Prostatitis – this is the most common urological disease in men over 45 years old. According to statistics, with one helena noah a form of inflammation of the prostate faces every second man. The disease is characterized by disorders of urination and pain syndrome. States form of the disease represents a serious and intractable problem, so the treatment of prostatitis should start on time.
General causes the occurrence of the disease
Understand that behind the disease is prostatitis and why she appears, it is necessary to deal with the specifics of the functioning of the prostate. This hormone-dependent organ performs an important function – it ensures the viability of the sperm after ejaculation, allowing them to freely move into the egg. This function is ensured by a special secret, which is mixed with the substance and make up about a third of the volume of seminal fluid.
The reasons for the development of the disease can be divided into general, which increase the risk of inflammation, and specific, characteristic for certain forms of inflammation.
The disease develops due to the following reasons:
- lack of regular sexual life;
- hypothermia;
- injection body;
- bad habits;
- obesity;
- constipation;
- the lack of movement;
- cardio-vascular diseases;
- stress.
Lack of regular sexual life sees to the development of stagnant processes, which provoke inflammation. For the normal functioning of the prostate gland the iron should be regularly and properly emptied, what can be ensured only through sexual intercourse. When masturbation occurs emptying lobules authority that can replace the natural study of prostate secretion, as during a full-fledged sexual intercourse.
Hypothermia of the lower part of your body sees to irritation of the prostate. This weakens the overall immunity and can cause the penetration in the prostate conditional-pathogenic microorganisms are always present in the human body. Injection of the prostate happens in several ways:
- with the flow of blood, in the presence of a chronic focus of infection in the body;
- with the flow of the lymphatic circulation, in infectious inflammation of the organs of the pelvis;
- using a reverse casting of the urine helena ejaculate, when genital infections, cystitis and kidney disease.
Bad habits have an indirect influence on the development of prostatitis. The fact is that with age the prostate are natural changes. After about 50 years, is slowing down the secretion of the male sex hormones, the prostate swells in size. It sees to slow metabolism and under the influence of a number of negative factors, including smoking and alcohol abuse, appear stagnant phenomena in the organ. It is not an inflammatory disease, associated with an increase in the prostate due to the natural aging process, has similar symptoms and is called the adenoma helena benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Another factor, the performer is the cause of the development of the disease in men – it is obesity. Metabolic disorders see to a slowdown of all the processes that take place in the body. It disrupts the normal trophism of the prostate, blood circulation is disturbed body, is developing, stagnant, prostate secret. As usual, for obesity men lead a sedentary way of life, and not adhering to proper nutrition. Lack of exercise causes deterioration of blood supply to the organs of the pelvis, incorrect exclusive catering sees to constipation.
Violation of stool, a long accumulation of fecal masses in the intestines puts pressure on the prostate and irritable organ. During bowel movements, hard fecal masses are held in the rectum, damage to its walls. In a certain place of the prostate gland iron almost adjacent to the rectum, so that in time of difficulties stool occurs irritation of the authority, that under certain conditions can act one of the reasons for the development of prostatitis. In addition, when constipation is disturbed blood circulation to the organs of the pelvis, causing the development of stagnant phenomena in the prostate gland.
Cardiovascular disease and stress weaken the body. And in the first and in the second case there is an infringement of blood circulation, including in the organs of the pelvis. In diseases of the cardiovascular system impairs the transport of oxygen to the cells of the body, and stress violates all of the metabolic processes and weakens immunity. To diseases of the blood vessels, adversely affecting the function of the prostate, also can be attributed to the varicose veins.
Even one of the above reasons, with the exception of infectious diseases, is a fundamental factor in the development of the disease. Discusses the reasons are just risk factors and does not predispose the development of prostatitis, but increase the risk of this disease. As usual, prostatitis in men develops in the presence of several risk factors. In addition, for each type of disease is characterized by their precipitating factors.
Types of the disease
Understand exactly what is prostatitis, in a broader sense, will help the knowledge of the causes of development and types of the disease. Just emit two main types of inflammation in the prostate gland – is it contagious and non-transferable prostatitis.
Infectious prostatitis is an acute inflammatory process in the prostate gland, caused by infection of the body. This form of the disease is characterized by pronounced symptoms, significantly deteriorating the quality of life of the patient, but enough to successfully heal, if the patient in time turned to the doctor. The causes of this inflammation – a variety of viruses, bacteria and fungi. Pathology is developing rapidly in a few days, is characterized by an overall deterioration in well-being and fever.
When an infectious disease in the tissue of the prostate appear foci of inflammation. There are several forms of this disease, which differ according to the degree of involvement of the tissues of the prostate the inflammatory process. Infectious prostatitis can manifest itself local should suppuration and abscess of the prostate.
Non-transferable prostatitis – this is a consequence of the lack of regular sex life, systemic disorders of blood circulation and stagnant phenomena in the organs of the pelvis. Inflammation of the non-transferable nature develops slowly and often takes place in chronic form. This kind of disease is characterized by a slightly more pronounced symptoms, a long route but possible episodes, when all the other symptoms and signs of non-communicable prostatitis reminiscent of an acute inflammatory process.
According to statistics, chronic prostatitis is diagnosed in 80% of patients urological clinic. An acute infectious inflammation occurs only in every fifth patient. In this chronic non-communicable prostatitis to a greater extent refers to the age diseases, because the average age of patients, 45-60 years, and an infectious inflammation often is diagnosed in young people, who live an active sex life.
Infectious causes of prostatitis
The prostate – this is the most important male organ, when the inflammation that develops prostatitis. The infectious form of the disease presents a great challenge with which often meet young men. The reason that infectious prostatitis "younger" – it is a promiscuous sexual communication between young people and the earlier beginning of sexual life.
Quite often it is the cause of an infectious inflammation of the acts:
- chlamydia;
- gardnerellosis;
- trichomoniasis;
- gonorrhea.
All these bacteria are transmitted sexually. Function and the main danger, threatening the health of the prostate – it is asymptomatic during the disease in men. If women can timely detect and treat the disease, caused by bacteria, sexually transmitted, and that the men referred to the disease manifest themselves in specific symptoms rarely. As a result, bacteria long "lives" in the body, affects the genital guests. Under the influence of a number of factors (decrease in immunity, hypothermia, stress) the bacteria gets in the urinary channel in the prostate. Due to the nature of the construction authority, the inflammatory process develops very quickly.
Infection transmitted sexually transmitted diseases are becoming the cause of the inflammation in approximately 10% of cases of infectious prostatitis. In other cases, the cause of the act is conditional-pathogenic microorganisms, which are always in the body of a man:
- escherichia coli;
- Pseudomonas wand;
- aureus;
- strep.
Prostatitis, caused by conditional-pathogenic microorganisms, develops quickly, and often takes place in hard form. For example, if the causative agent of the disease is the abbreviation aureus, in the prostate gland consists of ulcers and a high risk of developing an abscess. Injection of the prostate by these microorganisms is going hematogenous fact that in the presence of a focus of infection in the body. These seasonings can penetrate the prostate at the return of the cast of urine from the urethra on the background of inflammation of the bladder, helena infectious diseases of the kidney.
We distinguish fungal prostatitis. This pathology occurs very rarely, but difficult to treat. The reason for the acts of the fungus species Candida albicans. This fungus is an important part of the normal microflora of the intestine and the mucus of a person, but for a number of reasons may cause the development of inflammation. This is due to the increase in population of mold. Injection prostate pathogenic microflora usually occurs in the presence of genital candidiasis (thrush) in men. This disease may occur due to immunodeficiency, but also transmitted sexually. Fungal prostatitis a long time asymptomatic, when the first symptoms appear, treatment is complicated by the fact that pathogenic microflora rapidly develops resistance to the action of drugs. Fungal prostatitis often passes into the chronic form.
The causes and specifics of development of non-communicable prostatitis
Found signs of prostatitis, it is important to timely consult a doctor and determine the type of disease. Non-transferable prostatitis can be the result of:
- irregular sexual life;
- disorders of blood circulation;
- bad habits;
- hypoaktivita.
Usually the disease develops as a result of the combined effect of all the above factors. The average age of the patients, who have non-transferable prostatitis – 45 years.
Doctors agree that the high incidence of infectious prostatitis is bound to the modern rhythm of life. Most of the men now employed on sedentary work, that it cancels out the physical activity. The lack of movement takes the gross turnovers of the lack of time on a sport That sees to problems with the spine that impair blood circulation in the lower part of your body. An unbalanced diet leads to constipation, which even more distorts the trophism of the prostate. The situation is exacerbated by the lack of a regular sexual life, which is caused by the lack of a permanent partner, helena banal lack of time. To the development of the disease lead to chronic illness and pathology of the cardiovascular system, e.g. hypertensive disease, which are susceptible to men older than 40 years. Add to this the constant stress and smoking, there is a typical portrait of a man, suffering from non-communicable prostatitis.
Feature of this disease:
- slightly expressed symptoms;
- erectile dysfunction;
- impairment of fertility;
- a long period of time.
Non-transferable prostatitis is very often passes into the chronic form. The disease hard to not fit the drug treatment, if the man is not willing to reconsider your lifestyle and give up bad habits.
Factors aggravating the course of the disease – an unbalanced diet, frequent stress, lack of timely treatment. The exact symptoms and signs of prostatitis depend on the form of inflammation.
Diagnosis of the disease
The findings of nausea, violation of ejaculation, helen pain, the man should as soon as possible, seek medical help.
Before the surveys, the doctor performs a physical examination of the patient and consider filing a complaint. You definitely need to tell the doctor about the availability of the temperature, symptoms of intoxication – it will help you to choose the correct tactics of the survey.
For the diagnosis of functional disorders of the prostate is used:
- prostate massage;
- ULTRASOUND and DROPPINGS authority;
- general and biochemical analysis of blood;
- analysis of the urine;
- ULTRASOUND of bladder and kidneys;
- analysis of prostate secretion;
- analysis of the DOG.
The primary survey, which is assigned to all of the men, with the exception of suspected acute bacterial prostatitis – it is a massage of the prostate. The procedure is painless, but it causes mental discomfort. Massage lies in the fact that the doctor introduces a finger in the anal opening of the patient and feels the prostate. The preliminary diagnosis is possible, according to the nature of the changes to the contours of the body, its density and size. When it is done by stimulation of the prostate, in consequence of which the urethra protrudes a few drops of prostate secret. This material is sent to the laboratory for analysis. Such a study allows to identify:
- the presence of an inflammatory process;
- the character of the inflammation;
- the causative agent of the disease;
- sensitivity of the causative agent to antibiotics.
In acute bacterial inflammation, when for men the temperature is high and the risk of abscess helena purulent defeat body massage perform contraindicated. When a slight inflammation of helena in the beginning of the development of infectious prostatitis, the doctor feels the prostate very carefully, avoiding strong pressure and intense stimulation.
Identify the type of pathogen, in acute inflammation helps the urine. The fact is, that in the urethra remain particles of the prostate gland secretion, and during urination are washed away from the urethra. The analysis allows to separate the secret of the prostate gland from the urine and to determine the type of pathogen inflammation.
