Chronic prostatitis is an inflammatory process of the prostate in a man with a long (more than six months) course.
Usually, this pathology is the result of an infectious process.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis is aimed at eliminating the cause of the infection.
The lack of such treatment can lead to the development of various functional disorders and complications, all the way to male infertility.
Causes of chronic prostatitis Various pathogens (pathogenic) microorganisms with their long course lead to the development of an inflammatory reaction.
There are 2 main groups of pathogens of chronic prostatitis:
- Nonspecific bacterial infection–Pathogenic microorganisms that can lead to the development of an inflammatory reaction in various organs, including streptococci, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Proteus, Staphylococcus.
- Specific infection.Pathogenic microorganisms parasitize only in the structures of the male urogenital tract (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 a rational etiotropic therapy.
It is intended to destroy the pathogenic pathogen.
Other factors may also be the reasons for the development of chronic prostatitis.
Stagnation of blood in the small pelvis leads to insufficient oxygen exchange in the tissues of the organs.
This affects their regeneration and resistance to infections.
A general decrease in the body's protective function provokes the development of inflammation.
Lack of physical activity has a detrimental effect on human health and leads to a decrease in the body's defenses.
Factors that lead to the development of chronic prostatitis include problems in the patient's intimate life.
This is a breakup without ejaculation, an irregular sex life, a long period of abstinence.
The consequences of trauma often affect the condition of the genitals.
Excessive work, stressful situations can, in combination with other reasons, cause prostate problems.
Drinking alcohol and smoking in large quantities lead to disorders of the reproductive system in men.
Classification of prostatitis
There are three types of disease:
- Bacterial;
- Non-bacterial;
- Prostatodynia.
The first type is characterized by the detection of microorganisms in the discharge.
Antibacterial drugs are needed to treat this variety.
A nonbacterial condition is a condition in which there are no bacteria in the gland’s secretion.
Prostatodynia is a process when the patient has complaints characteristic of prostatitis, but there are no abnormalities in the analysis of prostate secretion.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis with accompanying pathology
Patients who have prostate problems often have other problems as well.
These can be cardiovascular diseases, diseases of the respiratory and digestive systems.
For these patients, the treatment regimen will be different.
In order for the therapy to be properly adjusted, it is necessary to undergo an appropriate diagnosis.
Narrow experts may be involved in consultations in such cases.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis in young people
By age 30, the infectious agent is often the cause of prostatitis.
This is because of the way of life of young people.
Untimely treatment of bacterial and viral infections affects.
Promiscuous sex life, neglect of hygiene and inactive lifestyle play a role.
Patients rarely consult a physician at the first signs of illness.
The disease progresses, it becomes chronic.
It is worth paying attention to these problems and reducing the risk of their impact.
For preventive purposes, an annual examination is recommended.
Obesity treatment
The problem with excess weight can negatively affect a man’s internal organs.
Increasing cholesterol, blood pressure and glucose levels leads to metabolic disorders.
Lack of constant 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.
