A disease such as prostatitis is an exclusively male problem.Prostatitis develops against the background of a prostate infection.Some believe that this disease develops only in middle-aged men during age-related changes.This is absolutely not true.The risk of prostatitis increases from the moment you start an active sexual life.Prostatitis can be bacterial, non-bacterial, acute, chronic or asymptomatic.Each type can be treated in the early stages.Prostatitis in men is successfully treated at home.How to do it yourself using folk remedies?
What is prostatitis?
Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate.Many reasons can explain such inflammation.The main cause of the disease is infectious damage to the gland.Various bacteria can cause inflammation: Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter.It should be noted that these microorganisms are present in the microflora of every person.Only under favorable conditions does their active reproduction occur, which constitutes a pathology.
In addition, the development of prostatitis is influenced by the following factors:
- irregular sex life;
- Excessively active sex life;
- Presence of sexually transmitted diseases;
- Sedentary lifestyle;
- Bad habits;
- Poor diet.
In particular, a sedentary lifestyle and irregular sexual relations cause stagnation of the pelvic organs.Due to stagnation of ejaculate and blood, inflammation develops.In addition, blood circulation in the pelvic organs is disturbed due to some chronic diseases: atherosclerosis, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, dysfunction of the thyroid gland and the endocrine system.
Prostatitis is a pretty serious problem.And treatment of inflammation cannot be delayed.Indeed, against the background of chronic prostatitis, prostate adenoma and cancer often develop.Additionally, the disease leads to impotence.It is not difficult to recognize prostatitis.So, if a man gets up more than once at night to go to the toilet, there is a reason to consult a doctor.Frequent urge to urinate, feeling of unemptied bladder, pain during urination - these are the main symptoms of prostate inflammation.
Additionally, symptoms include decreased sexual activity, weak and insufficient erection, and premature ejaculation.Men with prostatitis often complain of pain.The pain spreads to the scrotum, testicles, lower abdomen, back and lower back.Sometimes there is pain in the anus during bowel movements.Prostatitis should be treated immediately.Treatment of prostatitis with folk remedies is possible.But in any case, even traditional therapy requires preliminary consultation with a qualified doctor.
