One of the serious diseases in men is prostatitis. Men are often unaware of the signs of prostatitis and attribute the discomfort to other factors, which can make the disease worse. To avoid problems, you need to know what's hiding under these signs so you can keep an eye on them in time.
Causes of Prostate Inflammation
Prostatitis refers to inflammation of the prostate gland. The prostate is a small part of the male reproductive organ. It is located under the bladder. The prostate is located around the tubes that drain urine, and due to inflammation, it interferes with the flow of urine.
After 35 years, the prostate continues to grow. This is a common phenomenon. In men over the age of 50, part of the disease is due to inflammation of the prostate leading to poor functioning of the genitourinary system.
Therefore, the larger the prostate, the more urine there is, and the organism is poisoned.
- The main reason for its increase is circulatory collapse. The root of this failure is a fixed lifestyle and excess weight.
- Infect. They can be spread through gonorrhea or urethritis and rarely enter the body after a sore throat, flu or tuberculosis.
- The prostate can also become inflamed when bacteria enter the prostate through blood, unprotected sex. Various microorganisms living on the surface of the skin, abdominal organs, receiving the necessary conditions, cause inflammatory processes.
- Injury to the organs and soft tissues of the small pelvis and poor blood circulation can affect the development of prostatitis. This mainly applies to drivers. They lead a sedentary lifestyle with stagnant blood circulation and many times the load on the pelvic organs.
- Persistent hypothermia, infrequent physical activity, chronic diseases of the genitourinary system, disruption of hormonal balance, difficulty urinating, rare sexual intercourse—all these contribute to the development of the disease.
Men who live a prolific sex life suffer from neurological and physical exhaustion, and their hormonal balance and gonads begin to malfunction, which gradually leads to less potency. It has adverse effects on male strength and unfinished sex.
- A sedentary life has adverse effects on the endocrine, nervous and cardiovascular systems. The outflow of blood in the pelvic organs gradually deteriorates, in addition, it begins to stagnate, lack of oxygen in the prostate tissue - this triggers the growth and spread of pathogenic bacteria, which can become a source of inflammation of the prostate. This is not a major source of inflammation, but plays a key role in the penetration of various microorganisms into the prostate.
- An inflamed rectum or urethra often leads to a re-infection of the prostate.
- Persistent constipation can also act as a driver of illness. Regular sexual invasion of stool can cause inflammation of the prostate.
- Immunity is far from a secondary role here. Bad habits, emotional stress, malnutrition, and overwork lead to a weakened immune system, and the male body is easily penetrated by various infectious pathogens.
- Causes of prostatitis are urinary tract infections, some sexually transmitted diseases. Chronic diseases can also be a source of prostatitis.
What indicates the development of prostatitis
You can investigate symptoms by doing standard urine and blood tests. A diagnosis will help determine the source of the disease. Microbes travel from the urea or the gut through the blood vessels to where they are necessary, disrupting the functioning of the body.
Testing cannot determine the non-bacterial form of the disease, but that doesn't mean there's no bacteria. The consequences of these two forms will not please anyone.
Symptoms of prostatitis in men are divided into two periods:
- latent (hidden)
- positive
The first period indicates mild symptoms, but this already indicates the onset of the disease. The incubation period can last for many years. It manifests as anxiety in the scrotum, sometimes in the head of the penis, anus.
Often men think it's due to mediocre overwork.
The active phase of the disease begins from the moment the pain gets worse and urinating and going to the toilet become a problem. and cannot be ignored.
first signs of prostate inflammation
Prostatitis has several stages of development. At first, it causes the urge to go to the bathroom frequently, and the process of urinating may be accompanied by pain and burning.
Pain in the lower back, groin, and pelvis begins. When the first symptoms of prostatitis appear, men need to see a doctor to avoid various complications and maintain male strength.
Signs of prostate inflammation are:
- constant urge to urinate;
- pain;
- Decreased or no erection at all.
The external symptoms of prostatitis are dysuria. Pressure may be weak, emptying of urea is accompanied by pain, and sometimes no urine. This is because the urethra is squeezed by inflamed glands.
If you don't see a doctor, the inflammation can continue to get worse and cover other organs. Tumors will inevitably form. After age 30, all men should see a specialist's office annually.
To stay healthy and avoid disease, men must:
- not too cold;
- eat a balanced diet (reduce fried foods, canned foods and alcohol);
- lead an active lifestyle;
- avoid bad habits;
- Have regular sex and avoid unfinished persistent erections.
pain
The main symptom of the disease is pain (pain, popping, pulling, compression). Pain can be mild or severe. Whereas they are most concentrated in the perineum, anus or sacrum. The cause of painful symptoms is irritation of the glands.
signs of chronic prostatitis
Discomfort, lower abdominal pain, and sometimes lower back and thigh pain, are the first signs of chronic disease. After a few days, erection problems started to appear. After sexual activity is complete, there may be mild pain in the head of the penis that goes away on its own soon.
Burning and pain in the urethra every time I go to the toilet.
Each time, these feelings only increase.
signs of acute prostatitis
This type of prostatitis is
- Cataract
- follicle
- purulent.
In the first form, the signs of the disease are inconvenience with urination, and in the next form pain in the scrotum begins and the temperature rises.
With the onset of the last form, a gland abscess begins and all previous signs are exacerbated.
treatment of disease
Treatment of prostatitis in men involves removing inflammation and congestion formation in the glands. A successful outcome of treatment is to eliminate them as quickly as possible.
To begin treatment, a diagnosis is necessary to determine the source of the problem. The doctor removes the swab from the urethra. If the result is positive, the doctor will prescribe antibiotic treatment.
The duration of treatment depends only on the extent of the infection in the body and the effectiveness of the chosen medication.
In young men, the most common cause of prostatitis is hypothermia. As a result, it becomes an acute form. To combat it, doctors prescribed antibiotic treatment.
Prostatitis caused by various types of stress is treated by a neurologist. In this case, the doctor will prescribe relaxation massage, electrophoresis, vitamin therapy. Getting rid of the disease will not work without eliminating its cause.
When symptoms of disease appear, the following treatment algorithms are used:
- Antibiotics are an integral part of treating infectious diseases. The components of the drug should have a broad range of effects.
- They may prescribe hormonal medications to restore hormone balance.
- For faster recovery, herbal medicines, physical therapy, folk methods can be used to help relieve pain and restore physical strength.
- If these methods do not help resolve the problem, intervention by a surgeon is required. Sometimes it's the only way to heal.
Both forms of male prostatitis can be treated with laser therapy. This method helps to increase the body's protective barrier and heal the acini.
Chronic forms can be treated with both lasers and drugs. In its acute form, with no apparent symptoms, the laser significantly improved the patient's condition: after several operations, the pain stopped and the patient regained an erection.
If discomfort begins to appear in the groin area, there should be no delay in seeing a doctor under any circumstances. It is better to prevent the development of the disease immediately, rather than long-term treatment, since it has received painful complications.
Going to the doctor isn't as scary as it seems, especially when it comes to health.
The most important thing is to recover quickly and live a full and rich life, not denying any of your desires and meeting all your needs.
Every man should remember and take care of his male health, especially at a young age.
