Prostatitis is the inflammation of the prostate tissue, its edema.This is the term that determines the inflammation of the prostate gland.

Prostate- Part of the male reproductive system that produces a specific secret that feeds and protects sperm.With the reduction of plain muscle fibers of the prostate bubbles and seeds capsule, seed liquid is released into the urethra - ejaculation (ejaculation).
Prostatitis can develop only in men.Over the past 20 years, the incidence of prostatitis has increased by half and, in the early 21st century, is suffered by almost half of the male population of Earth aged 20 to 50.It is believed that after 30 years, 30%of men suffer from prostatitis, after 40-40%, after 50 -50%, etc.
Prostatitis classification:
- spicy;
- asymptomatic inflammation;
- chronic bacterial;
- Chronic inflammatory pelvic pain.
Complaints with prostatitis:
- Several urination disorders associated with restricting the urethra lumen:
- the difficult beginning of urination;
- intermittent urination;

- The urination fell;
- a feeling of incomplete emptying of the Urinary Puck;
- involuntary leakage of urine.
- Symptoms caused by irritation of nerve endings:
- rapid urination;
- frequent urination at night;
- Urgent urination;
- Urination of small doors;
- Urine urination irrelation.
- Pain in the lower abdomen, inguinal areas, the inner surface of the hips or lumbar region, a variety of sex disorders may occur.
There are several causes of prostatitis:
- Sexually transmitted infections: chlamydia, urea, mycoplasm, herpes viruses, cytomegalovirus, trichomonads, gonococcus, Candida genus, E. coli can affect the urethra and be detected in prostate tissue;
- violation of blood circulation in the pelvic organs (stagnation in the prostate leads to its inflammation);
- Lifestyle sitting (drivers, office staff, employees);
- Long sexual abstinence interrupted by sexual relations or artificial stretching of sexual intercourse;
- impaired immunity;
- Frequent hypothermia (extreme relaxation lovers: diving, surfing, biodar and ski sport);
- Stress: mental and physical overload;
- Violation of allergic status;
- hormonal imbalance;
- Vitamin deficiency and screening elements.
Treatment of acute and chronic prostatitis
While with the therapy of acute prostatitis of difficulties, as a rule, there is no, there is not always chronic prostatitis of correction.
There is a general treatment tactic to conduct patients with acute prostatitis:
- Compliance with rest in bed.
- The appointment of antibacterial medications.
- A prostate massage prohibition, even to get a prostate secret.The ban is due to a high risk of sepsis.
- The appointment of medicines designed to normalize blood microcirculation, increasing its fluidity and viscosity.Thanks for the effect of these medications, it is possible to obtain a lymphatic and venous blood output from the inflamed gland, reduce toxic manifestations and remove decay products from the body.
- The oral reception of NSAIDs or other tablet analgesics.They are prescribed to reduce pain.
- In their practice, urologists widely use rectal candles to have an analgesic effect to reduce inflammation.They include the same components as tablet medicines, but thanks to local administration, the effect is improved.You can use prostatitis candles with purpose.
- If the patient suffers from severe body intoxication, the administration of rheological solutions, as well as detox agents and electrolytes in hospital conditions, is indicated.
- Surgical intervention is necessary if the possibility of emptying independent of the bladder is completely absent or a prostate abscess is formed.
The use of antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial prostatitis is mandatory.If the disease begins sharply, there are symptoms of intoxication, then antibacterial medications are prescribed as soon as possible, wait for the results of bacterial flora in this case, it is inadequate and dangerous.
The doctor chooses drugs from the fluoroquinolons group.This can be levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin.The similar empirical therapy is due to the fact that fluoroquinolones have activity in relation to bacteria that most often cause prostatitis -this is pathogenic flora and gram -negative enterococci.In addition, fluoroquinolons have a destructive effect on gram -positive and anaerobic bacteria, as well as in infectious atypical agents, for example, in chlamydia.Introducing the metabolic processes of protein metabolism, the antibiotic destroys its nucleus, leading to the death of the microorganism.
In addition, these drugs are very effective in terms of prostatitis treatment, as they have the opportunity to quickly penetrate prostate gland tissues and seed bubbles, accumulating there in high concentrations.The therapeutic effect also increases the fact that the prostate in an inflamed state has very high permeability.
This group of medicines is also replaced if, after 24-48 hours, since the beginning of their ingestion, the patient's condition has not improved or if he does not tolerate them well.Drugs of choice in this case are macrolyids, antibiotics of a group of cephalosporins or lincosamide.
Increasingly, prostatitis bacteria become insensitive to most modern antibiotics.For this reason, prostatitis is usually unable to heal to the end, the disease enters a chronic form.
If recovery after 14 days after the onset of drugs does not occur, the treatment regime should be adjusted again, but prostatitis treatment cannot last less than 14 to 30 days.But antibiotic appointment is performed by the doctor, focusing on the data of the disease clinical image and the results of bacteriological sowing of prostate content with determining the sensitivity of microorganisms sown to certain antibiotics.
Prostatitis complications
Non -warning prostatitis has all the chances of entering a chronic form of prostatitis and, in men over 40, a prostate adenoma can develop, associated with hormonal imbalance (after 40 years in men, testosterone production is reduced and estrogen secretion increases).
Prostate adenoma- Benign prostate hyperplasia - This is the presence of pathological benign growth of the prostate gland, located in the circumference of the urethra.
Prostate adenoma is one of the most common diseases in elderly men.
During a detailed examination, prostate adenoma signs aged 40 to 50 are observed in 25%of men, between 50 and 60 years in 50%, between 60 and 70 in 65%, between 70 and 80 years in 80%, over 80 years old than 90%of men.
Prostate Adenoma Manifestations
Prostate tissue growth with age leads to an increase in the organ, which causes narrowing of the urethra and manifests itself as the following symptoms:
- Incorrect and difficulty in urinating - urination becomes especially frequent at night.
- Weakening of the urine current is one of the first symptoms of the disease, which usually remains unnoticed to other symptoms of the disease.
- The feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder is often masked under quick urination in the morning.These men complain that despite the normal frequency of urination during the day, in the morning they need to urinate 3 to 4 times with a break of 10 to 15 minutes.
- Imperial urination (sudden, lasts -to keep) is one of the symptoms that force a man to consult a doctor.
- Dead -Vive and urine incontinence.
The main differences between prostatitis and prostate adenoma:
Prostate adenoma | Prostatitis | |
What happens in the prostate gland? | One or more small nodes are formed, which gradually grow and squeezed the urethra. | In the prostate gland tissue, inflammation develops. |
At what age does it happen more often? | Usually after 40 years.Less commonly at a younger age. | Most of the time in 20 to 40 years. |
Why does this arise? | Exact reasons are not fully established.It is considered one of the manifestations of male menopause. | The main reasons:
|
Treatment Characteristics | They use medicines in severe cases - surgical treatment (prostate -covered fabric excision). | Usually antimicrobial, anti -inflammatory and painkillers are prescribed. |
Prevention measures
There are also several recommendations that will strengthen male health:
- Physical activity.At least 10 minutes in the morning should be devoted to simple loading.The same rule is relevant in the sitting work.
- A contrast shower is also a great way to improve your well.
- As for food, it is necessary to include raw pumpkin seeds in your diet (a pumpkin -based phytopreparation, urtiga extract, palm + zinc extract and selenium in capsules. Relieves pain, restores power.
- It is necessary to refuse pickled products, especially this is true for various sauces with the addition of vinegar - mayonnaise, ketchup, salty, marinades, etc.
