Prostatitis is the "scourge" of the male half of humanity.
The age of the disease decreases annually. A few decades ago, urogenital dysfunction was diagnosed only in mature men. Now prostatitis has become younger, so even 20-year-old boys and teenagers are not free of it.
The 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 - about the process of tumor development. In terms of clinical manifestations, chronic prostatitis is very difficult to distinguish from an adenoma, which is why it is so important not to start the disease, but toget tested as soon as possible.
Types of prostatitis
Several factors cause prostatitis:
- bacterial - sexually transmitted and sexually transmitted infections, Escherichia coli;
- abacterial - deformation of muscle tissue due to sedentary lifestyle and work, stress.
Acute and chronic prostatitis are forms of the disease that differ in the clinical picture and their consequences.
Symptoms of the disease
One of the criteria by which the disease is differentiated is the age of the man. Prostate adenoma practically does not occur in people under 45 years of age. Prostatitis is diagnosed in people aged 15, 25 and 40 years.
Signs of prostatitis and adenoma
| Symptoms | Prostatitis | ΒΡΗ |
| pain | in acute form | in 2 or 3 stages |
| urinary disorder | in acute form | constantly |
| sexual dysfunction | at the onset of the disease, sexual desire increases, over time - erectile dysfunction | gradual weakening of power to the point of incapacity |
| temperature | goes up | fine |
| PSA indices, ng / ml | from 0 to 10 | to 16 |
| ultrasound data | inflammation of the prostate | the prostate gland enlarges |
Diagnosis and treatment of prostatitis
I do not need to guess and hope by chance. Prostatitis can be detected quickly and almost painlessly. A man must pass urine and prostates for bacterial culture, undergo ultrasound or TRUS.
Regardless of the type of prostatitis being detected - bacterial or bacterial - antibiotics are prescribed: Amoxicillin, Ceftriaxone, Levofloxacin. This is not a universal set, the preparations are selected according to individual indications and always in combination with a set of drugs and procedures to relieve the symptoms of inflammation and immune support.
diagnosis and treatment of prostate adenoma
If adenoma is suspected, in addition to standard studies, CT or MRI may be prescribed. If the PSA test is poor, a biopsy will be done.
For the treatment of prostate adenoma, 2 groups of drugs are used: to suppress tumor growth and to facilitate urination. You can try medicines that solve these two problems at the same time. Preparations of "Palma fruit extract", "Prostate extract", as an independent drug, are ineffective.
Prevention
To prevent prostatitis, follow a few simple rules:
- Treat colds
- follow an active lifestyle.
- give up bad habits.
Regular sex is a great way to get rid of prostatitis and adenoma, but not to forget about safety.
