Chronic prostatitis is an inflammatory process of the prostate gland in a man with a long course (more than six months).
Usually this pathology is the result of an infectious process.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis is aimed at destroying the causative agent of the infection.
The absence of such treatment can lead to the development of various functional disorders and complications, including male infertility.
Causes of chronic prostatitis Various pathogenic (disease-causing) microorganisms lead to the development of an inflammatory reaction with its prolonged course.
There are 2 main groups of pathogens of chronic prostatitis:
- Nonspecific bacterial infection– pathogenic microorganisms that can lead to the development of an inflammatory reaction in various organs.These include streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Proteus and staphylococcus.
- Specific infection.Pathogenic microorganisms parasitize only in the structures of the male urogenital tract (chlamydia, ureaplasma, trichomonas).
Knowledge of the cause of the development of the chronic inflammatory process of the prostate is necessary for the subsequent selection of a rational etiotropic therapy.
Its goal is to destroy the pathogenic pathogen.
Other factors can also cause the development of chronic prostatitis.
Stagnation of blood in the pelvis causes insufficient oxygen exchange in the tissues of the organs.
This affects their regeneration and resistance to infections.
A general decrease in the body's protective function provokes the development of inflammation.
Lack of physical activity has a detrimental effect on human health and causes a decrease in the body's defenses.
Factors leading to the development of chronic prostatitis include problems in the patient's intimate life.
This includes stopping sexual intercourse without ejaculation, irregular sexual life and a long period of abstinence.
The consequences of injuries usually affect the condition of the genital organs.
Overwork and stressful situations can, along with other reasons, cause prostate problems.
Drinking alcohol and smoking in large quantities disrupts the functioning of the reproductive system in men.
Classification of prostatitis
There are three types of diseases:
- bacterial;
- Non-bacterial;
- Prostatodynia.
The first type is characterized by the identification of microorganisms in the secretion.
To treat this variety, antibacterial medications are needed.
Nonbacterial is a condition in which there are no bacteria in the gland secretion.
Prostatodynia is a process when the patient has complaints characteristic of prostatitis, but there are no abnormalities in the analysis of prostate secretions.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis with concomitant pathology.
Patients who have prostate problems usually have other problems.
These can be cardiovascular diseases, diseases of the respiratory and digestive systems.
For these patients, the treatment regimen will be different.
To correctly adjust the treatment, it is necessary to undergo a proper diagnosis.
For consultation in such cases, they can turn to limited specialists.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis in young people.
Before the age of 30, the cause of prostatitis is usually an infectious agent.
This is due to the lifestyle of young people.
Untimely treatment of bacterial and viral infections has an impact.
Promiscuous sexual life, neglect of hygiene and a sedentary lifestyle influence this.
Patients rarely go to the doctor at the first signs of the disease.
The disease progresses and becomes chronic.
It is worth paying attention to these problems and minimizing the risk of their impact.
For preventive purposes, an annual examination is recommended.
Treatment for obesity
The problem of extra pounds can have a negative impact on a man's internal organs.
Elevated levels of cholesterol, blood pressure and glucose cause metabolic disorders.
Lack of constant physical activity causes blood stagnation in the pelvic organs and contributes to the development of inflammation.
Timely weight loss and prevention can have a beneficial effect on overall health.
