Prostatitis refers to the acute and chronic inflammation caused by prostate-specific and non-specific infection, resulting in systemic or local symptoms. What is the cause of prostatitis? What harm is there? How should I treat it?
Causes of prostatitis
1. Endocrine dysfunction is one of the causes of chronic prostatitis. The prostate is the largest accessory gland in men. Only under the regulation and control of the senior center of the brain can it play its normal secretory function and maintain the normal tissue structure of the gland. With the growth of age, the control ability of the nerve center gradually weakens, the level of male hormone decreases, and endocrine imbalance occurs. At this time, the gland may undergo degenerative changes, that is, the secretion function of the gland is reduced, and the tissue fibrosis and proliferation, thus providing favorable conditions for bacterial infection.
2. The cause of chronic prostatitis is the disorder of blood circulation of glands. The blood supply of the prostate is very rich. It comes from the upper, middle and lower arteries of the prostate. However, fewer veins return blood. Only through many small blood vessels can they gradually integrate into the large venous vessels, and the blood flow resistance of the prostate will increase. At this time, if the gland is repeatedly congested for a long time, the venous reflux may be aggravated. With the passage of time, the glands also have delayed changes. Fibrous tissue replaces glandular cells. Gland sclerosis further aggravates the disorder of blood circulation in the gland, causes blood stasis, and increases the chance of bacterial retention.
3. The change of acute prostatitis is also the cause of chronic prostatitis. However, most patients have not experienced the stage of acute infection. The route of bacterial infection is the same as that of acute prostatitis, mainly due to infection furnace bleeding in other parts of the body, direct spread of urinary tract infection and lymphatic infection. Prostate calculus is often accompanied by chronic inflammatory reaction, but microlithiasis is difficult to find in X-ray examination, and may be an important source of infection.
What is the harm of prostatitis?
1. Affect work and life.
Due to the stimulation of inflammation, a series of symptoms, such as swelling and pain in lumbosacral, perineum, testicles and other parts, unclean urine, frequent night urination and so on, make patients fidgety and affect work and life.
2. Affect sexual function and cause impotence and premature ejaculation.
Because the disease cannot be cured for a long time, all kinds of diseases and discomfort worsen in the later stage or directly affect the feeling and quality of sexual life, and gradually produce aversion to the patient's malignant stimulation, causing impotence, premature ejaculation and other phenomena.
