It is the prostate that ensures the development of a secret that makes up the main volume of sperm, that is, a substance that performs the function of transport of spermatozoa outside.The prostate, on the other hand, overlaps the urethra during sexual arousal, which does not allow sperm to get into the bladder, we can say that the prostate gland works like a valve.Another important function of the prostate gland is the production of prostaglandins, which are the type of hormones.
It is clear that without the treatment of prostatitis (as well as the adenoma of the prostate about which we will talk about below) violates the normal functioning of the prostate gland, and leads to the development of disorders in the work of the genitourinary system in general, so the treatment of these urological diseases should begin as early as possible, optimally - as soon as the first symptoms and signs were discovered.
Acute and chronic prostatitis
There are acute (rarely) and chronic prostatitis, the signs and symptoms of which are manifested in different ways, respectively, treatment of acute and chronic prostatitis is also performed.
It is worth noting that the treatment of chronic prostatitis (and prostate adenomas) is a very time -consuming process, and the result of drug treatment is not always positive (with a prostate adenoma, the surgery most often leads to recovery of the patient), therefore, the prevention of prostatitis is very important, and for prevention, you need to know the reasons leading to the development of prostatitis.
The disease most often has an infectious nature, that is, it is caused by various types of infection.The reasons that start the mechanism of development of prostatitis can be:
- Hypothermia
- The presence of foci of infection in the body (pyelonephritis, caries, cystitis, and so on)
- Sedentary work and sedentary lifestyle, contributing to the development of stagnant phenomena in the pelvic organs
- The irregularity of sexual activity
It is not easy to treat and cure prostatitis, these tasks should be solved by a highly qualified urologist in a well-equipped clinic, and the patient should contribute to the success of treatment with his cooperation.
Symptoms of prostatitis
Symptoms of acute and chronic prostatitis, as already mentioned, are somewhat different from each other.Acute prostatitis makes itself felt by symptoms characteristic of a rapidly developing inflammatory process:
- Fever, chills;
- Intoxication of the body;
- Intensive pain in the groin and in the perineum;
- Difficulty urination, sometimes urination becomes impossible (there is an acute urinary retention);
- Frequent, painful urination, reaching maximum frequency at night;
- Sometimes there are discharge of pus from the urethra.
These symptoms and condition of the prostate gland (which are determined by a finger of a rectal examination), as well as the results of urine and blood tests, allows you to identify acute prostatitis with certainty.
Chronic prostatitis usually has weakly expressed features, which also manifest only during periods of exacerbations of the disease, most often signs of chronic prostatitis are the pain in the groin, in the lower abdomen and in the perineum, as well as the difficulties of urination.
Such an erased picture can also be observed with inflammation of the bladder (cystite), which, incidentally, often gives relapses in patients with chronic prostatitis despite the treatment, therefore, for high-quality diagnosis of chronic prostatitis, the doctor usually prescribes laboratory tests to determine the infection of the prostate with any microorganisms.
It must be said that chronic prostatitis occurs much more often than acute, moreover, its treatment is more complicated, and the prognosis is less optimistic, so you need to start the treatment of chronic prostatitis as early as possible, and even better to prevent prostatitis, timely treatment of inflammatory processes in the body: it is known that such a disease, like chronic prostatitis, treat and cure it is much more difficult to prevent;We can say that often prostatitis is the result of a man’s frivolous attitude to his own health!
How to treat and cure prostatitis
Let's say right away, we will not give any recipes and tips on how to treat and cure prostatitis at home.They simply do not exist!Chronic prostatitis is a serious disease, often complicated by infectious diseases of other organs of the genitourinary sphere, microorganisms that cause prostatitis, differ in significant variety, therefore, the diagnosis and treatment of prostatitis should be treated with all responsibility, start it immediately after detecting signs of prostatitis, and begin - with the diagnosis, identification and elimination of the causes that caused prostatitis, fromDevelopment of a competent treatment strategy.
Prostate adenoma - symptoms, treatment, surgery
Some believe that prostate adenoma is a complication of prostatitis.This is wrong.Prostate adenoma is an independent disease, and it, unlike prostatitis, is not an infectious nature.However, prostate adenoma often has symptoms resembling prostatitis, in particular, pain and difficult urination.
Prostate adenoma is the most common urological disease in men, in old age, most of them reveal its symptoms and turn to the urologist for the treatment of this ailment, which, as a rule, consists in surgery to remove the adenoma.
