Prostatitis: types, symptoms and causes of the disease

Types of prostatitis  According to the causes and clinical image of the disease's price, the following types of prostatitis are distinguished:Acute prostatitis- The serious inflammation of the prostate gland, which occurs following the bacterial infection of its tissues. Many bacteria are part of the normal microflora of the body and are constantly present in the intestines and the skin. However, when the prostate gland enters the fabric, generally due to the non-compliance with the rules of elementary hygiene and other causes, they can cause the development of an acute inflammatory process. Acute prostatitis is extremely rare. The treatment should be carried out in a hospital. Chronic bacterial prostatitis- is a third of all cases of inflammation of the prostate gland. This form of prostatitis is dangerous in what painful signs can be spontaneously missing even without treatment. But that does not mean healing - after a certain time, an exacerbation occurs, which takes place each time more painfully. If you do nothing yet and yet there is a risk of developing purulent foci, a stones deposit in the prostate, inflammation of the bladder and other serious complications, to cancer.Chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome. A form difficult to diagnose prostatitis manifests itself by constant pain in the pelvic area, which lasts more than three months. Along the way, neurological disorders and psycho emotional disorders can be observed. The diagnosis is made by exclusion, analyzes may not show signs of inflammation.Asymptomatic chronic prostatitis. It takes place asymptomatic and can be revealed according to the results of urine analysis, which show the high concentration of leukocytes and bacteria. Chronic granulomatous prostatitis. Usually, it is a side effect of the drug treatment of other diseases or irradiation of the prostate gland. During this disease, the fabric of the prostate gland is gradually replaced by connective tissue and iron ceases to work.

If the patient does not receive adequate treatment over time, he can develop infertility with a probability of 40%, because prostate iron will no longer be able to develop a secret in normal quantities and the necessary quality. The self-medication of prostatitis is unacceptable because it can cause deterioration of the patient's condition and the occurrence of concomitant diseases.
