If a person is diagnosed with prostatitis, he should start treatment immediately. Inflammation of the prostate gland is not uncommon, and according to statistics, more than 50% of men experience it throughout their lives. The prognosis of the disease depends on how long treatment is started. If not eliminated in the acute stage, chronic prostatitis occurs. It is difficult to predict exactly whether it can be treated.
Description and symptoms
A man's body has a prostate gland, in other words, a prostate. It is responsible for the synthesis of male sex hormones. The gland is characterized by an effective number of channels through which bacteria and viruses that cause infection can enter. Inflammation spreads to the soft tissues, which increases the size of the body and puts pressure on the pelvic region. This process is called prostatitis.
The symptoms of the disease are individual in nature and depend on the neglect of the disease and its subtypes. If the disease is chronic, there is pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen. Signs may appear spontaneous and can sometimes last a long time. In some cases, the pain spreads to the lower back and groin. True dysfunction and erection problems develop. Urine slows down, this process is accompanied by pain.
Main symptoms:
- manifestation of cystitis, frequent urination;
- pain in lower abdomen, back and scrotum;
- sexual dysfunction;
- Negative change in sperm quality and quantity.
A thorough examination should be performed to understand if chronic prostatitis can be cured.
Causes
Prostatitis can manifest itself for several reasons. First of all, it is an infection or stagnation. All this interferes with the normal functioning of the prostate gland, which leads to an increase in size and inflammation. When a pathology occurs, a man experiences pain and discomfort, such as cystitis. Both are joined by weakness. Infectious substances that cause such events: bacteria, viruses, fungi.
Many patients who do not improve their acute form of the disease in time are forced to think that chronic prostatitis can be treated. The forms treated are the first to appear. But there is a chance of recovery from chronic pathologies. The main causes of the onset of chronic prostatitis include a sedentary lifestyle and traumatic damage to the prostate gland.
You can also highlight this:

Patient Feedback
- I couldn't believe it happened to me when I had prostatitis. It all started with frequent walks to the toilet, then the urine became painful. I thought I might have a venereal disease.
I was treated by three doctors, but the pills they prescribed did not make it easier. Very by chance, I found a specialist at the regional clinic who raised me up. The disease was simple, but the doctor's experience turned out to play an important role.
If you have symptoms of prostatitis, you cannot postpone a urological visit. I hesitated for a long time, using various excuses. Acute prostatitis has become a chronic form for me, all because I am afraid of being tested. In fact, they are quite simple. The main role is played by bacterial culture, PCR for latent infections. You must also undergo a bacterial culture of urine and semen. Some doctors do not refer patients for these examinations. We must avoid them. The treatment here can be difficult and long, but you can recover forever.
For prostatitis, I was offered high-frequency treatment, but somehow I didn't trust them. I insisted on prescribing normal medication. Examination revealed small pathological changes. Now, after a course of treatment, there are almost no symptoms.
