Prostatitis is a disease that all men fear. It is a condition in which inflammation of the prostate develops, easily leading to serious complications. Each year, the disease affects more and more men and is getting younger. So, according to the statistics of doctors, in 30% of men aged 30-35 years, an inflammatory process of the prostate is diagnosed. In the over 50 age group, inflammation is present in 50% of men. In people over 65, prostatitis is diagnosed in 70% of cases. In the absence of treatment, the disease begins to progress slowly but steadily, ultimately leading to the development of oncology. If you start to fight the disease immediately, as soon as it makes itself felt, using a combination of drugs and folk remedies for therapy, you can count on a quick and full recovery. Do not be afraid of being diagnosed with "prostatitis" because this disease is not cancer and with proper treatment can be successfully cured. At the slightest suspicion, you should consult a doctor and together with him choose the optimal treatment.
What can cause prostatitis
There are many reasons why prostate inflammation begins to develop, and very often they are associated 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 invade the entire genitourinary system. In such a situation, prostatitis, as a rule, is diagnosed when the underlying disease becomes apparent, and it is because of this that they consult a doctor.
- Entering the urine ducts of the prostate- this occurs with a violation of the process of urination, 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 and tight pants and underpants leads to the fact that the blood circulation in the pelvic organs is intermittent. As a result, the prostate overflows with blood, which leads to its chronic injury, after which there are disturbances in its work and nutrient supply. It is because of this that an inflammatory process develops in the prostate.
- Interruption of sexual intercourse,artificial prolongation of sexual intercourse or prolonged abstinence - all this leads to the fact that the secret of the prostate does not leave the body, and its stagnation occurs, which becomes the cause of inflammation.
- Hormonal disorders in the body- in case of failure in the production of sex hormones, a significant increase or decrease in the activity of glandular cells occurs, which causes inflammation. Most often, prostatitis occurs in this way in old age.
- A sharp decrease in immunity- when the body's natural protective barrier weakens, pathogenic bacteria, which are usually present in small amounts in the urethra and do not cause damage, begin to multiply, causing an inflammatory process.
- Severe hypothermia- it causes the onset of the disease, because the cold leads to a decrease in local immunity and an impairment of blood circulation in the pelvic organs.
Whatever the cause of the disease, it should be treated immediately and according to all the doctor's recommendations.
