Congestive prostatitis in men: symptoms, causes, diagnosis and treatment

If the inflammatory process in the prostate gland is caused by congestion, the disease is called congestive, congestive or non-infectious prostatitis. Prostate inflammation develops as a result of incomplete emptying of blood-filled lobules. Often, congestive prostatitis in men occurs due to an irregular sex life, which occurs with older patients. However, there are cases of the disease occurring against the background of chronic prostatitis and some other provoking factors.

Causes of congestive prostatitis

The main and main cause of pathology is the disruption of normal blood circulation in the pelvic organs. But prostate stagnation occurs due to factors such as:

1. Acute and/or chronic infectious diseases. Infection enters the prostate through the urethra, rectum or lymphatic channels;
2. Hormonal imbalance in the patient's body;
3. Increased sexual activity leading to sexual fatigue;
4. The practice of intercourse interruptus;
5. Passion that does not reach ejaculation;
6. Prolonged sexual intercourse with prolongation and "containment" of ejaculation;
7. Insufficient emptying of the prostate;
8. A sedentary lifestyle that leads to poor circulation in the pelvic organs;
9. Varicose veins of the pelvic organs;
10. Injury or damage to the pelvic organs.

Factors can be combined and added by individual reasons. It is possible to find out the factors that provoke urological diseases only by undergoing a full examination by a specialist.

By type, congestive prostatitis is divided as follows:

• vein.The same stagnation in men occurs if there are pathological changes in the venous system. For example, varicose veins on the lower leg: the veins enlarge, blood accumulates in the pelvic organ system, which leads to the transition of the phenomenon to the prostate and causes the development of pathology.
• crowded.This form of the disease is characterized by incomplete emptying of the gland, which leads to an increase in the inflammatory process - more common in mature men.
• Cognitive prostatitis– pathology with implicit symptoms, dangerous because of its complications. Stagnation leads to irreversible consequences of glandular organs - detachment of the epithelial layer of the tissue.
• Chronic congestive prostatitis.It appears due to irregular sex life, frequent masturbation, inactive lifestyle and other factors. The main symptom is seminal fluid coming out in the form of clots. The prostate gland increases in volume, which is dangerous because of the possibility of developing more complex pathologies.
• Contagious.It develops as a result of infection through the genitourinary system during the course of congestive pathology, which increases the inflammatory process and worsens the general condition of the patient.

Important!Only a specialist can identify the type and form of pathology. Self-medication for congestive inflammation of the prostate gland without consulting a doctor is dangerous and possible only in the early stages of the disease.

Symptoms of congestive prostatitis

In the first stage of prostate stagnation, the symptoms are subtle and vague. This is what complicates the timely diagnosis of the problem. But there are still some pathological signs:

• painful sensation in the groin, replaced by burning, pain after a long walk, standing;
• radiating pain to the sacrum, inner thighs;
• decreased libido;
• feelings of incomplete prostate emptying - incomplete orgasm;
• weak erection;
• pain during urination;
• the nocturnal act of passing urine is characterized by a thin or intermittent stream;
• sharp stabbing pain in the groin, radiating to the anus;
• deterioration in general health: weakness, fatigue, loss of consciousness.

Pathological progression from acute to chronic form leads to an increase in pain syndrome - discomfort becomes stable. Pain attacks become more frequent and are localized in the groin. However, acute relapses are replaced by remission and the patient believes that he has got rid of the disease, and congestive prostatitis has turned into chronic, dangerous by inflammation of the excretory tract and detachment of epithelial tissue.

Important!The most dangerous symptom is to stop urinating. If the patient has the same phenomenon, you should immediately see a doctor, regardless of whether the syndrome is aggravated by pain symptoms or other signs of prostate stagnation..

Diagnosis of congestive prostatitis

The nonspecificity of the disease makes diagnosis difficult. In order not to be mistaken with conclusions, urologists conduct several examinations:

1. Rectal palpation and examination to assess the state of the prostate gland and rectal hemorrhoids;
2. Blood and urine tests;
3. Analysis of prostate secretion fluid to determine resistance to drug groups;
4. Ultrasound;
5. In special cases, a CT scan and an examination of the genitourinary system are prescribed - this allows us to clarify the cause of the pathology.

Only after the diagnosis is made, treatment for congestive prostatitis is prescribed. It should be remembered that this disease can be successfully eliminated at any stage, but the preservation of full sexual abilities is possible with early treatment.

Treatment of congestive prostatitis

To choose an effective treatment option for congestion in the prostate gland, an examination is carried out and an individual course of therapy is prescribed. Today, medicine has many possibilities to cure the disease: medicine, physiotherapy, surgery, as well as folk methods to eliminate the problem help all patients without exception, but only the attending specialist can tell you how to treat congestive prostatitis.

Medicines

Drug therapy is prescribed using antibacterial agents, alpha blockers, muscle relaxants, hormonal agents and phytotherapeutics. Antibacterial drugs are indicated for the treatment of congestive prostatitis caused by infection, but the drug should be taken together with a group of drugs to maintain immunity. The choice of medicine is influenced by the bacteria causing the pathology.

Alpha blockers are drugs that open the sphincter, which stops the impulses that affect the tone of the smooth muscle. Taking medicine improves the patient's condition, increases the rate of urination, reduces the sensitivity of spasms and pressure on the bladder wall.

Herbal medicine is a complex of specially selected herbs used only as an addition to other treatment methods. Herbal medicine relieves inflammation and swelling well, has an antibacterial effect, and helps disperse congestion in the prostate.

Treatment with hormonal drugs is used to normalize the balance of estrogen and androgen. Therapy relieves inflammation and prevents the further development of pathology.

Muscle relaxants are a special group of drugs that act on the striated muscles located in the perineum. A decrease in muscle tone leads to a decrease in pain, which relieves the tension in the pelvic diaphragm and relieves the feeling of fullness and pressure.

Important!Drug therapy is prescribed only by a specialist. Self-medication is prohibited. Herbal medicine is also contraindicated in patients without an established diagnosis. In the early stages of congestive prostatitis, choosing the wrong complex will be ineffective, in the later stages it will lead to a deterioration in the patient's condition.

Physiotherapy and its role in effective treatment

A large number of methods of physiotherapeutic influence on the patient's body allows you to choose the most effective treatment, often without the use of heavy drugs. The role of physiotherapy in eliminating diseases is great:

1. Normalization of blood circulation in the pelvic organs;
2. Eliminate negative symptoms;
3. Restores the normal function of the prostate gland;
4. Increase male sexual potential;
5. Congestion prevention.

Physiotherapy methods include:

• Prostate massage.One of the effective ways to treat congestive prostatitis. By improving blood circulation, massage completely removes congestion, improves muscle and diaphragm tone, improves the effect of drugs and normalizes the function of the prostate duct. Contraindications: incomplete bladder emptying, organ cancer, cysts, stone formation in the prostate.
• Exercises aimed at strengthening and relaxing the pelvic floor musclesis a "home" treatment option that shows ideal results. A set of special exercises is easy to do, for example: squeezing and opening the muscles of the anus, but at the same time it is so effective that it allows you to completely get rid of congestive prostatitis and never again suffer from the threat of pathology.
• Neuromodular therapy (neuromodulator).is a treatment with electric current that aims to eliminate the pain syndrome. It is carried out in several ways, the most popular of which is the stimulation of the nerve endings of the spinal cord. Percutaneous exposure gives good results, however, treatment has contraindications and is prescribed individually.
• Acupuncture or acupuncture massage- a good and effective method that involves the introduction of a special needle into a strictly defined part of the body. Goal: activation of the recovery process and normalization of blood flow, acceleration of recovery. But there is a great danger of falling into the hands of a bad specialist and, instead of treating, worsening the problem.

The method of treating congestion of the prostate gland with a laser has proven itself well. The effect on the nerve endings of the cells ensures the rapid elimination of the main problem and the accompanying negative symptoms.

Important!Physiotherapy, like other treatment methods, is prescribed by a specialist. Seeking help without an established diagnosis is dangerous.

Surgical method

Treatment of stagnation with surgery is the last resort, which is done if there is no effect of other methods to eliminate the pathology. Indications for intervention are:

• narrowing of the urinary tract;
• prostate abscess;
• sclerosis of the prostate;
• BPH;
• violation of the outflow of secretions through the seminal vesicles.

There are several surgical techniques, the choice depends on the clinical picture of the pathology and the individual characteristics of the patient.

ethnoscience

Alternative healing options are welcomed by urologists, but only in addition to traditional methods to eliminate the disease. The good thing about home treatment is that it improves the effectiveness of medication, reduces pain and normalizes blood flow.
