If the inflammatory process of the prostate is caused by congestion, the disease is called congestive, congestive or non-infectious prostatitis. Prostatitis develops due to incomplete emptying of blood-filled lobes. In men, congestive prostatitis most often occurs due to an irregular sex life, which occurs in older patients. However, there are cases when the disease occurs against the background of chronic prostatitis and many other provoking factors.
Causes of stagnant prostatitis
The main and main cause of the pathology is the disruption of the normal blood circulation of the pelvic organs. But prostate stagnation occurs due to factors such as:
- An acute and/or chronic disease of an infectious nature. The infection enters the prostate through the urethra, rectum, or lymphatic vessels;
- hormonal imbalance in the patient's body;
- Increased sexual activity, which leads to sexual exhaustion;
- The practice of coitus interruptus;
- Excitement that does not reach ejaculation;
- Prolonged sexual intercourse with prolongation and "blocking" of ejaculation;
- Insufficient emptying of the prostate;
- sedentary lifestyle, which leads to poor circulation of the pelvic organs;
- Varicose veins of the pelvic organs;
- Injury or damage to the pelvic organs.
Factors can be combined and supplemented with individual reasons. The provoking factor of the urological disease can only be found out with a full examination by a specialist.
According to the type of congestive prostatitis, it is divided as follows:
- Venous.Similar stagnation in men occurs when there are pathological changes in the venous system. For example, varicose veins of the lower limbs: the veins expand, blood accumulates in the pelvic organ systems, which leads to the transition of the phenomenon to the prostate and causes the development of pathology.
- Stagnant.The form of the disease is characterized by incomplete emptying of the gland, which leads to an increase in the inflammatory process - more often in mature men.
- Cognitive prostatitis– a pathology with implicit symptoms and dangerous due to its complications. Stagnation leads to irreversible consequences of the glandular organ - detachment of the epithelial layers of the tissue.
- Chronic congestive prostatitis.Apparently, due to irregular sex life, frequent masturbation, sedentary lifestyle and other factors. The main symptom is the discharge of seminal fluid in the form of blood clots. The volume of the prostate gland increases, which is dangerous due to the possibility of the development of more complex pathologies.
- Infectious.In the course of stagnant pathology, it develops due to infection through the urogenital system, which increases the inflammatory process and worsens the general condition of the patient.
Important!Only a specialist can identify the type and form of the pathology. Self-treatment of congestive inflammation of the prostate without medical consultation is dangerous and possible only in the early stages of the disease. .
Symptoms of stagnant prostatitis
In the first stage of prostate stagnation, the symptoms are subtle and vague. This makes it difficult to diagnose the problem in time. But there are still signs of pathology:
- painful sensations in the groin, replaced by a burning sensation, pain after long walks, standing;
- pain radiating to the area of the sacrum, inner thigh;
- decreased libido;
- feeling of incomplete prostate emptying - incomplete orgasm;
- poor erection;
- pain during urination;
- nocturnal urination is characterized by a thin or intermittent stream;
- sharp stabbing pain in the groin that radiates to the anal area;
- deterioration of general health: weakness, fatigue, absent-mindedness.
The development of pathology from acute to chronic form leads to an increase in pain syndromes - the discomfort stabilizes. Attacks of pain become more frequent and are localized in the groin. However, acute relapses are replaced by remission, and the patient believes that he has got rid of the disease, and stagnant prostatitis has already become chronic, inflammation of the excretory ducts and detachment of epithelial tissues is dangerous.
Important!The most dangerous symptom is the cessation of urination. If the patient has a similar phenomenon, consult a doctor immediately, regardless of whether the syndrome is aggravated by pain symptoms or other signs of prostate stagnation. .
Diagnosis of congestive prostatitis
The non-specificity of the disease makes diagnosis difficult. In order not to get lost in conclusions, the urologist performs a number of tests:
- Palpation and rectal examination to assess the condition of the prostate and rectal hemorrhoids;
- Blood and urine tests;
- Analysis of the secretory fluid of the prostate to determine resistance to drug groups;
- Ultrasound;
- In special cases, CT scans and an examination of the urogenital system are prescribed - this makes it possible to clarify the cause of the pathology.
Treatment of congestive prostatitis is prescribed only after the diagnosis has been made. It should be remembered that the disease can be successfully eliminated at any stage, but with early treatment it is possible to preserve full sexual abilities.
Treatment of congestive prostatitis
In order to choose an effective treatment option for prostate congestion, an examination is performed and individual therapy is prescribed. Today, medicine offers many possibilities for curing the disease: drug treatment, physiotherapy, surgery, and folk methods of eliminating the problem help all patients without exception, but only the treating specialist can tell you how to treat congestive prostatitis.
Medicines
Drug therapy is prescribed using antibacterial agents, alpha-blockers, muscle relaxants, hormonal and phytotherapeutic agents. Antibacterial drugs are recommended for the treatment of congestive prostatitis caused by infections, but in order to maintain immunity, the drug must be taken together with a group of drugs. The choice of medicine is influenced by the bacteria causing the pathology.
Alpha-blockers are drugs that open the sphincters, which stops the action of impulses that affect smooth muscle tone. Taking the drugs improves the patient's condition, increases the frequency of urination, reduces the sensitivity of cramps and the pressure on the bladder wall.
Herbs are a specially selected herbal complex that is used only as a supplement to other treatment methods. The herbal medicine relieves inflammation and swelling well, has an antibacterial effect, and helps dispel prostate congestion.
Treatment with hormonal drugs is used to normalize the balance of estrogens and androgens. Therapy relieves inflammation and prevents further development of the pathology.
Muscle relaxants are a special group of drugs that act on the striated muscles located in the perineum. A decrease in muscle tone leads to a decrease in pain, which relieves tension in the pelvic diaphragm and eliminates feelings of fullness and pressure.
Important!Medication is prescribed only by a specialist. Self-medication is prohibited. The use of herbal medicines is also contraindicated in patients without an established diagnosis. In the early stages of congestive prostatitis, the selection of an inappropriate complex will be ineffective, and in the later stages it will lead to the deterioration of the patient's condition. .
Physiotherapy and its role in effective treatment
The large number of physiotherapeutic effects on the patient's body makes it possible to choose the most effective treatment, often without the use of heavy drugs. The role of physiotherapy in eliminating the disease is great:
- Normalization of blood circulation in the pelvic organs;
- Get rid of negative symptoms;
- Restoration of normal prostate function;
- Increased male sexual potency;
- Prevention of congestion.
Physiotherapy methods are as follows:
- Prostate massage.It is an effective way to treat congestive prostatitis. By improving blood circulation, massage completely eliminates congestion, improves muscle tone and the diaphragm, enhances the effect of drugs and normalizes the functioning of the prostate pathways. Contraindications: incomplete emptying of the bladder, organ cancers, cysts, stone formation in the prostate.
- Exercises to strengthen and relax the muscles of the pelvic floora "home" treatment option that shows ideal results. A special series of exercises is simple to perform, for example: compressing and releasing the muscles of the anus, but at the same time it is so effective that it allows you to completely get rid of stagnant prostatitis and never again experience the danger of pathology.
- Neuromodular (neuromodulator) therapya treatment with electric current aimed at eliminating pain syndromes. It is carried out in several ways, the most popular of which is stimulation of the nerve endings of the spinal cord. Percutaneous exposure gives a good result, however, the treatment has contraindications and is prescribed individually.
- Acupuncture massage or acupuncture- a good and effective method, which involves the introduction of special needles into strictly defined points of the body. Purpose: activation of recovery processes and normalization of blood flow, speeding up recovery. But there is a great danger that it will end up in the hands of the wrong specialist and aggravate the problem instead of treating it.
The method of laser treatment of prostate congestion is very well proven. The effect on the nerve endings of the cells ensures the rapid elimination of the main problem and the accompanying negative symptoms.
Important!Physiotherapy, like other treatment methods, is prescribed by a specialist. Asking for help without a diagnosis is dangerous .
Surgical methods
Treatment of stagnation by surgery is the last option, which is used in the absence of the effect of other methods to eliminate the pathology. The indications for the intervention are as follows:
- narrowing of the urinary tract;
- prostate abscesses;
- prostate sclerosis;
- BPH;
- violation of the outflow of secretions through the seminal vesicles.
There are many surgical techniques, the choice depends on the clinical picture of the pathology and the individual characteristics of the patient.
ethnoscience
Urologists welcome alternative healing options, but only in addition to traditional methods of eliminating the disease. The good thing about home treatment is that it increases the effectiveness of taking medicines, reduces pain and normalizes blood flow.
