Calculous prostatitis in men: what is it
Calculous prostatitis is a complication of chronic inflammation of the prostate gland, which consists of the formation of stones (stones) in the excretory ducts of the prostate. The peak of this pathology falls on 30-39 years. This is associated with an increase in cases of chronic prostatitis, which develops against the background of sexually transmitted diseases.
In men aged 40-59, the occurrence of this pathology may be associated with prostate adenoma (growth of glandular tissue in the prostate), and in people over 60, with the extinction of thesexual function. Depending on the cause of the formation, the calculations are true (primary) or false (secondary). The primary ones are formed in the ducts of the gland, and the secondary ones pass into the prostate from the upper urinary tract (kidneys, bladder and urethra) if the patient suffers from urolithiasis.
Calculus prostatitis is caused by inflammation of the prostate. Violation of the emptying of the prostate glands occurs due to the irregularity or lack of sexual intercourse, as well as a sedentary lifestyle. Against the background of an infection, stones form in a person, because of this, the secretion in the prostate stagnates.
In addition, the development of this disease leads to abnormal reflux of a small amount of urine from the urethra into the ducts of the prostate during the emission of urine. Due to this, the salts in the urine crystallize, thicken and turn into stones. Prostate stones are chemically the same as bladder stones:
- oxalate (appears due to the formation of oxalic acid salts);
- phosphate (formed against the background of a violation of the synthesis of phosphoric acid);
- urate (salts of uric acid are formed).
Main symptoms and types
The main symptom of calculous prostatitis is pain. It has a dull and painful character and is located in the perineum, scrotum, above the pubis, in the sacrum and coccyx. The pain syndrome is aggravated by acts of defecation (fecal excretion), sexual intercourse, physical activity and prolonged sitting on a hard surface, as well as prolonged walking.
Patients complain of frequent urination or complete urinary retention. Blood impurities (hematuria) or hemospermia (appearance of blood plasma in seminal fluid) are found in urea. People with this disease are characterized by:
- decreased libido (sexual activity);
- weak erection;
- violations of ejaculation (outflow of seminal fluid during intercourse);
- painful ejaculation.
If left untreated, patients may develop complications in the form of:
- kidney disease;
- cystitis (inflammation of the urinary tract);

Treatment
Calculous prostatitis in men is treated with antibiotics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In addition, vitamins are actively used in therapy to strengthen immunity, anti-inflammatories, prebiotics (after undergoing a course of antibiotics) and other drugs. Sometimes surgery is used to remove stones. This method is indicated when drug treatment does not give positive results for a long time.
Among the physiotherapeutic methods used:
- magnetic therapy (exposure to a magnetic field);
- laser treatment (removal of stones);
- electrophoresis (use of current);
- EHF-therapy (irradiation with low frequencies).
With calculous prostatitis, prostate massage is strictly prohibited. The most effective method is crushing stones with a laser. In a few sessions, stones can be eliminated naturally.
