Chronic prostatitis, classification
Inflammation can be caused by bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms, it can also be caused by hypothermia, bad habits, poor nutrition and a sedentary lifestyle.
Chronic prostatitis in men manifests itself in different forms:
- Contagious- develops as a result of harmful action of microorganisms
- Non-infectious or stagnant- caused by congestion in the pelvis (stagnation of ejaculate, prostate secretion or venous blood)
In advanced cases, when there is no treatment, the usual form of the disease can develop into chronic calculous prostatitis. With this pathology, against the background of inflammation, stones are formed in the gland itself and its channels.
Asymptomatic prostatitis is characterized by the absence of symptoms and complaints of the patient and is discovered only during the examination.
The most common is the abacterial or stagnant type, diagnosed in 95% of patients.
Causes of chronic prostatitis
Basic factors that contribute to the development of the disease:
- lack of physical activity is a direct path to impaired blood flow to the pelvic organs as a result of congestion;
- unhealthy diet, fatty food, alcohol, smoking;
- frequent abstinence during sexual intercourse (for example, to avoid an unwanted pregnancy of the partner) or its termination;
- infection in the genitourinary system due to poor personal hygiene or infection through a partner;
- frequent hypothermia of the body;
- weakened immunity, constipation, inflammatory phenomena in the body, including diseases of the upper respiratory tract;
- endocrine diseases, hormonal imbalance;
- surgical operations on pelvic organs.
Despite the different causes of chronic prostatitis, the symptoms manifest in the same way. Most often it is pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen.
Symptoms of chronic prostatitis
Signs of the disease may subside or intensify from time to time, which indicates an inflammatory process. You should not expect that everything will pass by itself or self-medicate, the consequences will be sad - impotence, infertility, oncology.
A modern clinic or men's health center specializing in the treatment of chronic prostatitis has helped hundreds of patients regain sexual viability. It is important not to waste time and seek help if you are concerned about the following symptoms:

- erectile dysfunction;
- premature ejaculation, dull sensitivity during and after sexual intercourse;
- frequent (more than twice) urination, especially at night;
- constant feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder, "slow stream".
Depending on the stage of the disease and the individual characteristics of the organism, the symptoms vary, but the pain constantly increases and intensifies. In addition to exacerbation, painful sensations during ejaculation, weakening of erection and infertility are added.
Modern urology distinguishes four categories of chronic prostatitis:
- acute bacterial - type I;
- chronic bacterial - type II;
- abacterial chronic - III type, (with inflammation - IIIa, without inflammation - IIIb);
- asymptomatic - IV type.
Methods for diagnosing chronic prostatitis
If characteristic symptoms are present, the urologist can easily make a diagnosis and additionally conduct a standard examination and examination.
Laboratory diagnostics helps to determine the presence of inflammation, the type of causative agent of the disease, and usually consists of taking and examining blood, urine and prostate secretion tests.
It is also necessary to rule out the presence of prostate adenoma, oncology, tuberculosis, as these are diseases with similar symptoms.
Instrumental examination - ultrasound or TRUS - allows you to determine what changes have occurred in the prostate, determine its size, density, presence of stones and neoplasms.
Only after establishing the correct diagnosis, the doctor decides how to treat chronic prostatitis in this particular case.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis
Depending on the characteristics of each patient's body and the causes of the disease, the treatment regimen for chronic prostatitis is created individually.
Drug treatment includes a comprehensive intake of painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs, and in the case of an infectious process, antibiotics. The most effective drugs for normalizing the flow and cleaning the prostate. In addition, it is necessary to take vitamins and immunomodulators to nourish damaged tissues, and in case of circulation problems, venotonics, anticoagulants, blood thinners are additionally prescribed.
In a modern clinic, effective treatment of chronic prostatitis includes a unique method - lymphotropic therapy. It is the introduction of drugs subcutaneously in the areas located near the lymphatic vessels. At the same time, the absorption of the drug is significantly improved and the effect of the drug is enhanced, because it quickly spreads through the lymphatic system, and from there it reaches the desired organ or tissue.
You can improve the outflow of fluid from the prostate and normalize blood circulation in the pelvic organs by signing up for a massage for chronic prostatitis. The procedure is performed by an experienced urologist in the absence of contraindications. For men who are categorically against this method of treatment, it will be useful to perform the following exercises, which also have a positive effect on removing congestion in the pelvic area.

Why is chronic prostatitis dangerous? Ignoring the disease, shame and fear of seeking help from a doctor can lead to serious complications. The inflammatory process will eventually spread to the urinary system, and as a result, new diseases (cystitis, urethritis, kidney failure, vesiculitis).

How long the course will last depends on your desire for recovery and timely contact with a specialist. The prognosis is favorable in most cases.
