Men's prostatitis has various symptoms, everything depends largely on the course of the disease.In the tissues of the prostate gland, the inflammatory process occurs for several reasons.All defects can be viruses, bacteria and even chronic diseases such as tuberculosis and pyelonephritis.
Some forms of the disease are rare and others are more often diagnosed.There are also the so -called general symptoms, but understanding classification is not that simple.
What is prostatitis and its classification
Prostatitis is an inflammatory disease that occurs for various reasons.The inflammatory process affects the tissue of the prostate gland, is characterized by discomfort, and can be the result of tuberculosis, alcoholism or obesity.
Types of prostatitis known by doctors:
- Acute bacterium - this type of disease is quite rare and is characterized by acute, pronounced symptoms.This requires inpatient treatment under the supervision of a specialist, causing sepsis or septic shock.
- Chronic bacterium - the disease often occurs without prominent symptoms, but in some cases certain symptoms of acute type of prostatitis can be observed.
- Chronic (non -bacterial) - develops in the background of neuromuscular infectious diseases or as a result of long -term inflammatory processes in the body.All the factors that led to the development of the inflammatory process were unable to create doctors.
- Asymptomatic (asymptomatic) - it can occur as a simultaneous disease, develop quickly, but do not have specific symptoms.The signs of the inflammatory process are weak.In some cases, the disease does not require treatment and passes independently after the root cause has been raised.
- Chronic granulomatic granulomatus - the background of replacement of prostate tissues with the growth of fibrous tissues and granules.However, they may be in the focus of necrosis.The disease develops as a complication after surgical intervention of the pelvic organs or as a result of the infectious process in tissues.
Classification in detail
The forms of prostatitis may have slightly different classification, according to the type of pathogen, which has led to the development of inflammation:
| Type of disease | Pathogens | Other information |
|---|---|---|
| Bacterial | Escherichia and pseudomonas sticks, streptococci, staphylococci. | Bacteria fall into the tissues of the prostate, along with lymphatic and blood flow. |
| Honor | Gonokok. | The infection occurs with unprotected sexual contact. |
| Viral | Herpes virus, cytomegalovirus, human papillomavirus. | The main danger of the disease is that the antiviral cells can actively multiply and can affect cells in the nearby organs. |
| Tuberculosis | Koch sticks. | This type of infection is dangerous in the sense that it is difficult to treat, the main - tuberculosis occurs as a simultaneous disease. |
| Fungal | The gender candidate owners. | It develops in the background of antibiotics or after an unprotected sexual relationship with a woman with the thrush. |
| Mixed | 2 Type of infection. | It is extremely rare and can be the result of 2 bacterial types. |
The type of calculation is separate, due to the formation of calculation (stones) in the tissues of the prostate and cause the inflammatory process.
A woman can infect a man with various bacteria.The infection occurs during the unprotected PA period.The partner's pregnancy increases the risks of infection during this period, in a woman, in the background of immunity weakening, the thrush often develops and, in turn, becomes the cause of fungal prostatitis.
Signs and symptoms
The first sign of prostatitis is pain during urination and increases in nature and increases as the urethra is pushed.
Main signs of prostatitis:
- Problems in the intimate sphere;
- discharge from the urethra (in rare cases, it all depends on the type of disease);
- pain during urination;
- frequent urge;
- Increase in body temperature, general signs of intoxication.
Symptoms of prostatitis increase in men.The degree of prostate tissue is gradually increased.The volume increases and the symptoms are more intense as the pain increases.
Signs of acute and chronic prostatitis
So, how the acute form of the course manifests itself, the description of the symptoms:
- The increase in body temperature to 38 degrees or higher.
- The appearance of discharge from the urethra.
- Increasing pain in the lumbar zone.
- Frequent and painful urination.
- Problems of erection.
Often the symptoms occur spontaneously, increases and accompanies the patient's general condition: decrease in appetite, general weakness, malaise and apathy.
What are the signs of the chronic type of disease:
- discomfort with erection;
- Returning pain in the groin, abdomen, testicles or even perineum;
- Difficulties arising during urination.
In the chronic form of the course, signs of prostatitis are poorly expressed in men and occurs regularly.From time to time, he disturbs the man.However, under harmful conditions, the symptoms are increased, problems with erection and urination.
The causes of illness
Causes of prostatitis in men are diverse, the inflammatory process in tissues develops with the background:
- Satisfying personal hygiene rules;
- sexual relationship with a woman with an infectious disease;
- systematic hypothermia;
- Chronic pyelonephritis or tuberculosis.
The causes of the disease are often associated with the presence of an infectious agent in the human body.The chronic inflammatory process gradually develops and affects nearby tissues in the absence of proper therapy.
Causes of prostatitis in young people:
- stress, malnutrition, lack of vitamins;
- Abstinence that is long -term;
- random sexual relationships with various women;
- Severe physical activity on the body (weight lifting).
Although the causes of prostatitis are different, urologists say there is a risk group, including people:
- Elderly.
- With reduced immunity.
- Leading sedentary lifestyle.
- Abuse of alcohol.
Chronic diseases, systematic consumption of alcohol, unusual sexual relationships - all of which can cause the inflammatory process.But if you go through a regular examination, you visit a urologist and take tests, you can never encounter this disease.
Diagnosis of the disease
Diagnosis of prostatitis takes place in several stages, which includes:
- history of history (description of symptoms that interfere with the patient);
- implementation of ultrasound of pelvic organs (prostate gland, kidneys and urethra);
- Urine analysis (general, clinical, nechiporenko, daily dose and bacteria sowing);
- smear from urethra to microflor;
- Pacporation inspection;
- Blood analysis fuch;
- Urography (if necessary, it is performed because of the toxicity of the method and the presence of contraindications).
The main way of diagnosis is a comprehensive study to identify and eliminate the cause of the disease.
Treatment methods
Treatment of prostatitis in men begins with alleviating the inflammatory process and a reduction in the intensity of the unpleasant symptoms.It can happen in several stages and may include:
- intake of antibiotics;
- implementation of physiotherapy procedures;
- Reception of diuretics, vitamins and immunomodulators.
How to treat prostatitis in men, and most importantly, what the doctor has to say.Because it all depends on the cause of the inflammation and the severity of the symptoms.
Prostatitis tablets can be distributed conditionally into multiple groups:
- anti -inflammatory drugs;
- antibacterial drugs;
- Vitamins and stimulants of the immune system.
Antibiotics are definitely prescribed, but in order to prescribe such drugs, the doctor should be sure of the diagnosis.
The drugs are taken within 2-3 weeks.If necessary, the duration of treatment will increase.But if the antibiotics had not had an adequate effect on the patient's body, therapy should be subjected to correction.
Prostate massage is a method to improve treatment efficiency.It is prescribed for stagnant phenomena of the prostate gland and is used to supplement main therapy.
Massage is the most effective when the disease is exacerbated.It helps to "save" the prostate from the secret it accumulates, thus removing the pathogenic microorganisms through the urethra.This promotes the effects of antibiotics and reducing the duration of treatment.
What physiotherapy procedures can be prescribed:
- laser treatment;
- heating;
- ultrasonic phonophoresis;
- Diadynamophoresis.
What is the risk of prostatitis if not treated
Prostatitis is dangerous to male health and what is the main danger of the disease?The situation is that inflammation develops rapidly, "grab" the prostate gland tissue, and if the disease is not treated, it can be caused:
- chronic infertility;
- fibrous changes in tissues;
- impotence (with probability up to 45%);
- Chronic kidney diseases and other nearby organs.
What is Dangerous Prostatitis Incorrectly Selected Treatment:
- In the absence of treatment, the inflammatory process may become chronic;
- Leads to the development of prostate adenoma;
- Problems of erection.
In the background of the long course, the inflammation causes poisoning, with only the signs of the patient's well and complicated the course of the disease.
Preventing prostatitis at home
Prevention of prostatitis is reduced to simple rules:
- adherence to personal hygiene;
- use of antiseptics after unprotected pa;
- modernization of sex life;
- Correction of the diet (it is worth involving meat in the diet, rich in proteins).
And preventing prostatitis in men may include taking certain drugs:
- vitamins and minerals;
- immunostimulants;
- Vegetable diuretics.
Preventive methods help prevent the inflammatory process, but do not lose alertness.
In order not to encounter prostatitis, it is worthwhile to get cold and treat viral diseases.
Inflammation of the prostate is a dangerous disease that can cause serious complications.Therefore, when unpleasant symptoms occur, contact the urologist as soon as possible, avoiding serious complications: impotence, infertility.
