Almost all of us have heard of prostatitis, but not everyone knows what this word means.Prostatitis is an inflammatory disease of the prostate gland in men.The prostate gland is a purely male organ, therefore prostatitis is a purely male disease.It should be noted that it is one of the most common in men in the field of urology.
The prostate is located below the bladder.This body is responsible for the normal functioning of male organs and the continuation of gender.Furthermore, iron controls the level of hormones in the blood, such as steroid hormones, androgens and estrogens.
For various reasons, the prostate gland is inflamed, which leads to a decrease in the quality of life in the stronger sex.Let's try to find out what the causes of the disease and its symptoms are.
Signs and symptoms of prostatitis
Prostate symptoms in men depend on the severity of inflammation.Conditionally, 3 stages can be distinguished.
- There is a feeling of discomfort in the lower abdomen.Frequent urge to the bathroom, a burning sensation when urinating.Disorders affect the sexual sphere (weak erection, painful ejaculation, premature ejaculation during an act with a partner, a man stops experiencing an orgasm).
- Exacerbation of the disease (acute prostatitis).This type of disease is characterized by high temperature, general deterioration of the condition, pain during urination, a burning sensation and chills, a long delay in urination.
- The chronic form is characterized by an asymptomatic course of the disease or mild signs.The danger of this course of the disease is that it can worsen at any time under the influence of a certain number of reasons.

What causes inflammation of the prostate gland and what are the causes of the development of the disease?Let's try to figure it out.
Reasons
Representatives of medicine identify the following common causes of prostate gland disease in men:
- weakening of immunity;
- Hypothermia of the legs and body as a whole;
- venereal diseases.There is discharge from the head of the penis, the appearance of painful wounds, an unpleasant odor;

Also, uncomfortable narrow pants may be the reason.Sedomery, sitting work.
Also among the reasons:
- bad habits (alcohol, tobacco use);
- unbalanced diet;
- Irregular sex life.
Alcohol and cigarettes are believed to reduce the body's overall resistance to disease.An exacerbating factor is also nutritional, poorly saturated with vitamins and minerals.
These are just the main reasons.Some doctors believe that in some cases the causes of prostatitis are deeply hidden at the genetic level.
Types
Prostatitis has several classifications.Doctors share it by reasons for the occurrence, in the nature and development of the disease, by duration and concentration of the focus of the disease.Let's figure this out in more detail.
Infectious prostatitis
The danger of this disease is that the infection affects not only the prostate gland, but also neighboring organs (bladder, rectum).
The main reason is the weakening of the body's immunological forces, this can lead to this:
- diseases (AIDS, tuberculosis, diabetes and others);
- hypothermia;
- stressful situations,

Important!Sometimes it is difficult to recognize infectious prostatitis, first general signs of the disease develop, only after a while do local signs of prostatitis appear.
Bacterial prostatitis
Bacterial prostatitis symptoms are easy to detect, we have already written about them.This species is divided into acute and chronic bacterial prostatitis.The causes are bacteria of some species.These include:
- intestinal stick;
- Staphylococcus;
- Pseudomonal rod;
- Chlamydia and Trichomonas;
- Mycoplasma bacteria.
The infection penetrates the body in the following way:
- Through the urethra.This can happen with unreadable sex, as well as in the case of insufficient personal hygiene.
- Hematogenic route.The infection enters the prostate organ with infected blood.This happens with diseases such as tonsillitis, pneumonia and others.

Signs of bacterial prostatitis can be divided into general and local.

It's interesting to know!Not only the absence of sexual activity, but also an excessive amount of sexual acts can lead to the development of congestive prostatitis.This leads to a concept as sexual exhaustion.
One feature of this disease is that many men are not suspected of impaired function of the prostate gland.Symptoms of stagnant prostatitis manifest themselves gradually.
These include:
- deterioration in the quality of sexual activity;
- urination disorders;
- A feeling of pain and burning during urination and defecation.

In case of premature treatment, complications may occur in the form of a temperature rise, a long absence of urination, a feeling of weakness and disease.Prostatitis comes into a chronic form, whose treatment is much more difficult and longer.
Chronic prostatitis
Many men do not pay much attention to the manifestations of prostatitis in the early stages.These are mild pain in the bladder area, frequent desire to go to the bathroom.Violation of normal ejaculation and erection, a strong floor connects with age and is in no hurry to see a doctor.Such a frivolous attitude leads to the development of symptoms of chronic prostatitis.
Symptoms of chronic The course of the disease is similar to signs of other types of disease, however, they manifest themselves less sharply.
The danger is that chronic prostatitis often leads to the appearance of cystitis, pyelonephritis.Often the inflammation is distributed to the testicles and their appendages.This can lead to loss of male strength and infertility.
Important!To diagnose the disease, it is necessary to consult a urologist.Through tests, the doctor makes a diagnosis and prescribes medication.
