Chronic prostatitis, classification
The cause of inflammation can be bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms, as well as hypothermia, bad habits, poor nutrition and a sedentary lifestyle.
Chronic prostatitis in men manifests itself in different forms:
- Infectious- developed as a result of harmful effects of microorganisms
- Non-infectious or stagnant- caused by obstruction in the pelvis (ejaculation, stagnation of prostate secretion or venous blood)
In advanced cases, in the absence of treatment, the usual form of the disease can turn into chronic calculous prostatitis. With this pathology, against the background of inflammation, stones are formed in the gland itself and in its channels.
Asymptomatic prostatitis is characterized by the absence of symptoms and complaints from the patient and is detected only during examination.
The most common is the abacterial or stagnant type, which is diagnosed in 95% of patients.
Causes of chronic prostatitis
The main factors contributing to the development of the disease:
- lack of physical activity is a direct way to disrupt the blood supply to the pelvic organs as a result of congestion;
- unhealthy diet, fatty foods, alcohol, smoking;
- frequent restriction during sexual intercourse (for example, to prevent unwanted pregnancy of the partner) or its interruption;
- infection in the genitourinary system due to non-observance of personal hygiene rules or infection through a partner;
- frequent hypothermia of the body;
- weakened immunity, constipation, inflammatory phenomena in the body, including diseases of the upper respiratory tract;
- endocrine diseases, hormonal imbalance;
- surgical operations on pelvic organs.
Despite the different causes of chronic prostatitis, the symptoms manifest themselves in the same way. Often this is pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen.
Symptoms of chronic prostatitis
The symptoms of the disease may decrease or intensify from time to time. This indicates an inflammatory process. You should not expect that everything will pass by itself or heal itself, the results will be sad - impotence, infertility, oncology.
A modern clinic or men's health center specializing in the treatment of chronic prostatitis has helped hundreds of patients regain their sexual vitality. If the following symptoms bother you, it is important not to waste time and seek help:
- radiating nagging pain in the perineum, anus, lower back, inner thigh;
- erectile dysfunction;
- premature ejaculation, dullness of sensitivity during and after intercourse;
- frequent (more than twice) urination, especially at night;
- a feeling of constant emptying of the bladder, "slow flow".
Depending on the stage of the disease and the individual characteristics of the body, the symptoms change, but the pain constantly increases and intensifies. With exacerbation, painful sensations during ejaculation, weakening of erection and infertility are added.
Modern urology distinguishes four categories of chronic prostatitis:
- acute bacterial - type I;
- chronic bacterial - type II;
- abacterial chronic - III type, (with inflammation - IIIa, without inflammation - IIIb);
- asymptomatic - type IV.
Diagnostic methods of chronic prostatitis
If there are characteristic symptoms, the urologist can easily make a diagnosis and additionally conduct a standard survey and examination.
Laboratory diagnostics helps to determine the presence of inflammation, the type of causative agent of the disease, and usually consists of taking and examining blood, urine and prostate secretion tests.
It is also necessary to exclude the presence of prostate adenoma, oncology, tuberculosis, because these are diseases with similar symptoms.
Instrumental examination - ultrasound or TRUS - allows you to determine what changes have occurred in the prostate gland, determine its size, density, the presence of stones and neoplasms.
Only after making an accurate diagnosis, the doctor decides how to treat chronic prostatitis in this particular case.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis
Depending on the characteristics of each patient's body and the causes of the disease, the treatment regimen for chronic prostatitis is designed individually.
Drug treatment includes the comprehensive reception of pain relievers, anti-inflammatory drugs and, in the case of an infectious process, antibiotics. The most effective drugs to normalize output and cleanse the prostate. In addition, it is necessary to take vitamins and immunomodulators to nourish the damaged tissues, in case of problems with blood circulation, venotonics, anticoagulants and blood-thinning drugs are additionally prescribed.
Effective treatment of chronic prostatitis in a modern clinic includes a unique method - lymphotropic therapy. This is the subcutaneous injection of drugs into areas located near lymphatic vessels. At the same time, the absorption of the drug is significantly improved and the effect of the drug is strengthened, because it quickly spreads to the lymphatic system and from there it reaches any organ or tissue.
By signing up for a massage for chronic prostatitis, you can improve the discharge of fluid from the prostate and normalize blood circulation in the pelvic organs. The procedure is performed by an experienced urologist if there are no contraindications. For men who strongly oppose this method of treatment, it will be useful to perform the following exercises, which have a positive effect on the elimination of congestion in the pelvic region.
- Initial position- feet shoulder width apart, hands together behind the head. While inhaling, squat down, spread your knees as far apart as possible and hold the starting position while exhaling.
- Stop, alternately raise your leg with a bent knee, try to reach your chin.
- Sit on a small ball on the floor, stretch your legs, relax your hands, take a comfortable position. Roll the ball with the muscles of the hips and genitals, making circular movements with them.
- Lying on the back, hold the ball between your bent knees. While exhaling, squeeze your knees tighter and relax by exhaling.
Long walks and cycling also stimulate blood flow to the pelvic organs and are recommended in complex therapy.
Additional physiotherapeutic procedures carried out on the recommendation of a doctor:
- magnetic therapy;
- phonophoresis;
- laser therapy;
- electrical stimulation.
Using the following proven folk methods, you can get rid of chronic prostatitis or at least weaken the syndrome.
- raw pumpkin seeds or their oil. It is enough to eat a small handful of peeled grains and use the oil for salads;
- During the day, drink a decoction of dry fruits (pears) without sugar;
- green parsley, its seeds and juice are another folk remedy for prostatitis and impotence;
- at home, before going to bed, apply suppositories made of propolis and cocoa butter (sold in pharmacies) rectally for a month.
If the course of treatment for chronic prostatitis does not give the desired result and the patient's condition worsens, hospitalization is indicated. In rare cases, when the inflammation cannot be treated and is life-threatening, surgical intervention is indicated.
Why is chronic prostatitis dangerous? Ignoring the disease, shame and fear of seeking help from a doctor can lead to serious complications. The inflammatory process will eventually spread to the urinary system, resulting in new diseases (cystitis, urethritis, kidney failure, vesiculitis). Prolonged inflammation of the reproductive system can lead to the formation of prostate adenoma, which is initially a benign neoplasm, but over time, if not properly treated, can become malignant.
In addition to the above, complications of chronic prostatitis include infertility, impotence, complete depression, loss of interest in life.
Don't put yourself in this situation! In any case, the cost of treatment is incomparable to the value of your life. A good urologist will set up a course of treatment so that you feel like a full-fledged person with a small problem. How long the course will last depends on your desire to recover and timely contact with a specialist. In most cases, the prognosis is favorable.
After the treatment of chronic prostatitis, repeated tests are carried out, the results of which confirm recovery (the level of leukocytes in the blood is normalized, the result is negative for the presence of bacterial flora in the prostate fluid).
Recommended Diet

Diet for chronic prostatitis excludes everything spicy, fried and salty. It is also good to eliminate alcohol and sweet soda from the diet. You can drink dry wine only in small doses.
