Chronic prostatitis is an inflammatory process of the prostate gland in men with its long course (more than six months).
Most often this pathology is the result of an infectious process.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis is aimed at eliminating the inflammatory agent.
The lack of such treatment can lead to the development of various dysfunctions and complications, leading 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 causative agents of chronic prostatitis:
- Non-specific bacterial infection–Pathogenic microorganisms that can lead to the development of inflammatory reactions in various organs, including streptococci, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Proteus, Staphylococcus.
- Specific infections.Pathogenic microorganisms are parasitic only in the structures of the genitourinary tract of men (chlamydia, ureaplasma, Trichomonas).
Knowledge of the etiology of the development of the chronic inflammatory process of the prostate gland is necessary for the subsequent selection of rational etiotropic therapy.
It is intended to destroy disease-causing pathogens.
Other factors can also become the reason for the development of chronic prostatitis.
The stagnation of blood in the small pelvis leads to insufficient oxygen exchange in the tissues of the organs.
This affects their ability to regenerate and their ability to fight infection.
The general decline in the body's protective function leads to the development of inflammation.
Inactivity has an adverse 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 intimate life of the patient.
This is a state of interrupted intercourse without ejaculation, irregular sex life, abstinence for a long time.
The consequences of trauma often affect the condition of the genitals.
Overwork, stressful situations, combined with other reasons, can cause problems with the prostate.
Drinking alcohol and smoking in large quantities leads to disruption of the functioning of the reproductive system in men.
Classification of prostatitis
There are three types of diseases:
- Bacteria;
- No bacteria;
- Prostate failure.
The first type is characterized by the detection of microorganisms in the waste.
To treat this variety, antibacterial drugs are needed.
A bacterial state is the absence of bacteria in the excretory gland.
Prostatitis is a process when the patient presents with complaints characteristic of prostatitis, but there are no abnormalities in the analysis of prostate secretions.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis with concomitant pathology
Patients with prostate problems often have other problems.
It can be cardiovascular diseases, diseases of the respiratory and digestive systems.
For these patients, the treatment regimen will be different.
In order to properly tailor the treatment, it is necessary to undergo a proper diagnosis.
For consultation of such cases, narrow specialists may be involved.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis in young men
By age 30, an infectious agent is usually the cause of prostatitis.
This is due to the lifestyle of young people.
Improper treatment of infections caused by bacteria and viruses.
A promiscuous sex life, neglect of hygiene, and a sedentary lifestyle play some role.
Patients rarely see a doctor at the first sign of the disease.
The disease progressed to become chronic.
Attention should be paid to these issues and to minimize the risk of their effects.
For preventive purposes, an annual examination is recommended.
Treatment of obesity
Problems with extra weight can have a negative effect on a man's internal organs.
An increase in cholesterol, blood pressure and glucose levels leads to metabolic disturbances.
A constant lack of physical activity causes stagnation of blood in the pelvic organs and contributes to the development of inflammation.
Weight loss and timely prevention can have beneficial effects on overall health.
