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

If the inflammatory process in the prostate is caused by congestion, it is called congestive, congestive or non-infectious prostatitis. The incomplete emptying of the blood-filled lobules causes inflammation of the prostate. Most often, congestive prostatitis occurs in men due to irregular sexual life, which is the case in elderly patients. However, there are cases when the disease occurs against the background of chronic prostatitis and a number of other provoking factors.

Causes of congestive prostatitis

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

1. Acute and/or chronic illness of an infectious nature. The infection enters the prostate via the urethra, rectum, or lymphatic vessels;
2. Hormonal imbalance in the patient's body;
3. Increased sexual activity leading to sexual exhaustion;
4. The practice of coitus interruptus;
5. Excitement that does not reach the point of ejaculation;
6. Prolonged sexual intercourse with prolongation and "containment" of ejaculation;
7. Inadequate prostate emptying;
8. A sedentary lifestyle that leads to poor blood 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 supplemented by individual reasons. It is possible to find out the provoking factor of a urological disease only by undergoing a complete examination by a specialist.

Depending on the type, congestive prostatitis is divided as follows:

• Venous.Similar stagnation occurs in men when there are pathological changes in the venous system. For example, varicose veins of the lower extremities: the veins expand, blood accumulates in the pelvic organ systems, which leads to the transition of the phenomenon to the prostate and causes the development of pathology.
• Stand.The 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– a pathology with implicit symptoms that is dangerous due to its complications. Stagnation leads to irreversible consequences of the glandular organ - the detachment of the epithelial layers of the tissue.
• Chronic congestive prostatitis.It seems to be due to irregular sex life, frequent masturbation, lack of exercise and other factors. The main symptom is that semen comes out in the form of blood clots. The volume of the prostate increases, which is dangerous due to the possibility of developing more complex pathologies.
• Contagious.It develops due to infection through the genitourinary system in 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 the pathology. Self-medicating congestive inflammation of the prostate without consulting a doctor is dangerous and only possible in the early stages of the disease.

Symptoms of congestive prostatitis

In the early stages of prostate stagnation, symptoms are subtle and blurred. This makes it difficult to diagnose the problem in a timely manner. However, there are still some signs of pathology:

• Pain in the groin, replaced by burning, pain after long walks, standing;
• radiating pain to the sacrum area, inner thigh;
• decreased libido;
• Feeling of incomplete emptying of the prostate – incomplete orgasm;
• poor erection;
• pain when urinating;
• Nocturnal urination is characterized by a thin or intermittent stream;
• sharp stabbing pain in groin radiating to anal area;
• Deterioration in general health: weakness, fatigue, absentmindedness.

The development of pathology from an acute to a chronic form leads to an increase in pain syndromes - the complaints become stable. Pain attacks occur more often and are localized in the groin. However, acute relapses are replaced by remission and the patient believes that he has gotten rid of the disease, and congestive prostatitis has already become chronic, dangerous due to inflammation of the excretory ducts and detachment of epithelial tissue.

Important!The most dangerous symptom is stopping urination. If a similar phenomenon occurs in the patient, you should immediately consult a doctor, regardless of whether the syndrome is aggravated by pain symptoms or other signs of prostate stagnation.

Diagnosis of congestive prostatitis

The non-specificity of the disease makes diagnosis difficult. In order not to be confused with the conclusions, the urologist conducts a number of examinations:

1. Palpation and rectal examination to assess the condition of the prostate and rectal hemorrhoids;
2. blood and urine tests;
3. Analysis of prostatic secretory fluid to determine resistance to groups of drugs;
4. Ultrasonic;
5. In special cases, CT scans and examinations of the genitourinary system are prescribed - this allows us to clarify the cause of the pathology.

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

Treatment of congestive prostatitis

To select an effective treatment option for prostate congestion, an examination is carried out and individual therapy is prescribed. Today, medicine offers many options for curing the disease: medications, physiotherapy, operations, as well as folk methods of eliminating the problem help all patients without exception, but only the treating specialist can tell you how to treat congestive prostatitis.

Medication

Drug therapy is prescribed with antibacterial agents, alpha blockers, muscle relaxants, hormones and phytotherapeutics. Antibacterial drugs are indicated for the treatment of congestive prostatitis caused by infections, but the drug should be taken together with a group of drugs to maintain immunity. The choice of drug is influenced by the bacterium that causes the pathology.

Alpha-blockers are drugs that open the sphincters, thereby stopping the action of impulses that affect smooth muscle tone. Taking medications improves the patient's condition, increases urine output, reduces sensitivity to spasms and pressure on the bladder walls.

Herbal medicine involves a specially selected herbal complex that is used exclusively as a supplement to other treatment methods. Herbal remedies relieve inflammation and swelling well, have an antibacterial effect and help dissolve congestion in the prostate.

Treatment with hormonal drugs is aimed at normalizing the balance of estrogens and androgens. Therapy relieves inflammation and prevents further development of pathology.

Muscle relaxants are a special group of drugs that act on the striated muscles located in the perineum. A reduction in muscle tone leads to a reduction in pain, thereby relieving tension in the pelvic floor and eliminating the feeling of fullness and pressure.

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

Physiotherapy and its role in effective treatment

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

1. Normalization of blood circulation in the pelvic organs;
2. Get rid of negative symptoms;
3. Restoration of normal prostate function;
4. Increased male sexual potency;
5. Avoiding traffic jams.

Physiotherapeutic methods include:

• Prostate massage.One of the most effective methods of treating congestive prostatitis. By improving blood circulation, massage completely eliminates congestion, improves muscle tone and diaphragm, enhances the effects of medications and normalizes the functioning of the prostate ducts. Contraindications: incomplete bladder emptying, organ cancer, cysts, stone formation in the prostate.
• Exercises to strengthen and relax the pelvic floor musclesis a "home" treatment option that shows ideal results. A special set of exercises is easy to perform, for example: tensing and relaxing the anus muscle, but at the same time it is so effective that you can completely get rid of congestive prostatitis and never againExperiencing danger of pathology.
• Neuromodular (neuromodulator) therapyis a treatment using electric current to eliminate pain syndromes. It is carried out in different ways. The most popular of these is stimulation of the nerve endings of the spinal cord. Percutaneous exposure gives a good result, but the treatment has contraindications and is prescribed individually.
• Acupuncture massage or acupuncture- a good and effective method in which special needles are inserted into precisely defined areas of the body. Target: activation of recovery processes and normalization of blood flow, acceleration of recovery. But there is a great risk of falling into the hands of a bad specialist and making the problem worse instead of treating it.

The method of treating prostate blockage with a laser has proven to be very effective. The effect on the nerve endings of cells ensures rapid elimination of the main problem and accompanying negative symptoms.

Important!Physiotherapy, like other treatment methods, is prescribed by a specialist. It is dangerous to seek help without a confirmed diagnosis.

Surgical methods

Treatment of stagnation with surgery is the last resort resorted to when other methods of eliminating the pathology do not have any effect. Indications for surgery are:

• narrowing of the urinary canal;
• prostate abscesses;
• prostate sclerosis;
• BPH;
• Violation of the outflow of secretions through the seminal vesicles.

There are different 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 as a complement to traditional methods of eliminating the disease. The good thing about home treatment is that it increases the effectiveness of taking medications, relieves pain and normalizes blood circulation.
