Prostatitis is an extremely unpleasant disease.
Especially considering how important it is for anyone to feel their leadership and superiority in all matters, problems in sexual life may have a very negative impact on mental health, self-confidence and overall victory. Therefore, it is very important to find and cure prostatitis in time, and even better prevent prostatitis. Medication is the most effective treatment for male prostatitis, but it may not always help. Moreover, this is very important for anyone between the ages of 30-35, because he has been at risk for the disease ever since. At the same time, the disease can manifest itself in various forms, with different manifestations of symptoms-therefore, regular medical visits are very important for prevention.
But first, you need to figure out what disease it is. For this reason, it is worth turning to knowledge of medicine and anatomy. The term "prostatitis" originated from the Latin word prostatitis. Literally, the prostate is the prostate, and inflammation is inflammation. That is, prostatitis is the result of prostate infection. This happens often because the gland is located in a place where bacteria from the intestine, bladder, blood or lymph can easily penetrate into it. This happens often, but in most cases, the man's body can successfully cope with it. In order to develop prostatitis, other factors are needed.
Causes of prostatitis
The causes of this disease may vary. There are many factors and nuances that can cause inflammation of the prostate. However, there is the root cause of this disease. These are pathogenic microorganisms that can penetrate the prostate, start an active life, corrode and destroy tissues from the inside, thereby causing the inflammatory process.
At the same time, inflammation can occur in different ways depending on the nature and the form of the disease. In some cases, it develops rapidly and is accompanied by acute pain. Sometimes the infection gradually destroys the tissues, thereby starting the disease process, which will continue even if the infection itself is eliminated.
The infection itself will follow the ascending path into the prostate. The most common is-through the urethra, especially in urogenital diseases. In some cases, the infected pelvic organs are infected through the blood and lymph. Therefore, the prostate is infected.
There are several factors that can influence the onset of inflammation:
- Infectious diseases of the genitourinary system.
- Sexually transmitted diseases and sexually transmitted infections.
- Hypothermia, especially in winter.
- When the immune system cannot cope with an infection, the body's defenses are reduced.
- Pelvic congestion and severe violation of the circulatory system of the small pelvis mainly occur during sedentary work and lack of proper physical activity.
- Irregular sex life and prolonged abstinence (because of the natural massage of the prostate during ejaculation).
- Excessive sex also often causes inflammation of the prostate.
- Injury to the genitals or perineum. Motorcyclists and cyclists as well as motorists are most likely to suffer such injuries.
- Alcohol and smoking. This bad habit can seriously affect the function of the entire body, especially causing edema in the prostate area.
- Mental and physical overload can cause physical stress.
- Allergic reaction.
- Hormonal system diseases.
- Stool problems (recurrent constipation).
However, all the above factors do not completely mean that if a person is a driver who likes skiing in winter or an office worker who spends the entire workday in a sitting position, then he must have prostatitis. This only means that in the case of such risk factors, he needs to undergo regular examinations, which will help determine the onset of the inflammatory process. It is recommended to perform this operation at least every six months, because prevention will be much cheaper and much safer compared to comprehensive and long-term treatment.
Types of prostatitis
The doctor identified several forms of prostatitis.
- Chronic bacteria-Prostatitis, which develops in a chronic form, is usually caused by a bacterial infection that lasts for a long time. If the corresponding bacteria are found in the secretion sample of the prostate, this form of prostatitis can be diagnosed.
- Chronic non-bacterial prostatitis-Chronic inflammation of the prostate, non-infectious, meaning that no bacteria were detected during the test. This type of prostatitis occurs mainly due to autoimmune damage to the prostate tissue.
- Acute prostatitisis a special form characterized by chronic pain. They are mainly located in the genitals. These pains are the main symptoms of prostatitis.
- Asymptomatic-This is the most annoying form, it is difficult to diagnose and can continue without symptoms. It can only be determined during regular preventive inspections.
Symptoms
may indicate that the first and most obvious symptom of prostate inflammation is difficulty urinating and pain at these times. If you feel this way, you should definitely consult a doctor and check for infection. This is also true if the desire to urinate becomes too frequent and the bladder empties a small part.
It is especially important to pay attention to any changes and abnormal sensations in the body, taking into account the fact that the inflammatory process usually starts completely asymptomatic and gradually turns into a chronic form. And this disease is more difficult to treat because the development of prostatitis itself can continue even after the infection is cleared.
Acute prostatitis is easier to define. Because in this case, it will suddenly appear suddenly. However, it is worth remembering that everyone's disease can progress in a completely different way, and everything is very individual.
The symptoms of acute prostatitis are the main symptoms that indicate inflammation of the prostate:
- Painful sensation when urinating.
- Always urge to empty the bladder.
- Pain in the perineum area. Not only in the genitals, but also in the anus and ac bone.
- Performance barriers.
- If the bowel movement is accompanied by painful feelings.
- Weak body and feel unwell.
- Temperature rise.
- Unexplained increase in sweating.
- A constant feeling of filling the bladder.
- When defecation, the urethra will pass out at the same time.
- Unstable emotional state, irritable.
A person does not need to show all the symptoms at once, because every creature is an individual. Therefore, the form of expression can be completely different. One of the most urgent symptoms is a violation of efficacy, after which it is necessary to check whether there is an inflammatory process. This can be an erection problem or a premature ejaculation problem, in some cases-lack of sexual desire in principle. But you don't have to worry about it-once the basic disease is cured, all these problems will go away on their own.
Diagnosis
In order to make an accurate diagnosis and determine the existence of the disease, you must consult a urologist. Since you cannot do this alone, and if you start an inflammatory process, it can cause serious complications.
The approximate algorithm used for diagnosis is as follows:
- A doctor's examination and an overall clinical assessment of the condition.
- Urinalysis (usually general analysis of microflora).
- A test designed to identify sexually transmitted diseases.
- Use a urethral swab to determine if there is an infection.
- Ejaculation analysis.
- Ultrasound examination of pelvic organs.
- Urology.
- In some cases, if prostate cancer is suspected, a biopsy is performed.
After all of the above studies, if inflammation is found, the infection is "tested". And based on all these data, doctors have formulated further treatment plans for prostatitis.
There is usually a question whether chronic prostatitis can be cured. The doctor's comment on this matter is very comforting, and it is easy to receive treatment.
Treatment
This disease itself is very difficult, which causes great difficulty for doctors to treat. However, this does not at all mean that doctors cannot do anything. This disease is completely curable, and you will soon be able to relieve symptoms and help patients. Using drugs to treat male prostatitis, you can quickly relieve the discomfort. In addition, modern medicine has multiple functions, including producing stable relief. The fact depends on the patient and how the entire treatment will be carried out. It is necessary to clearly and undoubtedly follow all the recommendations recommended by the doctor, otherwise the expected results may not be achieved. However, in order to ensure the cure, it is very important to ensure the professional level of the doctor. Because of the process itself, the treatment plan for prostatitis must be formulated with great ability, otherwise it will be difficult to obtain the effect.
A set of measures to treat prostatitis usually includes the following procedures:
Antibiotic therapy
Since prostatitis is inflammation caused by prostate infection, its main treatment is to suppress prostatitis. Therefore, prostatitis can be treated with antibiotics. Since all diseases are completely independent, it is difficult to choose the best prostatitis treatment. Today, in order to treat chronic prostatitis, doctors resort to the use of macrolide drugs. Their main function is to prevent the formation of proteins in bacteria, thereby destroying the possibility of life activities. Although in some cases other drugs are used. The attending physician will select drugs and formulate treatment plans based on personal characteristics. Therefore, the dose and choice of the drug itself are different in each case.
On average, the course of taking antibiotics itself is about 2 weeks. But again, everything depends on the personality characteristics of each patient. After this period of time, a second comprehensive examination and research is usually performed to determine whether it is necessary to stop treatment or change its regimen. Men taking prostatitis drugs is one of the main ways to fight prostate inflammation. However, it is not unique.
Massage
Massage is a very effective tool to prevent and treat prostatitis. Since one of the main reasons for its occurrence is stagnation, massage can eliminate them. By improving the microcirculation of blood in the genitals and the excretion of prostate secretions, the condition will be generally improved, the treatment will be more successful, and the recovery will be faster. Prostate massage can be performed independently or by a doctor. One of the methods is micro enema, testicular massage, directly hitting the prostate through the anus. But there are some restrictions. Since this massage has a certain physical effect, it is not recommended if prostatitis develops in an acute form as well as hemorrhoids, cracks and other rectal diseases. In addition to antibiotic treatment, massage is often prescribed because it has repeatedly proven effective in treating this difficult disease. Massage treatment of prostatitis is usually included in a series of measures to eliminate this unpleasant disease.
In addition to massage, treatment of prostatitis at home also includes the implementation of complex or separate gymnastics, which will help normalize the blood circulation of the pelvic organs, thereby promoting rapid healing.
Physical Therapy
In addition, physical therapies for treating prostatitis are prescribed, and these therapies can also effectively deal with this disease. It helps to improve tissue nutrition and blood circulation in the prostate. For these procedures, one or another device for treating prostatitis is used. Among the methods and measures of physical therapy, magnetic therapy and laser therapy, electrophoresis, hot bath, diathermy, and ultrasound can be selected separately. In some cases, using a mud bath is very effective. Another physical therapy method used to treat prostatitis is to use enemas with different compositions. For example, use mineral water.
When using each individual prostatitis device, remember to be very careful not to cause any damage.
Herbs
is usually also used in the main course of treatment. With the help of phytotherapy, male prostatitis can be treated at home, but it must not replace the main antibiotic intake. Taking herbal soups and dietary supplements helps the body strengthen the immune system, thereby enhancing the body's defenses and helping to successfully fight infections. With the help of herbs, folk remedies can treat chronic prostatitis. This therapy is a good complement to the main therapy, because due to the effects of certain herbs, it is possible to promote blood circulation in the pelvic organs and the entire body, and enhance resistance to infection.
Psychotherapy
Prostatitis is usually psychosomatic in nature. As it happens, even using pills to treat prostatitis cannot achieve the desired effect. In addition, prostatitis often causes serious discomfort in a person's sex life, which usually puts him in an unstable psychological and emotional state. The purpose of psychotherapy is precisely to deal with these moments of crisis and maintain a mature personality. Usually, men begin to feel extremely insecure about such health problems, which greatly affects all areas of life. Combining the treatment of prostatitis with competent psychological work is very important for patients. In many cases, after a person receives psychological treatment and solves many very difficult internal problems, the cure is more effective. Therefore, this therapy is not more important than other therapies for successful cure.
Surgery
In particularly difficult and advanced situations, it may be necessary to seek the help of a surgeon. Narrowing of the urethra may occur, and prostate abscess may occur. Sometimes the adenoma needs to be removed. All of this will happen without timely diagnosis and proper treatment. Then complications began to appear-and this intervention was already needed. In severe cases, surgical removal of the prostate may be required. In order to prevent such consequences, it is necessary to take preventive measures regularly, and see a doctor every six months.
Immune correction
Since inflammation occurs because the body cannot cope with the infection on its own, it is necessary to strengthen the immune system in order to effectively treat inflammation of the prostate. In addition, if successful antibiotic treatment has not been done before, the immune system is in a weakened state, even more, so it needs to be strengthened further. In addition, this therapy has a very positive effect on preventing the recurrence of prostatitis after cure.
The treatment may just be vitamin or mineral supplementation. The best way is to contact an immunologist, who will perform all the necessary tests and accurately define the deficiencies that the body needs for successful work and enhanced protection. Then the drugs for treating prostatitis will be the most effective.
Nutrition
In addition to general therapies, especially if you are treating chronic prostatitis, you should make certain adjustments to your plan and diet. At the same time, there is no universal solution; in each case, its own limitations or supplements are introduced. It depends not only on the form of the disease, but also on the man's body.
But there are still some basic requirements that are mandatory. In addition, it is recommended to observe prostatitis immediately when it is suspected. These restrictions first include refusal to drink alcohol. Because it has a destructive effect on the body, and can cause the rapid development of inflammation. Therefore, you should limit the use of salt in your daily diet. And make sure to take in fluids in the body every day-at least 1. 5 liters.
In any case, the diet must be rebuilt on the basis of fresh vegetables and fruits, and the rest of the products are already supplements. If it worsens, it is recommended to give up fried food and steam all food. Protein foods-meat, fish, and chickens, during periods of increased inflammation, it is also recommended to exclude them from the diet and gradually recover as the condition improves.
There are many products that have an adverse effect on the prostate, so it is recommended that during the treatment period, if it cannot be ruled out, at least the dosage should be reduced. These products include:
- Tea and coffee-due to high caffeine content. Sometimes cocoa powder is also included in this group.
- Any canned food, smoked meat, salted and excessively spicy or spicy dishes should also be excluded.
- Any animal fat, including broth.
- Cabbage and all beans can cause intestinal fermentation and should be avoided.
- Bread products, especially those made from wheat flour-for the same reason.
The doctor will also tell you what exactly needs to be changed in your diet.
Alternative therapy
You can also use folk remedies to treat prostatitis, which is also very effective. But at the same time, a doctor must be consulted in advance, and this treatment can only be started with the doctor’s consent. There are many folk recipes-either individual products such as propolis or pumpkin seeds can be used, or special products, tinctures and candles can be created.
Folk remedies for prostatitis may be a very effective supplement to prostatitis drugs. But under no circumstances should self-medication be used.
Prevention
The main preventive measure for any disease is to pay attention to your own health. To prevent inflammation of the prostate, you should simply avoid factors that may cause prostatitis. That is, do not get too cold, monitor your diet and lifestyle, exercise regularly and prevent the occurrence of sexually transmitted infections. And also have regular sexual relations with regular partners, and immediately treat any infections, especially the pelvic organs.
But the best preventive measure is still to see a doctor regularly. Since prostatitis often occurs completely asymptomatic, if it is not diagnosed in time, it will be difficult to cure in the future. Therefore, you should not forget this measure and see a doctor at least once every six months.
