Chronic prostatitis, classification
Inflammation can be caused by bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms; it can also be caused by hypothermia, bad habits, poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle.
Chronic prostatitis in men manifests itself in different forms:
- Infectious- development as a result of harmful effects of microorganisms
- Not infectious or stagnant- caused by congestion in the pelvis (ejaculate stagnation, prostate secretion or venous blood)
In advanced cases, when there is no treatment, the usual form of the disease can develop into chronic calculous prostatitis. With this pathology, against the background of inflammation, stones are formed in the gland itself and its channels.
Asymptomatic prostatitis is characterized by the absence of symptoms and complaints from 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
The main factors that contribute to the development of the disease:
- lack of physical activity is a direct path to impaired blood supply to the pelvic organs as a result of overload;
- unhealthy diet, fatty foods, alcohol, smoking;
- frequent restriction during sexual intercourse (for example, to avoid unwanted pregnancy of a partner) or its interruption;
- infection in the genitourinary system due to poor personal hygiene or infection through 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 pelvic organs.
Regardless of the different causes of chronic prostatitis, the symptoms appear in the same way. Most often, this is pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen.
Symptoms of chronic prostatitis
Signs of the disease may decrease or intensify from time to time, this indicates an inflammatory process. You should not wait for everything to go away on its own or self-medicate, the consequences will be sad - impotence, infertility, oncology.
A modern clinic or health center for men specializing in the treatment of chronic prostatitis has helped hundreds of patients regain sexual stamina. It is important not to waste time and seek help if you are concerned about the following symptoms:
- annoying pain in the perineum, radiating to the anus, lower back, inner thigh;
- erectile dysfunction;
- premature ejaculation, discomfort during and after sexual intercourse;
- frequent urination (more than twice), especially at night;
- constant feeling 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 is constantly increasing and intensifying. With worsening, painful sensations during ejaculation, weakening of erection and infertility are added.
Modern urology distinguishes four categories of chronic prostatitis:
- acute bacterial - type I;
- chronic bacterial - type II;
- chronic abacterial - type III, (with inflammation - IIIa, without inflammation - IIIb);
- asymptomatic - type IV.
Methods for diagnosing chronic prostatitis
If the characteristic symptoms are present, the urologist can easily make a diagnosis and also conduct a standard study and examination.
Laboratory diagnosis helps to identify the presence of inflammation, the type of causative agent of the disease and usually consists of taking 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 gland, identify its size, density, the presence of stones and neoplasms.
Only after making an accurate diagnosis, the doctor decides how to treat chronic prostatitis in this particular 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 designed individually.
Drug treatment includes a comprehensive intake of painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs and, in case of an infectious process, antibiotics. The most effective drugs for normalizing flow and cleaning the prostate. In addition, it is necessary to take vitamins and immunomodulators to nourish the damaged tissues; in case of blood circulation problems, venotonics, anticoagulants and blood thinners are additionally prescribed.
In a modern clinic, the effective treatment of chronic prostatitis includes a unique method - lymphotropic therapy. This is the introduction of subcutaneous drugs in the areas located near the lymphatic vessels. At the same time, the absorption of the drug is significantly improved and the effect of the drug improves, as it quickly spreads throughout the lymphatic system and from there reaches the desired organ or tissue.
You can improve the flow of fluids from the prostate 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 against 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.
- Initial position- feet shoulder width apart, hands clasped behind the head. As you inhale, sit down, spreading your knees to the sides as far as possible, and as you exhale, take your starting position.
- Standing still, alternately raise the leg with a bent knee, trying to reach your chin.
- Sit on a small ball on the floor, stretch your legs, rest your hands, take a comfortable position. Roll the ball with the muscles of the buttocks and genitals, making circular movements with them.
- Lying on the back, hold the ball between your bent knees. Inhaling, tighten your knees and exhaling, relax.
Long walks and cycling also stimulate blood flow to the pelvic organs and are recommended in complex therapy.
Additional physiotherapeutic procedures performed with the doctor's recommendation:
- 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. It is enough to eat a small handful of peeled grains, and use the oil to prepare 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 going to bed, administer suppositories made of propolis and cocoa butter (sold in pharmacies) rectally for a month.
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 the inflammation cannot be treated and becomes life-threatening, surgery is indicated.
Why is chronic prostatitis dangerous? Neglect of the disease, embarrassment and fear of seeking help from a doctor 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). Long-term inflammation of the reproductive system can lead to the formation of prostate adenoma, at first it is a benign neoplasm, but over time, without proper treatment, it can become malignant.
In addition to the above, complications of chronic prostatitis include infertility, impotence, complete depression, loss of interest in life.
Don't put yourself in this situation! The cost of treatment in any case is incomparable to the cost of your life. A good urologist will build a course of treatment so that you feel like a full-fledged person who had a small problem. How long the course will last depends on your desire to recover and timely contact with a specialist. The prognosis is favorable in most cases.
After treatment of chronic prostatitis, repeated tests are performed, the results of which confirm recovery (the levels of leukocytes in the blood normalize, the result is negative for the presence of bacterial flora in the prostate fluid).
Recommended diet
It is important to drink enough fluids, this helps to remove the pathogenic flora and also facilitates the urination process.
The diet for chronic prostatitis excludes everything spicy, fried and salty. It is also best to cut alcohol and sugary soda out of your diet. You can drink dry wine only in small doses.
