In the last decades, an increased incidence of prostatitis. The communication has been drawn with a greater resistance to microbial pathogens to antimicrobial, and also with grown the freedom to have sexual relations.
The causes of the disease
It is called the inflammation of the tissues of the prostate, only by men the disease. The prostate gland lies under the bladder, like the clutch covers the urethra.
The inflammation can have fever and a piece of non-infectious nature. In the first case the causative agents are:
- Sexually transmitted infections.
- Non-specific pathogens of chronic diseases outbreaks.
- Of hospital infections, obtained during the operation.
Non-infectious form of the disease occurs when the stagnation of blood in the pelvis, prolonged abstinence, excessive sexual activity, decrease of the immune system, subcooling, of the abuse of alcohol. With the development of prostatitis in men and its treatment with drugs takes place in the first place
Classification
The main types:
- Pungent.
- Chronic bacterial.
- Chronic prostatitis/syndrome of chronic pelvic pain.
- Asymptomatic chronic.
What happens when a disease
In the prostate tissue within the bacteria. Often these representatives of freedom-pathogenic flora – and. coli, staphylococci, klebsiella, proteus.
When the immune protection created good conditions for their breeding juice of the prostate – is a concentrate of nutrients, glucose, vitamins, and diluted semen, and support the vitality of the sperm.
The waste products of the germs, and themselves cause an inflammatory response – from the bloodstream migrate to the leukocytes through the blood vessel wall to filter the liquid part of the blood, develops swelling, iron increases in size, more strong squeezes the urethra. The microbial toxins increase the temperature of the body, you develop symptoms of intoxication.
Signs of the disease
Signs of prostatitis in men and the symptoms appear gradually. Begins to disturb chills, increased body temperature, fever. Intoxication increases, hurt muscles and joints, appears to be weak, reduced capacity for work.
The temperature in some cases may remain normal, his improvement will be evident when you measure in the rectum. The reason – the proximity focus of inflammation. There is pain in the perineum, scrotum, radiating into the sacrum, lower back, back of the step.
The pain may be poured into the basin, without a clear localization. During urination occurs the characteristic pain – burning and stinging in the urethra. Changing the nature of urination. Becomes palpitations, and a portion of the urine decreases. Are characteristic and frequent nighttime stimuli. Sometimes develops acute urinary retention.
Enlarged prostate can compress the rectum, appears constipation, or pain during defecation. Stagnation of urine and the closeness of the infectious hearth leads to the development of cystitis, the penetration of pathogens ascending through the kidney occurs pyelonephritis. Other symptoms may be colorless, white, or yellow-green discharge from the urethra, blood in the semen.
Methods of diagnosis
The diagnosis rarely is a cause of trouble, his clinical picture is typical. For confirmation you apply a digital search of the prostate through the rectum. It is as palpable as increased, painful education. Also take his secret to the analysis.
Changes in the common analysis of blood and urine samples will be the wearing of an inflammatory nature. In the blood increases the number of white blood cells, ESR, in the form of an increase in neutrophils. The urine may contain leukocytes and bacteria.
Necessarily in the phase of evaluation on sexually transmitted infections. The urine and the secret of the prostate are planted by crop for the diagnosis, the flora and its sensitivity to antibiotics.
To diagnose using ULTRASOUND of the prostate and transrectal ULTRASOUND. Sometimes they pass urethrocystoscopy, urodynamics, x-ray.
Treatment
The basic principles of the treatment:
- The bed rest.
- The prohibition of the massage of the prostate.
- The broad-spectrum antibiotics.
- Painkillers and anti-inflammatory.
- The correction of disorders of urination.
- Detoxification.
- Improvement of the circulation of the blood.
Antibacterial drugs must have a good permeability in the tissue of the breast, have bactericidal and not bacteriostatic effect. This will help to destroy the pathogen and prevent the passage into the chronic form.
The correction of disorders of urination
- For this purpose the use of drugs of different groups.Diuretics increase the flow of urine, and mechanically wash out the infection and products of metabolism. It is not possible to assign with anuria, violation of water and electrolyte balance.
- Antispasmodics relieve the spasm of smooth muscles, and promote relaxation of the bladder and of the urethra, feel retention of urine. It has a small analgesic effect.
- Alpha-blockers facilitate the act of urination.
The traditional methods
The diagnosis of prostatitis in men and its treatment folk remedies should wear auxiliary. The disease in most cases, is caused by the infectious agent, and without the quality of the antibiotics with him, can not cope.
Below are the methods:
Pumpkin seeds recommended to eat 30 pieces a day. They contain a lot of zinc, which is useful for the health of men. Can be a half-kilo of seeds to be deleted, in a meat grinder to grind and mix with 200 g of honey. Take a teaspoon three times a day. The bark of horse chestnut is about to fall. Prepared as a tea which you should drink 2 times a day. A decoction of the bark or of self chestnuts are double the 250-ml two times a week. Three times a day, take a tablespoon of juice of parsley. A couple of branches of hazel with leaves infused with boiling water, bring to the boil. Pour into a bowl and climb on top of him the horse. The course of treatment – week.
If not treated?
Can form purulent hearth, then you form an abscess of the prostate. In this case, the symptoms of intoxication are increasing, occurs acute urinary retention.
If the disease enters the chronic symptoms of prostatitis in men and its treatment are abandoned to the case. Rarely asks for help in periods of exacerbation, preferring to take a painkiller and drink from the only antibiotic.
But what is the more favourable treatment of chronic disease, the development of resistance of micro-organisms. After each aggravation of the infection penetrates all of the above in the urinary tract, develops cystitis, pyelonephritis, can lead to infertility. Discomfort during exacerbations lead to a reduction of libido and potency, sexual.
When the disease developed chronic
Improper handling, part-time course of antibiotic therapy, a reduction in immunity lead to the formation of an outbreak of chronic infection. If exposed to triggers can make it worse.
Sometimes the symptoms are expressed not brilliant. The pain is pain, muffled, disorders of urination, man, get used to it and perceives frequent stimuli for granted. During exacerbations will be no changes in the urinalysis – are the bacteria and leukocytes.
A chronic process is dangerous because it creates an outbreak of infection that can spread throughout the body when conditions are favorable. This affects the erection, the power and the ability to have children.
Prevention
In order to prevent the development of the disease must be timely treatment of any infections from the common cold to caries and purulent foci. They can be a source of infection to any other organs.
For this disease has a value of sexual life. Evil prolonged abstinence – occurs a stagnation of the secretions, interrupted the flow of the blood. Frequent changes of sexual partner, casual communication can increase the risk of sexually transmitted infections. The harmful effect containment premature ejaculation, fund, new, incomplete sexual act. Important is the general level of health, smoking cessation, alcohol consumption, physical activity.
