 g of honey. Take a teaspoon three times a day. The shell of the fruit of the horse chestnut is about to fall. Brewed as a tea, which is recommended to drink 2 times a day. Decoction of the bark of the chestnuts themselves, or make microclysters 250 ml two times a week. Three times a day, take a tablespoon of parsley juice. Several branches of the hazel leaves brewed with boiling water, bring to a boil. Pour into a bowl and hover over it's branch. The course of treatment – a week.
If not treated?
May form a purulent focus, then formed an abscess of the prostate. In this case, the symptoms of poisoning are on the rise, there is acute urinary retention.
If the disease becomes chronic, the symptoms of prostatitis in men, and its treatment of embarking on the course. Rarely ask for help through the aggravation, preferring to take pain medication and drink antibiotics.
But such treatment is even more advanced chronic diseases, antimicrobial resistance development. Each exacerbation of infection higher in the urinary tract, it can cause cystitis, pyelonephritis, may occur infertility. Pain during exacerbation reduce libido and potency.
When I developed chronic illness
Treatment is inadequate, incomplete course of antibiotics, decreased immunity leads to the formation of foci of chronic infection. When exposed to precipitating factors it can worsen.
Sometimes the symptoms are not expressed. The pain is aching, muffled, violation of urination man becomes accustomed to and often take the need for granted. At exacerbation there is a change in the urine – there are bacteria and white blood cells.
Chronic process is dangerous, that it creates an infectious epidemic that can spread throughout the body under favorable conditions. It affects erections, potency, and ability to get children.
Prevention
In order to prevent the development of disease should be timely treatment of infections – from colds cavities and purulent foci. They can be a source of infection to any other organs.
This disease is importance of sex life. Bad for a long time abstinence there is stagnation of secretions, decreased blood flow to the. Frequent change of sexual partners, casual relationships increases the risk of infections, sexually transmitted diseases. Detrimental effect on the deterrence of ejaculation, prolonged, repeated, incomplete sexual intercourse. Important to general health, Smoking cessation, alcohol use and physical activity.
