Chronic prostatitis is an inflammatory disease of the prostate, with long-term characteristics and is difficult to treat.Unlike acute prostatitis, chronic inflammation of the prostate is not only caused by infectious drugs, but also various diseases of men's nerve and endocrine system.
What is the prostate and its function
Anatomically, the prostate is placed under the bladder and is surrounded by urinary catheters on each side.Two main functions of the prostate can be distinguished:
- Urine is a transit organ through which the prostate is the urinary tract.
- Seven forms - Identify the secret in the ureteral lumen, which provides sperm mobility and viability.
Chronic prostatitis is an inflammation of prostatitis.In most cases, the disease occurs after acute prostatitis due to ineffective treatment.
In the case of prostate damage, the secretion of prostate secretion is violated, which is one of the most difficult consequences of the inflammatory process in prostate infertility.
Prostate function is controlled by complex hormone interactions (androgen, estrogen, pituitary hormone), so invading the hormone cascade can lead to lesions in the prostate membrane.
Causes of chronic prostatitis
The main cause of chronic prostatitis is unbearable acute prostatitis.Inadequate antibiotic treatment, concomitant infections that weaken the body's immune system, and non-compliance with doctors' prescriptions are the main reasons for the transition from acute prostatitis to a chronic form.This form of chronic prostatitis is called the main one.
Between this, chronic prostatitis is distinguished, which starts independently.This form of chronic inflammation of the prostate is called secondary.
The main factors affecting the development of secondary chronic prostatitis:
- Invades the blood supply to the prostate.
- The immune system is weakened.
- alcoholism.
- Abuse of spicy food.
- Sexual disorders in men (too active sexual life or too rare sexual contact).
- Hypothermia or overheating.
- Frequent diseases of intestinal function (constipation).
- Sit on lifestyle.
In almost all cases of chronic prostatitis, the main cause of the disease is bacterial infection.Due to the above factors, the ability of bacterial infection is significantly increased, and the invasion of immunity to the organs and blood supply leads to the lack of sufficient response to the infection.This is why chronic prostatitis progresses slowly, long-term and difficult to treat.
Symptoms of chronic prostatitis
The course of chronic prostatitis is characterized by long rest and short-term aggravation periods.
During periods of calm, the disease may not show any symptoms and will not disturb the patient.Such periods can last for months or even years.During the exacerbation of chronic prostatitis, rapid urination, pain and unpleasant sensations of the perineum can be observed.Sometimes the pain succumbs to the testicles and groin.Pain decreases after long-term seating increases and exercises.The vivid symptoms of this disease are urination of the urethral diapers damaged by the patency of the prostate.After urination, the release of what So called the prostate-prostate muddy secret is often observed.Since the prostate is the center of ejaculation in males, sexual disorders are observed in chronic prostatitis.They are manifested by the loss of erectile dysfunction in the penis and the absence of orgasm.These symptoms adhere to a sufficient amount of prostate weakness to integrate prostate fluid, resulting in infertility.
A separate disease with similar symptoms is prostaglandin.In the absence of an infection in the prostate, it is different from chronic prostatitis, because the main cause of prostaglandin is a neuroendocrine disease in the body.
Diagnosis of chronic prostatitis
Diagnosis of chronic prostatitis is very difficult because the inflammation process is dull and it is difficult to prove the presence of bacterial infection.
- During the first phase of diagnosis, a finger rectal examination was performed.This diagnosis is based on a finger exam for rectal examination, through which you can break the prostate and evaluate changes in the structure of the prostate (sagging, pain, and dough).
- The second stage of diagnosis is the analysis of prostate fluid.To this end, a prostate massage was performed to stimulate the release of fluid, and the material was then examined on a microscope and bacteriologically.The presence of bacteria, lecithin granules and leukocytes in the liquid indicates prostatitis.
- Sometimes, diagnosis for accurate expression of these diagnostic techniques is not sufficient.In this case, the instrument inspection method was performed.They belong to ultrasound of the prostate (increasing or sclerosis of the glands, residual urine in the bladder) and computed tomography.In complex clinical cases, when it is difficult to distinguish between chronic prostatitis and adenoma, a biopsy of the prostate gland was performed-gland tissue was removed for histological examination.
How to treat chronic prostatitis
The treatment of chronic prostatitis should be complex, including antibacterial therapy, usually enhanced treatment and local exposure to the glands.
The main link in the treatment of chronic prostatitis is antibiotic therapy.The sensitivity of the pathogen must be determined before antibiotics are prescribed.The choice of a set of antibiotics depends on the results of the test.Most commonly, cephalosporin, large garland, and antibiotics of tetracycline antibiotics have good effects.To absorb infiltration that occurs in the prostate during chronic inflammation, hyaluronidase is turned on.The treatment process lasted on average for 15 days.Sometimes, in order to improve the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy, you must first exacerbate the slow inflammatory process in the glands by introducing immune modulators.
Medical therapy should be accompanied by local physical therapy:
- Prostate massage.
- Hot enema with chamomile infusion.
- Rectal disease.
- Rectal mud.
- Hot seating bathroom.
- Reflexology (acupuncture, laser acupuncture).
- UHF-Therapy.
The treatment process should be used in conjunction with an active lifestyle and ensures that alcohol and spicy foods are excluded.
Predictions of chronic prostatitis
Chronic prostatitis refers to a well-treated disease.In about 25% of cases, the disease can only be prevented from aggravating, but it cannot be cured.The form of chronic prostatitis is particularly difficult to treat, which can be complicated by lower agent obstruction (stenosis) of the urethra.
