To all the boys in childhood that mothers, that grandmothers said: do not sit on the cold, everything will catch a cold there!Where it is there and what is so terrible because of this will happen, of course, we did not understand then.And the one who does not know about it now is happy.
In general, prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate gland.It is located on the road from our bladder to a member.The urethra passes through it.If the iron is inflamed, the channel is compressed and such a simple business as going to the toilet becomes very painful, long and painful.
There are three types of prostatitis.
- acute prostatitis;
- chronic prostatitis;
- Chronic pelvic pain syndrome.
Symptoms of acute prostatitis
Men, if:
- It hurts you to urinate
- Only moving away from the toilet, you again rush back, because you feel that not all urine came out,
- You constantly want to do so, even at night,
- At the same time, it hurts and burns between your legs,
- high temperature, you are thrown into heat, then in the cold,
You may have acute prostatitis.In any case, these are the symptoms of prostatitis.
Symptoms of chronic prostatitis
“Chronic prostatitis can be similar to other diseases,” experts explain.- Chronic prostatitis appears after several acute, especially if they are not completely cured.You may not have temperature, but you feel discomfort in the crotch or in the lower abdomen.Sometimes these complaints can appear after sex, excitement, or vice versa disappear.
Symptoms of chronic pelvic pain syndrome
Chronic prostatitis also includes a whole group of problems, which was called "chronic pelvic pain."By pain and discomfort, this is very similar to prostatitis, but during the examination, neither infection nor inflammation of the prostate - prostate is detected.This is the largest group of patients!To establish an accurate diagnosis and treatment in such cases, sometimes a consultation of not only a urologist, but also the help of a neurologist, a specialist in pain, a psychotherapist, and in severe cases, even a psychiatrist, is required.
- Patients over 45-50 years old in similar symptoms - rapid, difficult and painful urination - can give an adenoma or cancer of the prostate gland, - experts warn.- If the patient has such symptoms, many people who succumb to “advertising” of prostatitis in the media may not go to the doctor, treat prostatitis at home and miss more serious diseases as adenoma and cancer.Patients can also think, they have prostatitis, but in fact it can be osteochondrosis, radiculitis, and even cancer of the rectum.
The causes of prostatitis
Acute prostatitis occurs due to infection.You can pick it up during random sex without a condom.But other options are possible.
Normally, we are all covered with microbes.They live on us and multiply, but we do not even notice it.A person learned to live with microbes and even benefit from this.For example, a wand living in our intestines helps to digest food and it is better to absorb vitamins and beneficial substances.And everything goes well until we have an order with immunity.But, as soon as it is weakened, quite harmless bacteria can multiply too much and penetrate where it should not.
This happens if you:
- Frozen.Though during fishing, although going home in the rain with wet legs.
- They were subjected to unsuccessful medical manipulation.For example, you were taken a smear from the urethra and brought something.Or he simply scratched him and bacteria that are in the urine entered the wound.
- We decided to try something new in sex.For example, anal sex without a condom, or tried to cram something in a dick for the sake of acute sensations (there are real cases).
- We drank a lot of alcohol.Alcohol extinguishes immunity both directly and helps bacteria to get into a wrong place due to expanded veins and stagnant blood.The prostate iron swells, normal urine outflow is disturbed and it is easier to infiltrate the prostate.
Also, from the drunk you can pull on sexual exploits (and there are infections, do you remember?) Or will you fall asleep after a friendly drinking in the cold in the park, entrance, hallway (as long as enough strength - emphasize the right one).
What is dangerous prostatitis
“Acute prostatitis, if it is incorrectly treated, can reach the abscess - the accumulation of pus in the prostate gland,” experts explain.- This, in turn, without treatment can lead to sepsis- blood poisoning, if you are simple.If acute prostatitis occurs often, this can lead to scarring of the prostate gland, to a deterioration in sperm quality.
Regular exacerbation of prostatitis with improper treatment can lead to the appearance of chronic pelvic pain.The nervous system begins to respond to any changes in the area, as if there is prostatitis.A person goes to the doctor, he is once again prescribed antibiotics and anti -inflammatory drugs, but they do not help, since there is no inflammation and infection!Treatment does not help - a person begins depression.He closes on his problem, it seems to him that he is constantly hurting.And then it is already necessary to attract not only a urologist, but also other specialists, up to the psychiatrist.
“Of course, patients are worried about pain and other unpleasant sensations that prevent you from living normally,” experts supplement.- But to say that chronic prostatitis is dangerous with something ... He does not threaten globally life and health.There is such a misconception that with prostatitis there will be problems with an erection.But actually, the prostate has nothing to do with an erectile function.
Treatment of prostatitis
- Acute prostatitis requires an immediate appeal to the urologist!As a rule, you need to go to the hospital, everything is so serious, - experts warn.- If you delay, the abscess of the prostate gland may begin (roughly speaking, an abscess can form), you will have to do surgery and treatment of extremely long and unpleasant.Do not pull with a doctor!
Recently, chronic prostatitis has recently been said a lot, they remove advertising about funds from prostatitis, many people are trying to earn money on this topic.This is a very “convenient” diagnosis, even a headache is written off on it.“Does your head hurt?Oh, this is probably from prostatitis. "The treatment of prostatitis at home is by no means necessary!Treatment is long and complex.If it is not treated correctly, the prostate turns into a focus of a chronic infection, which then diverges through the body.
“If the diagnosis is made correctly, and therapy is selected correctly, then prostatitis is well lend itself to treatment,” experts explain.- But if we are dealing with chronic pelvic pain, standard drugs in the form of antibiotics and anti -inflammatory will not help.The process is more complex and long, but everything is curable.No need to lose heart and think that like a man he will have only problems.Psychological mood is very important in treatment!
- By the way, how often do you need to show the urologist?
“Young men, if necessary, only if symptoms appear,” experts advise.- Men after 45 years - 1 time in 12-24 months.
Medical remedies
As you already understood, prostatitis can be as many as three types.And they are all treated differently.
Treatment with acute prostatitis with medical remedies is primarily aimed at its cause - infection.Therefore, antibiotics are primarily used to treat acute prostatitis.
Then, to bring down the temperature and relieve pain, antipyretic and anti -inflammatory drugs are used.Often one drug copes with these roles.
Also prescribed drugs that relieve edema from the prostate and facilitate the passage of urine through it.
Treatment in chronic prostatitis is also directed against the aggravation of infection, to reduce inflammation, edema, to improve the nutrition of tissues of the prostate gland and to prevent the formation of connective tissue - according to simple scars or adhesions in the prostate.
By the way, many people think, then with prostatitis they do operations.But this is not so.
- In the global sense, the operation with prostatitis is not done.Unless we are talking about an abscess of prostate in acute prostatitis.Then it is opened and drained, experts explain.- Remove the prostate entirely only with cancer.If the patient has the so -called “cold”, i.e.The previously formed abscess, which was not treated or detected for one reason or another in acute prostatitis, but globally the patient has recovered, then the Tour - transurethral resection of the prostate in a delayed manner can be performed.
If we are talking about chronic pelvic pain, the treatment is completely different here and is selected in each case, depending on the cause that caused it.There are already unlimited options here.
Folk methods
The most popular folk method of treating prostatitis is heating.In the bath and various infrared lamps, a bag with heated sand and new -fangled devices, supposedly treating laser radiation and microcurrents.
Heating can really relax the prostate and relieve pain.But, since we already know that the main cause of prostatitis is an infection, it does not act on it in any way.Bacteria is even more pleasant to multiply in comfortable conditions.
Another popular folk remedy for prostatitis has become considered propolis.The Internet is simply full of recipes, how to make candles from propolis from prostatitis.
Propolis really has a small antimicrobial and anti -inflammatory effect.Many love him to suck in sore throat.But it is clear that with severe inflammation and to combat such an infection that causes prostatitis, it is too weak.
How to treat prostatitis at home
- ourselves - nothing.At home, you can follow the doctor’s recommendations and take the prescribed drugs, ”experts explain.- Microclisms with decoctions of herbs as part of complex treatment along with antibiotics and anti -inflammatory drugs give a good effect.But what collection to use in your case, you need to solve with the doctor, since everything is very individual and there may be an allergy to any of the components.
It is also very important to observe a diet with prostatitis!In acute prostatitis or exacerbation of chronic, it is necessary to exclude all those products that have an exciting effect on the body - alcohol, coffee, spices, etc.
Numerous folk methods of treating prostatitis are also described on the Internet.The most popular methods for treating prostatitis at home are pumpkin seeds, burdock root, fruits and a sheet of pears, parsley, onions, tea with honey, propolis, chestnuts, bear (red) root, horsetail and other plant remedies.
- Globally all of the above - nonsense.I always want to sell it to the naive layman, ”experts explain.- And he, in turn, really does not like to make efforts to maintain his health.How convenient it is to amuse yourself with the thought that by eating pumpkin seeds, you will be cured of all diseases.Cheap, fast, tasty and with minimal labor costs.This does not happen!
By the way, not that the method of treatment, but rather the method of preventing prostatitis is regular sex.During sex, blood supply is increasing, the secretion of the prostate gland in sperm is erupted - this is very good to combat stagnant phenomena!It will not help to cure, but for the prevention of prostatitis - the most!Just do not forget to protect yourself from sexually transmitted infections if you have sex with different partners.And yes, masturbation in this regard is worse - with it there is no such strong increase in blood flow as during sex.
