If we transfer the concept of Achilles’ heel to the sexual realm represented by the strong half of human beings, then the prostate will play its role. Acute or chronic inflammation always poses a threat to health. The causes of male prostatitis vary widely, so it is not easy to treat. Even with the advancement of medicine, genitourinary pathology is still one of the most common pathologies, in addition, the disease is "young". In order to diagnose correctly, you need to know what causes prostatitis.
The term used for exclusive male diseases is based on two concepts: prostate (Latin for "prostate") and prostate cancer (Latin for "inflammation"). Prostatitis is a form of andrological pathology of the inflammatory process in the prostate gland. For many reasons, the "second heart" in the male body no longer adapts to its function, threatening to develop suppuration, loss of libido, impaired ejaculation, infertility and other unpleasant phenomena.
Age is not included in the list of factors that cause pathology in men. The real statistics are unknown. Considering the correct diagnosis, the registered cases indicate that approximately 35% of young people aged 30 to 40 face this diagnosis.
Among young and mature men, other causes of prostatitis are considered more important and threatening:
If infectious inflammatory bacteria and other pathogens can cause acute forms of urological pathology, then other factors can also cause chronic disease. The danger of this variant of prostatitis lies in the long and usually asymptomatic course of the disease. The characteristic signs cannot be recognized immediately, and men are reluctant to contact a specialist because the disease worsens regularly. The inflammatory process continues to develop, and the following factors can lead to the appearance of chronic prostatitis:
When the infection enters the human body through the external genitalia, the result of bacterial activity is inflammation of the prostate tissue. The acute course is clinically obvious, so when diagnosing male prostatitis, problems rarely arise.
To avoid discomfort that may affect performance, it is useful to understand the main causes of acute prostatitis in men, including:
In terms of its nature, the etiology of male prostatitis is different, the most common being the role of pathogens. One type of bacteria can cause pathological development after sexual intercourse, while another type of bacteria can cause urethritis, pyelonephritis, and cystitis. The infectious agent enters the prostate from the urethra or rectum. Timely inspection can find the presence of Klebsiella, Enterococcus, Trichomonas and other types of bacteria that cause prostatitis.
This type of prostatitis is more common in mature men, while younger men are less likely to get sick. It is difficult to recognize pathology, so over time, it will become a chronic disease. Men may have no symptoms of this form of prostatitis, and only have a burning sensation in the perineum. The slight pain that radiates to the inner thighs after walking a long distance may indicate the existence of urological non-infectious pathology, which is exacerbated by the fact. What factors cause venous blood stagnation in the small pelvis?
The main causes of male prostatitis are:
Congenital abnormalities may be the cause of stagnant venous blood and secretions in male prostatitis. Violation of the gland structure can reduce sexual desire or lead to suppression of sexual activity. Insufficient production of special hormones responsible for erection makes it difficult to ejaculate. Special secrets accumulate in the ducts, and since men's ejaculation is damaged and the tube is not completely empty, the stagnation phenomenon continues to develop.
Urology diseases cannot be spread by themselves. However, medical practice has proved that there are risks: during sexual intercourse, the infectious agent can enter the tissues, and then the bacteria will enter the prostate, causing inflammation.
The following factors constitute a set of acquired causes of prostatitis:
Only based on the results of the comprehensive examination can the urologist make a correct diagnosis for the patient. In order to determine the nature and form of the disease, the doctor will conduct a medical history check and perform routine and urological examinations. In order to understand the clinical situation and possible causes of discomfort, the specialist will perform a rectal examination of the prostate, which is a painful but extremely necessary procedure.
Regular visits to the urologist can avoid certain diagnostic procedures.
The main content of the research is to diagnose male prostatitis, involving the following activities:
The doctor can advise on how to treat urological diseases only after performing diagnostic measures. In order not to cause serious complications or delay the treatment of prostatitis, it is meaningful for the patient to use the strategy chosen by the expert. In addition, it is important to follow the recommendations. The treatment of male prostatitis will depend on the nature of the inflammatory process: infectious or non-infectious.
The general treatment plan for this disease is as follows:
