Chronic prostatitis symptoms treatment

There are many diseases that develop with the occurrence of inflammatory processes in the body. Among them highlight chronic prostatitis – inflammation of the prostate gland. Note that this disease most often develops in men, covers the organs of the urinary system. Despite the rather large number of ways of developing this disease, quite often there is exposure to infection. Chronic prostatitis symptoms are known to many men. Note the point that in most cases the disease develops owing to delays in seeking medical assistance. Many men do not pay attention to primary symptoms until the moment when manifested symptomatology does not lead to serious discomfort. Also, studies conducted recently indicate that in many cases of chronic prostatitis has no clearly defined symptoms, problems appear insignificant discomfort. If a chronic disease does not manifest itself, this does not mean that treatment does not need to. The infection modifies cells by introducing their DNA chains. After some time, may develop pathological changes, for example, appears with malignant neoplasms. That is why we pay special attention to signs of chronic prostatitis, acute manifestation of symptoms, the causes of the disease and peculiarities of the assigned treatment.

The distinction of chronic from acute prostatitis

An important point is that inflammation of the prostate gland is divided into acute and chronic manifestations. If the earlier problem with the prostate occurred in the elderly, now, research suggests that chronic prostatitis is more frequently diagnosed in men under the age of 50 years. After 50-year milestone this disease is often associated with prostate cancer. Chronic manifestation of the disease is inflammation of the tissues of the prostate, which can lead to significant discomfort or develop other diseases.

The main differences of the acute form, chronic can call the following points:

1. The duration of the disease and peculiarities of the development of the disease.
2. In acute manifestation of the disease symptoms appears suddenly. Within a few hours or days the main symptoms can be quite acute: severe pain, significant increase in temperature.
3. When the acute form passes quickly recovery, in case of chronic treatment can take several weeks or even months.

The chronic manifestation is characterized by the fact that the disease develops over several days or even weeks, prostatitis is treatable, often relapses.

Correct diagnosis can only by a qualified physician after completion of the survey. As a rule, to determine the causes of symptoms should consult a urologist. Lately, due to a substantial increase in the number of cases, men have even invented a special nutritional Supplement that is used as a preventive measure.

What are the causes of the disease under consideration?

In recent years, increasingly consider chronic prostatitis as an infectious disease. The causative agent in most cases is a pathogenic microorganism which multiplies in the body and causes the changes of the prostate tissue. Despite the fact that many systems of the body have their own flora, which can be rich in various microorganisms, the prostate is completely sterile. Chronic inflammation is caused by penetration into the body by various infections:

1. Gonorrhoeas.
2. Colon bacillus.
3. Staphylococcu's.
4. Tuberculosis'.

After the pathogen enters the body it begins to multiply, causing inflammation and various pathogenic changes.

In the chronic form, symptoms of the virus the process of change of cells occurs with a relatively low speed, the symptoms appear gradually. It should be noted that chronic prostatitis treatment often consists not in the suppression of the pathogen and treatment of the disease itself. It is connected with the fact that even after the viruses are removed from the body, the disease will continuedevelop. This is due to the fact that the primary change in the structure of the prostate tissue leads to the launch of an autoimmune process, i.e., cells begin to attack healthy tissue. That is why a separate group include abacterial form of prostatitis, which may develop without pathogen.

Ways of penetration of infection

You should pay attention to the moment that the main route of entry of the pathogen into the body is ascending. Example would be the movement of the infection through urethra which leads to infection of the prostate gland. Rare cases can be called the infection through the blood or lymph, as well as the transition of the pathogen from neighbouring authorities, for example, from the rectum or bladder.

The cause of the problem?

Pathogens considered of the disease can be found in almost all organisms, but the chronic form is manifested very rarely. Why disease in the chronic form develops in some men, this disease other bypasses? Conditions that predispose to the development of these diseases, the following:

1. When the pathological changes in the body is blood stasis in the prostate.
2. When the sedentary lifestyle, there is a chance of developing a chronic disease.
3. Most often the infection is transmitted through sexual intercourse. That is why men who are promiscuous, often suffer from infectious diseases, including prostatitis.
4. Narrow clothes and synthetic underwear, can create discomfort that leads to prostatitis.
5. Hypothermia, injuries in the region of the prostate, infection of other organs of the urinary system can cause inflammatory process.
6. In the case of infections only the immune system can fight the pathogen. The first symptoms that are associated with a significant increase in temperature, the appearance of weakness, associated primarily with the body's response to infection. T cells are produced by the immune system and begin to attack the pathogen.
7. Some external factors, for example stress, poor diet, alcohol abuse and excessive Smoking can cause significant weakening of the immune system.

Chronic prostatitis symptoms and treatment are closely interlinked. It should therefore be examined by a qualified doctor to ensure ongoing treatment brought the desired result.

What are the forms of disease?

When considering what is chronic prostatitis should pay attention to the selection of multiple forms of this disease:

1. The bacterial form of chronic inflammation of the prostate cell that begins due to contact with the virus. The diagnosis is made in the case where the analysis detected bacteria.
2. Abacterial form is also a chronic condition in which at the time of the survey not detected bacterial pathogens. With the possible manifestation of chronic pain in the region of the perineum.
3. Asymptomatic form of the disease symptoms are characterized by the fact that for a long time no symptoms of infection or the occurrence of the inflammatory process.

As a rule, inflammation of the prostate symptoms are quite a lot of discomfort only when significant development problems. Many men seek help only when significant pathological changes that occur in the body.

What are the symptoms?

Knowledge of how symptoms, to reduce the probability of a run of illness and development, because of this, complications. The main symptoms include:

1. The feeling of heaviness and pain in the perineum, the location of the direct intestine.
2. Severe pain and burning in the urethra also point to the development of the inflammatory process. And the pain may increase during urination or sexual intercourse.
3. Pain arising in the lower abdomen, also indicate inflammation of the prostate gland.
4. For violation of the prostate significantly increase urination. At the same time they are manifestation of pain.
5. Men may experience problems with sexual life: loss of erection, lack of orgasm during sex, premature ejaculation and other problems. In complex cases, infertility can also indicate the occurrence of the considered diseases.

When considering symptoms should pay attention to the fact, in most cases, about 4 out of 10, chronic inflammation of the prostate does not manifest striking symptoms. In short, in many cases, the diagnosis of chronic prostatitis is carried out with a significant delay, as the disease is asymptomatic.

What are the diagnostic methods?

You should note that diagnosis of the disease begins with a medical history. As previously noted, chronic prostatitis symptoms may be different: it all depends on what disease has led to the emergence of the pathogen in the body. Therefore, when observing certain changes, the emergencediscomfort, should pay attention to the features of the changes.

Other features of diagnosis reporting of disease can be attributed to the following points:

1. Some men do not pay enough attention to their health. That is why the main symptoms that occur periodically, not cause of seeking medical attention. However certain symptoms can help with diagnosis. Therefore, the physician should conduct a thorough survey to collect a comprehensive history.

   

2. After there is suspicion for the development of the inflammatory process to be performed palpation – palpation of the area in which the prostate is located. When inflammation of its size, usually significantly increased. Many men do not undergo examinations due to the peculiarities of the procedures of palpation, as it provides for the introduction of the forefinger into the rectum. Despite the primitive method, experienced doctors in this way we can determine tenderness of the prostate, its size, consistency and other factors that enable you to make the correct diagnosis. It is at this stage the diagnosis can already be determine treatment.
3. Bacteriological analysis also allows to determine whether the bacterium. As the sample is taken, the secretion of the prostate. In almost all cases a bacterial study, which
4. Modern method to determine state of internal organs can be called ultrasound. It is conducted as a supplementary method of examination because in this way you can obtain the exact shape of the internal organ, peculiarities of its structure.
5. Determination of PSA level is a modern diagnostic method that is applied in case of suspicion of the development of the inflammatory process of the prostate. Perform a similar examination in order to exclude the possibility of cancer or adenoma.
6. Another method of determining the condition of the prostate can be called perform a biopsy of tissues of an internal organ. This method is quite costly and difficult to implement, but necessary in the event of a suspected cancer or BPH.

When referring to a qualified specialist you can count on an accurate survey result. On how to correctly diagnosed, depends on the efficiency of assigned treatment.

The prescribed treatment

Chronic disease – a difficult task, since the result depends not only on the correct choice of drugs, but compliance with doctor's recommendations for healthy lifestyle or certain diets. Usually, the prescribed treatment is complex, can be represented:

1. A course of antibiotics directed against the causative agent is essential for a successful and speedy recovery. However, not all drugs of this group are suitable for solving the problem. In recent years, increasingly used drugs from macrolides group, as well as tetracycline. Long-term treatment, the choice of dosage – it depends on the activity of the disease and the degree of manifestation of symptoms. But antibacterially therapy should last no more than 2 weeks.
2. Prostate massage also can help with the problem. The massage aims to improve circulation of prostate secretion, which contributes to more rapid recovery. Note that a similar treatment is indicated only in chronic manifestation of the disease in cases of acute prostatitis perform massage can lead to severe pain.
3. Physical therapy also has a beneficial effect on the patient. To perform a physical therapy can use a variety of modern medical devices, for example, creating a low-energy laser beam.
4. Herbal medicine is an additional treatment that is used quite often. He is represented by the use of special preparations, which are made on natural basis.

In conclusion, we note that some treatment methods can harm in certain situations. Therefore, performing the self is not recommended. Some traditional methods can only reduce the degree of manifestation of symptoms, but does not cause the cure.
