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.
The treatment of chronic prostatitis is aimed at eliminating the pathogen of the infection.
Lack of such treatment can lead to various functional disorders and complications, even to male infertility.
Causes of chronic prostate inflammation The long course of various pathogenic (pathogenic) microorganisms leads to an inflammatory reaction.
There are 2 main groups of pathogens of chronic prostatitis:
- Non-specific bacterial infection–Pathogenic microorganisms that can lead to 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 human urogenital tract (chlamydia, ureaplasma, Trichomonas).
The subsequent choice of rational etiotropic therapy requires knowledge of the cause of the chronic inflammatory process in the prostate.
Its purpose is to destroy the pathogen pathogen.
Other factors may also be the cause 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 infections.
A general decrease in the body’s defense 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 ability to defend itself.
Factors leading to the development of chronic prostatitis include problems with the patient’s intimate life.
It is the interruption of sexual intercourse without ejaculation, irregular sex life, long abstinence.
The consequences of trauma often affect the condition of the genitals.
Overload, stressful situations, among other causes, can cause prostate problems.
Alcohol consumption and heavy smoking lead to disruption 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 type.
A non-bacterial condition is a condition in which there are no bacteria in the secretion of the gland.
Prostatodynia is a process in which the 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
Other problems often occur in patients with prostate problems.
These can be diseases of the cardiovascular system, diseases of the respiratory system and the digestive system.
The therapeutic regimen for these patients will be different.
Appropriate diagnosis should be made to properly adjust treatment.
Narrow professionals can be involved in consulting such cases.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis in young people
By the age of 30, an infectious agent often causes inflammation of the prostate.
This is due to the lifestyle of young people.
It is affected by the timely treatment of bacterial and viral infections.
Sex life, neglect of hygiene and a sedentary lifestyle play an important role.
Patients rarely see a doctor at the first signs of the disease.
The disease progresses and becomes chronic.
It is worth paying attention to these problems and minimizing the risk of their impact.
An annual examination is recommended for prevention purposes.
Treatment of obesity
The problem of extra pounds can negatively affect a person’s internal organs.
Elevated cholesterol, blood pressure, and glucose levels lead to metabolic disorders.
Lack of constant physical activity causes blood stagnation in the pelvic organs and contributes to the development of inflammation.
Timely weight loss and prevention can have a beneficial effect on your health.
