Congestive prostatitis is a common inflammatory disease that affects the prostate gland. Many men do not suspect that they have this pathology. In many cases, the disease is detected when you undergo a routine examination with a doctor. Do NOT panic. Correct and effective treatment gives 100% recovery. But before the beginning of therapy it is necessary to visit a specialist. The doctor will determine the cause that caused the inflammatory disease. After finding out the reason, the most suitable treatment is selected.
Some patients hesitate to contact a specialist with this diagnosis. This causes the patient to resort to home therapies. It should be borne in mind that self-medication can cause irreparable harm to the sexual function of men. In many cases, improper treatment is accompanied by impotence. For this reason, even the first stage of prostatitis should be treated under the strict supervision of a doctor.
What is the disease
Stagnant prostatitis can be detected not only by the doctor, but also by specific specific signs. The symptomatology of pathology depends on its variety. The stagnant form of prostatitis develops in the male gland gradually.
A healthy prostate gland is small in size. The average diameter of the organ does not exceed 5-6 cm. The male's gland has three sections. All parts of the organ surround the upper part of the urinary canal. Above the gland is the bladder. Between the prostate and the bladder there is a sphincter. It prevents the entry of sperm into the cavity of the bladder.
The prostate gland is necessary for a man to maintain a constant hormonal background. This function is performed by producing a small amount of testosterone. A healthy prostate helps the body maintain a hormonal system. Also, the body is responsible for the childbearing function. A special liquid is produced in the cavities of the prostate gland. It is the secret or the basis of seminal fluid. The volume of the secretion is completely dependent on the condition of the gland.
There are several pathological processes that affect the normal state of the prostate. Under their influence, inflammation develops in different parts of the gland. It is accompanied by a change in the size and structure of the prostate. In this case, the organ has a negative effect on the urinary system. Strengthening the load on the lower part of the body results in the formation of a pocket. It accumulates stagnant fluid. This urine differs in composition from the main fluid. The accumulation of a large amount of fluid causes various problems with urination. The man has symptoms of congestive prostatitis.
Prostatitis can occur in a variety of ways. When a sudden appearance of symptoms, which is accompanied by a temperature and severe soreness, doctors talk about the acute type of stagnant prostatitis. This type of disease is easier to medicate, as the causes are quickly detected.
The danger to the general health of a man is the chronic form of congestive prostatitis. This form does not have a pronounced clinical picture. When the diagnosis is made, the initial cause of inflammation causes difficulty. In many patients, it remains unsettled. Also the danger lies in the duration of the development of stagnant prostatitis. It can develop for several years. During this interval, additional pathological changes in the reproductive system are formed. Such patients have difficulty with conception. Many are diagnosed with erectile dysfunction.
Negative factors that cause inflammation of the prostate
A bacterial infection is a common cause of adverse events. Various microorganisms enter the cavity of the organ through the urinary and vas deferens. When examining patients in the analysis, staphylococci and streptococci are often found. These microorganisms are the most common causes of congestive prostatitis. They cause atrophy of individual foci of soft tissue. The dead cells lead to the development of chronic inflammation. Also, in some cases, slight bleeding or suppuration of the damaged tissue is detected. All these liquids entail deformation of the organ. It can not function fully. The patient shows a variety of symptoms of the disease.
But there are other causes of congestive prostatitis. There are negative factors such as:
- Wrong selection of power;
- Unreasonable physical activity;
- Various ailments of urogenital organs;
- Pelvic injuries;
- Negative impact of the environment.
Weight is an important factor in maintaining male health. Body weight depends on the selection of food. Nutritional habits of many representatives of the stronger sex are harmful. The constant use of fatty and fried foods can lead to the accumulation of fat in the abdominal cavity. This process occurs when incomplete lipid digestion in the stomach. The remaining fat is absorbed by the body and accumulates in the mast cells. With a large accumulation of body weight, there is an increase in pressure on the internal organs. Many men who are overweight, suffer from various pathologies of the genitourinary system. Great weight causes a change in the location of the bladder and kidneys. The pressure on the organ is intensified. The outer shell of the prostate gland deforms. Deformation leads to a change in the work of the body. Occurs the formation of an inflamed area. Prolonged obesity leads to stagnant prostatitis.
Exchange function of body cells depends on physical activity. The characteristics of physical activity depend on age and profession. Many patients with congestive prostatitis have a sedentary profession. Long stay of the body in this position causes a decrease in the process of cellular renewal. Reduction of cellular renewal entails various pathological phenomena in the body. Often this process is accompanied by a slowing down of the prostate gland. It ceases to produce the necessary amount of hormones. This also affects the hormonal background. In this case, the patient needs a thorough diagnosis of the entire genitourinary system.
It should be noted that the disease of the gland accompanies a change in the hormonal level. A failure in the hormonal background causes a decrease in the production of testosterone. This hormone is responsible for the development of male sexual characteristics. The change in the amount of testosterone causes a decrease in sexual activity. Infrequent sexual contacts cause accumulation in the prostate gland of the fluid. The base of the seminal fluid becomes thick. It loses its properties. When the secretion of the secretion on the inner layer of the prostate is gradually deposited substances involved in the formation of the base. These deposits cause the appearance of a pathogenic process. Inflammation is accompanied by stagnant prostatitis.
Congestive prostatitis is diagnosed and with various pathological processes in the genito-urinary organs. The main cause of the disease are various infections. Infection of the urinary canal causes mucosal inflammation. Gradual development of the disease is accompanied by its transition to the upper paths. In this case, microbes affect neighboring organs and tissues. They cause inflammation of the inner shell of the prostate gland. This phenomenon is the cause of congestive prostatitis.
In case of prostate injury, the negative impact of the environment should be taken into account. The detection of inflammation often occurs against a background of severe hypothermia. High temperatures also have the same effect. For this reason, men who often visit baths or saunas should periodically visit a specialist. It will help to establish whether there are any pathological abnormalities in the work of the body.
Symptoms of prostate injury
Symptoms of congestive prostatitis are not always clearly pronounced. Many patients do not notice any negative changes in their health. Anxiety in a patient can cause symptoms such as:
-
Changing the characteristics of urination; - Soreness;
- Erectile Dysfunction;
- Irritability and lack of sleep.
Symptoms of prostatitis depend on the causes of it. The identification of causes also depends on the underlying signs of the disease. With stagnant prostatitis, the patient often has negative changes in the characteristics of urination. Urine in the prostatitis can not leave the bladder in full. The residual amount of urine remains in it. It causes the man to urge for a permanent emptying of the bladder. Visiting the toilet does not cause the patient relief. This phenomenon is intensified at night. This is due to a change in the position of the body. In the horizontal arrangement of the trunk, liquid flows out of the pocket and is located on the side of the bladder. The patient feels a desire to visit the toilet. When the body is raised, the liquid returns to the cavity. Emptying in this case is defective. This phenomenon accompanies the patient throughout the night.
Visiting the toilet at night does not allow full sleep. Sleep becomes sensitive, intermittent. The patient ceases to rest normally. This causes additional changes in the nervous system. The constant work of the brain is accompanied by a lack of rest in the nerve roots. They are constantly functioning. This causes nervous overexertion and stress. The man becomes irritable. Irritability extends to others. Against the backdrop of prostatitis in families there are outbreaks of aggression and quarrels.
An unpleasant symptom of prostatitis is soreness. The pain syndrome is accompanied by an act of defecation, urination and sexual contact. The pain has a different intensity and localization. Soreness gradually spreads. Initially, unpleasant sensations are localized in the perineum. It is pulling, pulsing. Then the symptom intensifies and passes to the lower part of the abdominal region.
Soreness can accompany sexual life. A symptom is found when sperm is excreted into the vas deferens. Constant pain causes a rejection of sex.
Diagnosis of the disease
Congestive prostatitis is diagnosed in various ways. An inflammatory process can be established using ultrasound diagnostics. With the help of this device you can accurately determine the size and structure of the prostate gland. Inflammation is accompanied by an increase in the body and the appearance of swelling. Also, a number of tests are needed, which contribute to the detection of congestive prostatitis. For this, the following samples are taken:
- Urine;
- Blood;
- Smear.
Urine may contain a variety of bacteria, dead cells, blood, pus. In the patient's blood, the quantitative content of leukocyte is revealed. It is also necessary to determine the density of blood. All this can be established by the content of erythrocytes and white blood cells. Erythrocytes quickly settle in inflammation. The higher the rate of erythrocyte sedimentation, the more serious the inflammatory process. Leukocytes also depend on the disease. If the body is affected by congestive prostatitis, the number of white cells increases.
A smear from the canal is the main analysis for stagnant prostatitis. He will help determine the cause of the disease.
Treatment of a disease
Stagnant prostatitis can be cured only after determining the negative factors of its appearance. Therapy is carried out with the help of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics. After removal of the inflammation it is necessary to add a hardware effect. It helps to eliminate residual inflammation. Restorative therapy is also recommended for many patients. It consists in reducing the number of relapses. For this purpose, many doctors recommend visiting prostate massage.
Any lesion of the prostate can cause irreparable changes in a man's sexual health. Timely visit to the clinic contributes to the correct selection of treatment. Effective therapy will help to eliminate stagnant prostatitis.
