Contraindications for prostatitis are diverse. They depend on the form of pathology and the complexity of the process. Prostatitis is an unpleasant disease and has various degrees of complications. To understand what not to do, you need to know the etiology of the disease.
Characteristics of prostate inflammation
Prostatitis is a pathology that is accompanied by inflammatory changes in the prostate gland. The male's prostate gland consists of several parts. Two lobes are located on the sides of the urinary system. One lobe is located on the back of the ureter. The organ looks like a walnut. It is localized under the bladder. The bladder is protected from the prostate by the sphincter. It prevents the secretion of seminal fluid from entering the bladder cavity.
Prostate performs two main functions in the body:
- Develops the secret of seminal fluid;
- Produces a smaller portion of testosterone.
Both these functions are necessary for the correct formation of spermatogenesis and the sexual life of a man. Under the influence of various causes, the prostate gland can become inflamed. Pathology is called prostatitis. Prostatitis has several ways of formation. Isolated bacterial and non-bacterial prostatitis. With bacterial prostatitis, pathogenic bacteria enter the body. They feed on the tissues of the prostate gland. On the contaminated site, the dead tissue and the waste products of the bacteria accumulate. All these residues cause inflammation. The process gradually spreads throughout the body. There is an increase in the prostate. The walls of the prostate gland swell, the first symptoms of prostatitis appear.
Non-bacterial inflammation can occur under the influence of a variety of factors. The cause of this form of the disease can become concomitant inflammation in the genito-urinary organs. The process can actively spread to neighboring organs and tissues. In this case, bacteria are not detected in the prostate gland. Also, prostatitis can occur due to the presence of concomitant diseases in the body.
The disease occurs in two main ways. The acute form of prostatitis is characterized by the appearance of symptoms on day 3-4 of the lesion. In this case, the patient may have an increase in body temperature. Symptoms of the disease develop rapidly. In acute form, the patient is often required hospitalization.
Chronic prostatitis is a more dangerous form of pathology. This problem is often revealed in the patient with a planned medical examination.
In some cases, patients have complaints. It is difficult to diagnose the causes of prostatitis. This entails difficulties in the appointment of treatment. Usually, chronic prostatitis therapy is long.
Causes of the pathological process of
Prostatitis can affect the organ under the influence of various causes. Two groups of pathological factors are distinguished:
- External;
- Internal.
External causes of the disease are diverse. So, the pathology arises at influence of temperature difference on a prostate gland. A constant visit to saunas and baths entails the development of an inflammatory process in the prostate gland. Also, pathology can be affected by trauma. Injury of the lumbar region causes squeezing of the organ sheath. The damaged area is prone to inflammation. There is a pathology.
Diseases are susceptible to men who lead an inactive lifestyle. Constant stay in a sitting position entails a slowing of blood circulation in the small pelvis. Slowing blood flow causes difficulty in metabolic processes. New cells are produced slowly. There is a violation of trophism of the prostate gland. The body becomes inflamed.
Affects pathology and harmful food. Fatty foods lead to an increase in body weight. Excess weight in men is delayed on the abdominal cavity. Mass has a pathological effect on the pelvic organs. There is a shift of organs. The prostate gland is overloaded from the weight of the bladder. Under pressure, the lobe of the body becomes inflamed.
Internal causes are also varied. These include various pathological processes taking place in the patient's body. Prostatitis can be detected in patients with diabetes mellitus. Diabetes causes disruption of trophic tissue of peripheral organs. Patients are disturbed by blood circulation in the hands and feet. This causes a lack of oxygen in the prostate gland. Also, diabetes is accompanied by a violation of the hormonal background. Hormones in this disease are produced in less quantity. Testosterone stops stimulating the gland. The body affects the prostatitis.
Various infections of the urinary system can also cause prostatitis. On pathology affects urethritis, cystitis. The process also occurs due to bacterial contamination.
It was found that pathology is also of a genetic nature. If the older members of the family had this disease, then the younger ones are also affected.
Symptoms of the disease
Symptoms of prostatitis are different. The main problems arise in the urinary system. The following reactions are observed in the patient:
-
Urinary disorder; - Pain syndrome;
- Sleep disorder;
- Sexual problems.
In the event of inflammation, the prostate gland increases in size. It exerts a pathological pressure on the lower part of the bladder. It forms a pocket in which urine accumulates. Remains of urine are not excreted from the body. This causes a constant desire to visit the toilet. There is a feeling of incomplete emptying. In severe form of pathology, the patient has pain in the lower abdomen or lumbar spine. The pain can be prolonged or abrupt.
Constant visit to the toilet is accompanied by the interruption of a night's sleep. The patient ceases to sleep normally, becomes sluggish and irritable. There are also problems of a sexual nature. Prostatitis is often accompanied by erectile dysfunction. This is due to a violation of the hormonal background.
Diagnosis and treatment of
For a correct determination of the form and type of the disease, the patient needs to undergo a thorough medical examination. With prostatitis, it is important to study the smear from the urethral canal and the urine sample. From the results of laboratory studies depends on the purpose of drug therapy.
When making a diagnosis, it is necessary to perform an ultrasound examination of the prostate. This method allows you to determine the site of localization of the inflammatory process. After determining the form of prostatitis, the patient is treated. Therapy is carried out by various methods and is selected by a specialist.
Prohibitions for the disease
A man suffering from prostatitis needs to know a number of contraindications during treatment. Allocate the following contraindications:
-
Prohibition on the use of alcohol-containing beverages; - Visiting of baths and saunas;
- Conducting manual therapy during an exacerbation;
- Additional medications.
Alcohol-containing beverages cause disruption in the functioning of the vascular and nervous system. Transmission of the pulse slows down, the walls of the vessels narrow. If the patient has an acute form of pathological process, then alcohol-containing drinks are contraindicated to him.
Contraindications include bathing. Visiting the bath means a sharp heating and cooling of the body. The temperature difference strengthens the pathogen process in the organ. For this reason, it is not recommended to visit it during illness.
One of the methods of treatment of prostatitis is massage of the prostate. It should be borne in mind that this procedure is contraindicated during an exacerbation. Massage is prohibited because of increased circulation in the pelvis. This increases the spread of the pathological process in the pelvic organs.
Independent use of drugs is also contraindicated in prostatitis. Any treatment should be discussed with the attending physician. Do not take and biologically active additives. They also may have contraindications to the acute form of prostatitis.
If symptoms occur that indicate inflammation of the prostate, you should consult a specialist. The attending physician will tell you how to treat the pathology correctly and what is contraindicated with it.
