Most of us are used to us that we need to carefully monitor the health of our hearts, worry about the health of the lungs.But few men remember that they need special care for the "second heart" - prostate gland.
This is a small organ, the size of a walnut.Not every man knows where he is and what he intends.But it is often one of the most significant reasons for the health problems of human half of humanity.In addition, problems can exceed a teenager and an elderly Aksakala.
Like any other disease, prostate inflammation - the most common prostate gland disease - is easier to prevent than treating and easier to treat in the former than posterior stages.Therefore, it is extremely important for each man to know the symptoms of this disease in order to contact a time urologist.
The prostate gland, or prostate, is an organ of muscle, which is an integral part of a man's sexual system.It is located in a small pelvis under the bladder, weighs only about 20 to 30 grams.The main function of the prostate, if we speak a simplified language, is to produce a liquid that is part of sperm.
Despite its modest size (the size of a small nut), this small piece of iron can defeat any Hercules.
According to the World Health Organization, every third man among the inhabitants of Europe and the United States at least once noticed symptoms of inflammation of the prostate gland.Each fifth man has chronic prostatitis.
Prostate adenoma, which has signs similar to prostatitis, is detected in 10 to 15% of men over 50.The numbers of the growing number of prostate diseases in young men, especially chronic forms, as well as forms that lead to infertility are especially disturbed.
It is easy to acquire the inflammation of the prostate, but is treated for many years.
Urologists and Andrologists - doctors who treat prostatitis - usually call this disease "silent disease" because at first it may not declare its existence.When this disease is noted, as a rule, we are already talking about complications of prostate gland inflammation.
Each patient is distinguished by himself, a special course from the disease and the causes of its occurrence.
The causes of prostatitis
Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate gland.The main cause of the disease is blood stagnation in the pelvis.It may provoke it from gastrointestinal tract disorders, which manifest in the form of frequent constipation and intestinal disorders.Among other reasons:
- violations of the immune system;
- sexually transmitted, other infectious diseases;
- Circulatory failure in the penis;
- irregular sex life;
- Neuroendocrine disorders in the body.
Prostatitis symptoms
The characteristic symptoms of the inflammation of the prostate gland are disturbances of the urinary system.The reason is that with inflammation, the prostate increases in size and begins to squeeze the urethra.In the absence of treatment, the inflammatory process causes sclerosis of the bladder neck and, in the case of a more severe development of the disease, the ureter can be completely blocked.
The second important feature is the disorder of sexual function.This manifests itself in the form of an erection weakening, the weak severity of orgasm.As a result, impotence and infertility develop.
Other characteristic signs of prostatitis:
- burning sensation in the groin and urethra (urethra);
- Unpleasant sensations in prostate and urine during intestinal movements (defecation);
- Increased and increased urination intensity;
- Difficulty and intermittence of urination;
- Urethra pH discharge of intestinal walls;
- Floating "threads" are noticeable in the urine;
- At night, there are long inexplicable erections;
- acceleration of ejaculation during sexual intercourse;
- Deleted orgasm;
- Increased general fatigue;
- Depressive and anxious state, mental depression in anticipation of complications;
- Deterioration of an erection.
Not all listed symptoms are observed immediately.So don't wait for all the "bouquet" - as soon as you noticed one or two of the symptoms described above - go immediately to an expert.Do not consult friends, do not self -assert yourself, because everyone has their own symptoms and their own disease course.
Other signs may appear over time.To appear:
- pain of a painful nature at the base of the penis root;
- pain in the scrotum region;
- Perineum pain.
Doctors include infertility, in which sperm are produced but lose their mobility among later symptoms.
Strengthening painful pains may indicate that the stones formed in the prostate gland.Getting rid of them is much harder than kidney stones or even gallbladder.When detected, the doctor can only slow down your education with the help of drugs in the future and increase existing ones.
Often, the urologist is already addressed in these stages when prostatitis also affects the work of other organs and systems.In this case, other experts need to be involved in treatment.
