Prostatitis

We have almost heard of prostatitis, but not everyone knows what this word means.Prostatitis is an inflammatory disease of the prostate gland in men.Therefore, the prostate gland is a purely male organ, prostatitis is a purely male disease.It should be noted that he is one of the most common among men in the field of urology.

The prostate is located under the bladder.This organ is responsible for the normal functioning of the male organs and offspring.The gland also controls the level of hormones in the blood, such as steroid hormones, androgens and estrogens.

For various reasons, the prostate becomes inflamed, leading to a decrease in the quality of life in the stronger sex.Let's try to understand the causes of the disease and its symptoms.

3. The chronic form is characterized by an asymptomatic course of the disease or mild symptoms.The danger of this course of the disease is that it can worsen at any time under the influence of a certain number of causes.

What causes prostate inflammation and what are the causes of the disease?Let's try to understand it.

Reasons

Medical representatives identify the following common causes of prostate disease in men:

Alcohol and cigarettes are thought to reduce the overall resistance of the body to disease.The increasing factor is also nutrition, poorly saturated with vitamins and minerals.

These are just the main reasons.Some doctors believe that in some cases the causes of prostatitis are hidden deep at the genetic level.

Types

Prostatitis has several classifications.Doctors share it for the causes of the onset, nature and the development of the disease, in duration and concentration of the focus of the disease.We will understand it more detailed.

Infectious prostatitis

The danger of this disease is that the infection affects not only the prostate but also the adjacent organs (bladder, rectum).

The main reason is the weakening of the body's immune forces, this can lead to this:
