Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland.
The prostate is also prostate, only in men. A small organ performs several functions: partially responsible for ejaculation, partly for urination, partly for protection against infection. Therefore, when the prostate becomes ill, the case is not limited to pain. Problems begin throughout the genine system.
Prostatitis is contrary to the general opinion, not an age -related disease.
Increasing the prostate and its cancer are really more common in elderly men, and prostatitis can be ill at any age.
How does it happen Like most inflammatory diseases, prostatitis is acute and chronic.
Sharp - this is what started suddenly, then either passed or became chronic. As a rule, the infection in this development is to blame. Chronic - the one that manifests itself through unpleasant symptoms then soothes. This condition can last for years. Unfortunately, this is the second option that is widespread and its reasons are not only contagious. What are the symptoms of prostatitis The signs of prostatitis are slightly different depending on the type of disease. Patients will help these details a little, but the doctor needs a diagnosis to make a diagnosis. Therefore, be sure to tell you at the reception: when symptoms appear, when they disappear, which you think serves as a cause of the disease.
So, the main symptoms of prostatitis:
Pain. The prostate is located under the bladder, between the paths where the urine and the rectum pass. Therefore, due to inflammation, it can harm several places at a time: in the penis around it, in the scrotum, around the anus or even in the lower abdomen or back. The pain can occur during ejaculation or after sex. Difficulties with urination. Pain and burning appear, you should often run to the toilet, get up at night. It can be difficult to start and finish the process, it may even look blood in the urine. Disposes from the urethra. A thick liquid you haven't noticed before. Potential problems. If any of the symptoms lasts more than three months, it is already chronic prostatitis. And if in acute prostatitis all these signs are noticeable and they cannot be missed, then the chronic can only manifest with erectile dysfunction.
When to go to a doctor As soon as you notice the listed symptoms of prostatitis. It will be necessary to take tests and do research to diagnose and prescribe treatment. Some examinations are unpleasant, but certainly not more prostatitis.
You can't even delay a doctor's visit for a minute if you have Dysuria - the inability to go to the toilet. This is a dangerous condition in which the fluid continues to accumulate in the bladder. You need to move to the hospital or call an ambulance.
Where does prostatitis come from If the prostatitis is infectious, then its cause is the microorganisms that penetrate the urethra and climb to the prostate or managed to get there from other foci of infection. Often the infection clicks after unprotected sex, so we should consider preventing sexually transmitted diseases.
In all other cases, it is impossible to say exactly why the prostate is inflamed. One can only accept stagnant phenomena due to stuck work and lack of sports and the influence of bad habits.
If you have the prostate, you can get sick.
But there are risk factors that warn that health is in danger:
Age of 30 to 50 years. Any infections in the pelvic and abdominal organs (eg in the intestine). Acute prostatitis in the past. Any operations and interventions in the genotor system. Pelvic injuries. How to treat prostatitis It all depends on the reason why it appeared. If bacteria are to blame, they are destroyed by antibiotics. Usually everything is limited to this. There are rarely complications that require surgery and surgery of the prostate.
If not in the germs, they try to reduce symptoms with painkillers and special products that relax smooth muscle and help to solve urination problems. They use physical treatment, warm baths, physical education - everything that will work and will make it easier.
How not to obtain prostatitis Unfortunately, there is no one hundred percent reliable measures to prevent prostatitis, especially when it comes to a chronic disease that is not caused by infection. There is no reliable evidence that nutritional supplements, folk medicine or breakthrough methodology will protect you. Everything we cannot lean on irritating food, drink enough water to provide normal urination and prevent infections:
Follow the hygiene. Use condoms to prevent IPP. For the treatment of infectious diseases, especially urinary tract. When unpleasant symptoms occur, see a doctor immediately to start treatment as early as possible and not start the disease.
