Chronic prostatitis, classification
Inflammation can be caused by bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms, it can also be caused by hypothermia, bad habits, improper nutrition and a sedentary lifestyle.
Chronic prostatitis in men manifests itself in different forms:
- Infectious- developing as a result of the harmful effects of microorganisms
- Non-infectious or stagnant- caused by congestion in the pelvis (stasis of ejaculate, prostatic secretion or venous blood)
In advanced cases, when there is no treatment, the usual form of the disease can develop into chronic calculous prostatitis. With this pathology, against the background of inflammation, stones are formed in the gland itself and its ducts.
Asymptomatic prostatitis is characterized by the absence of symptoms and complaints from the patient and is detected only during an examination.
The most common is the abacterial or stagnant type, it is diagnosed in 95% of patients.
Causes of chronic prostatitis

- lack of physical activity is a shortcut to impaired blood supply to the pelvic organs as a result of congestion;
- unhealthy diet, fatty foods, alcohol, smoking;
- frequent restriction during sexual intercourse (for example, to avoid an unwanted pregnancy of a partner) or its interruption;
- infection in the genitourinary system due to poor personal hygiene or infection from a partner;
- frequent hypothermia of the body;
- weakened immunity, constipation, inflammatory phenomena in the body, including diseases of the upper respiratory tract;
- endocrine diseases, hormonal imbalance;
- surgical operations of the pelvic organs.
Despite the different causes of chronic prostatitis, the symptoms manifest themselves in the same way. Most often it is pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen.
Symptoms of chronic prostatitis
Signs of the disease may subside or intensify from time to time, which indicates an inflammatory process. You should not expect that everything will disappear by itself or that you will self-medicate, the consequences will be sad - impotence, infertility, oncology.

Modern urology distinguishes four categories of chronic prostatitis:
- acute bacterial - type I;
- chronic bacterial - type II;
- abacterial chronic - III type, (with inflammation - IIIa, without inflammation - IIIb);
- asymptomatic - IV type.
Methods for diagnosing chronic prostatitis
If characteristic symptoms are present, the urologist can easily make a diagnosis and additionally conduct a standard examination and examination.
Laboratory diagnostics helps to establish the presence of inflammation, the type of the causative agent of the disease and usually consists of taking and examining blood, urine and prostate secretions.

Instrumental examination - ultrasound or TRUS - allows you to determine what changes have occurred in the prostate gland, identify its size, density, presence of stones and neoplasms.
Only after making an accurate diagnosis, the doctor decides how to treat chronic prostatitis in this particular case.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis

In addition, it is necessary to take vitamins and immunomodulators to nourish the damaged tissues; in case of circulatory problems, venotonics, anticoagulants and blood thinners are additionally prescribed.
In a modern clinic, the effective treatment of chronic prostatitis includes a unique method - lymphotropic therapy. This is the introduction of drugs subcutaneously in areas located near the lymphatic vessels. At the same time, the absorption of the drug is significantly improved and the effect of the drug is enhanced, as it quickly spreads throughout the lymphatic system and from there reaches the desired organ or tissue.
You can improve the outflow of fluid from the prostate and normalize blood circulation in the pelvic organs by signing up for a massage for chronic prostatitis. The procedure is performed by an experienced urologist in the absence of contraindications. For men who are categorically against this method of treatment, it will be useful to perform the following exercises, which also have a positive effect on removing congestion in the pelvic area.

Why is chronic prostatitis dangerous? Ignoring the disease, shame and fear of seeking help from a doctor can lead to serious complications. The inflammatory process will eventually spread to the urinary system and, as a result, new diseases will appear (cystitis, urethritis, kidney failure, vesiculitis). Long-term inflammation of the reproductive system can lead to the formation of prostate adenoma, initially this is a benign neoplasm, but over time, without proper treatment, it can become malignant.

How long the course will last depends on your desire to recover and timely contact with a specialist. The prognosis in most cases is favorable.
