The last few decades to celebrate the increase in the incidence of prostatitis. Communication is tracked with increased resistance of microbial pathogens to antibacterial agents, as well as with the growing up freedom of sexual relations.
The causes of the disease
It is caused by inflammation of the tissue of the prostate gland, a purely men's pathology. The prostate is located under the bladder, as is the clutch refers to the urethra.
The inflammation can be infectious and notinfekční nature. In the first case, the representatives are:
- Infections transmitted sexually.
- Non-specific activators of chronic foci of.
- Nosocomial infection acquired during surgery.
Non-communicable form of the disease occurs when the stagnation of blood in the small pelvis, prolonged abstinence, excessive sexual activity, reduced immunity, hypothermia, alcohol abuse. In the development of prostatitis in men of his treatment of medicines is carried out in the first place
Classification
Basic types:
- Acute.
- Chronic bacterial.
- Chronic prostatitis/syndrome of chronic pelvic pain.
- Asymptomatic chronic.
What happens when acute diseases
The tissue of the prostate they get the bacteria. Most often, they are representatives of conditionally-pathogenic flora – escherichia coli, staphylococci, Klebsiella, Proteus.
In the reduction of the immune defense are created good conditions for their breeding: prostate juice is a concentrate of nutritive substances, glucose, vitamins, which dilutes the sperm and promote the viability of the sperm.
The waste products of bacteria and they themselves cause an inflammatory response – from the blood moving leukocytes, through the wall of the blood vessels is leaking liquid part of the blood, develops swelling, of iron increases in size, stronger squeezes the urethra. Microbial toxins increase the body temperature, they develop symptoms of intoxication.
The symptoms of the disease
Symptoms of prostatitis in men, and its symptoms appear gradually. Starts to bother chills, increased body temperature, fever. Intoxication increases, sore muscles and joints, there is weakness, decreased performance.
The temperature in some cases may remain normal, that its increase will be noticeable when measured in the rectum. The reason – the immediate proximity of the inflammatory fire. There is pain in the area of the perineum, scrotum, radiating in the sacrum, lower back, the back passage.
The pain can be spilled in the pan, without a clear localization. When urination occurs the typical soreness – burning sensation and smarting in the urethra. The changing nature of urination. It becomes pounding, the portion of urine is reduced. Are characterized by frequent night urination. Sometimes develops acute urinary retention.
Enlarged prostate can squeeze the colon, appears constipation or pain during bowel movements. Stagnation of urine and the proximity of the infectious of the fireplace leads to the development of cystitis, when the penetration of pathogens growing trend by that in the kidney arises pyelonephritis. Other symptoms may be colorless, white or yellow-green discharge from the urethra, blood in the semen.
Methods of diagnosis
The diagnosis is rarely causes trouble, his clinical picture is typical. For confirmation of applying the digital study of the prostate through the rectum. It's palpable, they are enlarged, painful education. Also you her secrets for the analysis.
Changes in the general analysis of blood and urine will be wearing an inflammatory character. In the blood increases the number of white blood cells, ESR, in the formula increase in neutrophils. The urine may contain leukocytes, bacteria.
Necessarily units the infections transmitted sexually. The urine and the secret of the prostate to sow on a nourishing environment for the diagnosis of the flora and its sensitivity to antibiotics.
For the diagnosis of applying ULTRASOUND examination of the prostate and transrectal ULTRASOUND. Sometimes spending urethrocystoscopy, urodynamic studies, x-rays image.
Treatment
Basic principles of treatment:
- Bed rest.
- Ban on massage of the prostate.
- Antibiotics with a broad spectrum of action.
- Painkillers and anti-inflammatory agents.
- Correction of disorders of urination.
- Detoxification.
- Improving blood flow.
Antibacterial drugs should have a good penetration into the tissue of the gland, have a bactericidal, not bacteriostatic effects. This will contribute to the destruction of pathogens and prevent the transition to chronic forms.
Correction of disorders of urination
- For this purpose, use drugs from several groups.Diuretics increase urine leakage, mechanically wash the infection and products of metabolism. It is impossible to prescribe in anuria, violation of water and electrolyte balance.
- Antispasmodics eliminate spasms of smooth muscles, promotes relaxation of the bladder and urethra, warn the retention of urine. Has a slight anesthetic effect.
- Alpha-blockers make it easier to the act of urination.
Folk methods
Diagnosis of prostatitis in men and its treatment of folk remedies should wear a support character. The disease is in most cases caused by an infectious agent, and without the quality of the antibiotics to cope with it.
Listed below are the ways:
Pumpkin seeds recommend eating 30 pieces per day. They contain a lot of zinc, which is useful for men's health. You can pound the seeds to clean, grind on the grinder and mix with 200 g of honey. Take a teaspoon three times a day. The bark of the fruit of the horse chestnut is going to fall. Closed as a tea, drink that is recommended 2 times a day. A decoction of the bark or of the chestnut trees they do microclysters 250 ml twice a week. Three times a day take a tablespoon of the juice from the parsley. A few twigs of hazel with leaves cooking boiling water, boil. Pour into the pan and rise above him in the crotch. The course of treatment – a week.
If left untreated?
Can occur a festering sore of a fireplace, then arises an abscess of the prostate. In such a case the symptoms of intoxication are increasing, there is acute urine retention.
If the disease goes into a chronic, then symptoms of prostatitis in men and its treatment indulges the course. Rarely who is turning in the period of exacerbation, preferring to take pain medication and self-drink antibiotics.
But such treatment, which even more contributes to chronic diseases, the development of resistance of microorganisms. After each exacerbation of the infection penetrates all of the above in the urinary path, develops cystitis, pyelonephritis, may occur infertility. Discomfort during the focus lead to a reduction of libido and potency.
When you develop a chronic disease
The lack of treatment, on a part-time course of antibiotic treatment, decrease in immunity lead to the formation of a focus of chronic infection. Under the action of provoking factors it can escalate.
Sometimes the symptoms are expressed, is not clear. Pain is pain, muted, to disturbances of urination man gets used to it and perceives the frequent urge as a matter of course. While the focus will be changes in the analysis of urine – appearing bacteria and leukocytes.
Chronic process is dangerous because it creates an infectious fireplace, which can extend around the body under favorable conditions. It has an effect on an erection, the potency and the possibility of having children.
Prevention
For the purpose of preventing the development of disease is necessary to timely treat all infections – from colds to tooth decay and festering of the bearing. They can become a source of infection to other organs.
For this disease, has the importance of the sexual life. Bad influence long-lasting abstinence – occurs stagnation of secretion, blood circulation is disturbed. Frequent change of sexual partner, accidental increase the risk of acquiring infections transmitted sexually. Threat effect of withholding ejaculation, drawn-out, repetition, unfinished intercourse. Of crucial importance is the overall level of health, smoking cessation, alcohol use, physical activity.
