Prostatitis today is one of the most common diseases of male genitals: in different age groups, this disease is detected in 20 to 40% of men.In recent years, doctors have observed a deterioration of the situation, as the frequency of prostatitis has increased markedly.
Prostatitis is the general name of the inflammatory group of prostate gland (prostate) diseases.Chronic form can occur for unnoticed years, without pronounced symptoms, but at the same time have a negative impact on a man's quality of life.It is often prostatitis which is the cause of sexual disorders and male infertility.
The disease can develop at almost any age, so it is important to hear the signs of the body and regularly visit the urologist for preventive purposes.Oporne detection of the disease is a guarantee of successful and rapid cure.
Prostatitis symptoms:
- Pain in the genital area.
- Urination disorders (rapid and/or painful, urinating, slow urine flow, etc.).
- Sexual function disorders (accelerated ejaculation, monotonous orgasm, sexual desire disorder and, as a result, weak erection).
- Infertility in some cases.
In addition, a group of nonspecific manifestations of the disease is distinguished: fast fatigue, weakness, lack of appetite, decreased performance.
A little about anatomy: prostate
Prostate (or prostate) iron is located under the bottom of the bladder between the pubic joint and the rectum.A prostatic part of the urethra goes through the prostate tissue.In an adult man, the prostate mass is 15 to 28 grams, in children the size of the prostate gland is very small.
Prostate tissue consists of prostatic glands, muscle and elastic fibers.The reduction of powerful muscle beams around the glandular slices during ejaculation leads to squeezing a secret of them.
The prostate is closely interconnected with the work of the testicles.The prostate gland produces the secret constantly, but stands out in the urethra in healthy men only during ejaculation and partially during urination.The secret of the prostate gland increases the mass of seed fluid and neutralizes its lightly acidic environment as a result of which sperm becomes movable.The secret of the prostate in the ejaculate is about 40% of its volume.In addition to developing a secret, in the prostate gland, metabolic assimilation and the transformation of male sex hormones, active substances - prostaglandins are performed, 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 disease development are distinguished: infections and stagnation.Infectious prostatitisIt can be caused by various bacteria, viruses or mushrooms.The pathogens most commonly are non -specific microorganisms: staphylococci, streptococci, E. coli, proteus, a little less frequently - specific microorganisms: gonococci, trichomonas etc.Recently, the number of clamidio, mycoplasmic, etc., increased.Prostatitis.
ReasonStagnated (congestive) prostatitis)There is a stagnation of the secrecy in the prostate and/or blood in the veins of this organ, which occurs more often in the following cases:
- interruption of sexual intercourse;
- adherence artificial to ejaculation with reduced sex;
- Lack of regular sexual activity and long -term abstinence;
- lower ejaculation due to stress or overwork;
- Long stay in a sedentary position (for example, for drivers, office workers, etc.);
- against the bottom of various diseases (constipation, hemorrhoids), hypothermia;
- With alcohol abuse.
Prostatitis stagnation very quickly enters bacteria due to infection.It is known that in many cases prostatitis precedes or accompaniesinflammation in the urethra(urethritis).
One of the significant factors that contribute to the development of prostatitis is a systematic intake of alcohol.Alcohol causes fat degeneration of eggs and liver tissues, which through a complex hormonal exchange system contributes to a sharp drop in the level of male sex hormones.In this case, prerequisites are created for the development of the inflammatory process in the prostate gland.Particular importance in this sense is "beer alcoholism", in which the annoying effect is more pronounced.Beer directly causes the entire microflora of the genitourinary tract (from kidney to urethra) to enter an aggressive state.
Arrived: chronic prostatitis
Chronic prostatitisIt usually develops as a slow inflammatory process.For a long time, sometimes calculated for years, prostatitis does not manifest itself (latent stage).But at one point, some kind of stressful situation for the body leads to the emergence of obvious clinical manifestations.
Patients usually first appeal to the urologist with a complaint aboutpainful painswhich are located in the perineum, sacred, external genitalia.Generally, with pain located only in the lumbosacra region, the patients themselves make a wrong diagnosis ("radiculitis" or "osteochondrosis") and are treated without success at home.And only a attentive medical examination and laboratory studies enable the identification of the cause of the disease.
The inflammation of the prostate may lead to an increase, swelling of the tissues of this organ and the transfer of the prostate part of the urethra.This causes various urination disorders.Infringement of urine perfection through the urethra leads to a delay in the chronic urine in the bladder, which in turn contributes to the formation of stones, inflammation of the bladder and, later - inflammation of the kidneys with a decrease in their function.
Prostatitis as a cause of impaired sexual function and male infertility
Numerous nerve endings in the prostate gland during men's sexual arousal transmit impulses to genital centers located in the spinal cord, responsible for erection and ejaculation.In chronic prostatitis, the natural course of processes is disturbed.First, premature ejaculation develops with a normal erection.Then the sensation of voluptuous (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 smaller sexual disorders cause false fear of sexual intimacy, uncertainty in their abilities, and thus functional disturbances of the nervous system.This leads to sexual neurosis and, in turn, worsens sexual function.
For reproductive violations (infertility) means the impossibility of implementing conception.In chronic prostatitis, deep metabolic disorders are developed in the prostate gland, which leads to insufficient (in terms of quantity and quality) to develop the secrecy of the prostate, which is stronglyLills seed fluidSubstances needed for normal life and sperm mobility.
In addition, with a long fluid inflammation, the cross capacity of sperm is disturbed.And even with normal sperm formation in the testicles, they cannot penetrate the paths of the seeds and even more on female genitals.
Ejaculation disordersIn patients with chronic prostatitis, they usually occur according to the type of premature ejaculation (sometimes immediately after the introduction of the penis in the vagina and even during the preliminary affection of love).Another, less commonly complicated, is difficult ejaculation.This makes sexual intercourse, not bringing pleasure and satisfactory partners.
Chronic inflammatory diseases are a potential threat to permanent sexual partners.With each sex -free sexual intercourse, a part of the infection is thrown into a woman's sexual path.This is especially dangerous in conception or during pregnancy, as it threatens an abnormal course of pregnancy, abortion, artificial termination of pregnancy according to medical reasons.
Therefore, the conclusion: Prostatitis cannot be ignored in any case, it is necessary to identify this disease in a timely manner and treatment begins.
Prostatitis Treatment
Modern medicine has accumulated rich experience in the treatment of chronic prostatitis.First of all, therapy is selected to eliminate the focus of inflammation in the prostate gland.In many cases this can already lead to significant improvement.There is also a huge arsenal of modern drugs that allow you to effectively correct sexual disorders and reproductive disorders.
Only after the golden rules born of the decades of the works of hundreds of scientists and doctors is it possible to cure completely:
- The treatment should be timely.Treatment results are better if the disease is detected at an early stage and complications have not yet occurred.
- Treatment should be performed only by a qualified doctor.This ensures the preparation of a rational therapy plan and the selection of effective medicines.
- The treatment should be complex.Satisfactory and persistent results can only be achieved by a complex of various 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 genital area of men should be performed in conjunction with a sexual partner.This is due to the fact that most inflammatory diseases are mainly sexually transmitted and when only a partner is cured of repeated infection.
- Treatment depends directly on the patient's responsibility, how strictly he fulfills all his doctor's appointments and recommendations.Therapy, as a rule, is associated with many characteristics, restrictions and unpleasant sensations for the patient, which requires certain volitional, psychological and physical efforts on their part.When prescribing treatment, the doctor explains in detail and warns of them.
Prostatitis is a complex and comprehensive disease.But, like any disease, it can be easily overcome.You just need to show attention to the signs of the body, take care of yourself and not neglect preventive visits to the doctor.Healthy and complete life in all its manifestations and areas is simple!
