Chronic prostatitis is an inflammatory process of the prostate gland in men with its long (more than six months) course.
Usually, this pathology is the result of an infectious process.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis aims to eliminate the cause of the infection.
Lack of such treatment can lead to the development of various functional disorders and complications, leading to male infertility.
Causes of Chronic Prostatitis Various pathogenic (pathogenic) microorganisms cause the development of a prolonged inflammatory reaction.
There are 2 main groups of pathogens of chronic prostatitis:
- Nonspecific bacterial infection-Pathogenic microorganisms that can cause inflammatory reactions in various organs, including streptococci, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Proteus, Staphylococcus.
- Specific infection.Pathogenic microorganisms parasitize only in the structures of the male genitourinary tract (chlamydia, ureaplasma, trichomonas).
Knowledge of the cause of the development of a chronic inflammatory process in the prostate is essential for the further choice of rational etiotropic therapy.
It aims to destroy the pathogenic pathogen.
Other factors may also contribute to the development of chronic prostatitis.
Blood stagnation in the small pelvis leads to insufficient exchange of oxygen in the tissues of the organs.
This affects their regeneration and resistance to infection.
A general decrease in the body's protective function leads to the development of inflammation.
Lack of physical activity has a detrimental effect on human health and leads to a decrease in the body's defenses.
Factors that lead to the development of chronic prostatitis include problems in the patient's intimate life.
It is the cessation of sexual intercourse without ejaculation, irregular sex life, a long period of abstinence.
The consequences of trauma often affect the condition of the genitals.
Overwork, stressful situations can cause problems with the prostate along with other causes.
Alcohol intake and smoking in large quantities cause disorders of the reproductive system in men.
Classification of prostatitis
There are three types of disease:
- Bacterial;
- Non-bacterial;
- Prostatodynia.
The first type is characterized by the detection of microorganisms in the discharge.
Antibacterial drugs are needed to treat this variety.
A non-bacterial condition is a condition in which there are no bacteria in the glandular secretion.
Prostatatodynia is a process when a patient presents with complaints characteristic of prostatitis but there are no abnormalities in the analysis of prostate secretion.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis with concomitant pathology
Patients who have prostate problems often have other problems.
These can be cardiovascular diseases, diseases of the respiratory and digestive systems.
The therapy regimen will be different for these patients.
Appropriate diagnosis is needed to correct treatment correctly.
Narrow specialists may be involved in consulting such cases.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis in young people
By the age of 30, an infectious agent often becomes the cause of prostatitis.
This is caused by the lifestyle of young people.
Timely treatment of bacterial and viral infections is effective.
The role is played by the prostitute sex life, neglect of hygiene and sedentary lifestyle.
Patients rarely consult a doctor at the first sign of illness.
The disease progresses, becoming chronic.
It is worth paying attention to these problems and reducing the risk of their impact.
Annual examination is recommended for prophylactic purposes.
Treatment of obesity
The problem of extra pounds can negatively affect the internal organs of men.
An increase in cholesterol, blood pressure and glucose levels leads to metabolic disorders.
Constant physical activity does not cause blood stagnation in the pelvic organs and promotes the development of inflammation.
Timely weight loss and prevention can have beneficial effects on health.
