Chronic prostatitis, classification
Inflammation can be caused by bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms; It can also be triggered 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 (ejaculation stagnation, prostate secretion or venous blood)
In advanced cases, when there is no treatment, the usual form of the disease can evolve into chronic calculous prostatitis. With this pathology, against the background of inflammation, stones form in the gland itself and in its ducts.
Asymptomatic prostatitis is characterized by the absence of symptoms and complaints in the patient and is detected only during examination.
The most common is the abacterial or stagnant type, 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 compromised blood supply to the pelvic organs as a result of congestion;
- unhealthy diet, fatty foods, alcohol, smoking;
- frequent restraint during sexual intercourse (for example, to avoid an unwanted pregnancy for the partner) or its interruption;
- infection in the genitourinary system due to poor personal hygiene or infection from 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 different causes of chronic prostatitis, the symptoms manifest themselves in the same way. Most often it is pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen.
Chronic prostatitis symptoms
Signs of the disease may decrease or intensify from time to time, which indicates an inflammatory process. You should not hope that everything will go away on its own 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 concerned about the following symptoms:
- dull pain in the perineum, radiating to the anus, lower back, 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 flow".
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;
- non-bacterial 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 carry out a standard survey and examination.
Laboratory diagnosis helps to identify the presence of inflammation, the type of agent causing the disease and generally consists of carrying out and examining blood, urine and prostate secretion tests.
It is also necessary to exclude the presence of prostate adenoma, oncology, tuberculosis, as these are diseases with similar symptoms.
An instrumental examination - ultrasound or TRUS - allows you to determine what changes have occurred in the prostate, identify its size, density, the presence of stones and neoplasms.
Only after making an accurate diagnosis does the doctor decide how to treat chronic prostatitis in this specific case.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis
Depending on the characteristics of each patient's body and the causes of the disease, the treatment regimen for chronic prostatitis is drawn up individually.
Drug treatment includes a comprehensive intake of analgesics, anti-inflammatories and, in case of an infectious process, antibiotics. The most effective medicines to normalize the flow 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 additionally prescribed.
In a modern clinic, effective treatment of chronic prostatitis includes a unique method - lymphotropic therapy. This involves the introduction of medications subcutaneously into areas located close to the lymphatic vessels. At the same time, the absorption of the medicine is significantly improved and the effect of the medicine is enhanced, as it quickly spreads throughout the lymphatic system and from there reaches the desired organ or tissue.
You can improve prostate fluid flow and normalize blood circulation in the pelvic organs by signing up for 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.
- Starting position- feet shoulder-width apart, hands crossed behind the neck. As you inhale, squat down, spreading your knees to the sides as far as possible and, as you exhale, take the starting position.
- Stand still, take turns lifting your leg with your knee bent, trying to reach your chin.
- Sit on a small ball on the floor, stretch your legs, rest your hands, get into 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 carried out 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 folk remedies.
- raw pumpkin seeds or their oil. Just eat a 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 bed, administer rectally for a month suppositories based on propolis and cocoa butter (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 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 medical help can lead to serious complications. The inflammatory process will eventually spread to the urinary system and, as a result, new diseases (cystitis, urethritis, renal 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 adequate 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 reach that state! The cost of treatment, in any case, is incomparable with the cost of your life. A good urologist will design a course of treatment so that you feel like a complete person who has had a minor problem. The duration of the course depends on your desire for recovery and timely contact with a specialist. The prognosis is favorable in most cases.
After treatment of chronic prostatitis, repeated examinations are carried out, the results of which confirm recovery (leukocyte levels in the blood are normalized, the result is negative for the presence of bacterial flora in the prostate fluid).
Recommended diet
It is important to drink plenty of fluids, 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 best to remove alcohol and soft drinks from your diet. You can only drink dry wine in small doses.
Food should be easily digestible - fiber, whole grains, seafood. Pumpkin, sesame and flax seeds should be included in the daily menu.
