What do others see? The man seems discouraged, depressed. For the questioning of home - refers to problems at work. The careful questions of colleagues answer that he is tired, you need vacation.
And only for the nearest friend (if there is one) or a beloved woman (if the relationship in the couple is really sincere) can, embarrassed, talk about what is happening.
For several days (or even weeks), something was wrong with urination. Urine flow is interrupted or flowing slowly, and the bathroom desire has become much more frequently. The feeling that I was emptied - but it seems not completely and you have to go to the bathroom again.
And he is seeking constant or periodic pain - painful and sometimes gives the groin a lot in the groin, in the lower abdomen. Of course there is no time for sexual exploration. But if proximity happens, it can only add negativity. Difficulties with an erection, accelerated or slow ejaculation can become even closer. But they can become a reason to contact a urologist.
Having evaluated three groups of symptoms - pain, urination and problems in the genital area - the doctor will probably suspect prostatitis. That Prostate inflammation, one of the most common urological diseases in men. How does this develop, how dangerous and prostatitis can be healed?
What is the danger of prostatitis?
The prostate, or the prostate, is located from the bottom of the bladder, "involves" the urethra - along it, the sperm moves during ejaculation. Why do you need a prostate and how do you work?
- Produces sex hormones.
- Participates in the restriction of urine and sperm emission.
- It prepares sperm for ejaculation - he dilutes her with a special secret, satura with nutrients, makes sperm mobile.
If inflammation occurs, the prostate gland increases in size, it may squeeze the urethra (hence the symptoms of prostatitis as difficulties with urination and ejaculation). The gland structure is disturbed - as a result, the quality of sperm suffers, which can lead to infertility. There are no pain receptors in the gland itself, so pain occurs in adjacent organs and tissues.
But the most important thing is these Signs of prostatitis They are very similar to those that occur with adenoma (benign increase) of the prostate gland. That's why Consultation of a urologist It is necessary for any discomfort in the genitourinary sphere.
And given the frequency of prostatitis in men - almost every man finds this disease in a sharp or chronic way - it would be good for the representatives of the strong half of humanity to have "their own" urologists for regular preventive examinations (women go to "their" gynecologist). The doctor, with whom a good contact has been established, is easier to talk about delicate symptoms, he is more comfortable to undergo exams. This will help discover The causes of prostatitis And treat it effectively.
Causes of prostatitis in men
Acute prostatitis in men occurs more often at an early age (up to 35) due to the infectious process. Symptoms intensify at high speed, the temperature may even increase. It causes the inflammatory process of hypothermia, various transmitted diseases, genitourinary infections, lack of hygiene, as well as constipation, anal cracks and hemorrhoids - the prostate is located near the rectum.
Exacerbate the situation and also launch Chronic prostatitis Factors related to a man's behavior:
- Due to a sedentary and sedentary lifestyle, blood circulation in the pelvic organs is disturbed;
- Rare sexual contacts, lack of masturbation lead to stagnant phenomena in the prostate;

How to treat prostatitis in men
The diagnosis of prostatitis has been well elaborated, but in the compulsory medical insurance system, the patient will have to tune frequent visits to the clinic, which men usually do not like. If prostatitis is suspected, there is:
- Pass an examination of the urologist, including a rectal finger examination - the doctor investigates the prostate gland through the anus;
- Pass a stain from the urethra to the STD;
- explore the secret of prostate quality and sperm;
- Do blood and urine tests, as well as make the bacterial sowing of the urine;
- Make an ultrasound of the prostate and bladder.
If you suspect an adenomic gland, additional investigation will be required, and if the cancer process is suspected, a biopsy may be required.
The advantage of "your" urologist in a well -equipped private clinic is that all these tests and procedures can be performed on a visit. As a rule, the doctor himself performs an ultrasound and prescribes the treatment of prostatitis, which immediately relieves the patient's condition and corrects him. It is important to understand that the treatment generally accepted for prostatitis does not exist - medicines are selected individually. In the case of prostatitis complications, surgical intervention may also be necessary.

It turns out that, having felt better, a man interrupts treatment - he stops taking antibiotics and other medications, massage with prostate and physiotherapeutic procedures. An experienced and attentive physician will be able to convince the patient: cure prostatitis means not only to remove inflammation but also establish the function of the prostate gland, and takes time.
