Purulent prostatitis is a dangerous enemy of men

One of the most common diseases in men is prostatitis or inflammation of the prostate gland. Purulent and chronic prostatitis in men nowadays occurs not only much more often than in previous years, but also covers a significantly younger audience. After thirty years, about a third of men suffer from this ailment. The most dangerous of prostatitis is not by chance that Purulent prostatitis is considered, since the presence of an abscess in the gland threatens the entire body with infection and unwanted complications.

Symptoms

Most often, the manifestation of the disease is a surprise for a man. It usually starts with chills and a rise in body temperature, then the man pays attention to pain in the lower back and frequent urge to urinate. The process of urination brings its own "surprises": cramps and pains.

Forms of purulent prostatitis

• Catarrhal.
• Follicular.
• Parenchymal.
• Abscessive.

Catarrhal - of all existing forms, it is considered the easiest. It is caused by the penetration of infection, but due to blurred symptoms it is very difficult to determine. During the study, only a slight increase in the prostate gland is noticeable, and the patient feels mild pain in the perineum. At this stage, rarely does anyone seek help from a doctor, brushing off a slight malaise and hoping that everything will go away by itself. This mistake is costly, as the disease progresses to the next, more severe phase.

Follicular - the symptoms of catarrhal prostatitis intensify. A man who is attentive to health is unlikely to miss them. There is one way how you can independently verify the presence of a purulent process in the prostate. To do this, it is enough to urinate in a jar, and whitish stains will be visible in the urine, which indicates the course of suppuration in the gland.

Parenchymal - a serious stage when abscesses have settled in the gland. The general condition, temperature and weakness deteriorate, appetite disappears, pain becomes pronounced. Often, purulent discharge is visible with the naked eye. This condition does not imply a delay in time, an appeal to a urologist is mandatory.

Abscessing is a severe form of inflammation of the prostate. Multiple abscesses fill the entire gland. The disease is accompanied by a high body temperature, severe pain in the small pelvis, back, perineum, pus always comes out when urinating. At this stage, procrastination is like death!

Causes of the disease

Hypothermia, infection, and weakened immunity can become the causes of the disease. purulent prostatitis mainly occurs due to the penetration of infection. Most often, the infection enters the prostate through the excretory ducts and this method is called canalicular.

In second place is the hematogenous way of penetration of infection, when infection occurs as a complication after suffering pneumonia, flu or tonsillitis. Another way of penetration of the infection is lymphogenous. In this case, infection occurs due to advanced inflammation of the rectum.

Complications

In time, undiagnosed or untreated purulent prostatitis gives disappointing forecasts. A man may become infertile, may face erectile dysfunction, it is possible that prostatitis will become chronic, an adenoma will appear, cystitis will appear, which will constantly remind of itself. Also, complications can affect disturbances in the work of other internal organs, especially the kidneys. Prostate abscess and sepsis can turn into a big trouble.

Diagnostics

At the first visit to the urologist, the patient will undergo a comprehensive examination. The man will be manually examined through the rectum. The procedure is unpleasant, but effective. Then the patient is given directions for the delivery of urine and blood tests. Based on the results of the tests, the urologist determines how strong the inflammation occurs in the prostate gland.

To rule out any doubts, the doctor may prescribe an ultrasound of the prostate. There are other, more accurate research methods for making a diagnosis: computed and magnetic-nuclear tomography, urography, cystoscopy, as well as a study of prostate enzymes. A journal of the patient's urination is almost always ordered.

Treatment

At whatever stage of the disease a man turns to a urologist, first he will be prescribed medication. It involves the use of antispasmodic, antibacterial and pain relievers. The primary task of physicians is to defeat the penetrated infection. Until it is neutralized, there can be no question of removing the inflammation of the gland. Antibiotics are prescribed both orally, intramuscularly, and intravenously.

It all depends on the severity of the disease.It happens that it is enough to conduct a course of rectal suppositories and microclysters, but such treatment is possible only with catarrhal or follicular prostatitis in the presence of small abscesses in the prostate. Antibiotics will help them dissolve. In the presence of a large abscess, even if there is only one, such treatment will not have the desired effect.

The most severe form - an abscess - is treated only by surgery. Access to the abscesses is carried out either through the perineum or through the rectum, depending on the location of the focus. The operation is performed under the control of ultrasound or CT (computed tomography).

Physiotherapy

Along with drug treatment, physiotherapy procedures are also successful. They are prescribed immediately after the removal of the acute period during the course of the disease, for the same patients who have an abscess, thermal procedures, such as baths or warm microclysters, are strictly prohibited. In addition to water procedures, electrostimulation, magneto and laser therapy are used.

Traditional methods of treatment

Purulent prostatitis is treated with the help of traditional medicine - this is a great help, only they can not replace drug treatment. Traditional methods always provide for a long and systematic treatment process, and they are good when used in combination with traditional methods.

Champions in the content of zinc, the most important trace element for the prostate - pumpkin seeds. They can be consumed as raw, 30-40 grains every day, or you can prepare a delicious medicine from ground (peeled) seeds with the addition of honey. The honey-pumpkin mass is divided into identical heaps and balls are formed from them, which are perfectly stored in the refrigerator. Finished balls can be folded on a small cutting board, on parchment, or can be placed in any container, but stacked in one row to avoid sticking to each other.

A couple of balls a day will give a man the daily requirement of zinc, which the prostate gland needs

Black elderberry juice is also a very useful remedy. The only thing is that it can be drunk (just one big spoon!) Only for those men who have no problems with the gastrointestinal tract. And even healthy - only after drinking a glass of water.

Parsley seeds and juice are considered potent remedies. An infusion is prepared from the seeds, and juice is squeezed out of the leaves. You can, of course, not bother with cooking and eat a whole bunch of parsley daily, but this is hardly the best way to use it.

Aspen bark works as a natural antibiotic. It is insisted on alcohol or vodka (1: 2) for 15 days. Take 30 drops with water. A couple of times a day.

Prevention

Purulent prostatitis is a very dangerous and insidious disease, in order to avoid it, it is best for a man to think about the consequences in advance and begin to temper the body. Reasonable exercise, good balanced nutrition, comfortable clothing at any time of the year, personal hygiene, exclusion of casual sex, no bad habits, an active lifestyle - all this will help to strengthen the immune system.

If the infection still finds a loophole and affects the prostate, then the treatment will take place at the lowest cost, both psychological and financial, and a positive result will come much earlier than with a depleted body. Another important nuance: in order to prevent it, it is necessary to visit a urologist and take tests at least once a year.
