Prostatitis in young men

Until recently, older men suffered from prostatitis, now prostatitis is becoming more common in young men, and the consequences of prostatitis affect both the quality of life and reproductive capacity. The main causes of the disease in guys are infections and lifestyle.

Careless attitude to health, hope for the strength of a young organism - lead to the fact that the disease has become younger, now it is not uncommon in thirty-year-olds. Chronic prostatitis is often diagnosed by urologists even in those who are only eighteen. Although it is not difficult to treat prostatitis, it takes time and strict adherence to the doctor's recommendations.

Mechanism of disease development

Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland, it is an extremely vulnerable organ, since it is located directly next to the bladder, and any infection that enters the body through the urethra becomes dangerous for the prostate, which leads to inflammation.

The main causes of prostatitis in young men are stagnation of blood in the genital area, prostate secretion and infections.

Stagnation of secretion and blood occurs due to a pathological change in the structure of the prostate, this happens due to injuries, irregular or excessively active sexual life, hypothermia. The causes of prostatitis in young men are both excessive alcohol consumption (at a young age, other diseases in which alcohol is contraindicated are not yet tormented, often young people drink a lot), and smoking.

Infectious causes of the disease are associated with the structural features of the genital organs, the male urethra and urethra, due to their location, it is easier to contact sources of infectious microflora. Sometimes blood brings the infection, for example, if a person has the flu.

According to medical statistics, about 90% of cases of prostatitis depend on the human factor, the rest are the consequences of tonsillitis, flu, infection.

Factors leading to the development of prostatitis

Bad habits lead to the development of pathology. Even a regular bottle of seemingly harmless beer every evening after work affects male sexual health. Science has proven that it is beer that is evil, and often causes prostatitis in young men. This low-alcohol drink contains a high content of the female sex hormone - estrogen, which is able to block the production of the male hormone - testosterone. The connection between a decrease in testosterone levels and pathologies of the prostate gland has been noticed for a long time. By the age of 25, those who drink 0.5 liters of foamy drink daily have a high probability of getting prostatitis in a chronic form.

In addition, alcohol causes constriction of blood vessels, namely, they, which are located around the prostate in a multitude, deliver nutrients to it and enrich its tissues with oxygen, making it possible to function normally. In addition, alcohol negatively affects the functioning of the immune system, the infection easily takes over the body, drinking people get prostatitis more often than leading a sober lifestyle.

With vasoconstriction due to excessive alcohol consumption, there is a violation of blood flow, prostate tissue, not receiving the necessary nutrition, slowly atrophies, due to which deformation of its channels occurs, the secretion of the prostate stagnates, creating favorable conditions for the reproduction of bacteria, which leads to prostatitis.

Smoking also reduces the defenses and leads to narrowing of blood vessels, and if a person started smoking as a teenager, by the age of thirty and beyond, his body will become less and less resistant to diseases.

Now, young people are increasingly sitting, buried in monitors and gadgets with Internet access and various computer games, and this is the right way not only to prostatitis, but also to other unpleasant diseases.

A constant sitting position, a passive, sedentary lifestyle inevitably entail:

• Increased load on the internal organs of the pelvis;
• Deterioration of blood circulation due to weakening of the heart muscle;
• The tissues of the external and internal genital organs lack oxygen due to compression.

It turns out that by the very beginning of the third decade, the most reproductive age and the time of creating a family, when male strength and health are especially in demand, young people already have problems with potency and urination, and these are the first sure signs of prostatitis.

Yes, and if 25 years ago the work of a worker was held in high esteem and well paid, now it is in fashion to be a lawyer, manager, office worker. Already two or three generations of men of childbearing age have to sit at the table up to 12 hours a day. By the age of thirty, many representatives of the stronger sex have every chance of getting acute prostatitis. Taxi drivers and truckers are also at risk.

Prostatitis and sex

One of the most common factors leading to the development of prostate disease is unprotected sex with non-permanent sexual partners, you can get one of the genital infections by becoming infected:

• Chlamydia;
• Gonorrhea;
• Syphilis.

Women often get thrush, a man can catch it even from his wife.

The causative agents of these diseases, penetrating through the urethra into the bladder and prostate, lead to prostatitis of an infectious nature. Often the situation is complicated by a misunderstanding of the need to go to the doctor, and attempts to self-treat prostatitis give only a temporary effect, creating the appearance of a cure: the symptoms of prostatitis disappear, and the pathogen is still in place, which leads to the transition of the pathology into a chronic form.

Not only unprotected sex can lead to prostatitis, but also promiscuity in sexual life - it is extremely harmful to artificially interrupt or prolong sexual intercourse. After reading online ways to prolong pleasant sensations, young people do not think about how harmful it is to health, and how likely it is to earn prostatitis. During sexual intercourse, the following happens:

• The prostate produces juice;
• The seminal fluid moves from the testicles through the vas deferens;
• At the moment of orgasm, the penis sends a command to the brain to ejaculate, the ejaculation of sperm occurs through urethra.

Everything is arranged in such a way that normal ejaculation should occur instantly, sperm should not linger in the prostate. If the moment of ejaculation is artificially delayed, then the substances in the composition of the sperm will irritate the prostate mucosa longer than the natural period, which will lead to the appearance of foci of inflammation, that is, to acute prostatitis.

Due to the non-deterioration and high resistance of the young body, young people aged 18-25 can afford such experiments in order to diversify sex, but sooner or later, or rather, by the age of 30, they will have to hear the diagnosis of prostatitis.

Often, the cause of prostatitis is a frivolous, due to the arrogance of youth, attitude towards health. If you ask men aged 18-30 the question of which of them wears underpants in the winter season, with a high degree of probability, about 80% will answer that they don’t have such attire in their wardrobe at all. Whereas, due to the peculiarities of the structure of the genitourinary system, it is easier for the stronger sex to catch a cold than the weak one.

This applies not only to the penis and testicles, but also to the prostate, hypothermia for which is detrimental - that is why diving enthusiasts and regulars in ice holes with fishing rods in their hands face prostatitis after barely managing just a quarter of a century.< /p>

Everything is complicated by the fact that men, in principle, do not like hospitals. Taking antibiotics on their own and uncontrolled, relying on traditional medicine, they wait until the moment when the disease becomes chronic, which is why they lose their reproductive abilities and the opportunity to fully enjoy their sexual life, that is, male fullness.

Treatment

Treatment of prostatitis in young representatives of the stronger sex is the same as in older men, with one caveat - the young body has significant vitality and greater resistance to disease, therefore young people are cured faster, especially if prostatitis is detected in a timely manner, and treatment is started as as soon as possible.

Symptoms:

• Discomfort during urination, weak stream, pain, feeling that the bladder is full;
• Unstable erection, reduced or no libido, discomfort during ejaculation, prolonged inability to conceive during a planned pregnancy and regular work in this direction with a partner;
• Fever;
• Inguinal pain, soreness of the head of the penis, pulling back pain;
• Feeling of enduring fatigue, irritability, bad sleep.

Having discovered that he has all these signs, a man should visit a urologist so that he writes out directions for tests. If the diagnosis is confirmed, the doctor will prescribe treatment, the duration of which depends on the causes of prostate inflammation and the degree of neglect of the disease.

Prevention

Doctors recommend not to abuse alcohol and cigarettes, regular cycling, jogging, not hypothermia and try to have regular sex life with a regular partner.

Following these simple recommendations will allow young men who dream of a healthy family and children to avoid trouble and lead a full-fledged, in all respects, lifestyle.
