Chronic prostatitis is considered to be a long inflammatory process localized in the prostate gland.At the same time, one can only feel weak discomfort, so he does not always seek a doctor.Pathology has code ICB 10 - N41.1.
Forms of prostatitis
The disease develops in the case of inadequate treatment of the acute form or in the absence of any therapy.A pathology appears not only in the elderly but also in young people, which is dictated by a decrease in physical activity.The morphology and functionality of the organ deteriorates.Treatment of chronic prostatitis should begin in the presence of the first symptoms.Otherwise, the work of the gland will be disturbed forever.Therapy depends largely on what provoked the pathological process.The disease presented can be divided into several groups:
- Under the causal factor: infectious;viral;bacterium;caused by mushrooms, mycoplasma;Honors;Mixed.
- According to the pathogenetic factor, chronic prostatitis can be the following types: hematogen (infection in the prostate gland from the abnormal focus on the blood);contact with contact (through the walls of adjacent organs);lymphogen (penetration of pathogens through the lymphatic).
Prostate lesion is stagnated (stomach).It develops due to the poor outflow of the prostate secret.The liquid is stagnated and an inflammatory process occurs.If the problem is provoked by blocking the channels of the organ (stones), in this case we can talk about the type of calculation of the pathology.Chronic prostatitis is also bacterial and absolute.In the first case, the pathogen is necessarily present, the second form occurs due to mechanical damage to the gland or due to the effects of other factors, which are not pathogens.In 80% of the cases there is a abacterial option.
Reasons and provocative factors
Before men treat chronic prostatitis, experts need to know the reason for appearance.Pathology can provoke the following conditions:
- Sexual infections: chlamydia, ureaplasmosis, herpes, gonococcus, fungus;
- In the pelvic organs, the tissues of microcirculation and blood circulation;
- Urological pathology;
- the presence of infectious focuses in the body;
- hemorrhoids and chronic constipation;
- injury to the genitals or spinal cord;
- Weakening of immunity;
- tumor process;
- hormonal failure, impaired functionality of the endocrine system;
- heart failure;
- Surgery handed over, including abdominal organs.
These causes of chronic prostatitis are fundamental.And there are other negative factors that contribute to the development of the disease:
- frequent general or local hypothermia;
- inactive lifestyle;
- Long abstinence from sexual activity;
- Frequent stay in stress, mental and physical overload;
- smoking;
- alcohol consumption;
- Eating errors: frequent use of fatty foods;
- Long -term use of drugs.
You can only select the right tactic of treating chronic prostatitis by determining the reason.
The symptoms of the disease
The process of chronic form of disease is usually hidden.That is, the symptoms appear poorly, people rarely pay attention to them and do not recognize the problem until it becomes.I am ashamed and afraid to seek medical attention.However, the lack of therapy leads to serious complications, so the vision of a specialist should not be started in a long box.The manifestations depend on the stage of chronic prostatitis in people.Such general signs of the disease can be distinguished:
- Discomfort and pain syndrome that can give other parts of the body: legs, anus.The discomfort is present for more than 3 months.
- Problems with urination.This is the reason why increased prostate presses on the drainage channel.The biological fluid does not come out completely.This leads to the quick vision of the night toilet.
- Sexual dysfunction.The erection is irregular and the ejaculation is early.During sexual relationship, one can feel pain.
- Increased irritability, temperament, anxiety.
In addition, one person is physically tired, and there is an apathy that gradually develops into depressed state.The aggravation of the chronic process is characterized by the following manifestations:
- increasing pain intensity;
- combustion in the urethra;
- The urge to the toilet is common;
- increased sweating, tremor;
- Intense discomfort in the lower abdomen, rectum and perineum;
- a significant decrease in sexual activity;
- Pain syndrome in the process of emptying.
Only 2-3 signs of prostatitis can be immediately, so one is in no hurry to investigate.In this case, the process of chronic destruction continues inside the tissues.Gradually, prostate changes get an irreversible character and their liberation will no longer work.
Characteristics of diagnostics
Chronic prostatitis should only be treated after the differential diagnosis of the disease.Otherwise, the patient will prescribe drugs that may harm him.The following methods are used during the study:
- Microscopic analysis of discharge from the urethra.
- Scraping of the mucous membrane and examining it through a polymerase concept reaction.
- Microscopic and bacterial analysis of the prostate secret.
- Determination of the immune system.
- Transrectal ultrasound.The main echobonic sign of chronic prostatitis is the increase in the size and volume of the organ, the change in its structure and the presence of pathological tumors.However, such a study is contraindicated in hemorrhoids, the inflammation of the rectum, in the anus.
- MRI.The specialist gets a prostate layout.Only differential diagnosis can help professionals in the causes of the disease and the characteristics of its development.
Pathology treatment
Treatment of chronic prostatitis is a relevant process.You have to get rid of pathology for a long time and comprehensively.The system includes not only drugs, but also physiotherapy procedures and folk drugs.Many patients need the help of a psychologist.Sanatorium resort treatment is also useful in special institutions.It will not work to complete the disease if you have already crossed the advanced stage.Therapy rapidly relieves the symptoms and eliminates the cause of the disease.In addition, the patient prescribes drugs that stimulate metabolic processes.In order to increase the chances of healing, you need to nutrition for people besides drugs.The diet provides exclusion of fatty and spicy foods, canned food, smoked meats, sweets and spices.It is better to limit salt consumption.Alcohol and cigarettes are categorically prohibited.
No -drog treatment
In addition to medicines, a person will need physiotherapy.It improves the positive effect of the main scheme.Such a treatment affects not only the affected tissues, but also the bloodstream and metabolism.The main prerequisite for the success of therapy is to apply multiple techniques.The patient is usually prescribed the following procedures:
- Electrophoresis.It stimulates the regeneration properties of the affected tissues and eliminates pain.Thanks to the procedure, the drugs penetrate deeper and activate blood flow.
- Phonophoresis.
- Laser therapy.
- Magnetic treatment.
- Microwave therapy.It provokes a regenerative effect and improves metabolic processes.Nerve conductivity is restored.
- Ultrasound.It has a pronounced anti -inflammatory effect, helps to restore sexual function, and eliminates pain.
- Inductometry.
- Instillations into the urethra.
The mud bath and therapeutic against me are no less useful.All of these procedures allow them to be used both monotherapy and in combination with other devices.Thanks to physiotherapy, a lasting positive effect can be improved.The prostate massage is considered popular.It eliminates stagnant processes and improves the excretion of prostate secretion and activates microcirculation.Pathology is used more often in bacterial form.However, there are some contraindications to the following: cancer of the organ, adenoma or other formation, stones of wires, hemorrhoids or cracks in the anus.
Folk recipes
If there is a chronization of the pathological process, it should be treated.Folk drugs promote long -term remission.But they should be used early in the development of the disease.The following recipes will be effective:
- Kalanchoe leaves.It is necessary to exclude the juice from the plant and mix with the same amount of water.You should use 100-150 ml a day for a month.
- The tincture of the cord.You will need dried grass and vodka 1:10.The mixture should be administered in the refrigerator for 14 days.The medicine is taken twice daily for 15 drops.It lasts monthly during therapy.
- Pear compote.
- The juice and seeds of parsley.The ingredients can be added to the food.
- Bee pollen.Mix with water in a 1: 3 ratio.It is worth consuming 1 bottle daily.In this way, it should be treated for 1 month.
- A mixture of honey and pumpkin seeds.All parts are taken into account in equal amounts.The balls must be discarded from the resulting Gruel.They are stored in the refrigerator.The patient should eat 2-3 pieces a day.The course of therapy lasts 30 days.
- Propolis based rectums.They should be treated for at least one month.
Chronic prostatitis can fight at home, but without the intervention of doctors, the disease cannot be fully cured.In addition, such therapy lasts more than a year.
Surgical intervention
Chronic prostatitis is not the end and not a sentence.It is important for one to understand this.But if the therapy is not entirely correct, or when conservative methods have proven to be ineffective, the patient needs surgical intervention.There are many types of operations:
- Endoscopic temporary resection.It is performed under anesthesia and is considered the safest opportunity.Thanks to the procedure, prostate pressure on the urinary canal can be reduced.The recovery period lasts up to one week.
- Laser removal of affected tissues.This operation is safe and is characterized by a lack of blood loss.
- Prostatectomy.Partial or complete.At the same time, experts try to preserve the erection function of a person.
There must be some indications for surgery: lasting problems with urination, the risk of developing the oncology process, and a significant reduction in the quality of the patient's life.
Potential complications
If the start of treatment is delayed, the consequences cannot be avoided.Such complications of chronic prostatitis can be distinguished:
- urethra;
- impotence or other problems with erection;
- infertility;
- difficulty of urination;
- a reduction in or complete deficiency of ejaculate;
- cystitis, kidney impairment;
- developing a malicious process;
- the spread of the inflammatory process to the entire reproductive system;
- Rush of prostate tissues in which the affected areas cannot perform the necessary functions.
The complications of chronic prostatitis are not always able to eliminate, so it is better not to allow them.
Forecast and prevention
The prognosis depends on the stage of treatment and how effective it was.Chronic prostatitis can be cured if the patient has turned early.Otherwise, the inflammatory process exists for a long time and gradually exacerbates the quality of life of a person.The army is not taken with such a diagnosis.We can warn the appearance of pathology.Follow the following prevention rules for this:
- Don't ignore sexual hygiene.
- Try not to change sexual partners often.
- Treat urogenital diseases in time.
- It normalizes nutrition, the regularity of sex life.
- Pick up physical education, move more.
- Avoid the development of constipation.In addition, bladder emptying should be timely.
- It excludes hypothermia and overheating of the genitals.
- Avoid stressful situations, physical and mental overload.
Chronic prostatitis is a difficult disease that requires prolonged therapy.One must confess his diagnosis and cope with it.Only in this case is it can get rid of the problem.
