Chronic prostatitis, classification.
Inflammation can be caused by bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms; It can also be caused by hypothermia, bad habits, poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle.
Chronic prostatitis in men manifests itself in different ways:
- Infectious- developing as a result of the harmful effects of microorganisms.
- Not infectious or stagnant- caused by congestion in the pelvis (stagnation of ejaculation, prostate discharge or venous blood)
In advanced cases, when there is no treatment, the usual form of the disease can become chronic calculous prostatitis. With this pathology, against the background of inflammation, stones form in the gland itself and its ducts.
Asymptomatic prostatitis is characterized by the absence of symptoms and complaints on the part of the patient and is detected only during examination.
The most common is the abacterial or stagnant type, it is diagnosed in 95% of patients.
Causes of chronic prostatitis.
Fundamental factors that contribute to the development of the disease:
- lack of physical activity is a direct path to poor blood supply to the pelvic organs as a result of congestion;
- unhealthy diet, fatty foods, alcohol, smoking;
- frequent restriction during sexual relations (for example, to avoid an unwanted pregnancy of a partner) or its interruption;
- infection in the genitourinary system due to poor personal hygiene or infection through a partner;
- frequent hypothermia of the body;
- weakened immunity, constipation, inflammatory phenomena in the body, including diseases of the upper respiratory tract;
- endocrine diseases, hormonal imbalances;
- Surgical operations on the pelvic organs.
Despite the various causes of chronic prostatitis, the symptoms manifest in the same way. In most cases, this is pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen.
Symptoms of chronic prostatitis.
Signs of the disease may decrease or intensify from time to time, indicating an inflammatory process. You should not hope that everything will go away by itself or self-medicate, the consequences will be sad: impotence, infertility, oncology.
A modern clinic or men's health center specializing in the treatment of chronic prostatitis has helped hundreds of patients regain sexual viability. It is important not to waste time and seek help if you are worried about the following symptoms:
- persistent pain in the perineum, radiating to the anus, lower back and inner thigh;
- erectile dysfunction;
- premature ejaculation, dullness of sensitivity during and after sexual intercourse;
- frequent urination (more than twice), especially at night;
- Constant sensation of incomplete emptying of the bladder, "slow stream. "
Depending on the stage of the disease and the individual characteristics of the body, the symptoms vary, but the pain constantly increases and intensifies. With exacerbation, painful sensations during ejaculation, weakening of the erection and infertility are added.
Modern urology distinguishes four categories of chronic prostatitis:
- acute bacterial - type I;
- chronic bacterial - type II;
- abacterial chronic - type III, (with inflammation - IIIa, without inflammation - IIIb);
- asymptomatic - type IV.
Methods for diagnosing chronic prostatitis.
If there are characteristic symptoms, the urologist can easily make a diagnosis and additionally perform a standard examination and examination.
Laboratory diagnosis helps to identify the presence of inflammation, the type of agent causing the disease and usually consists of performing and examining blood, urine and prostate secretion tests.
It is also necessary to exclude the presence of prostate adenoma, oncology, tuberculosis, since they are diseases with similar symptoms.
An instrumental examination (ultrasound or TRUS) allows you to determine what changes have occurred in the prostate gland, identify its size, density, the presence of stones and neoplasms.
Only after making an accurate diagnosis, the doctor decides how to treat chronic prostatitis in this particular case.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis.
Depending on the characteristics of the body of each patient and the causes of the disease, the treatment regimen for chronic prostatitis is drawn up individually.
Pharmacological treatment includes a complete intake of analgesics, anti-inflammatories and, in case of an infectious process, antibiotics. The most effective drugs to normalize outflow and cleanse the prostate. In addition, it is necessary to take vitamins and immunomodulators to nourish damaged tissues; in case of problems with blood circulation, venotonics, anticoagulants and anticoagulants are also prescribed.
In a modern clinic, effective treatment of chronic prostatitis includes a unique method - lymphotropic therapy. This is the introduction of drugs subcutaneously in areas located near the lymphatic vessels. At the same time, the absorption of the drug is significantly improved and the effect of the drug is enhanced, since it spreads rapidly throughout the lymphatic system and from there reaches the desired organ or tissue.
You can improve the outflow of fluid from the prostate and normalize blood circulation in the pelvic organs by enrolling in a massage for chronic prostatitis. The procedure is performed by an experienced urologist in the absence of contraindications. For men who are categorically opposed to this method of treatment, it will be useful to perform the following exercises, which also have a positive effect on eliminating congestion in the pelvic area.
- Initial position- feet shoulder-width apart and hands clasped behind the neck. As you inhale, squat down, spreading your knees to the sides as much as possible, and as you exhale, take your starting position.
- Stay still, take turns lifting your leg with your knee bent, trying to reach your chin.
- Sit on a small ball lying on the floor., stretch your legs, rest your hands, adopt a comfortable position. Roll the ball with the muscles of your buttocks and genitals, making circular movements with them.
- Lying on your back, hold the ball between your bent knees. Inhaling, squeeze your knees tighter and exhaling, relax.
Long walks and cycling also stimulate blood flow to the pelvic organs and are recommended in complex therapies.
Additional physiotherapeutic procedures that are performed on the recommendation of a doctor:
- magnetic therapy;
- phonophoresis;
- laser therapy;
- electrical stimulation.
You can get rid of chronic prostatitis, or at least weaken the syndrome, using the following proven home remedies.
- Raw pumpkin seeds or their oil. Just eat a small handful of peeled grains and use the oil to dress salads;
- Drink a decoction of dried fruits (pears) without sugar throughout the day;
- Green parsley, its seeds and juice are another popular remedy for prostatitis and impotence;
- At home, before going to bed, administer suppositories based on propolis and cocoa butter rectally for a month (sold in pharmacies).
If the course of treatment for chronic prostatitis does not bring the desired result and the patient's condition worsens, hospitalization is indicated. In rare cases, when the inflammation cannot be treated and is life-threatening, surgery is indicated.
Why is chronic prostatitis dangerous? Neglect of the disease, embarrassment and fear of seeking help from a doctor can lead to serious complications. The inflammatory process will eventually spread to the urinary system and, as a result, new diseases (cystitis, urethritis, kidney failure, vesiculitis). Prolonged inflammation of the reproductive system can lead to the formation of prostate adenoma; At first it is a benign neoplasm, but over time, without proper treatment, it can become malignant.
In addition to the above, complications of chronic prostatitis include infertility, impotence, complete depression and loss of interest in life.
Don't get to this state! The cost of treatment in any case is incomparable to the cost of your life. A good urologist will put together a treatment plan so that you feel like a full-fledged person who has had a minor problem. The duration of the course depends on your desire to recover and timely contact with a specialist. The prognosis is favorable in most cases.
After treatment of chronic prostatitis, repeated tests are performed, the results of which confirm recovery (the levels of leukocytes in the blood are normalized, the result is negative for the presence of bacterial flora in the prostatic fluid).
Recommended diet
It is important to drink enough fluid, this helps eliminate pathogenic flora and also facilitates the urination process.
The diet for chronic prostatitis excludes everything spicy, fried and salty. It is also better to eliminate alcohol and sweet soft drinks from your diet. You can only drink dry wine in small doses.
Foods should be easily digestible: fiber, whole grains, seafood. Pumpkin, sesame and flax seeds should be included in the daily menu.
