Prostatitis is a common urological disease in males over 45 years of age. According to statistics, since the Noi or in the form of inflammation of the prostate gland are facing each and every other human being. The disease is characterized by urination problems, and pain. The activated form of disease is a serious and intractable problem, and therefore, the treatment of prostatitis should be started immediately.
The most common causes for the development of the disease
In order to understand what are the diseases of the prostatitis, and why it occurs, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of the functioning of the prostate gland. This is a hormone-dependent organ fulfils a very important function – it ensures the survival of the sperm after ejaculation that allows them to move about freely in the sky. This is a special secret, which is mixed with the substance and about one-third the quantity of seminal fluid.
The reasons for the development of the disease can be divided into the General, which increases the risk of inflammation, and is particularly characterized by a special form of inflammation of the.
The disease is developed due to the following reasons:
- the lack of a regular sexual life;
- hypothermia;
- an infection in the body;
- bad habits;
- obesity;
- constipation;
- the lack of movement;
- diseases of the heart and the circulatory system;
- stress.
The lack of regular sexual activity leads to the development of stagnant processes that may cause inflammation of the joint. For the normal functioning of the prostate gland, it is necessary to regularly and completely drained, it can only be done through relationship. While Masturbation is an incomplete emptying of the segments of the body, they cannot compensate for the physical separation of the prostate secretion as in the whole of a sex.
Hypothermia of the lower body, may cause irritation of the prostate gland. This weakens the overall immune system and can lead to a breakthrough in prostate conditionally pathogenic micro-organisms are always present in the human body. An inflammation of the prostate gland occurs in several different ways:
- the flow of the blood in the presence of chronic foci of infection in the body;
- the movement of lymph in infectious inflammation in the pelvis;
- a reverse throw urine or ejaculate during a sexual infection, cystitis, and kidney disease.
Bad habits are the direct and indirect impact on the development of prostatitis. Fact of the matter is that, with age, the prostate gland to be a natural movement. After about 50 years of age inhibits the release of male sex hormones, the prostate grows in size. This leads to a slowing down of the metabolic processes and, as a consequence, a number of negative factors, including Smoking and alcohol abuse, there are delays in the body. Not an inflammatory condition, is associated with prostate enlargement because of natural aging, which has similar symptoms and is referred to as BPH, or benign prostatic hyperplasia.
The second factor is considered to be the cause of the disease in men is obesity. A violation of the metabolic rate to slow down all the processes in the body. This disrupts the normal flow of blood to the prostate blood circulation in your body, develops a stagnation of prostatic secretion. In general, being overweight men leading a sedentary life-style, and do not stick to a proper diet. Physical inactivity causes poor circulation of the pelvis, unhealthy diet leads to constipation.
The violation of the tombs, have long been the accumulation of feces in the bowel puts pressure on the prostate and cause irritation to the body. During a bowel movement, hard stool through the rectum, damage to its walls. At a given location, the prostate is almost adjacent to the rectum, as in difficulty in bowel movement occurs irritation of the body, under certain conditions, you may be one of the causes of prostatitis. In addition to the closure of the blood circulation of the pelvis, which is causing the development of stagnant phenomena in the prostate.
Cardio-vascular disease and stress weaken the body. In the first and in the second case, it is a violation of cerebral blood circulation, including that of the organs of the pelvis. In diseases of the heart and the blood impaired oxygen transport to the cells of the body, and stress to interfere with the metabolic processes and weaken the immune system. A disease of the blood vessels has a negative impact on the functioning of the prostate gland, and may also include varicose veins.
Any one of these causes, except for infectious diseases, is an essential factor in the development of the disease. The reasons are the only factors of risk and determine the development of prostatitis, however, may increase the risk of this disease. As a rule, the prostatitis in men develop in the presence of multiple risk factors. In addition, for each of the disease is characterized by the following risk factors.
The type of the disease
A precise understanding of what is prostatitis in the broader sense of the term, the knowledge of the causes of development and the type of the disease. In summary, there are two main types of inflammation of the prostate gland is an infectious and non-infectious prostatitis.
Infectious prostatitis is an acute inflammatory process in the prostate gland, which can cause infection in the human body. In this form of the disease is characterized by pronounced symptoms and have a significant impact on the patient's quality of life, but enough can be successfully treated if the patient promptly turned to the doctor. The causes of such inflammation, various viruses, bacteria, and fungi. The pathology develops very quickly, within a couple of days, it is characterized by a general deterioration in health and in fever.
The epidemic of the disease in the tissues of the prostate gland occur the inflammation. There are several forms of the disease, which differ in the degree of involvement of the prostate tissue, in the inflammatory process. Infectious prostatitis can occur in local foci of suppuration and abscess of the prostate.
Non-infectious prostatitis is a consequence of the lack of a regular sexual life, to the system violations of blood circulation and stagnation in the pelvis. The inflammation of the problem of the nature of the evolving slowly, and often appears in a chronic form. This is the type of the disease is characterized by moderate to severe symptoms and a longer course, but there are episodes when the symptoms get worse and the symptoms of non-infectious prostatitis are reminiscent of the acute inflammatory process.
According to statistics, chronic prostatitis is to the diagnosis in 80% of patients urological clinic. An acute infectious inflammation of the is available only in every fifth patient. This is a chronic noninfectious prostatitis is more closely associated with age-related disease, as in patients with average age of 45-60 years of age, and an infectious inflammation is more frequently diagnosed in young people an active sex life.
Infectious causes of prostatitis
The Prostate gland is an important male body when there is inflammation, which is developing prostatitis. The infectious form of the disease is a serious problem that is often faced by young men. The reason is that the infectious prostatitis "young" is promiscuity among the young and early sexual initiation.
Very often, the cause of an infectious inflammation of the speaker:
- chlamydia;
- gardnerellosis;
- trichomoniasis;
- gonorrhea.
All of those the bacteria are sexually transmitted. The characteristic and the principal risk that threatens the health of the prostate is asymptomatic for the disease in men. If a woman is not able to diagnose and treat diseases that are caused by bacteria, sexually transmitted diseases, the men listed diseases specific symptoms are very rare. As a result, a long time by living in the body, which affects the genital area. Under the influence of a number of factors (immunosuppression, hypothermia, stress), the bacteria enters through the urethra into the prostate gland. Due to the peculiarities of the structure of the body, an inflammatory process that develops rapidly.
The infection, sexually transmitted disease, which is caused by the development of an infection in about 10% of cases of infectious prostatitis. In other cases, however, they are opportunistic pathogens that are always in a man's body:
- Escherichia coli;
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa;
- staph;
- strep.
Prostatitis, which is triggered by opportunistic micro-organisms is rapidly developing and often severe. For example, if the causative agent is Staphylococcus aureus, in the prostate resulting ulcer and a high risk of abscess development. An inflammation of the prostate gland, which of the following organisms, which occurs by hematogenous, in the presence of a focus of infection in the body. This means, you can penetrate the prostate gland the other is the return of urine from the urethra, on the basis of the problem of cystitis, or a kidney disease.
The isolated fungal prostatitis. This pathology is very rare, but it is difficult to treat. The reason why they are the case of Candida albicans. This fungus is an important part of the normal intestinal flora and mucosa of man, but for a variety of reasons may lead to the development of an infection. This is due to the increase in the population of fungi. An inflammation of the prostate gland of pathogens, which usually occurs in the presence of a genital candidiasis (thrush) in the case of men. This disease may occur because of immune deficiency, but also sexually transmitted. Fungal prostatitis for a long time, asymptomatic, and when the first symptoms appear, and treatment is complicated by the fact that pathogenic microflora rapidly develops a tolerance to the medication. Fungal prostatitis often becomes chronic.
The causes and characteristics of the development of non-infectious prostatitis
The detection of the symptoms of prostatitis, it is important to consult a doctor and identify the type of the disease. Non-infectious prostatitis may be the result of:
- irregular sexual life,
- diseases of the circulatory system;
- bad habits;
- however, physical inactivity.
The disease usually develops as a result of the simultaneous action of all the above factors. The mean age of the patients affected with infectious prostatitis is 45 years old.
The doctors are all agreed that the high prevalence of infectious prostatitis bound to the pace of modern life. Most of the men who are now employed in sedentary work, which denies the physical activity. The lack of physical activity has a tremendous momentum, due to the lack of time for sports. This leads to problems with the spine, which hampers the blood circulation in the lower part of the body. An unbalanced diet causes constipation, which violate the trophism of the prostate. The situation is exacerbated by the lack of a regular sex life which is caused by the lack of a permanent partner, or a banal lack of time. The development of the disease, which can lead to chronic diseases and diseases of the heart and the circulatory system e.g. high blood pressure, which affects men over the age of 40 years. If we add to this the constant stress, and Tobacco stems, characterized by the portrayal of a man suffering from non-infectious prostatitis.
The special thing about this disease:
- moderate to severe symptoms;
- erectile dysfunction;
- impairment of fertility;
- in the long term, of course.
Non-infectious prostatitis is very common to become chronic. The disease is complicated to treat if the man is not willing to re-examine their lifestyle and give up bad habits.
Aggravating factors of the disease – an unbalanced diet, frequent stress, lack of timely treatment. The exact symptoms and the symptoms of prostatitis depend on the form of infection.
The diagnosis of the disease
The search for the discomfort, the violation of discharge or pain, a man should consult with a health care provider.
Prior to the examination, your doctor will review the patient and to the examination of the complaint. Compulsory to tell the doctor about the temperature, the symptoms of this poison – it will help you to choose the right tactic of examination.
For the diagnosis of functional disorders of the prostate are used:
- massage of the prostate gland;
- Ultrasonography, and transrectal ultrasonography of the body;
- The general and biochemical blood analysis;
- urine;
- An ultrasound of the bladder and of the kidney;
- the analysis of prostate secretion;
- the analysis of the DOG.
The primary review, which has been appointed by all of the people, with the exception of suspected acute bacterial prostatitis is a massage of the prostate gland. The procedure is painless, but does cause physical discomfort. The massage is that the practitioner inserts a finger into the anus of the patient, and the feel of the prostate. A preliminary diagnosis can be made on the nature of the changes in the contour of the body, its density and dimensions. It involves the stimulation of the prostate gland into the urethra is allocated a few drops of prostatic secretion. This material is sent to the laboratory for analysis. Such a study allows to identify:
- the presence of an inflammatory process;
- the nature of the inflammation;
- the causative agent of the disease;
- the sensitivity of the pathogen to the antibiotic.
In acute bacterial inflammation, when a person is at high temperature and the risk of an abscess or a purulent injuries of the body, massage is contraindicated treatment. To moderate the inflammation, and early in the development of infectious prostatitis, and the doctor feels that the prostate gland is very delicate, avoid strong pressure and intense stimulation.
Please specify the type of the causative agent of the acute inflammation of the helping to the urine test. The fact that it is in the urethra are part of the prostatic secretions, and urine, are washed out of the urethra. The analysis allows us to separate the prostate gland secretion and urine to determine the type of the causative agent of an infection.
