Prostatitis is a disease that all men are afraid of. It is a condition where inflammation of the prostate gland develops, easily leading to severe complications. Every year the disease affects more and more men and is getting younger. So, according to the statistics of doctors, in 30% of men aged 30 to 35 years, an inflammatory process in the prostate gland is diagnosed. In the group over 50, inflammation is already present in 50% of men. Among people over 65, prostatitis is diagnosed in 70%. In the absence of therapy, the disease begins to slowly but surely progress, eventually leading to the development of oncology. If you start to fight the disease immediately, as soon as it made itself felt, using a combination of medications and folk remedies for therapy, then you can count on a quick and complete recovery. Do not be afraid of the diagnosis of "prostatitis", as this disease is not cancer and with proper treatment can be successfully cured. At the slightest suspicion of it, you should consult a doctor and choose the optimal treatment with him.
What can cause prostatitis
There are many reasons for the beginning to develop inflammation of the prostate gland, and very often they are combined with each other. As the main provocateurs of the disease, doctors today call:
- Sexually transmitted diseases and infectionssexually transmitted diseases - it is not uncommon for diseases to develop imperceptibly for a long time after entering the body and take over the entire genitourinary system. In such a situation, prostatitis is usually diagnosed at the moment when the underlying disease becomes apparent, and it is because of it that they seek medical attention.
- Entering the ducts of the prostate gland of urine- this happens if there is a violation of the urination process, in which the circular muscles of the urethra gradually relax.
- Circulatory disorders in the pelvic organs- they are observed when a sedentary lifestyle, wearing very tight, tight trousers and underpants leads to the fact that the blood circulation in the pelvic organs is intermittent. As a result, the prostate gland overflows with blood, which leads to its chronic injury, after which there are disturbances in its work and supply of nutrients. It is because of this that an inflammatory process develops in the prostate gland.
- Interruption of intercourse,artificial prolongation of sexual intercourse or prolonged abstinence - all this leads to the fact that the secret of the prostate gland does not leave the body and its stagnation occurs, which becomes the cause of inflammation.
- Hormonal disorders in the body- in case of a failure in the production of sex hormones, a significant increase or decrease in the activity of gland cells occurs, which becomes the cause of inflammation. Most often in this way, prostatitis occurs in old age.
- A sharp decrease in immunity- when the body's natural protective barrier weakens, pathogenic bacteria, which are usually present in the urethra in small quantities and do not cause harm, begin to multiply, provoking an inflammatory process.
- Severe hypothermia- it provokes the onset of the disease, since cold leads to a drop in local immunity and impaired blood circulation in the pelvic organs.
Regardless of what caused the disease, it should be treated immediately and in compliance with all the doctor's recommendations.
