Chronic prostatitis is an inflammatory process of the prostate gland in a man with a long (more than six months) course.
Usually this pathology is the result of an infectious process.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis is aimed at eliminating the cause of the infection.
The lack of such treatment can lead to the development of various functional disorders and complications, to male infertility.
Causes of chronic prostatitis Various pathogenic (pathogenic) microorganisms lead to the development of an inflammatory reaction with its long course.
There are 2 main groups of pathogens of chronic prostatitis:
- Nonspecific bacterial infection- Pathogenic microorganisms that can lead to the development of an inflammatory reaction in various organs. These include streptococci, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Proteus, Staphylococcus.
- Specific infection.Pathogenic microorganisms parasitize only in the structures of the male urogenital tract (chlamydia, ureaplasma, Trichomonas).
Knowledge of the cause of the development of a chronic inflammatory process of the prostate is necessary for the subsequent choice of rational etiotropic therapy.
It is aimed at destroying the pathogenic pathogen.
Other factors can also cause the development of chronic prostatitis.
Stagnation of blood in the pelvis leads to insufficient oxygen exchange in the tissues of the organs.
This affects their regeneration and resistance to infection.
A general decrease in the body's protective function provokes 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.
This is the interruption of sexual intercourse without ejaculation, irregular sex life, a long period of abstinence.
The consequences of trauma often affect the condition of the genitals.
Fatigue, stressful situations can, in combination with other causes, cause prostate problems.
Drinking alcohol and smoking in large quantities lead to dysfunction of the reproductive system in men.
Classification of prostatitis
There are three types of diseases:
- 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 secretion of the gland.
Prostatodynia is a process when the patient presents with complaints characteristic of prostatitis, but there are no deviations 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 disease, diseases of the respiratory and digestive systems.
The treatment regimen will be different in these patients.
In order to properly correct the treatment, it is necessary to undergo an appropriate diagnosis.
Narrow specialists can be involved for consultation in such cases.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis in young people
By the age of 30, the infectious agent is often the cause of prostatitis.
This is due to the lifestyle of young people.
Untimely treatment of bacterial and viral infections affects.
A promiscuous sex life, neglect of hygiene and a sedentary lifestyle play a role.
Patients rarely see a doctor at the first sign of illness.
The disease progresses, becomes chronic.
It is worth paying attention to these problems and minimizing the risk of their impact.
For preventive purposes, an annual examination is recommended.
Treatment of obesity
The problem of excess weight can have a negative impact on a man's internal organs.
Elevated cholesterol, blood pressure and glucose levels lead to metabolic disorders.
Lack of constant physical activity causes blood stasis in the pelvic organs and contributes to the development of inflammation.
Timely weight loss and prevention can have a beneficial effect on overall health.
