Prostatitis is a common urological disease in men over 45 years. According to statistics, since the Noi or the form of inflammation of the prostate gland the face of every other man. The disease is characterized by urination and difficulty pain. The activated form of disease is a serious problem and difficult, so treatment of prostatitis should be started without delay.
Common causes of the development of the disease
Understand what kind of prostatitis disease and why it appears, should understand the characteristics of the functioning of the prostate. This hormone-dependent organ fulfils a very important task – to ensure the viability of the sperm after ejaculation so that he can move freely to the egg. This function is provided by a special secret, which is mixed with the substance and about one-third of the amount of semen.
The reasons for the development of the disease can be divided into General, which increase the risk of inflammation, a special feature and a specific form of inflammation.
The disease develops the following reasons:
- lack of regular sexual life;
- hypothermia;
- infection of the body;
- bad habits;
- obesity;
- constipation;
- lack of exercise;
- cardiovascular disease;
- stress.
Lack of regular sexual activity leads to the development of stagnant processes, which cause inflammation. The normal functioning of the prostate still regularly and completely emptied, which can be achieved in vain through sexual intercourse. During Masturbation is incomplete emptying of the segments of the body, can not replace the natural separation of the prostate secretion than the whole during sexual intercourse.
Hypothermia to reduce the body leads to irritation of the prostate gland. This all weakens the immune system and can cause penetration of the prostate conditionally pathogenic micro-organisms, always present in the human body. Infection of the prostate gland occur in several ways:
- the blood of the son of flow, English chronic foci of infection in the body;
- the flow of the lymph nodes contagious inflammation of the pelvis;
- reverse throw urine or semen during sexual infections, cystitis renal and diseases.
Ways to have Bad indirect effect on the development of prostatitis. The fact is, that the prostate with age to be a natural change. About 50 years to slow the release of male sex hormones, the prostate increases in size. This leads to slow down of metabolism as a result and several negative factors, such as Smoking and alcohol abuse, the prospects for congestion in the body. Non-inflammatory disease, which is associated with prostate enlargement because of natural aging, has similar symptoms and is called BPH benign or benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Another factor must be the cause of the disease in men is obesity. Violation of the metabolism slows down all processes in the body. This disrupts the normal blood circulation in the prostate blood circulation of the body, to develop a stagnation in the prostate secretion. Generally, obesity leading men lack of exercise and do not follow proper nutrition. Exercise provokes poor blood circulation in the pelvis, unhealthy diet leads to constipation.
Violation of defecation, a long accumulation of feces in the bowel puts pressure on the body and the prostate irritate. During a bowel movement, hard stool through the rectum, damaging its walls. In a certain place, the prostate is almost next to the rectum, so during difficulty bowel irritation body, which in certain circumstances can be one of the causes of prostatitis. In addition to constipation, blood circulation in the pelvis, causing the development of stagnant phenomena in the prostate.
Cardiovascular disease weakens the body and stress. In the first case and the second is a violation of blood circulation, including the organs of the pelvis. Diseases of the cardiovascular system exacerbates the transport of oxygen to the body's cells and stress and interferes with the metabolism weakens the immune system. Diseases of the blood vessels negatively affect the training of the prostate, and can also varicose veins.
None of these reasons, with the exception of infectious diseases, is a fundamental factor in the development of the disease. Reasons and are unnecessary risk factors to determine the development of prostatitis, but this will increase the risk of disease. As a rule, the prostatitis in men develops when the presence of multiple risk factors. In addition, each disease is characterized by predisposing factors.
The type of the disease
To accurately understand what is prostatitis in a broad sense, knowledge regarding the causes and development of the type of the disease. In summary, there are two main types of inflammation of the prostate is the infectious and non-infectious prostatitis.
Infectious prostatitis is an acute inflammatory process of the prostate caused by an infection in the body. This disease is characterized in the form of intense symptoms, seriously affect the patient's quality of life, but enough can be successfully treated, if the patient promptly turned to the doctor. The causes of such inflammation, various viruses, bacteria and fungi. Pathology develops rapidly, within days, is characterized by a general deterioration of health and fever.
A contagious disease, the prostate tissue showing inflammation. There are several forms of this disease, different degree of participation in prostate tissue the inflammatory process. Infectious prostatitis can occur in foci of suppuration, local and prostate abscess.
Non-infectious prostatitis is a consequence of the lack of a regular sex life, the system and violations of the blood flow stagnation in the pelvic. Inflammation of the infectious nature of develops slowly and often occurs in chronic form. This type of disease is characterized by moderately severe symptoms, a prolonged period, however, are there episodes, the symptoms and which worsen symptoms of non-infectious prostatitis resemble an acute inflammatory process.
According to statistics, chronic prostatitis is diagnosed in 80% of patients in urology clinics. An acute infectious inflammation of the find in vain every five patients. This chronic noninfectious prostatitis is more closely linked to age-related diseases, because the average age of patients 45 to 60 years, and infectious inflammation is more often diagnosed in young people living active sex life.
Infectious causes of prostatitis
The prostate gland is an important male organ when the inflammation that develops in the prostate inflammation. The infectious form of the disease is a serious problem that often faced by young men. The reason that infectious prostatitis "younger" is freedom among the young and early sexual initiation.
Quite often a cause of infectious inflammation of the speaker:
- chlamydia;
- gardnerellosis;
- trichomoniasis;
- gonorrhea.
All of these are bacteria sexually transmitted diseases. Feature and the greatest danger to the health of the prostate is asymptomatic for these diseases in males. If a woman can't handle and detect the disease caused by bacteria, sexually transmitted diseases, men listed diseases specific symptoms are very rare. As a result, long the bacteria lives in the body, which affect the genital area. Under the influence of several factors (immunosuppression, hypothermia, stress) the bacteria enters through the urethra in the prostate gland. Because of the special features of the structure of the body, the inflammatory process develops very quickly.
Infections, sexually transmitted diseases, causing the development of inflammation about 10% of cases of infectious prostatitis. In other cases, are opportunistic pathogens that are always elin's man:
- Escherichia coli;
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa;
- staph;
- strep.
Prostatitis, triggered by opportunistic micro-organisms, develops quickly, and is often difficult. For example, if the causative agent is Staphylococcus aureus, and prostate to form ulcers high table abscess development. Infection of the prostate, these organisms are paid is called hematogenous the presence of focus of infection in the body. These substances can penetrate into the prostate reverse the reflux of urine from the urethra on the background of infectious cystitis or kidney disease.
Isolated fungal prostatitis. Disease This is very rare, but difficult to treat. The reason is Candida albicans. Mushroom This is a normal an important part of the intestinal flora, mucosa and man, but several reasons can lead to the development of inflammation. This is due to the growth of the population of the fungus. Infection of the prostate pathogens usually occur in the English of genital candidiasis (thrush) in men. This disease occurs on the immune deficiency can, but also sexually transmitted diseases. Fungal prostatitis for a long time asymptomatic, kun and the first marked by the appear, treatment is complicated by the fact that pathogenic microflora is rapidly developing resistance to the drug. Fungal prostatitis often becomes chronic.
Causes and characteristics of the development of non-infectious prostatitis
Discovering the symptoms of prostatitis, it is important to consult a doctor and identify the type of disease. Non-infectious prostatitis may be the result of:
- irregular sexual life;
- circulatory disorders;
- bad habits;
- physical inactivity.
The disease develops as a result of concurrent training in general, all of the above factors. The average age of patients with infectious prostatitis is 45 years.
Doctors agree that a high incidence of infectious prostatitis required pace of modern life. Most of the men are now working in sedentary work, which negates the exercise. Lack of exercise will take a massive boost, because there is no time for sports. This leads to problems with the spine, which impairs blood flow to the lower body. An unbalanced diet leads to constipation, which further violate the trophism of the prostate. The situation worsens the lack of a regular sex life, which is caused by the lack of a permanent partner or banal lack of time. The development of the disease leads to chronic diseases diseases of the cardiovascular system, such as high blood pressure, which affects men over 40 years. This If added to the constant stress and Smoking, was born a typical portrait of a man suffering from non-infectious prostatitis.
The peculiarity of this disease:
- moderate severe symptoms;
- erectile dysfunction;
- the deterioration of the fertility;
- the long-term course.
Non-infectious prostatitis is very often becomes chronic. The disease is a complex therapy, if the husband is not willing to consider lifestyle, give up ways and bad.
Factors aggravating the disease – an unbalanced diet, frequent stress, lack of timely treatment. The exact symptoms and symptoms of prostatitis depend on what form of inflammation.
Diagnosis of the disease
Find the pain, violation of ejaculation, or pain, a man should consult a doctor.
Before the examination the doctor will examine the patient and verify the complaint. Remember to tell your doctor temperature, symptoms of poisoning – this will help you to choose the right tactics research.
The diagnosis of functional disorders of the prostate are used:
- massage prostate;
- Ultrasound ultrasonic body and the rectum;
- And General biochemical blood test;
- urine;
- Ultrasound of the bladder and kidneys;
- analysis of prostate secretion;
- analysis DOG.
Primary research, which is named after all the men, with the exception of suspected acute bacterial prostatitis prostate massage. The procedure is painless, but causes psychological discomfort. Massage is that the doctor inserts a finger into the anus of the patient and the prostate feels like. Preliminary diagnosis can be made the nature of the changes the contour of the body, its density and dimensions. This involves the stimulation of the prostate from the urethra is allocated a few drops of prostatic secretion. This well will be sent to the laboratory for analysis. Such research can be identified:
- English the inflammatory process;
- the nature of the inflammation;
- the causative agent of the disease;
- sensitivity of pathogens to antibiotics.
Acute bacterial inflammation, when a man has a high temperature and a table with abscess or purulent lesions of the body, massage is against the topic of perform. With moderate inflammation in the development and early infectious prostatitis, the doctor will feel the prostate very gently, avoiding pressure intense and powerful stimulation.
Identify the type of the causative agent of acute inflammation of the urine to help here. The fact that the prostatic urethra are part of the secretions, and urine, they are washed in the poi of the urethra. The analysis gives the opportunity to distinguish between us and the prostate secretion of urine what kind causative agent of the inflammation.
