The insidiousness of prostatitis and its consequences

What is the danger of prostatitis for men. According to statistics, prostatitis in men is in third place among urological diseases. Inflammation of the prostate gland is an unpleasant disease for men of all ages. In recent years, it has become younger. Twenty years ago, the disease was the lot of older men, but now, more and more young middle-aged men are faced with this problem.

At a young age, without being cured of prostatitis, a man is in danger of becoming infertile, that is, losing the ability to perform reproductive function, or, simply put, become a father. In adulthood and old age, long and painful treatment for advanced inflammation affects all areas of life. The main cause of the disease is an infection that has settled in the body of a man. If it is not cured in time, unpleasant changes begin, first of all, it concerns the bladder and urinary tract.

Symptoms such as frequent urge to urinate, burning, heaviness in the groin and others. All this will lead to Chronic prostatitis. Difficulties in treating the disease are associated with many factors - this is a bad environment, and an unhealthy lifestyle (promiscuous sex, irregular sex life, lack of sports, sedentary work, smoking and alcohol abuse, unbalanced diet, nervous and physical overload). The consequences of such an irrational life are prostatitis.

Prostatitis is divided into acute and chronic

Acute prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate gland) is caused by an infection. Its symptoms are fever and chills, frequent urination, especially at night, pain in the groin and lower back, pain in the joints. On a digital examination, when pressing on the prostate gland, its swelling is observed.

The consequences of Acute prostatitis are cystitis (inflammation of the bladder), pyelonephritis (inflammation of the renal pelvis), sepsis (blood poisoning), chronic prostatitis, infertility.

Chronic prostatitis

A man begins to feel discomfort, heaviness, aching pains in the lower abdomen, sometimes the pains are sharp, especially after intercourse. Libido gradually decreases, erection suffers. Trouble with urination begins. The urologist, having heard such complaints, gives a referral for tests - urine, secretions, ultrasound.

Why is chronic prostatitis dangerous? Decreased quality of life due to numerous complications, sometimes very life-threatening.

The consequences of chronic prostatitis. Problems with urination, impaired potency, infertility, urolithiasis, renal failure, prostate sclerosis, adenoma (BPH), Prostate cancer. The listed complications reflect the physical condition of the body, but there is also a psychological component.

Men burdened with a similar ailment suffer from depression, irritability, anger, often the disease is the cause of the destruction of the family. Chronic prostatitis, and especially the consequences of prostatitis, lead to the most severe forms of the disease, getting rid of which is associated with great difficulties, painful procedures and tangible financial costs.

Frequent urination during the day and at night

Constant urges during the daytime hours cause inconvenience, since wherever the man is, he has to look for a toilet, but at night, when the body must recuperate, the man is again preoccupied. This time he has to get up and go to urinate five or more times. During urination, he most often experiences discomfort, since urination passes in small portions, with a delay, and it happens that the urge does not end with anything at all.

Acute urinary retention - a complication that appears as a result of a long course of chronic inflammation of the prostate, is dangerous to health. The patient cannot urinate when the bladder is full. It is not associated with impaired renal function. A man's temperature may rise. Mandatory visit to a doctor! In this case, urine is removed using a catheter.

One of the most common consequences of chronic prostatitis in violation of potency, up to impotence. Premature ejaculation occurs. Unpleasant sensations, pain - all this a man can experience during intercourse. After treatment, there are cases when the potency is not fully restored.

This is usually due to a psychological factor. The restoration of potency in full depends on the patient's proper nutrition. Therefore, the diet should be reviewed and formulated taking into account the foods necessary for the synthesis of testosterone.

Infertility occurs as a result of the production of a small amount of secretion, which adversely affects the sperm cells, their activity and survival. Sclerosis of the prostate - as a result of chronic inflammation, the prostate shrinks and ceases to function.First of all, urination is disturbed due to a compressed urethra. Gradually, due to sclerosis of the prostate, renal failure develops. This disease, like a snowball, involves more and more complications. Starting with urinary retention and ending with severe kidney disease.

Adenoma is also the result of untreated prostatitis. The tumor appears due to the proliferation of glandular tissue, pressing on the ureter and narrowing it. As a result, the process of urination is disrupted. Usually, the first symptom is more frequent urination, and at the next stage, the changes in urination are more severe.

It happens with difficulty, intermittent, the man has to push. Changes occur with the bladder. The disease develops further. Residual urine appears, which is already dangerous for the kidneys. At the initial stage, the tumor is amenable to drug treatment, at later stages - only surgical intervention, since a growing benign tumor can degenerate into a malignant one. Only the tumor is removed.

What is the most dangerous prostatitis, which turned into chronic

Prostate cancer (malignant tumor) is an insidious disease. Cancer of 1 and 2 degrees can be asymptomatic when the tumor is inside the capsule, with 3 degrees of cancer the tumor overcomes the borders of the capsule and spreads to the lymph nodes, with 4 degrees - to the bones.

Prostate cancer can be cured only in the first two stages. At 3 and 4, when he metastasized, all medicine can do is prolong the patient's life for a while.

Self-medication of prostatitis for men can turn into big troubles. Ignoring the visit to the urologist, the sick person dooms himself to numerous complications. Antibiotics, with which a man will try to eliminate the symptoms of the onset of the disease, but not the cause of it, are likely to harm, since only a professional is able to choose the right combination of drugs.

We must remember that antibiotics are specific to these drugs, they can both help the body in the fight against infection, and cause damage by lowering immunity. In this case, the consequences of prostatitis in men will turn out to be an even more difficult test, since it will take extra time to overcome the harm caused by thoughtless treatment, and the disease does not wait and progresses.

Having studied all of the above, having understood how chronic prostatitis and its consequences are dangerous for a man, you need to make the only right decision - to take care of your health from a young age. Active physical training in adolescence should not abruptly end with the onset of a new stage in life.

A lot of guys who go to sports clubs stop going there after they get married. It is clear that everyday problems, the appearance of children, a mass of problems in the social sphere - all this distracts and leads to another life, to an adult. And only when faced with the disease from their own experience, men understand what prostatitis is and how it is dangerous for their health, how many dangers prostatitis and its consequences conceal in themselves!
