Why is it necessary to the treatment of prostatitis?
The disease is dangerous for its consequences, which can be varied and not very bright. The acute threat to the development of an abscess of the prostate. The chronic phase later represents a danger is sclerosis of the prostate, when the prostate tissue to replace the scar tissue, and this leads to the contraction and the reduction in the size of the prostate. The prostate is the center of development of the male sex hormone that allows men to adapt to the word and feel themselves to be men. The tissue glandular gland the prostate produces the prostatic fluid, the prostate secretion and sex hormones.
Inflammation of the gland of the prostate often leads to sexual dysfunction, negatively affects the process of formation of germ cells male - spermatogenesis. Sex hormones protect the man not only from helplessness, but also prevent the development of atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction, ulcer gastric and ulcer duodenal. The gland prostate is part of the reproductive system, which is focused ancestral male function.
When the inflammation of the gland of the prostate, the prostate secretion changes in their properties, which negatively affects the sexual activity, which varies in different degrees. Typically, there is rapid ejaculation, reduced libido, has a tendency to fading of power. Often the disease is not completely, and contributes to the spread of inflammation to adjacent structures: to seminal vesicles, seed, tuber, testicles and their appendages. Its proximity to the excretory ducts of the prostate because of the penetration of the infection.
Complications, such as vesiculitis - inflammation of the seminal vesicles, colliculitis inflammation seed tuber, inflammation of the VAS deferens due to the peculiarities of the structure of the anatomical of the men. During the long-term deterioration of the fertility sperm is affected, his motor up to complete immobility, disturbed its quantitative and qualitative development. Alters the permeability for sperm cells in seed-efferent ducts. And this is a direct way to male infertility, the treatment, if it is possible, it is very difficult and long.
The presence in the centre of the pelvis permanent inflammatory focus that surrounds the urinary system and intestines, contributes to the spread of inflammation to adjacent organs of the pelvis. The new focus of infection: chronic pyelonephritis, cystitis, inflammation of the bladder, colitis. Swelling of the prostate creates problems that are absolutely not in accordance with your size. Prostatitis lowers the immune system and can weaken the body's defenses. Therefore, the prostatitis requires treatment and preventive measures.
