Chronic prostatitis is an inflammatory process of the prostate gland in a person in a long-term (more than six months) course.
Usually this pathology is the result of an infectious process.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis is aimed at destroying the underlying cause of the infection.
The lack of such treatment can lead to the development of various functional disorders and complications, including male infertility.
The causes of chronic prostatitis are various pathogenic (disease-causing) microorganisms that cause the development of an inflammatory reaction with a long duration.
There are 2 main groups of pathogens of chronic prostatitis:
- Non-specific bacterial infection- Pathogenic microorganisms that can cause the development of an inflammatory reaction in various organs.These include Streptococci, Escherichia Coli, Klebsiella, Proteus and Staphylococci.
- Specific infection.Pathogenic microorganisms parasitize only in the structures of the male urogenital tract (chlamydia, ureaplasma, trichomonas).
Knowledge of the development of the chronic inflammatory process of the prostate is necessary for the subsequent selection of rational etiotropic therapy.
It aims to destroy the pathogen pathogen.
Other factors can also lead to the development of chronic prostatitis.
Blood stagnation in the pelvis causes oxygen exchange in organ tissues.
This makes them resistant to regeneration and infection.
A general decrease in the protective function of the body provokes the development of inflammation.
Lack of physical activity has a harmful effect on human health and causes 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 ejaculation, irregular sex life and prolonged abstinence.
The results of injuries often affect the condition of the genitals.
Overwork and stressful situations, among other reasons, can cause prostate problems.
Drinking a lot of alcohol and smoking causes disruption of the reproductive system in men.
Classification of prostatitis
There are three types of disease:
- Bacterial;
- Non-bacterial;
- Prostatody.
The first type is characterized by the identification of microorganisms in the discharge.
Antibacterial drugs are needed to treat this variety.
Abnormal is the absence of bacteria in the secretion of the gland.
Prostatodynia is a process in which the patient presents complaints that are characteristic of prostatitis, but there are no abnormalities in the analysis of prostate secretions.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis with impending pathology
Patients who present with prostate problems often have other problems.
These can be cardiovascular diseases, diseases of the respiratory and digestive systems.
The treatment regimen for such patients will be different.
In order to properly adjust the treatment, it is necessary to undergo appropriate diagnostics.
In such cases, narrow specialists can be involved for consultation.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis in young people
Under the age of 30, the causes of prostatitis will often be an infectious agent.
It is related to the lifestyle of young people.
Timely treatment of bacterial and viral infections has an effect.
Neglect of sex life, hygiene and a sedentary lifestyle play a 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 impact.
Annual examination is recommended for preventive purposes.
Treatment for obesity
The problem of extra pounds can have a negative effect on a person's internal organs.
An increase in the level of cholesterol, blood pressure and glucose causes a metabolic disorder.
Lack of regular 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 overall health.
