Chronic prostatitis, classification
Inflammation can be caused by bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms; it can also be triggered by hypothermia, bad habits, poor diet, and a sedentary lifestyle.
Chronic prostatitis in men manifests itself in different forms:
- Contagious- developed due to the harmful effects of microorganisms
- Not contagious or stagnant- caused by congestion in the pelvis (ejaculatory stagnation, prostatic secretion or venous blood)
In advanced cases, when there is no treatment, the normal form of the disease can develop into chronic calculous prostatitis. With this pathology, against the background of inflammation, stones are formed in the gland itself and its ducts.
Asymptomatic prostatitis is characterized by the absence of symptoms and complaints from the patient and is only detected during examination.
The most common is the abacterial or stagnant type, it is diagnosed in 95% of patients.
Causes of chronic prostatitis
Basic factors that contribute to the development of the disease:
- lack of physical activity is a direct path to impaired blood supply to the pelvic organs due to congestion;
- unhealthy diet, fatty foods, alcohol, smoking;
- frequent restrictions during sexual intercourse (for example, to prevent the partner's unwanted pregnancy) or its interruption;
- infection in the genitourinary system due to poor personal hygiene or infection through a partner;
- frequent body hypothermia;
- weak immunity, constipation, inflammatory phenomena in the body, including diseases of the upper respiratory tract;
- endocrine diseases, hormonal imbalance;
- surgical operation on the pelvic organs.
Despite the various causes of chronic prostatitis, the symptoms show themselves in the same way. Most often, this is pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen.
Symptoms of chronic prostatitis
Symptoms of the disease may subside or increase over time. This indicates an inflammatory process. You can not expect that everything will go away on its own or self-medication, the consequences will be sad - impotence, infertility, oncology.
A modern clinic or men's health center specializing in the treatment of chronic prostatitis has helped hundreds of patients regain sexual vitality. It is important not to waste time and get help if you are worried about the following symptoms:
- disturbing pain in the perineum, radiating to the anus, lower back, inner thighs;
- erectile dysfunction;
- premature ejaculation, dullness of sensitivity during and after sexual intercourse;
- frequent (more than twice) urination, especially at night;
- constant feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder, "damp flow. "
Depending on the stage of the disease and the individual characteristics of the body, the symptoms vary, but the pain always increases and gets stronger. With exacerbation, painful sensations during ejaculation, erectile weakness, and infertility are added.
Modern urology distinguishes four categories of chronic prostatitis:
- acute bacteria - type I;
- chronic bacteria - type II;
- abacterial chronic - type III, (with inflammation - IIIa, without inflammation - IIIb);
- asymptomatic - type IV.
Methods for diagnosing chronic prostatitis
If the characteristic symptoms are present, the urologist can easily make a diagnosis and also conduct a standard survey and examination.
Laboratory diagnostics help identify the presence of inflammation, the type of disease-causing agent, and usually consist of taking and examining blood tests, urine and prostate secretions.
It is also necessary to exclude the presence of prostate adenoma, oncology, tuberculosis, because these are diseases with similar symptoms.
Instrumental examination - ultrasound or TRUS - allows you to determine the changes that occur in the prostate gland, identify its size, density, the presence of stones, and neoplasms.
Only after making an accurate diagnosis, the doctor decides how to treat chronic prostatitis in this particular case.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis
Depending on the characteristics of each patient's body and the cause of the disease, the treatment regimen for chronic prostatitis is prepared individually.
Drug treatment includes taking comprehensive painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs, and in the case of an infectious process, antibiotics. The most effective medicine to normalize the outflow and clean the prostate. In addition, it is necessary to take vitamins and immunomodulators to nourish the damaged tissue; in case of problems with blood circulation, venotonics, anticoagulants, and blood thinners are also prescribed.
In modern clinics, effective treatment of chronic prostatitis includes a unique method - lymphotropic therapy. This is the introduction of the drug subcutaneously to the area located near the lymphatic vessels. At the same time, the absorption of the drug is significantly improved and the effect of the drug is enhanced, because it quickly spreads throughout the lymphatic system, and from there it reaches the desired organ or tissue.
You can increase the outflow of fluid from the prostate and normalize blood circulation in the pelvic organs by signing up for a massage for chronic prostatitis. This procedure is performed by an experienced urologist if there are no contraindications. For men who are absolutely against this method of treatment, it is useful to do the following exercises, which also have a positive effect on eliminating congestion in the pelvic area.
- Initial position- legs spread shoulder width apart, hands clasped behind the head. As you inhale, squat down, extend your knees to the sides as far as possible, and as you exhale, take your starting position.
- Stand up straight, take turns lifting your legs with bent knees, trying to reach your chin.
- Sit on a small ball on the floor, stretch your legs, rest your hands, take a comfortable position. Roll the ball with the muscles of the buttocks and genitals, making circular movements with them.
- Lie on your back, hold the ball between your bent knees. Inhale, squeeze your knees tighter, and exhale, relax.
Long walks and cycling also stimulate blood flow to the pelvic organs and are recommended in complex therapy.
Additional physiotherapeutic procedures performed on the doctor's recommendation:
- magnetic therapy;
- phonophoresis;
- laser therapy;
- electrical stimulation.
You can get rid of chronic prostatitis, or at least weaken the syndrome, using the following proven folk remedies.
- raw pumpkin seeds or their oil. It is enough to eat a small handful of peeled grains, and use the oil for salad dressing;
- Drink a decoction of dried fruit (pear) without sugar throughout the day;
- green parsley, its seeds and juice are another folk remedy for prostatitis and impotence;
- at home, before going to bed, give rectally for a month a suppository made of propolis and cocoa butter (sold in a pharmacy).
If the course of treatment for chronic prostatitis does not bring the desired results, and the patient's condition worsens, hospitalization is indicated. In rare cases, when the inflammation cannot be treated and becomes life-threatening, surgery is indicated.
Why is chronic prostatitis dangerous? Neglect of the disease, shame and fear of seeking help from a doctor can lead to serious complications. The inflammatory process will eventually spread to the urinary system, and as a result, new diseases (cystitis, urethritis, kidney failure, vesiculitis). Long-term inflammation of the reproductive system can cause the formation of prostate adenoma, initially it is a benign neoplasm, but over time, without proper treatment, it can become malignant.
In addition to the above, complications of chronic prostatitis include infertility, impotence, complete depression, loss of interest in life.
Do not bring yourself to this state! The cost of treatment in any case cannot be compared to the cost of your life. A good urologist will build a course of treatment so that you will feel like a complete person with minor problems. How long the course will last depends on your desire to recover and contact a specialist in time. The prognosis is good in most cases.
After the treatment of chronic prostatitis, repeated tests were taken, the results confirmed the recovery (the level of leukocytes in the blood normalized, the results were negative for the presence of bacterial flora in the prostate fluid).

Diet for chronic prostatitis does not include everything spicy, fried and salty. It is also better to remove alcohol and sugary soda from the diet. You can only drink dry wine in small doses.
