Calculus prostatitis in men: what is it
Calculus prostatitis is a complication of chronic inflammation of the prostate gland, which consists of the formation of stones (calculi) in the excretory tract of the prostate gland. The peak of this pathology falls at 30-39 years. This is associated with an increase in cases of chronic prostatitis, which develops against a background of venereal disease.
In men aged 40-59 years, the occurrence of this pathology can be associated with prostate adenoma (growth of prostate gland tissue), and in people over 60 years of age, with the extinction of sexual function. Depending on the cause of the formation, the stone is true (primary) or false (secondary). The primary is formed in the glandular ducts, and the secondary enters the prostate from the upper urinary tract (kidneys, bladder and urethra) if the patient has urolithiasis.
Calculus prostatitis is caused by inflammation of the prostate gland. Violation of the emptying of the prostate gland occurs due to irregularities or lack of sexual intercourse, as well as an inactive lifestyle. Against the background of infection, stones form in a person, because of this, secretions in the prostate stagnate.
In addition, the progression of the disease leads to abnormal reflux of small amounts of urine from the urethra into the prostate gland ducts during urine production. Because of this, the salt in the urine crystallizes, thickens and turns into stones. The calculus of the prostate gland is chemically similar to that of the bladder:
- oxalate (appears due to the formation of salts of oxalic acid);
- phosphate (formed against the background of violations of phosphoric acid synthesis);
- veins (uric acid salts are formed).
The main symptoms and types
The main symptom of calculus prostatitis is pain. It has a dull and painful character, and is located in the perineum, scrotum, above the pubis, in the sacrum and coccyx. The pain syndrome is exacerbated by defecation (fecal excretion), sexual intercourse, physical activity and prolonged sitting on hard surfaces, as well as long walks.
Patients complain of frequent urination or complete urinary retention. Blood impurities (hematuria) or hemospermia (appearance of blood plasma in semen) are found in urea. People suffering from this disease are characterized by:
- decreased libido (sexual activity);
- weak erections;
- violation of ejaculation (release of semen during sexual intercourse);
- painful ejaculation.
In the absence of therapy, patients may experience complications in the form of:
- kidney disease;
- cystitis (inflammation of the urinary tract);
- infertility;
- abscess;
- urinary retention.
Treatment
Calculus prostatitis in men is treated with antibiotics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In addition, vitamins are actively used in therapy to strengthen immunity, anti-inflammatory drugs, prebiotics (after taking a course of antibiotics) and other medications. Sometimes surgery is used to remove stones. This method is indicated when drug therapy does not give positive results for a long time.
Of the physiotherapeutic methods used:
- magnetotherapy (exposure to magnetic fields);
- laser treatment (stone removal);
- electrophoresis (use of current);
- EHF-therapy (low-frequency irradiation).
With calculus prostatitis, prostate sequencing is strictly prohibited. The most effective method is to crush the rock with a laser. In some sessions, stones can be removed naturally. Sometimes doctors prescribe exercise therapy (physiotherapy training) in the form of gymnastics, exercises to reduce and relax the anal muscles.
