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 acquires a chronic form - chronic prostatitis - chronic inflammation of the prostate gland (chronic inflammation of the prostate). This happens quite quickly, especially if not treated.

There are two forms of chronic prostatitis:
- Bacterial (infectious). It is caused by various infections - mushrooms, bacteria, viruses, etc.
- Non -infectious (stagnant, non -bacterial, claws). The disease is caused by various external factors and lifestyle of a person.
Reasons
Bacterial prostatitis occurs due to the damage to the gland with various types of bacteria. The following factors can serve as the reasons for the development of chronic infectious prostatitis in men:
- Constant hypothermia, strong cold / flu / sore throat.
- Chronic or acute cystitis.
- Incomplete emptying of the bladder, urine stagnation, urological diseases.
- Diseases of the entire system of genitourinary organs.
- The presence of sexually transmitted infections (IPP), frequent illegible sexual relations.
- Fungal diseases of other organs (most often there is candidal prostatitis).
The presence of infection in the body weakens immunity contributes to the rapid spread of infection throughout the body and can provoke an acute form of chronic prostatitis. Is chronic prostatitis dangerous? Fungal prostatitis occurs due to mushrooms of the genus Candida. These mushrooms are constantly in the human body, but if for some reason their active growth begins, they can provoke many diseases in different internal organs and mucous membranes. Mushrooms begin to multiply due to the wrong lifestyle, bad habits, overeating sweet, inactive lifestyle, a change in the balance of microflora, the presence of infection in the blood and other seemingly completely harmless causes.
Nebacterial prostatitis can be caused:
- With a stagnation of blood in the veins because of a sedentary lifestyle.
- Wearing too close underwear, shorts and pants. Constant squeezing of the crotch organs can lead to stagnant phenomena in the prostate.
- Irregular sex life. Sex stimulates blood circulation in the prostate gland. It is useful for increasing blood circulation in the prostate veins.
- The presence of bad habits (alcoholism, drug addiction).
- Lack of physical activity.
Symptoms
Chronic prostatitis is characterized by the following symptoms:
- Discomfort during urination, a stream of urine is weak. There may be sharp pains.
- A feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder.
- Painful sensations in the lower abdomen (abdominal area).
- Pain in the perineum (the distance from the anus to the genitals), which can be given to the scrotum.
- Deterioration of erection, decrease in libido, reduction of sexual intercourse.
- The morning erection (involuntary) can periodically disappear or the abyss at all.
- After sexual intercourse, stretching pains in the head of a penis may begin, which disappear after 20-30 minutes.

Emergence 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 weakly expressed symptoms. It can be pain after sex, a weak stream during urination, pulling sensations in the crotch or other unexpressed manifestations. This stage can last from several months, to several years. Signs of the disease can increase or not manifest itself at all. Further, prostatitis can worsen and go to an acute chronic stage. All symptoms begin to appear, are pronounced in nature. At the same time, there may not be complications to other human organs and the quality of life. After the acute stage, especially if it was not spent qualitatively, complications will follow. The most common diseases are cystitis (inflammation of the bladder) and pyelonephritis (inflammation of the renal pelvis).
Complications
What diseases does chronic prostatitis cause?
- Vesiculite (inflammation of the testicles, appendages and seed bubbles).
- Problems with potency (impotence, non -regular erection, weak or complete absence of ejaculation, etc. ).
- Infertility. It can develop due to complications for illness 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, a change in its size can affect the performance of the main functions of the organ).
- Constant urinary delay in the bladder, reducing the function of the urethra.
- Psychological problems. The presence of such a delicate problem can affect a man’s self -esteem, which will lead him to a state of constant stress. Against this background, nervousness, irritability, depressive states, psychological barrier in sexual intercourse and other problems associated with the psyche may appear.
Diagnostics
After the first signs of prostatitis occur, you must immediately contact a urologist. He will conduct the necessary examinations to identify the cause of chronic prostatitis.
Diagnosis includes:
- Smear from the genitals. Microscopic examination of a smear from the urethra. With its help, the level of leukocytes in the secret of the prostate is determined. Normally, it should be from 0 to 5. If the level is more than 10, the patient is perhaps in prostatitis.
- Analyzes for IPP (smear).
- Analysis of venous blood for a specific prostatic antigen PSA (PSA).
- General urine analysis.
- Palpation of prostate (finger examination). During the study, the doctor takes a secret analysis for further examination.
- Ultrasound of the prostate.
- Transrectal ultrasound of the prostate (study of the prostate through the rectum).
- In advanced cases, a selection of material for a prostate biopsy is possible (a piece of fabric for research is separated from the organ).
All diagnostic measures can be passed in one working day. The results of such an examination 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 time of prostatitis.

Folk remedies
Treatment with folk methods can give positive results, but self -medication with prostatitis should be under the supervision of a urologist. Incorrectly selected means can lead to irreversible consequences - infertility, cancer, impotence and other, extremely undesirable complications of chronic prostatitis. First you need to undergo all examinations and take tests. Medicine therapy can be combined with treatment with folk remedies.
- Pumpkin seeds. Pumpkin seed contains a large amount of zinc. To improve the general condition and reduce inflammation, you need to take 30 seeds (10 in the morning, 10 in the afternoon, 10 in the evening). Seeds are taken 30 minutes before eating.
- Daisy infusion (1 tablespoon of dried chamomile or 1 bag is brewed 200 ml of boiling water and insisted for 25-30 minutes). In the morning, day and evening, 200 ml per 1 hour before eating. Also, before going to bed, you can make the infusion of chamomile infusion into the anus through microclysteen (pear).
- 500 ml of linden honey (is an anti-inflammatory agent) mix with 100-150 grams of walnuts. Nuts can be left completely intact, chopped into small parts or completely grind. The mixture is insisted for at least 14 days. If the nuts are ground or finely cut, then you need to wait 20-30 days, while the oils are completely mixed. Per day you need to eat 1-2 tablespoons of a honey mixture. It is recommended to take the mixture in the morning, but you can eat a nutritious treat at any time of the day. The course is 30 days. After that, a short break (7-10 days) is made and you can repeat the course. With caution, take with high blood sugar.
- Western infusion. A tablespoon of dry grass or chopped fresh celandine is poured 100 ml of vodka or Kagor. It is infused in a warm dark place with a cover closed for 14-30 days. Take the first day 1 drop, then increase the dose by 1 drop per day. The course is 14 days. Then a break of 14-30 days is made and the course can be repeated by reducing the number of drops every day (in each subsequent course, the number of drops is reduced / increased). The same procedure can be carried out with a backwater. Both herbs are poisonous!
- Parsley juice (twist fresh greens in a meat grinder and squeeze the juice). Take 1 dessert spoon 3 times a day.

You should eat light foods, low -fat meat, vegetables, fruits, you can cook steamed.
Small -invasive technologies
- Thermotherapy. It is carried out in a medical institution (transrectal and transient heating of the prostate by electromagnetic radiation).
- Laser therapy (heating of the prostate gland through the urethra).
- Needle ablation (prostate heating occurs using special needles for therapy).
Massage and physical exercises

In chronic stagnant prostatitis, massage and regular physical activity are necessary. Massage can be carried out with a finger (the finger is inserted into 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 it is slightly rotated in different directions to marked the desired area well). Gymnastics is useful for all types of prostatitis. You can simply perform simple exercises every day within 15-30 minutes. More often perform exercises on the lower parts of the body. Squats, inclinations, swings, legs, legs, easy run. Clean step and others.

Sexual intercourse 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 did not spread to the internal organs that are next to it (especially this applies to testicles and seed bubbles). If a man in sexual intercourse has sperm, conception should occur.
Exacerbation
Remission, what is it? Chronic prostatitis in the stage of remission (weakening of symptoms) can falsely show that the disease has receded, but it is worth provoking prostatitis again, it will come with new spicy stages with terrible, pronounced symptoms. How to treat an exacerbation of chronic prostatitis? A large amount of pure water, rest and drug therapy will help reduce pain: :
