Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate.
The prostate is also a prostate, only in men. A small organ fulfills several functions: partly responsible for ejaculation, partly for urination, partly to protect against infections. If the prostate gets sick, the case is not limited to pain, for example. Problems begin throughout the genitarian.
In contrast to a common opinion, prostatitis is not an age -related illness.
An increase in the prostate and its cancer indeed occurs more often in older men, and prostatitis can be sick at any age.
How does it happen
Like most inflammatory diseases, prostatitis is acute and chronic.
- Sharp - this is the one who suddenly started and then either passed or turned into a chronic way. As a rule, an infection in this development of events is to blame.
- Chronic - the one that manifests itself through unpleasant symptoms and then calms down. This condition can take years. Unfortunately, it is the second option that is widespread, and its causes are not only contagious.
What are the symptoms of prostatitis
The signs of prostatitis differ slightly depending on the type of disease. The patients help little these details, but the doctor needs a diagnosis to make a diagnosis. Therefore, make sure to say you at the reception: if symptoms occur when you let up, which in your opinion served as the cause of the disease.
The main symptoms of prostatitis:
- Pain. The prostate is under the bladder between the paths on which urine goes and rectum. Therefore, it can be injured at the same time due to inflammation in several places: in the penis, around it, in the scrotum, around the anus or even in the lower abdomen or back. Pain can occur during ejaculation or after sex.
- Difficulties when urinating. Pain and combustion appears, you often have to run to the toilet, get up at night. It can be difficult to start and end the process, and blood can even appear in the urine.
- Discharges from the urethra. A thick liquid that you have not noticed before.
- Potency problems.
If one of the symptoms lasts more than three months, this is already chronic prostatitis. And if all these signs of acute prostatitis are noticeable and cannot be overlooked, chronically only manifest with erectile dysfunction.
When goes to the doctor
As soon as you notice the listed symptoms of prostatitis. It is necessary to carry out tests and carry out research in order to correctly diagnose and prescribe the treatment. Some studies are uncomfortable, but certainly not worse than prostatitis.
If you have a dysuria - you cannot even postpone a doctor for a doctor - the inability to go to the toilet. This is a dangerous condition in which the liquid continues to accumulate in the bladder. It is necessary to go to the hospital urgently or call an ambulance.
Where the prostatitis comes from
If prostatitis is infectious, the microorganisms that enter the urethra and have climbed to the prostate must get there from other types of infection. The infection is often liable for unprotected sex, so we have to think about the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases.
In all other cases, it is impossible to say why the prostate is inflamed. Due to the sedentary work and the lack of sport and the influence of bad habits, one can only accept a few stagnating phenomena.
If you have a prostate, you can get sick.
However, there are risk factors that indicate that health is in danger:
- Age of 30 to 50 years.
- Infections in the organs of the pelvis and the abdominal cavity (for example in the intestine).
- Acute prostatitis in the past.
- All operations and interventions in the genitarian.
- Pelvic injuries.
How to treat prostatitis
It all depends on the reason why it appeared. When bacteria are to blame, they are destroyed by antibiotics. Usually everything is limited to it. There are rarely complications that require surgery and surgical processing of the prostate.
If it is not microbes, try to reduce the symptoms with pain relievers and special products that relax the smooth muscles and help to solve urine problems. You use physical treatment, warm baths, physical education - everything that works and from which you become easier.
How to get prostatitis
Unfortunately, there are no 100 % reliable reliable measures to prevent prostatitis, especially when it comes to a chronic disease that is not caused by infections. There is no reliable data that will protect dietary supplements, a folk remedy or a breakthrough method. Everything we do not rely on irritating food, drink enough water to ensure normal urination, and protect ourselves from infections:
- Follow hygiene.
- Use condoms to prevent IPP.
- Infectious diseases, especially in the urinary tract.
- If uncomfortable symptoms occur, visit a doctor immediately so that you can start treatment as early as possible and not to start the disease.
