Chronic prostatitis

Inflammation of the prostate gland

Chronic prostatitis is a sluggish prostate disease.For him, a change in the periods of exacerbations and remissions is characteristic for him.The disease develops slowly without any fear of the patient in the first few years, with the exception of individual symptoms that often do not pay attention to.However, the progress of the pathology can lead to a violation of the function of the prostate and the development of complications.It is therefore important to identify them early. 

You can undergo a preventive examination of the urologist in the field clinic.If necessary, an individual treatment scheme will be developed for you, thanks to the fact that you get rid of the disease in a short time and avoid complications.

Features of the disease

Chronic prostatitis in men is one of the most common pathologies in genitarians.About 30% of patients aged 20 to 50 suffer.

The prostate is a non -parallel organ under the bladder.It is responsible for the quality of sperm: it creates a special secret that is an important component.And during an erection, the prostate iron closes the outcome from the bladder.

The reason for the development of acute and chronic prostatitis is often infections (bacterial, viral or fungal origin).They are able to penetrate the prostate through blood, lymph, even if the focus of the infection is far from the prostate.The infection also often falls directly from the urethra into the prostate.These two organs are connected: the prostate channels are open to the urethra.And also through the prostate, the first part of the urethra passes.

What does chronic prostatitis look like

The infection can also be listed in the prostate without the presence of pathological processes in the body.After all, each organ is characterized by its own microflora.Microorganisms that live in the urethra are harmless in their "habitat".However, you can be strange for the prostate, and if you fall in, you can provoke the development of inflammation.

Prostatitis can be:

  1. Infectious origin - caused by bacteria, viruses or fungi.
  2. Stagnant in nature - develops with a stagnation of the secretion of the prostate.

The causes of the development of the disease

The causes of development depend on the form of chronic prostatitis.The infectious shape occurs in the following diseases:

  • Urethritis.
  • Orchitis (pneumonia of the testicle).
  • Cystitis.

The source of infection does not have to be in the immediate vicinity of the prostate.Pathology can occur against the background of other infections that progress in the body: tooth decay, sinusitis, pneumonia, bronchitis, etc.

In addition, chronic prostatitis can develop through an unequal acute process of bacterial origin.

The stagnation of the secretion of the prostate occurs in the pelvic organs due to the blood stagnation, what on:

  • Irregular sex life.
  • Sedimentary.
  • Wear tight underwear.
  • Bad habits (alcohol abuse, smoking).

The stagnating form can be found in 85% of the cases of chronic prostatitis.

The factors that increase the risk of developing the disease of both forms include:

  • Regular microtrauma, blue spots of the pelvic organs.
  • Improper nutrition.
  • Nervous overload.
  • Sex life mistake.
  • Humanization and a long stay in an environment with increased moisture.

These factors either cause a deterioration in blood supply to the pelvic organs or increase the possibility of infection in the prostate gland.

The diagnosis of chronic prostatitis is more often made to representatives of some professions than people with a different kind of activity.The risk group includes:

  • Trucker and other drivers (forced to be in the same position for a long time).
  • Programmer, office worker (sitting lifestyle).
  • Fischer (stay in the cold for a long time).
  • Professional athletes: football player, wrestler, volleyball player, basketball player (often the risk of injury in the pelvic area).
  • Sailow and geologists (confronted with unwanted weather conditions: cold, moist).
