Prostatitis today is one of the most common diseases of the male genital organs: in different age groups, this disorder is detected in 20-40% of men.In recent years, doctors have noticed a deterioration of the situation, since the frequency of incidence of prostatitis has increased considerably.
Prostatitis is the general name of the group of inflammatory diseases of the prostate gland (prostate).The chronic form can occur for years unnoticed, without pronounced symptoms, but at the same time they have a negative impact on the quality of a man's life.Often it is prostatitis that is the cause of sexological disorders and male infertility.
The disease can develop at almost all ages, so it is important to listen to the signals of the body and regularly visit the urologist for preventive purposes.The timely detection of the disease is a guarantee of success and quick treatment.
Symptoms of prostatitis:
- Pain in the genital area.
- Urination disorders (rapid and/or painful, difficult urination, slow flow of urine, etc.).
- Sexual function disorders (accelerated, opaque ejaculation of orgasm, disorder of sexual desire and, consequently, weak erection).
- Infertility in some cases.
In addition, a group of non -specific manifestations is distinguished: rapid fatigue, weakness, lack of appetite, decrease in performance.
A little anatomy: prostate
Prostate (or prostate) iron is found on the bottom of the bladder between the pubic articulation and the rectum.A prostate part of the urethra passes through the fabric of the prostate.In an adult man, the mass of the prostate gland is 15-28 grams, in children of the size of the prostate gland is very small.
The prostate tissue consists of prostate glands, muscle and elastic fibers.The reduction of powerful muscle rays that surround the glandular slices during ejaculation leads to crushing a secret from them.
The prostate is strictly interconnected with the work of the testicles.The prostate gland constantly produces the secret, but stands out in the urethra in healthy men only during ejaculation and partly during urination.The secret of the prostate gland increases the mass of the seed fluid and neutralizes its slightly acidic environment, due to which the sperm becomes mobile in it.The secret of the prostate in ejaculate is about 40% of its volume.In addition to developing a secret, in the prostate gland, the metabolic assimilation and the transformation of male sex hormones, active substances - prostaglandins are carried out, which is essential for the life of a man and his sexual activity.
Due to the enormous impact of the prostate on the functioning of the reproductive system and the whole organism of a man as a whole, it is often called the second heart of a man.
The reasons for the development of prostatitis
Two groups of causes of the development of the disease are distinguished: infections and stagnation.Infectious prostatitisIt can be caused by various bacteria, viruses or mushrooms.The pathogens are more commonly not specific microorganisms: staphylococci, streptococci, E. coli, Proteus, a little less often - specific microorganisms: gonococci, trichomonas, etc.Recently, the number of Chlamydial, Micoplasmic, etc.prostatitis.
Reasonstagnant prostatitis (congestive)There is a stagnation of the secret in the prostate gland and/or in the blood in the veins of this organ, which often occurs in the following cases:
- interruption of sexual intercourse;
- adhere artificial to ejaculation with abbreviated sexual intercourse;
- Lack of regular sexual activity and long -term abstinence;
- lower ejaculation due to stress or overload;
- long stay in a sedentary session position (for example, for drivers, employees, etc.);
- against the background of a series of diseases (constipation, hemorrhoids), hypothermia;
- With alcohol abuse.
The stagnation of prostatitis goes very quickly in bacteria due to the infection.It is known that in many cases prostatitis precedes or accompanyInflammation in the urethra(urethritis).
One of the significant factors that contribute to the development of prostatitis is a systematic intake of alcoholic beverages.Alcohol causes fat degeneration of eggs and liver fabrics, which through a system of exchange of complex hormones contributes to a strong drop in the level of male sex hormones.In this case, the prerequisites for the development of the inflammatory process in the prostate gland are created.In this sense, it is particular importance in this sense is "beer alcoholism", in which the irritating effect is more pronounced.The beer directly causes the entire microflora of the parental tract (from the kidneys to the urethra) to go to an aggressive state.
Arriving: chronic prostatitis
Chronic prostatitisOften it develops as a slow inflammatory process.For a long time, sometimes calculated for years, prostatitis does not manifest itself (latent stage).But at a certain point, a sort of stressful situation for the body leads to the emergence of evident clinical manifestations.
Patients often appeal to the urologist with a complaint about itpainful painswhich are located in the perineum, sacred, external genitalia.Usually, with pain located only in the lumbosacral region, the patients themselves make an incorrect diagnosis ("root" or "osteochondrosis") and are treated without success at home.And only a careful medical examination and laboratory studies allow you to identify the cause of the disease.
The inflammation of the prostate can lead to an increase, swelling of the tissues of this organ and transfer of the prostate part of the urethra.This causes various urination disorders.The violation of the perfection of the urine through the urethra leads to a delay of chronic urine in the bladder, which, in turn, contributes to the formation of stones, inflammation of the bladder and subsequently - inflammation of the kidneys with a decrease in their function.
Prostatitis as the cause of compromised sexual functionality and male infertility
Numerous nerve finals in the prostate gland during the sexual arousal of men transmit impulses to the genital centers located in the spinal cord, who are responsible for erection and ejaculation.In chronic prostatitis, the natural course of processes is disturbed.First of all, premature ejaculation develops with normal erection.So the feeling of voluptuousness (orgasm) during ejaculation weakens and decreases.With a decrease in the production of sex hormones, the weakening of sexual desire develops.
A man's psychology is such that even minor disorders in the sexual sphere cause false fear of sexual intimacy, uncertainty in their abilities and therefore functional disorders of the nervous system.This leads to sexual neurosis and, in turn, worsens sexual function.
From reproductive violations (infertility) means the impossibility of implementing the conception.In chronic prostatitis, deep metabolic disorders are developing in the prostate gland, which lead to insufficient (in terms of quantity and quality) to develop the secret of the prostate, which is abruptlyLills the seed fluidSubstances necessary for normal life and sperm mobility.
Furthermore, with a long inflammation that flows, the cross -country capacity for spermatozoa is disturbed.And also with the normal formation of sperm in the testicles, they cannot penetrate the seed paths and further in the female genitalia.
Ejaculation disordersIn patients with chronic prostatitis, they often occur according to the type of premature ejaculation (sometimes immediately after the introduction of the penis into the vagina and even during preliminary love affection).Another, less commonly complicated, is difficult ejaculation.This makes sexual intercourse exhausting, they do not bring satisfactory pleasure and partners.
Chronic inflammatory diseases are a potential threat to permanent sexual partners.With any sexual intercourse without a means of barrier protection, a part of the infection is thrown into the sexual path of a woman.This is particularly dangerous for conception or during pregnancy, as it threatens an abnormal course of pregnancy, spontaneous abortion, artificial interruption of pregnancy according to medical reasons.
So the conclusion: prostatitis cannot be ignored in any case, it is necessary to identify this disease in a timely manner and the treatment begins.
Treatment of prostatitis
Modern medicine has accumulated a rich experience in the treatment of chronic prostatitis.First of all, the therapy is selected to eliminate the focus of inflammation in the prostate gland.In many cases, this can already lead to a significant improvement.There is also a huge arsenal of modern drugs that allow you to effectively correct sexual disorders and reproductive disorders.
Only by following the golden rules born from the decades of the works of hundreds of scientists and doctors, it is possible to heal completely:
- The treatment should be timely.The results of the treatment are better if the disease is detected in an initial phase and no complications have not yet occurred.
- Treatment should only be carried out by a qualified doctor.This guarantees the preparation of a rational therapy plan and the selection of effective drugs.
- The treatment should be complex.Satisfactory and persistent results can only be obtained by a complex of different well -established methods.These methods can be determined and selected only by a professional urologist, taking into account the characteristics of the disease in each case.
- The treatment of inflammatory diseases of the men's genital area should be carried out in tandem with a sexual partner.This is due to the fact that most inflammatory diseases are mainly sexually transmitted and when only one partner is curated by repeated infection.
- The treatment depends directly on the patient's responsibility, on how close he complies with all his doctor's appointments and recommendations.The therapy, as a rule, is associated with many characteristics, restrictions and unpleasant sensations for the patient, which requires certain volvitative, psychological and physical efforts on its part.When prescribing a treatment, the doctor explains in detail and warns of it.
Prostatitis is a complex disease and many adherence.But, like any disorder, it can be easily overcome.You just have to show attention to the signals of the body, take care of yourself and not neglect preventive visits to the doctor.Healthy and full life in all its events and areas is simple!
