How to treat chlamydial prostatitis

One of the most common infectious diseases that affect the reproductive and urinary system is chlamydia. Most often it affects the reproductive system, resulting in chlamydial prostatitis. The defeat of the prostate appears as a result of chlamydia of the urogenital nature.

Scientists have proven that almost every year about 35% of all men of different ages suffer from this disease. If adequate medical treatment is not started in a short time, then serious consequences can occur. Chlamydial prostatitis can become chronic, which is already quite difficult to cure.

Symptoms

In a normal healthy state, a person does not have chlamydia, regardless of both men and women. If in a laboratory study, namely in a smear, this bacterium is found, then the person has an infectious process. In some cases, when there are no clinical manifestations, doctors allow a certain equality between the state of the body and the infection. In this case, reproduction is absent, without preventing it. When the balance is disturbed, chlamydia actively begin to divide and multiply.

In almost 50% of sick men, prostatitis occurs without any complaints, symptoms and without deterioration in the quality of life. This infection is detected absolutely by chance, with certain examinations and analyzes. Only after a long time, when the infection begins to multiply rapidly, the disease makes itself felt. There are acute and obvious symptoms that begin to disturb the man. There is an advanced form, when the patient was not treated or did not know about his disease, due to the absence of symptoms. With this form, the patient:

The above clinical symptoms may appear in combination, or in part. Very often erroneous is the state when the patient ties these symptoms to other diseases. Only at advanced stages, a man goes to the doctor, where, after certain examinations, he is diagnosed with chlamydial prostatitis.

Forms and factors of disease occurrence

The disease appears as a result of the penetration of a bacterium such as Chlamidia trachomatis. This pathogen belongs to the gram-negative group of bacteria. The duration of the incubation period is up to 4-5 days. But complaints appear rather late.

Urologists say that Chlamidia trachomatis may not show itself for a very long time. With hidden symptoms, prostatitis is very unpredictable and dangerous for a man. Chlamydia is transmitted directly through sexual contact. The bacterium is not transmitted through the household or airborne route. This disease is observed in those men who are not protected and live a promiscuous sex life.

In the primary stages, the bacterium first infects the lining of the urethra. After that, an inflammatory process begins to occur in the area where the mucosal lesion began. If you do not start adequate treatment, inflammation processes can move to neighboring organs and tissues.

There are several forms of chlamydial prostatitis:

• Catarrhal;
• Parenchymal;
• Follicular.

In the catarrhal form, a typical manifestation is unbearable pain in the area of the localization of the prostate. If you start palpation at the site of the prostate, the pain begins to intensify. With instrumental and ultrasound studies, with this form, the prostate does not increase in size at all.

The parenchymal form is quite rare. It proceeds very difficult, the main manifestation of prostatitis is an increase in the length and width of the prostate. The allocated secret is changed in consistency. It is rather difficult to treat the parenchymal form, the prognosis is unfavorable for a man.

The follicular form appears as a result of untreated catarrhal or complication. Examining the prostate, you can identify areas with a slight seal. The form is treated, the duration of which depends on the severity of the course.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis of prostatitis does not provide any difficulty for the doctor. During the established diagnosis accelerates the process of treatment and improvement of the patient's condition. The definition and diagnosis is established on the basis of certain research methods and clinical manifestations. The most important of them:

• A swab of fluid that is discharged from the penis;
• Laboratory examination of a man's semen;
• Clinical analysis of urine;
• Ultrasound examination of the prostate and others pelvic organs;
• Microscopic examination of discharge from the prostate.

Also, clinical manifestations of prostatitis can be observed in the form of a decrease in the release of fluid (semen). This condition occurs during the attachment of bacteria to spermatozoa. In the future, a man may experience a very dangerous condition, like infertility.Therefore, you should not self-medicate, or wait for the disease to disappear by itself.

Treatment

Drug therapy should be started only after a complete examination and diagnosis. Treatment of chlamydial prostatitis begins with antibiotic therapy. While taking antibiotics, men may experience some intestinal problems. The reason for this is the effect of the chemical compounds of the antibiotic on the intestinal flora, resulting in a violation of the absorption of nutrients. Therefore, in addition to antibiotics, it is necessary to prescribe drugs that improve and protect the intestinal walls.

So, in addition to antibiotics, you also need:

• Probiotics (Acipol, Linex);
• Medicines that increase the immune system;
• Massage in the prostate area (improves nutrition and blood circulation of the organ);
< li>Diet (increase the intake of foods containing proteins and fiber, refuse fatty, salty and sweet foods);
• Refusal of alcohol and tobacco;
• Physiotherapy.

It will also be useful to play sports, relax in a sanatorium and a healthy lifestyle. It is necessary to exclude a sedentary and inactive lifestyle, so you must always keep in good shape. When symptoms appear, you need to urgently contact the clinic. If this disease is not treated, the consequences are quite unfavorable.
