Chronic prostatitis, classification
Inflammation can be caused by bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms, but it can also be triggered by hypothermia, bad habits, improper diet, and a sedentary lifestyle.
Chronic prostatitis in men manifests itself in different forms:
- Infectious- formed as a result of the harmful effects of microorganisms
- It is not contagious or stagnant- caused by pelvic stasis (ejaculate, prostate discharge or venous blood stasis)
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 in its channels.
Asymptomatic prostatitis is characterized by the absence of symptoms and complaints and is detected only during examination.
The most common is the abacterial or stagnant type, diagnosed in 95% of patients.
Causes of chronic prostatitis
Basic factors contributing to the development of the disease:
- lack of physical activity is a direct path to the violation of blood supply to the pelvic organs due to congestion;
- unhealthy diet, fatty foods, alcohol, smoking;
- frequent restriction during sexual intercourse (for example, to avoid unwanted pregnancy of the partner) or its interruption;
- infection in the urogenital 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 upper respiratory tract diseases;
- endocrine diseases, hormonal imbalance;
- surgical interventions on the pelvic organs.
Despite the different causes of chronic prostatitis, the symptoms appear the same. Most often, this is pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen.
Symptoms of chronic prostatitis
The signs of the disease may decrease or intensify from time to time, which indicates an inflammatory process. Do not expect that everything will go away by itself or heal itself, 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 their sexual vitality. It is important not to waste time and seek help if you are concerned about the following symptoms:
- stabbing pain in the perineum, radiating to the anus, lower back, inner thigh;
- erectile dysfunction;
- premature ejaculation, dulling of sensitivity during and after intercourse;
- frequent (more than twice) urination, especially at night;
- a constant feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder, "sluggish flow".
Depending on the stage of the disease and the individual characteristics of the body, the symptoms are different, but the pain is constantly increasing and intensifying. In case of exacerbation, painful sensations occur during ejaculation, weakening of the erection and infertility.
Modern urology distinguishes four categories of chronic prostatitis:
- acute bacterial - type I;
- chronic bacterial - II. type;
- abacterial chronic - type III, (with inflammation - IIIa, without inflammation - IIIb);
- asymptomatic - type IV.
Methods of diagnosing chronic prostatitis
In the case of typical symptoms, the urologist can easily diagnose and, in addition, perform a standard survey and examination.
Laboratory diagnostics help to identify the presence of inflammation, the type of causative agent of the disease, and usually consist of blood, urine and prostate secretion tests.
The presence of prostate adenoma, oncology, and tuberculosis must also be ruled out, as these are diseases with similar symptoms.
Instrumental examination - ultrasound or TRUS - allows you to determine what changes have occurred in the prostate gland, determine 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 case.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis
Depending on the characteristics of the individual patient's body and the causes of the disease, the treatment plan for chronic prostatitis is compiled individually.
Drug treatment includes the comprehensive intake of pain relievers, anti-inflammatories, and antibiotics in case of infectious processes. The most effective drugs for normalizing the discharge and cleaning the prostate. In addition, vitamins and immunomodulators must be taken to nourish damaged tissues, and venotonics, anticoagulants, and blood-thinning drugs are prescribed for blood circulation problems.
Effective treatment of chronic prostatitis in a modern clinic includes a unique method - lymphotropic therapy. This is the subcutaneous introduction of drugs into the areas near the lymphatic vessels. At the same time, the absorption of the drug is significantly improved and the effect of the drug is enhanced, as it quickly spreads through the lymphatic system and reaches the desired organ and tissue from there.
You can improve the outflow of fluid from the prostate and normalize the blood circulation of the pelvic organs, if you sign up for a massage for chronic prostatitis. The procedure is performed by an experienced urologist in the absence of contraindications. Men who are categorically against this method of treatment will find it useful to perform the following exercises, which also have a positive effect on eliminating pelvic congestion.
- Starting position- feet shoulder width apart, hands clasped behind the head. As you inhale, squat down with your knees as far apart as possible, and as you exhale, return to the starting position.
- To stand still, alternately raise your legs with bent knees, try 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.
- Supine, hold the ball between your bent knees. Squeeze your knees tighter when you inhale, relax when you exhale.
Long walks and cycling also stimulate blood flow to the pelvic organs and are recommended in complex therapy.
Additional physiotherapy procedures that are performed based on the doctor's recommendation:
- magnet therapy;
- phonophoresis;
- laser therapy;
- electrical stimulation.
You can get rid of chronic prostatitis, or at least weaken the syndrome with the following proven folk remedies.
- raw pumpkin seeds or their oil. It is enough to eat a small handful of peeled kernels and use the oil to dress salads;
- Drink a decoction of dried fruits (pear) without sugar throughout the day;
- green parsley, seeds and juice is another folk 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 treatment process for chronic prostatitis does not bring the desired result and the patient's condition worsens, hospitalization is required. In rare cases, when the inflammation cannot be treated and becomes life-threatening, surgery is required.
Why is chronic prostatitis dangerous? Neglect of the disease, shame and fear of medical help can lead to serious complications. The inflammatory process eventually spreads to the urinary system, and as a result new diseases (cystitis, urethritis, kidney failure, vesiculitis) develop. Prolonged inflammation of the reproductive system can lead to the development of prostate adenoma, which is a benign tumor at first, but can become malignant over time without proper treatment.
In addition to the above, the complications of chronic prostatitis include infertility, impotence, complete depression, loss of interest in life.
Don't put yourself in this state! In any case, the cost of treatment is incomparable to the cost of your life. A good urologist will prepare a course of treatment that will make you feel like a full-fledged person with minor problems. The duration of the course depends on the desire to heal and timely contact with a specialist. The prognosis is favorable in most cases.
After the treatment of chronic prostatitis, repeated tests are carried out, the results of which confirm the recovery (the level of leukocytes in the blood normalizes, the result is negative for the presence of bacterial flora in the prostate fluid).
Recommended diet
It is important to drink enough liquid, this helps to flush out the pathogenic flora and also makes it easier to urinate.
The chronic prostatitis diet excludes everything spicy, fried and salty. It is also better to remove alcohol and sweet soda from the diet. Dry wine can only be drunk in small portions.
Food should be easily digestible - fiber, whole grains, seafood. Pumpkin, sesame and flax seeds should be included in the daily menu.
