What is chronic prostatitis in men? The inflammatory disease of the prostate gland is called prostatitis. The prostate is inflamed, increases in size and can overlap the urethra. Often the disease takes on a chronic form - chronic prostatitis - chronic inflammation of the prostate gland (chronic inflammation of the prostate). This happens quite quickly, especially if it is not treated.

There are two forms of chronic prostatitis:
- Bacterial (infectious). It is caused by various infections - fungi, bacteria, viruses, etc.
- No infectious (stagnant, not -bacterial, nails). The disease is caused by various external factors and lifestyle of a person.
Reasons
Bacterial prostatitis occurs due to damage to the gland with different types of bacteria. The following factors may serve as the causes of the development of chronic infectious prostatitis in men:
- Permanent hypothermia, severe cold / influenza / sore throat.
- Chronic or acute cystitis.
- Incomplete emptying of the bladder, stagnation of urine, urological diseases.
- Diseases of the entire system of geniral organs.
- The presence of sexually transmitted infections (IPP), frequent unreadable sexual relations.
- Fungal diseases of other organs (most often there is candidate prostatitis).
The presence of infection in the body weakens immunity, contributes to the rapid spread of infection throughout the body and can cause an acute form of chronic prostatitis. Is chronic prostatitis dangerous? Fungal prostatitis occurs due to Candida mushrooms. These mushrooms are constantly in the human body, but if for some reason their active growth begins, they can cause many diseases in different internal organs and mucous membranes. Mushrooms begin to multiply due to the wrong lifestyle, bad habits, overeating a sweet, inactive lifestyle, a change in the balance of the microflora, the presence of infection in the blood, and others at first glance completely harmless causes.
Can be caused non -bacterial prostatitis:
- With blood stagnation in the veins due to a sedentary lifestyle.
- Wearing too close linen, shorts and pants. Continuous pressure of the organs of the crotch can lead to stagnant phenomena in the prostate.
- An irregular sex life. Sex stimulates blood circulation in the prostate gland. It is useful for increasing blood circulation in prostate veins.
- Having bad habits (alcoholism, drug addiction).
- Lack of physical activity.
Symptoms
Chronic prostatitis is characterized by the following symptoms:
- Discomfort during urination of urine flow is weak. There may be acute pain.
- Feeling incomplete emptying of the bladder.
- Painful sensations in the lower abdomen (abdomen).
- Perineum pain (the distance from the anus to the genitals), which can be given to the scrotum.
- Erection deterioration, libido reduction, reduction of sexual contact.
- The morning erection (involuntarily) can periodically disappear or at all the abyss.
- After sexual contact, stretching pain in the penis head may begin, which disappear after 20-30 minutes.

Occurrence and development
Chronic forms of prostatitis are dangerous with their prolonged asymptomatic course (latent course of the disease). Most men do not feel acute symptoms and pain syndromes, so they do not turn to mild discomfort. There are several stages of chronic prostatitis. The chronic stage of the disease begins with poorly expressed symptoms. This can be pain after sex, a slight flow during urination, pulling sensations in the crotch or other unexplained manifestations. This stage can last for several months, up to several years. The signs of the disease may increase or do not manifest at all. In addition, prostatitis can worsen and go into an acute chronic stage. All symptoms begin to appear, pronounced in nature. At the same time, there may be no complications for other human organs and the quality of life. After the sharp stage, especially if it is not spent quality, complications will follow. The most common diseases are cystitis (inflammation of the bladder) and pyelonephritis (inflammation of the renal pelvis).
Complications
What diseases cause chronic prostatitis?
- Vesiculitis (inflammation of the testes, appendages and seed bubbles).
- Potency problems (impotence, irregular erection, poor or complete absence of ejaculation, etc. ).
- Infertility. It can develop due to complications in disease or for psychological reasons.
- Prostate cancer. An increase in the number of free radicals in chronic prostatitis can affect the growth of cancer cells.
- Prostate sclerosis (prostate tissue compaction, change in its size can affect the functioning of the main functions of the organ).
- Constant slowdown in the urine in the bladder, reducing the function of the urethra.
- Psychological problems. The presence of such a delicate problem can affect the self -evaluation of a person, which will lead to a state of constant stress. Against this background, nervousness, irritability, depressive states, psychological barrier in sexual contact and other problems related to the psyche may occur.
Diagnostics
Once the first signs of prostatitis have occurred, you should contact a urologist immediately. It will conduct the necessary examinations to identify the cause of chronic prostatitis.
The diagnosis includes:
- Grease from the genitals. Microscopic examination of urethral spread. With its help determines the level of leukocytes in the secret of the prostate. It should usually be from 0 to 5. If the level is more than 10, the patient may be in prostatitis.
- IPP analyzes.
- Analysis of venous blood for a specific prostate antigen PSA (PSA).
- General urine analysis.
- Palpation of the prostate (examination of the finger). During the study, the doctor performs a secret analysis for a further examination.
- Prostate ultrasound.
- Prostate tractal ultrasound (prostate examination through the rectum).
- In advanced cases, a selection of prostate biopsy material is possible (a piece of fabric is separated from the organ).
All diagnostic measures can be taken on one business day. The results of such a review are prepared within 1-3 business days.
Treatment
How to get rid of chronic prostatitis forever? Each case of treatment of chronic prostatitis is considered individually. Treatment depends on the cause of the disease, concomitant diseases and conditions, stage and prostatitis.

In addition, before you go to bed, you can make infusion of chamomile infusion through the anus through microclystein (pear).
- 500 ml of lyden honey (is an anti-inflammatory agent) mix with 100-150 grams of nuts. Nuts can be left completely intact, cut into small parts or completely ground. The mixture is insisted for at least 14 days. If the nuts are ground or finely chopped, then you should wait 20-30 days until the oils are completely mixed. You should eat 1-2 tablespoons of honey a day. It is recommended that you take the mixture in the morning, but you can eat nutritional treatment at any time of the day. The course is 30 days.

A rest of 14-30 days is then taken and the course can be repeated by reducing the number of drops daily (in each subsequent course the number of drops is reduced / increased). The same procedure can be performed with rear water. Both herbs are poisonous!

You need to eat light foods, low -fat meat, vegetables, fruits, you can cook steamed.
Small invasive technologies
- Thermotherapy. It is performed at a medical institution (transverse and transitional heating of the prostate through electromagnetic radiation).
- Laser therapy (heating of the prostate gland through the urethra).
- Needle ablation (prostate heating occurs with the help of special therapy needles).
Massage and exercise

Chronic stagnant prostatitis requires massage and regular physical activity. The massage can be done with a finger (the finger is placed in the anus, then the prostate with the release of the drops of the secret is massaged) or a special device (part of the device is inserted into the rectum, then rotated slightly in different directions to mark the well -desired area). Gymnastics is useful for all types of prostatitis. You can just perform simple exercises every day within 15-30 minutes. Make exercises in the lower body more often. Squats, inclinations, swings, legs, legs, easy running. Clean step and more.

- Allows the body to be better and faster to saturate with oxygen,
- activates metabolic processes in the digestive tract,
- improves mood
- Increases muscle tone,
- increases the elasticity of blood vessels,
- Increases skin elasticity,
- Heals the whole body.
How to live with chronic prostatitis
People who are successfully treated with chronic prostatitis live a completely ordinary life. They have no problems with erection and ejaculation (even if they are, they pass quite quickly without touching the mental psyche). Can I have sex with chronic prostatitis? A young man, a male man, an elderly man - each of them can actively have sex in chronic prostatitis. Sexual contact will not only harm people with prostatitis, but it will be extremely useful! It will also be possible to conceive children if the inflammation of the prostate gland has not spread to the internal organs that are next to it (especially this applies to the testes and seminal vesicles). If a person in sexual contact has semen, conception should happen.
Exacerbation
Remission, what is it? Chronic prostatitis at the remission stage (weakening of symptoms) may show false that the disease has withdrawn, but it is worth provoking prostatitis again, it will come with new spicy stages with terrible, pronounced symptoms. How to treat exacerbation of chronic prostatitis? Large amounts of clean water, rest and drug therapy will help reduce pain: :
- Antibiotic (at temperature),
- antipyretic (at temperature),
- analgesic,
- Soothing drugs,
- antispasmodics.
Forecast
What is the prognosis for chronic prostatitis? Chronic prostatitis is completely difficult to treat. The causes of some types of disease have not been fully studied. At any moment, the disease treated earlier can be returned. Compliance with preventive measures will help to delay the emergence of exacerbations.
Prevention

Preventing chronic prostatitis in men involves several simple conditions:
- Do not become ill with prostatitis (the chronic stage always follows due to late, incorrectly treated or not cured prostatitis).
- Protect the pelvic area (injuries, hypothermia, etc. ).
- Change lifestyle if necessary (you have to lead the right lifestyle).
- Abandon bad habits.
- Preventive examinations from a urologist once every 12 months.
- Physical activity.
