Inflammation of the prostate is characterized by a chronic or acute course. Such pathologies usually occur against the background of low-gas congestion, microtraumatic injuries, infections or penetration of pathogens into the urethra. It is perfectly acceptable to treat chronic prostatitis at home, but only under the supervision of specialists.
Therapy for chronic prostatitis can take up to several months, during which patients are advised to take prescribed medications, undergo physiotherapy and massage procedures.
Characteristics of chronic prostatitis
Inflammation of the prostate of the chronic form is quite common in men aged 25-50 years. This form of pathology is characterized by periodic exacerbations and periods of remission, which are constantly interchanged.
- Sometimes the inflammation is of infectious origin, it develops as a result of damage by bacterial pathogens. The vital activity of these bacteria negatively affects the prostate tissue, destroying them.
- There is also non-infectious prostatitis, which is caused by low basal congestion and other factors. One of the non-infectious prostate forms is congestive prostatitis, which occurs against the background of congestion.
- Chronic inflammation of the prostate is accompanied by quite unpleasant symptomatic manifestations such as frequent and painful urination, weakening of erectile function, lack of orgasm or pain in the abdomen and perineum.
- But it happens that the pathology develops secretly, but manifests itself already at the stage of exacerbation after the chronicity of the inflammatory process.
It is completely impossible to cure chronic prostatitis, but it is quite possible to keep the pathology under control so that it remains in remission for a long time. If an exacerbation occurs, then it is necessary to use drug therapy and home methods.
How to get rid of pain during an attack
