Prostatitis

Prostatitis is a disease that, according to statistics, strikes every tenth man. Pathology is diagnosed mainly at the age of 30-50 years.

Many men are embarrassed to talk about the symptoms of prostatitis to a doctor, which leads to the transition of the disease into a chronic form, complicates treatment and turns into problems with reproductive function. It is important to start therapy at an early stage of the pathological process.

About what drugs for prostatitis in men are most often prescribed and considered the most effective, further.

What is prostatitis

Prostatitis is a disease characterized by an inflammatory process in the prostate gland (semen). The glands perform a number of important functions, one of which is the production of certain ejaculatory secretions that protect and feed sperm. The fluid contains enzymes, proteins, fats, hormones, without which the reproductive system will not be able to carry out its duties normally.

Another important function of the prostate is to dilute the sperm, making the sperm more mobile and more likely to reach its target.

If the inflammatory process begins in the prostate gland, its work is interrupted. In this case, the man felt characteristic symptoms.

Causes and signs of prostate inflammation

The main source of the development of prostatitis is the penetration of infection and stagnation in the tissues of the seminal glands. Bacteria and germs enter the prostate from:

• genitourinary organs;
• focus of distant chronic infections with blood flow (caries, sinusitis, sinusitis, influenza, pneumonia, tonsillitis, furunculosis);
• inflamed organs (inflamed rectum), etc.

Factors before the development of this disease:

• long abstinence from sexual intercourse;
• wearing clothes that are too tight;
• alcoholism, smoking, drug addiction;
• frequent sexual disturbances;
• damaged ejaculation;
• irregular sex life;
• hypodynamia;
• frequent constipation;
• conditions that suppress the immune system (stress, unhealthy diet, lack of sleep);
• single or permanent hypothermia;
• the presence of chronic infections (bronchitis, tonsillitis, cholecystitis);
• strong sexual arousal, after which intercourse does not take place;
• delayed urological diseases (cystitis, urethritis);
• transmission of genital infections (gonorrhea, trichomoniasis).

Hyperplasia, or prostate adenoma, with a benign course, can also provoke the development of the disease. In addition, perineal trauma is a predisposing factor at the onset of prostatitis. This is often seen in motorcyclists, vehicle drivers, cyclists, etc.

It should be noted that bacterial prostatitis is diagnosed 8 times more rarely than non -infectious. The last main cause is stagnation in the glands. This leads to difficulties in blood circulation through small vessels, edema of prostate tissue, increased oxidation of lipid free radicals. All these processes create conditions for inflammation and severe pain in the perineum and genitals.

During the period of exacerbation of prostatitis in men, there are:

• increased urination;
• urine may come out with blood impurities, pus; mental disorders - irritability, lack of sleep, restlessness;
• violation of the process of urination - can be difficult, painful;
• pain in the scrotum, rectum and penis;
• erectile dysfunction.

With deterioration, body temperature may rise slightly.
