Fateful frontier. How a man overcome a midlife crisis

Psychologists say that the main causes of personality "dramas" are hormonal changes, decreased sexual activity and self-confidence. However, in women, this turning point occurs after 45 years, while men face the first signs by 40.

Why a man in his prime can face a decrease in potency?

Approximately one in three men between the ages of 20 and 40 suffers from prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate gland). The causes of the development of the disease are divided into two groups: much more rare - infectious and more common - non-infectious, associated with impaired blood circulation in the tissues of the prostate gland. The first signs of prostatitis are pelvic pain and urinary problems. And then a decrease in the quality of sexual life joins:

• decreased libido;
• erectile dysfunction (duration and quality);
• premature or painful ejaculation;
• weakened or absent orgasm< / li>

With age, the situation worsens, since manifestations of benign prostatic hyperplasia join the symptoms of prostatitis. Thus, untimely treatment of prostatitis not only worsens the health of a man in general, but also affects the relationship with his spouse.

At the first signs of prostatitis, it is important to consult a specialist for competent recommendations for the treatment of the disease. Prostatitis therapy is a comprehensive approach:

• Antibiotic therapy - prescribed only in cases of overt infection. Currently, doctors are trying to limit the use of antibiotics as much as possible, given the growing resistance of microbes to them and unwanted side effects. The Ministry of Health is developing steps to combat the uncontrolled use of antibiotics;
• Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to relieve pain, swelling and inflammation;
• Herbal medicine - used for treatment and prevention, and, in contrast to antibiotics, long-term administration is possible. The use of herbal preparations for chronic inflammation is fully justified due to their high efficiency and safety.
• Prostate massage, physiotherapy, physiotherapy.

Today, a large number of drugs and dietary supplements for the treatment and prevention of inflammation of the prostate gland are presented on pharmacy shelves.
