Signs of prostatitis in men

Almost all of us have heard of prostatitis, but not everyone knows what this word means.Prostatitis is an inflammatory disease of the prostate gland in men.The prostate gland is a purely male organ, so prostatitis is a purely male disease.It should be noted that it is one of the most common in men in the field of urology.

The prostate is located under the bladder.This body is responsible for the normal functioning of male organs and the continuation of gender.Additionally, iron controls the level of hormones in the blood, such as steroid hormones, androgens, and estrogens.

For various reasons, the prostate becomes inflamed, which leads to a decrease in the quality of life in the stronger sex.Let's try to understand what the causes of the disease and its symptoms are.

Signs and symptoms of prostatitis

Prostate symptoms in men depend on the severity of the inflammation.Conditionally, 3 phases can be distinguished.

  1. There is a feeling of discomfort in the lower abdomen.Frequently entitled to the cabinet, a burning sensation during urinating.Disorders influence the sexual sphere (weak erection, painful ejaculation, premature ejaculation during an act with a partner, a man ceases to experience an orgasm).

What causes inflammation of the prostate gland and what are the causes of the development of the disease?Let's try to understand it.

Reasons

Representatives of medicine identify the following common causes of prostate gland disease in men:

  • weakened immunity;
  • hypothermia of the legs and the body as a whole;
  • Venereal diseases.The drain appears from the head of the penis, painful wounds and an unpleasant smell appear on it;
  • infections caused by various types of bacteria;

In addition, the cause could be tight and uncomfortable trousers.Inactivity, sedentary work.

Among the reasons also:

Alcohol and cigarettes are believed to reduce the overall resistance of the body to diseases.An aggravating factor is a poorly satin diet of vitamins and minerals.

These are only the main reasons.Some doctors believe that in some cases the causes of prostatitis are hidden in depth on a genetic level.

Species

Prostatitis has several classifications.Doctors divide it according to the causes of its occurrence, the nature and development of the disease, the duration and concentration of the source of the disease.Let's take a closer look.

Infectious prostatitis

The danger of this disease is that the infection affects not only the prostate, but also nearby organs (bladder, rectum).

The main reason is the weakening of the body's immune forces, which can lead to:

  • diseases (AIDS, tuberculosis, diabetes and others);
  • hypothermia;
  • stressful situations,
  • heavy physical activity;
  • bad habits, drug addiction.

When the body's defenses are reduced, it is unable to fight many viruses.The following viruses can cause inflammation of the gland:

  • intestinal stick;
  • staphylococcus;
  • Pseudomonal stick;
  • Chlamydia and Trichomonas;
  • Mycoplasma bacterium.

The infection penetrates the body as follows:

  1. Through the urethra.This can happen with illegible sexual relations, as well as in case of insufficient personal hygiene.
  2. Hematogenous route.The infection enters the prostate organ with infected blood.This happens with diseases such as tonsillitis, pneumonia and others.
