Chronic prostatitis is an inflammatory process of the prostate gland in a man with its long course (more than six months).
Usually this pathology is the result of an infectious process.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis is aimed at eliminating the causative agent of the infection.
Lack of such treatment can lead to the development of various functional disorders and complications, up 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 chronic prostatitis pathogens:
- Nonspecific bacterial infection- Pathogenic microorganisms that can lead to the development of an inflammatory reaction in various organs, including streptococci, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Proteus, Staphylococcus.
- Specific infection.Pathogenic microorganisms parasitize only in the structures of the urogenital tract of a man (chlamydia, ureaplasma, Trichomonas).
Knowledge of the cause of the development of the chronic inflammatory process of the prostate is necessary for the subsequent choice of rational etiotropic therapy.
It aims to destroy the pathogen pathogen.
Other factors can also become the reasons for the development of chronic prostatitis.
Stagnation of blood in the small 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 protective function of the body 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 leading to the development of chronic prostatitis include problems in the patient's intimate life.
This is the interruption of 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, in combination with other reasons, cause prostate problems.
Drinking alcohol and smoking in large quantities lead to disruption of the functioning of the reproductive system in men.
Prostatitis classification
There are three types of diseases:
- bacterial;
- Not bacterial;
- prostatodynia.
The first type is characterized by the detection of microorganisms in the drain.
To treat this variety, antibacterial drugs are needed.
A non-bacterial condition is a condition where there is no bacteria in the gland secretion.
Prostatodynia is a process in which the patient presents with disorders characteristic of prostatitis, but there are no abnormalities in the analysis of prostatic secretion.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis with concomitant pathology
Patients with prostate problems often have other problems.
These can be cardiovascular diseases, diseases of the respiratory and digestive systems.
For these patients, the treatment regimen will be different.
To properly regulate the treatment, it is necessary to undergo an appropriate diagnosis.
For the consultation of such cases, narrow specialists may be involved.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis in young people
At the age of 30, an infectious agent is often the cause of prostatitis.
This is due to the lifestyle of young people.
Untimely treatment of bacterial and viral infections strikes.
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 issues and minimizing the risk of their impact.
For preventive purposes, an annual examination is recommended.
Treatment of obesity
The problem with extra pounds can negatively impact a man's internal organs.
An increase in cholesterol, blood pressure and glucose levels leads to metabolic disturbances.
Lack of constant physical activity causes stagnation of blood in the pelvic organs and contributes to the development of inflammation.
Timely weight loss and prevention can have a beneficial effect on overall health.
