Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate gland.There are many forms of diseases, but most often acute and chronic forms. The same form is when the disease arose at the moment and actually bothers a person.The chronic form arises if people carry the ailment “on their feet” without addressing the doctor, and after 3-6 months prostatitis goes into the chronic phase.Irreversible changes appear, such as fibrosis, that is, violations, which in the future are practically not amenable to therapy, a diagnosis that will go “through life” with a person.The longer the patient does not go to the doctor, the greater changes occur in the structure of the prostate gland and the more significant the probability of acute inflammation increases.
In medicine, there is such a thing as a “risk group”, that is, a circle of persons of a certain age, professions, social affiliation, which are potentially subject to the occurrence or development of a particular disease.So, it should be noted that the “risk group” includes all men.And there is no age at which they are most susceptible to this disease.Another thing is that with age, the luggage of the transmitted diseases accumulates in the human body.
Causes of prostatitis in men
Prostatitis can develop as a complication after a cold - SARS, influenza, tonsillitis.
The cause of prostatitis may also be conditionally pathogenic flora-staphylococcus, streptococcus, etc.
We can say that the main causes of the occurrence and development of prostatitis are infection, hypothermia, complications after the diseases, as well as congestive phenomena of the pelvic organs that occur as a result of rare sexual relations or complete lack of sex - both in young people and older age groups.The fact is that one of the functions of the prostate gland is the production of the liquid part of the sperm.In the case when there is no ejaculation, the secret stagnates, respectively, the iron swells, compacts, blood flow, trothy, nutrition is disturbed, and then the inflammatory process grows like a snowball.
