Prostatitis is a "scourge" for half of humanity's men.
The age of the disease decreases every year.Just a few decades ago, sexual dysfunction was diagnosed only in adult men.Nowadays, prostatitis is getting younger and younger, so even 20-year-old boys and teenagers cannot avoid this disease.
Difference between prostatitis and prostate adenoma
What is the difference between prostatitis and prostate adenoma?If in the first case we are talking about inflammation, then in the second case we are talking about the process of tumor development.Based on clinical manifestations, chronic prostatitis is difficult to distinguish from adenoma, which is why it is important not to let the disease progress and to seek medical attention as quickly as possible.
Types of prostatitis
Prostatitis is provoked by several factors:
- bacteria – sexually transmitted and sexually transmitted pathogens, E. coli;
- bacteria – muscle tissue deformation due to sedentary and stressful lifestyle and work.
Acute and chronic prostatitis are different forms of the disease in terms of clinical manifestations and consequences.
Symptoms of the disease
One of the criteria to distinguish the disease is the age of the man.Prostate tumors practically do not occur in people under 45 years of age.Prostatitis is diagnosed at ages 15, 25, and 40.
Signs of prostatitis and adenoma
| Symptom | Prostatitis | Prostate tumor |
| painful | in acute form | in stage 2 or 3 |
| urinary disorders | in acute form | continuous |
| sexual dysfunction | At the beginning of the disease, sexual desire increases, over time - erectile dysfunction | Gradual loss of potency until impotence |
| temperature | increase | Normal |
| PSA value, ng/ml | from 0 to 10 | up to 16 |
| ultrasound data | prostatitis | The prostate is enlarged in volume |
Diagnosis and treatment of prostatitis
No need to guess and hope for chance.Prostatitis can be detected quickly and is virtually painless.Men need to donate urine and prostatic secretions for culture, ultrasound or TRUS.
Regardless of the type of prostatitis detected - bacterial or bacterial - antibiotics are prescribed: Amoxicillin, Ceftriaxone, Levofloxacin.This is not a universal set;The drug is selected according to individual indications and is always combined with a set of medications and procedures to reduce inflammatory symptoms and support immunity.
Diagnosis and treatment of prostate tumors
If an adenoma is suspected, in addition to standard tests, CT or MRI may be ordered.If the PSA test is poor, a biopsy will be performed.
To treat prostate tumors, 2 groups of drugs are used: inhibiting tumor growth and facilitating urination.You can try medications that address both of these problems at the same time.The preparations “Climbing palm fruit extract” and “Prostate extract” are not effective as an independent remedy.
prevent
To prevent prostatitis, follow some simple rules:
- cold treatment;
- have an active lifestyle;
- give up bad habits.
Regular sex is a great way to "get rid" of prostatitis and adenoma, but not a reason to forget about safety.
