The last few decades marked increase in the incidence of prostatitis. The connection is plotted with the increase of the resistance of microbial pathogens to antibacterial agents, as well as with the growing freedom of sexual relations.
The causes of the disease
It is caused by an inflammation of the tissue of the prostate, especially in male pathology. The prostate is located just below the bladder, such as clutch covers the urethra.
The inflammation can be infectious and non-infectious nature. In the first case the causative agents are:
- Of sexually transmitted infections.
- Non-specific causative agents of injury chronic.
- Nosocomial infection acquired during surgery.
Non-infectious form of the disease occurs when the blood is stagnant in the small pelvis, withdrawal prolonged, excessive sexual activity, and decreased immunity, hypothermia, alcohol abuse. With the development of prostatitis in men drugs for the treatment is carried out in the first place
Classification
Main types:
- Sharp.
- Chronic bacterial.
- Prostatitis chronic/chronic pelvic pain syndrome.
- Asymptomatic chronic.
What happens in acute disease
In prostate tissue get the bacteria. Most often they are the representatives of conditionally pathogenic flora – E. coli, Staphylococcus, Klebsiella, Proteus.
To reduce the immune defense creates good conditions for their reproduction: prostatic juice is a concentration of nutrients, glucose, vitamins, which dilutes the sperm, and support the viability of the sperm.
The waste products of the germs, and they cause an inflammatory response of blood leukocytes to migrate through the blood vessel walls leaking fluid part of the blood, the swelling, the gland grows in size, more strong squeezes the urethra. Microbial toxins increase the body's temperature, symptoms of poisoning.
The signs of the disease
The symptoms of prostatitis in men and their symptoms appear gradually. Begins to annoy chills, increased body temperature, fever. Intoxication increases, pain in muscles and joints, appears weakness, reduction of work capacity.
The temperature in some cases may be normal, increased significantly when measured in the rectum. The reason is the proximity of the injury inflammatory. There is pain in the perineum, the scrotum, radiating to the sacrum, the loins, the anus.
The pain may be diffuse in the pelvis, without clear localization. When urination occurs it is characterized by pain, burning and itching in the urethra. Changing nature of urination. Becomes hurried, the urine sample is reduced. It is characterized by frequent night emergency. Sometimes develop acute retention urinary.
An enlarged prostate can squeeze the rectum appear constipation or pain with bowel movements. The stagnation of the urine and the proximity of the infectious focus, leading to the development of cystitis, when the penetration of pathogens to ascend to the kidneys occurs pyelonephritis. Additional symptoms may be colourless, white or yellow-green discharge from the urethra, the blood, the semen.
Methods of diagnosis
The diagnosis is rarely causes any difficulties with the clinical picture typical. To confirm using a digital examination of the prostate through the rectum. It is palpated as enlarged, painful education. Also, make a secret to the analysis.
The changes, in General, blood and urine will be of an inflammatory nature. In the blood increases the white blood cell count, erythrocyte rate sedimentation, in the formula increase of neutrophils. The urine may contain leukocytes and bacteria.
Be sure to check for infections, sexually transmitted diseases. The urine and prostate secretion are grown in nutrient media for the diagnosis of the flora and its sensitivity to antibiotics.
For diagnostic use of the ultrasound the prostate and ultrasound transrectal. Occasionally, urethrocystoscopy, urodynamic study x-ray image.
Treatment
Basic principles of treatment:
- The rest in bed.
- The prohibition of prostate massage.
- The broad spectrum of antibiotics.
- Analgesics and anti-inflammatory.
- Correction of disorders of urination.
- Detoxification.
- Improves the blood flow.
Antibacterial drugs should have good permeability in prostate tissue, which possess a bactericidal, not bacteriostatic. This will contribute to the destruction of the pathogen and prevent the transition to a chronic form.
Correction of disorders of urination
- For this purpose, preparations of different groups.Diuretics increase the flow of urine, mechanical wash away the infection and products of metabolism. It has not been prescribed in anuria, violation vodno-elektrolitnogo balance.
- Antispasmodics relieve smooth muscle spasm, promote relaxation of the bladder and the urethra, to prevent retention urinary. Has a slight analgesic effect.
- Alpha-blockers adrenergic compounds facilitate the act of urination.
The traditional methods of
Diagnosis of prostatitis in men and their treatment of folk remedies should be of an auxiliary nature. The disease in the majority of cases, caused by an agent infectious, but without the quality antibiotics can not cope with this.
The following are:
Pumpkin seeds it is recommended to eat 30 pieces a day. Contain a high amount of zinc, which is beneficial to the health of men. You can pound the seeds to clean, grind in a meat grinder and mix with 200 g of honey. Take a teaspoon three times a day. The bark of the fruit of the chestnut is on the verge of falling. To prepare a tea, it is recommended to take 2 times a day. A decoction from the bark of the chestnuts themselves, or make microclysters of 250 ml twice a week. Three times a day, take a tablespoon of parsley, the juice. Various branches of the hazelnut leaves brewed with boiling water, boil. Pour into a bowl and move the mouse over the crotch. The course of treatment – a week.
If it is not treated?
May form a purulent focus, then formed an abscess of the prostate. In this case, the symptoms of intoxication are increasing, there is acute retention urinary.
If the disease becomes chronic, the symptoms of prostatitis in men and their treatment of embarking on the course. Rarely asks for help during periods of exacerbation, and prefer to take the pain medication and to take antibiotic.
But this treatment is even more contributes to the chronic diseases, the development of antimicrobial resistance. After each exacerbation of the infection higher in the urinary tract, it can cause cystitis, pyelonephritis, can cause infertility. Discomfort during the exacerbation reduction of the libido and the potency.
When I developed a chronic illness
Inappropriate processing, incomplete course of antibiotics, decrease in immunity lead to the formation of a focus of chronic infection. When exposed to the precipitating factors that can worsen.
Sometimes the symptoms are not expressed. Pain is pain, dull, for the violation of urination male gets used and takes frequent urge to fact. At exacerbation there is a change in the urine – there are bacteria and white blood cells.
Chronic process is dangerous in that it creates an outbreak infection, which can spread throughout the body under favourable conditions. Affects erections, potency, and ability to have children.
Prevention
In order to prevent the development of the disease must be timely to treat infections – from colds to cavities and purulent focus. They can be a source of infection to any other organs.
For this disease is the importance of the sexual life. Bad for a long period of abstinence there is stagnation of secretions, visual blood flow. Frequent change of sexual partners, casual relationships increases the risk of sexually transmitted infections. Harmful effect on the prevention of ejaculation, prolonged, repeated, incomplete sexual intercourse. Important for the general health, stop Smoking, alcohol consumption, and physical activity.
