Congestive prostatitis: treatment, diagnosis and prevention

Prostatitis is an inflammatory disease of the prostate gland. In the event of inflammation, which is most often caused by an infection, the function of the entire urinary system is disrupted. Acute prostatitis, as well as chronic inflammation of the gland, requires comprehensive treatment under the supervision of a certified specialist. According to statistics, the disease is diagnosed in 55% of men over 50 and 30% over 35.

Chronic bacterial, acute (rare) and chronic non-bacterial prostatitis are the main types of the disease. A separate place in the classification of the disease is occupied by congestive prostatitis. The cause of the inflammatory process in the prostate gland is most often an infection that comes from the urinary system or from distant organs. Stagnation of blood and sperm in the gland is crucial in the development of prostatitis.

Factors contributing to the onset of the disease:

  • hypothermia and an “office” lifestyle;
  • constant stress and low immunity;
  • chronic constipation;
  • chronic diseases;
  • urological and venereal diseases in the past;
  • hormonal imbalance and prolonged abstinence from sexual relations;
  • genital infections.

In each case, the doctor individually determines the causes and factors and decides how to treat prostatitis.

Chronic prostatitis

The disease is divided into chronic bacterial and chronic abacterial prostatitis.

Symptoms of inflammation are quite diverse, but the most common are discomfort with localization in the pelvis, pulling pain, urinary disturbances and erectile dysfunction. In some cases, chronic prostatitis, which should be treated by a specialized doctor, can be asymptomatic for a man.

Pain syndrome. In the chronic form of the disease, the intensity of pain can be different: from pulling to severe, occurring most often at night.

Disorders of urination. Dysuric disorders are characteristic of the initial period of prostatitis, however, everything is always purely individual.

Erectile syndrome. In this case, we are talking about nighttime uncontrolled erections, problems with ejaculation, “erased” orgasm and unpleasant sensations during intercourse. Over time, these disorders increase, especially in case of congestive prostatitis, the treatment of which has some nuances.

Acute prostatitis

The disease has three stages (catarrhal, follicular, and abscessing) and usually begins with pronounced symptoms. Heaviness in the pelvic area, urinary disturbances, frequent urge to defecate, fever, chills, and weakness are common complaints characteristic of prostate inflammation. Failure to see a doctor and self-medication can lead to chronic prostatitis.

The acute form of the disease in some cases requires inpatient treatment. Our doctors at https://dobrobut.com/ will help in resolving this issue. Diagnosis, treatment and support by highly qualified specialists are offered at affordable prices.

Diagnosis and how to treat prostatitis

The diagnosis is made after a comprehensive examination of the patient and in the presence of laboratory tests. In case of bacterial prostatitis, it is necessary to have a complete blood count and urine test, as well as a bacterial culture of urine and prostate secretion. In addition, the doctor will need to examine the gland itself. In case of non-bacterial prostatitis, an ultrasound examination may be prescribed. The treatment regimen is individual in each case.
