Chronic prostatitis is an inflammatory process of the prostate gland in a man with a long-term (more than six months) course.
Usually this pathology is the result of an infectious process.
The treatment of chronic prostatitis aims to destroy the causative agent of the infection.
The absence of such treatment can lead to the development of various functional disorders and complications, including male infertility.
Causes of chronic prostatitis Various pathogenic (diseases) microorganisms lead to the development of an inflammatory reaction with its long course.
There are 2 main groups of pathogens of chronic prostatitis:
- Non-specific bacterial infection– pathogenic microorganisms that can lead to the development of an inflammatory reaction in various organs.These include streptococci, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Proteus and staphylococci.
- Specific infection.Pathogenic microorganisms parasitize only the structures of the male urogenital system (chlamydia, ureaplasma, trichomonas).
Knowledge of the cause of the development of the chronic inflammatory process of the prostate is necessary for the subsequent selection of the rational etiological treatment.
It aims to destroy the pathogenic pathogen.
Other factors can also cause the development of chronic prostatitis.
Blood stagnation in the 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 causes the development of inflammation.
Lack of physical activity has negative effects 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 intimate life of the patient.
This includes cessation of intercourse without ejaculation, an irregular sex life and a long period of abstinence.
The consequences of injuries often affect the state of the genitals.
Overwork and stressful situations can, along with other reasons, cause prostate problems.
Drinking alcohol and smoking in large quantities leads to disruption of the function 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 identification of microorganisms in the discharge.
To treat this variety, antibacterial drugs are needed.
Non-bacterial is a condition in which no bacteria are present in the secretion of the gland.
Prostatodynia is a process in which the patient presents with complaining features of prostatitis, but there are no abnormalities in the analysis of prostate secretions.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis with accompanying pathology
Patients who present with prostate problems often have other problems.
These can be cardiovascular diseases, diseases of the respiratory and digestive systems.
For such patients, the treatment regimen will be different.
In order to properly adjust the treatment, it is necessary to undergo a proper diagnosis.
For consultation in such cases, close specialists may be involved.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis in young people
Under the age of 30, the causes of prostatitis will often be an infectious agent.
This is due to the lifestyle of young people.
Not treating bacterial and viral infections in time has an impact.
An unrestrained sex life, neglect of hygiene and a sedentary lifestyle play a role.
Patients rarely visit 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.
For preventive reasons, an annual examination is recommended.
Treatment for obesity
The problem of being overweight can have a negative impact on a man's internal organs.
Elevated levels of cholesterol, blood pressure and glucose lead to metabolic disorders.
Lack of constant physical activity causes stagnation of blood in the pelvic organs and contributes to the development of inflammation.
Early weight loss and prevention can have a beneficial effect on overall health.
