Chronic prostatitis is considered an inflammatory process that releases long located in the prostate gland.At the same time, a man can only feel poor discomfort, so he does not always see a doctor.The pathology has a code for ICB 10 - N41.1.
Forms of prostate
The disease develops in case of improper treatment of acute form or in the absence of any therapy.A pathology occurs not only in the elderly but also in young people, which is dictated by a decrease in physical activity.The morphology and functionality of the organ is impaired.Treatment of chronic prostatitis should begin in the presence of the first symptoms.Otherwise, the work of the gland will be worried forever.Therapy mainly depends on what provoked the pathological process.The disease presented can be divided into several groups:
- During the causal factor: infectious;viral;bacterial;caused by fungi, mycoplasma;Honor;Mixed.
- According to the pathogenetic factor, chronic prostatitis may be the following types: hematogenous (infection in the prostate gland from the pathological concentration falls through the blood);infected with contact (through the walls of the neighboring organs);Lymphogenic (penetration of pathogens through the lymph).
The lesion of the prostate gland is stagnant.It develops due to a poor flow of prostate secretion.The fluid is stuck and an inflammatory process occurs.If the problem is provoked by blocking the organ channels (stones), then in this case we can talk about the type of calculation of the pathology.Also, chronic prostatitis is bacterial and abacterial.In the first case, the pathogen is necessarily present, the second form occurs due to mechanical damage to the gland or under the influence of other factors, among which there are no pathogens.It is the abacterial option found in 80% of cases.
Causes and provocative factors
Before treating chronic prostatitis in men, experts must discover the cause of their appearance.Pathology can provoke the following conditions:
- Sexual infections: chlamydia, ureaplasmosis, herpes, gonococcus, fungi;
- violation of microcirulation in tissues and blood flow to the pelvic organs;
- Urological pathology;
- presence of infectious seals in the body;
- hemorrhoids as well as chronic constipation;
- damage to the genitals or spinal cord;
- weakening immunity;
- tumor process;
- hormonal failure, impaired functionality of the endocrine system;
- heart failure;
- Transferred surgery, including in the abdominal organs.
These causes of chronic prostate are fundamental.And there are other negative factors that contribute to the development of the disease:
