The inflammation of the prostate gland, unfortunately, is quite common disease. According to statistics almost half of men is of one or another age, if faced with this problem. The causes of inflammation may be different, and, therefore, in modern medicine, we highlight several types of the disease. One of them is prostatitis bacterial.
For the sake of so great a spread of the disease, many men are interested in getting more information about it. What are the causes of inflammation bacterial? What symptoms are worth paying attention to? What are the methods of the modern treatment are most effective?
What is prostatitis? The main forms of the disease
Before considering the question about what is prostatitis bacterial, it is worth to disassemble, what is the prostate, or prostate. It is a small organ that is part of the reproductive system. It is located just below the bladder, around the urethra. The prostate produces up to 70% of the seminal fluid, which is then mixed with the sperm which is formed in the testicles. Also, prostate plays a role in the process of ejection of sperm and maintains the erection. In addition, it affects the retention of urine.
Prostatitis is a disease, which is accompanied by an inflammatory process in the tissues of the prostate. Depending on the cause of development in modern medicine, we highlight several types of the disease:
- sharp prostatitis bacterial — inflammation in this case, develops in the context of infection of an organ-specific bacteria (for example, chlamydia, gonococci, and t. d.);
- the chronic form of prostatitis bacterial, usually develops in the midst of the incorrect therapy or its absence, the disease lasts for more than three months, the period of well-being changes conditions the inflammatory process);
- nonspecific prostatitis — inflammatory process of this disease driven by the activation of conditionally pathogenic microflora, or not associated with a bacterial infection;
- BessietOhm inflammatory prostatitis flows without explicit symptoms and often, the inflammatory process goes away by itself.
The cause of the prostatitis bacterial
As the name itself says, the inflammatory process in this case, is related to the activity of bacterial microorganisms. Causes of prostatitis bacterial often penetrate into the tissue of the prostate when the patient has sexually transmitted infections. Virtually all sexually transmitted diseases (for example, gonorrhea, chlamydia), can lead to inflammation of the prostate.
In middle-aged men as the pathogen can act and conditional pathogens, for example, escherichia coli. It is a slightly different pattern is seen in elderly patients. The fact is that many men older than 50 years are diagnosed called benign prostatic hyperplasia (accompanied by measurement of tissue). When such pathology evacuation the Secretarytornoy fluid from the prostate, difficult, in such a way that it begins to accumulate within the breast. Stasis of secretions leads actively the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms and, consequently, to inflammation.
Also prostatitis bacterial can develop in the midst of different pathologies of the urinary system. For example, the inflammation is much more frequently diagnosed in the middle of the bladder obstruction, urinary tract infections, epididymitis, urethritis. Distribution and penetration of infection inside it promotes phimosis (amendment extremely meat). Cause the inflammation of the prostate can be a variety of injuries of the perineum, the installation of urinary catheter, previously held CIStoscope (internal inspection of the bladder) or biopsy.
There are some risk factors?
As you can see, the causes of inflammation of the prostate may be different. In addition, there is the group of the so-called risk factors, which increases the likelihood of developing such as acute and chronic prostatitis:
- frequent infectious diseases of the urinary system;
- parasitic diseases;
- emptying incomplete bladder;
- the genetic predisposition;
- irritation mochevinodthis channel corrosive chemicals;
- subarrefecimento;
- indiscriminate sexual life (frequent change of partners and sexual contacts without condom use);
- smoking, use of drugs and alcohol (weakens the body's defenses);
- a weakened immunity;
- long periods of sexual abstinence;
- the strong dehydration of the body;
- wrong nutrition;
- neurological diseases of the urinary tract;
- constant stress, nervous exhaustion, emotional over-voltage;
- a sedentary lifestyle, which leads to stagnation of blood in the pelvis (increases the chance of inflammation not only prostate, but also some other nearby organs).
What are the symptoms accompanied with the disease?
Symptoms of prostatitis bacterial, usually quite characteristic. The disease begins acutely and develops quickly. Many times, patients in the first place, point out the increase of body temperature, weakness, LOMOtat in the body, fatigue, muscle pain, nausea and vomiting.
Along with this appear, and problems with the operation of the urinary system. The process of urination becomes painful and difficult, the urges are more frequent. However, the bladder is emptied. The jet during urination becomes weak, the urine acquires a rather unpleasant smell. May also be present, minor impurities of the blood. It is possible the appearance of pain and burning sensation in the urethra.
Patients often celebrate and other symptoms of prostatitis bacterial. In particular, it appears a pain in the area of the pubis, which also gives in the lower part of the back.

By observing these symptoms, should be immediately consult your doctor. The sooner the patient will receive a medical assistance, the lower is the probability of transition from a chronic disease.
Chronic prostatitis bacterial
Immediately it is worth noting that this form of the disease is quite rare. Chronic bacterial prostatitis may be related to the activity of the bacteria, which are protected from exposure to drugs, as well as the are deeply in the tissues of the prostate. Furthermore, some microorganisms become insensitive to broad-spectrum antibiotics impact.
The worsening of prostatitis bacterial accompanied practically the same symptoms, and the acute form of the disease. Can occur pain when urinating, abdominal pain, and perineal, the presence of blood in the urine and the sperm. On the other hand, the temperature increase and other signs of intoxication of the body are marked rarely. The aggravation gives way to a period of relative well-being — the man feels well, but any irregularity in the functioning of the urinary system and are still there. In particular, patients suffering from a variety of urges to urinate. Also occur erection problems (sometimes serious ERECtIlion dysfunction and decreased sexual desire.
Diagnosis of the disease
For a start, the doctor performs a physical examination and gathering the anamnesis, to get the full picture of your symptoms, the that is bothering the patient. Usually, this is enough to be suspected prostatitis and assign additional analyses.
The patient gives samples of blood and urine analysis which helps to detect the markers of inflammation. It is also necessary digital rectal examination prostate exam, which gives perhaps the your doctor to determine the dimensions, contours, texture of the organ, the degree of pain and a few other options. In addition, during the massage of prostate can-if you get samples of secretion, which is then sent for laboratory analysis. The sowing of samples helps to determine the type of infection and its degree of sensitivity in one way or another medication.
More research is carried out only in the case in which there is suspicion of complications. With the help of CIStoctopii the doctor can see and evaluate the state of mochevinodthis channel and the bladder. Sometimes, in addition, are carried out atроdDinamicheskie tests. Transrektor ultrasonography and computed tomography help to better examine the state of the prostate, to detect the presence of abscesses or stones. When there is suspicion of malignant tumor of the degeneration of the cells is performed a biopsy of the prostate.
Treatment of prostatitis
After the completion of a full inspection, a doctor will be able to draw up an efficient scheme of therapy. As a rule, in the first place, is assigned to the treatment of prostatitis bacterial antibiotics. In particular, it is quite effective anti-bacterial means are considered to be medicines containing tetracycline and ciprofloxacin. Depending on the degree of severity of the disease and the variety of infection-the therapy can last from four to six weeks. Sometimes, in the early days, the medication administered intravenously, and then go to the form of pills. When chronic, a form of inflammation, the treatment can last for up to 12 weeks.
Used, and other drugs for the treatment of prostatitis bacterial. In particular, to relieve the state of the patient may antispasmodics, which promote relaxation of the cervix, the bladder and reduce the pain during urination.
If necessary, the patient is prescribed medication, in particular, the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to help relieve the fever. Positively in the state of men affect the reception of a multi-vitamin complex, иммatномоdatляtHur, BIOStимatляtHur.
Other methods of treatment
In VosstANOVAta single phase, the patients are often recommend to perform prostate massage. Such a procedure helps to eliminate the stagnation of liquids, improve the cloth exchange, enhance immunity place, to restore the drain function of the prostate, and also increase the flow of blood.
Also during the treatment, can be used different methods of physiotherapy, in particular:
- the magnetic therapy;
- transiktAlina therapy ultrasonic;
- the electro-stimulation.
All these techniques contribute to the normalization of blood circulation and elimination of processes of stagnation.
When the need for a surgical intervention?
Operating the intervention is an extreme measure. It is applied only in the case in which a long medical therapy and other treatment methods do not give any effect. The surgical procedure of partial resection of the prostate is carried out, as a general rule, elderly patients. At a young age so radical treatment try to avoid it, because it sometimes leads to impotence and infertility. The operation most commonly prescribed to elderly patients when chronic forms of prostatitis, because they have many years of distress and problems with urination and constant headaches. If necessary, in addition, is performed the correction surgery, which helps you to retrieve the fourth way, normalize the work of the bladder.
Alternative forms of treatment of the disease
Of course, there are some other, less traditional methods of treatment of prostatitis. For example, sometimes a good effect to give medicines microclysters, treatment with leeches, acupuncture, massage.
Patients with forms of chronic disease recommend a spa treatment. It is also a positive for the state of the organism, the impact of special physical exercises, which help restore circulation and eliminate stagnation of blood in the pelvic organs.

What are the predictions for the patients?
It allows the treatment of prostatitis bacterial in men to achieve good results? Soon, it is worth saying that the success of the therapy will depend on many factors, including the stage and the form of the disease, age of patients, presence of comorbidities, and t. d.
Sharp prostatitis bacterial responds well to medical treatment. After just a few days after beginning therapy, the patient may notice a better well-being. On the other hand, the treatment wrong, his absence, or termination (for example, many times men stop taking the medication, when the disappearance of the symptoms, not finishing the full course) can lead to the development of a chronic form of the disease.
Chronic prostatitis — the disease, which is much more difficult to treat. Relapses may happen again and again. And, in such cases, doctors often recommend patients intervention operational. The results of the surgical treatment, usually positive. Once again, sometimes, the operation is troubling not very pleasant consequences.
