Congestive prostatitis in men: symptoms, causes, diagnosis and treatment

If the inflammatory process within the prostate is caused by congestion, the disease is called congestive prostatitis, congestive prostatitis or non-infectious prostatitis. Inflammation of the prostate occurs due to incomplete emptying of the blood-filled lobules. Most commonly, congestive prostatitis in men occurs due to irregular sex life and occurs in older patients. However, some cases occur against the background of chronic prostatitis and many other predisposing factors.

Causes of congestive prostatitis

Healthy prostate and prostate congestion with congestive prostatitisThe main cause of the pathology is the disruption of normal blood circulation in the pelvic organs. But prostate stagnation is caused by:
  1. Contagious acute and/or chronic diseases. The infection enters the prostate through the urethra, rectum, or lymphatic vessels;
  2. Hormonal imbalances in the patient’s body;
  3. Increased sexual activity leading to sexual exhaustion;
  4. In vitro ejaculation exercises;
  5. Sexual arousal does not reach ejaculation;
  6. Prolonging sexual intercourse and prolonging and "suppressing" ejaculation;
  7. Inadequate emptying of the prostate;
  8. A sedentary lifestyle leads to poor circulation in the pelvic organs;
  9. Varicose veins in the pelvic organs;
  10. Injury or damage to pelvic organs.
Factors can be combined or supplemented by individual causes. Only after a full examination by a specialist can it be possible to find out the triggering factors of urinary system diseases.By type, congestive prostatitis is divided into the following categories:
  • vein.Similar stagnation can occur in men if there are pathological changes in the venous system. For example, varicose veins of the lower limbs: the veins dilate and blood accumulates in the pelvic organ system, causing the phenomenon to transition to the prostate and causing the development of pathology.
  • Congestion.The disease is characterized by incomplete emptying of the glands, leading to an exacerbation of the inflammatory process - more common in mature men.
  • cognitive prostatitis– Pathologies with hidden symptoms that are dangerous due to their complications. Stagnation leads to irreversible consequences of the glandular organ - detachment of the epithelial layer of the tissue.
  • Chronic congestive prostatitis.It occurs due to factors such as irregular sexual life, frequent masturbation, and sedentary lifestyle. The main symptom is semen coming out in the form of clots. The prostate increases in size, which is dangerous because more complex lesions may develop.
  • Contagious.It occurs due to infection of the genitourinary system in the course of congestive pathology, which aggravates the inflammatory process and worsens the patient's general condition.
important!Only a specialist can identify the type and form of pathology. Treating congestive inflammation of the prostate on your own without consulting your doctor is dangerous and should only be done in the early stages of the disease.

Symptoms of congestive prostatitis

Men with congestive prostatitis suffer from pain or severe pain in the groin areaDuring the first stages of prostate stasis, symptoms are subtle and vague. This complicates timely diagnosis of the problem. But there are still some pathological signs:
  • Pain in the groin, replaced by burning and aching after prolonged walking or standing;
  • The pain radiates to the sacrum area and inner thigh;
  • Decreased libido;
  • Sensation of incomplete emptying of the prostate – incomplete orgasm;
  • Poor erection;
  • pain during urination;
  • Nocturnal urinary behavior is characterized by small or intermittent urination;
  • Severe stabbing pain in groin radiating to anal area;
  • Deterioration of general health: weakness, fatigue, absentmindedness.
The progression of pathology from acute to chronic forms leads to an increase in pain syndromes - the discomfort becomes stable. Pain attacks become more frequent and localized to the groin. However, acute relapses give way to remission, the patient thinks he is free of the disease, and congestive prostatitis has become chronic and dangerous due to inflammation of the excretory ducts and epithelial tissue sloughing.
important!The most dangerous symptom is stopping urinating. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience similar symptoms, regardless of whether symptoms are worsened by painful symptoms or other signs of prostate stasis.

Diagnosis of congestive prostatitis

Ultrasound will help diagnose congestive prostatitis in menThe nonspecific nature of the disease makes diagnosis difficult. In order not to misjudge the conclusion, the urologist conducts a number of tests:
  1. Palpation and rectal examination to assess the status of prostate and rectal hemorrhoids;
  2. blood and urine tests;
  3. Analysis of prostate secretions to determine resistance to groups of drugs;
  4. ultrasound;
  5. In special cases, CT scans and genitourinary examinations are performed - this allows us to clarify the cause of the pathology.
Treatment of congestive prostatitis can only occur after a diagnosis has been made. It should be remembered that this disease can be successfully eliminated at any stage, but with early treatment full sexual potency can be preserved.

Treatment of congestive prostatitis

In order to choose an effective treatment for prostate congestion, examinations and an individual course of treatment are required.

drug

Medical treatment uses antimicrobials, alpha-blockers, muscle relaxants, hormones, and phytotherapeutics. Antimicrobial drugs are indicated for treating congestive prostatitis caused by infection, but the drug should be taken along with a group of medications to maintain immunity. The choice of drug is influenced by the bacteria causing the pathology. Alpha-blockers are sphincter-opening drugs that block the effects of impulses that affect smooth muscle tone. Taking medications can improve a patient's condition, increase urination rate, and reduce bladder wall spasm and sensitivity to pressure.Herbal medicine is a carefully selected herbal complex used only as a complement to other treatments. Herbs are great for relieving inflammation and swelling, have antibacterial properties, and help decongest the prostate.Hormone medication is used to normalize the balance of estrogen and androgens. Treatment relieves inflammation and prevents further progression of pathology.Muscle relaxants are a special group of drugs that act locally on the striated muscles of the perineum. Reduced muscle tone results in less pain, relieving tension in the pelvic diaphragm and eliminating feelings of fullness and pressure.
important!Medication is only prescribed by a specialist. Self-administration of medications is prohibited. Herbal medicines are also contraindicated in patients without a clear diagnosis. Choosing the wrong compound in the early stage of congestive prostatitis is ineffective and will worsen the condition later..

A special set of exercises that are simple to perform, such as: squeezing and releasing the anal muscles, but at the same time very effective, will allow you to completely get rid of congestive prostatitis and never experience the threat of pathology again.
  • Neuromodulator (Neuromodulator) Treatmentis a method of electrical current therapy designed to eliminate pain syndromes. It is performed in a variety of ways, the most popular of which is by stimulating nerve endings in the spinal cord. Percutaneous exposure provides good results, but this treatment has contraindications and needs to be treated on an individual basis.
  • Acupuncture massage or acupuncture- A good and effective method that involves the introduction of special needles into strictly defined points in the body. Goal: Activate the recovery process and normalize blood flow, accelerating recovery.

Laser treatment of prostate congestion has proven to be very effective. The effect on the nerve endings of cells ensures rapid elimination of the main problem and accompanying negative symptoms.
important!Like other treatments, physical therapy is prescribed by a specialist. Seeking help without a clear diagnosis is dangerous.

Surgical methods

  • Narrowing of the urethra;
  • Prostate abscess;
  • Sclerosis of the prostate;
  • enlarged prostate;
  • Invasion secretions flow out through the seminal vesicles.
There are a variety of surgical techniques; the choice depends on the clinical context of the pathology and the patient's individual characteristics.
