The causes of the pathology
Experts say that for these reasons education of the disease:
- The weakening of immunity – are reduced protective barrier, which prevents the development of many viral infections;
- Infectious processes – viral elements, microbes, bacteria through the blood helena lymph paths, fall in the prostate. A symptom of this phenomenon – the temperature in prostatitis increases;
- Sedentary lifestyle – causes a disturbance in the blood supply, oxygen deficiency;
- Defects in the circulation due to sluggish points in the region of the genital organs – occurs because of a disorderly sexual life, long abstinence from sexual contacts, irregular genital sexual relations.
Inflammatory events in the prostate may start as a result of penetration of microbes, but for the development of the infection need a pathogenic microflora which may be formed due to the following factors – the presence of a harmful addiction, constipation, hormonal disorders, trauma, hypothermia, and td.
The same causes of prostatitis in men, can be called:
- Hormonal disorders — there is a version that increased the production of testosterone.
- An adverse effect on the prostate tissue, causing her swelling, and inflammation. No less dangerous and hormonal failure, which weakens the urogenital function.
- Disorders of the immune condition — when the body works "to the limit", he will reduce the protective function. He is not able to resist bacteria and viruses, which penetrate into it from the outside, helen cannot cope with relapses of chronic processes.
- Passive sexual life — a man who has irregular intimate relationship suffering from stagnant phenomena, which lead to inflammation.
- Bad choice of tactics of sexual intercourse — it is no secret that many couples as a contraceptive method practice interrupted intercourse. They know that by preventing proper outflow of the semen. In addition, due to the PAP is disturbed the mechanism of leakage and blood, which are actively rising to the authorities of the small pelvis and helps maintain a satisfying erection.
- A sedentary lifestyle in men — sees to the stagnant phenomena.
- Urethral reflux — arises on the background of bacterial lesions of the urethra. In violation of the mechanism of reverse the outflow of urine, its part gets into the seed path and is a bacterial infection of the prostate.
- Violation of the diet — if the diet present harmful food, with a predominance of animal fat and lack of protein and fiber, it has an effect on the hormonal background and fulfilling the work of the intestines.
- Excessive obsession with exercise, especially with the use of steroid drugs.
- Hypothermia — lead to decreased immunity and development of pathogenic flora.
- A chaotic sexual life — increases the risk of sexually transmitted diseases. Sexually transmitted infections in men occur frequently hidden, while the hitting of the prostate tissue. According to the research, in 78% of cases the cause of the inflammation directly helena indirectly are Trichomonas, chlamydia, giardinelli, gonorrhea.
The prostate has its own mechanism of self-defense: she produces a secret, which has antibacterial properties. But in the presence of aggressive pathogenic factors, can not cope with the load and inflammation. The men active in the reproductive age (18-50 years old) are most commonly encountered in acute prostatitis. In middle age the main causes of prostatitis are sedentary way of life, hypothermia and irregular sexual life. It is in this period of acute the process, the symptoms of which you did not pay attention, they began to timely treatment, has all the chances go in the chronic. For the male population over the age of 50 years are characterized by three pathological processes of the prostate:chronic prostatitis, adenoma, adenocarcinoma.

Young men who have sexual intercourse without contraception (a condom), have a high risk of the disease due to the penetration of pathogenic microorganisms (chlamydia, mycoplasma, etc.). In addition, the incidence of prostatitis happens due to any internal chronic diseases. The harmful bacteria reach the prostate with the flow of serums helena blood. Pathological microorganisms can also "go down" in the prostate to the urethra. Then the disease causes diseases of the urinary system (urethritis, pyelonephritis) when a weakened immunity.
- Stagnant processes. Are manifested in obesity, sitting life style, as the microcirculation of blood in the pelvic organs is disturbed. To the prostate gland as a result of not getting the necessary amount of oxygen and nutrients.
- Injury. Due to mechanical damage to the tissues and organs of the small pelvis (OMT) may occur stagnation, inducing an inflammatory process. These cases often occur in truckers in force professional activity, associated with long-term sedentary position and constant trauma chair, beating on the OMT.
