Prostatitis in men - causes of stones, symptoms and treatment

Inflammation of the prostate occurs in different forms and reaches different stages. Accountable prostatitis is a type of disease characterized by the formation of stones in the prostate with the following harmful consequences.

What is this disease?

Calculating prostatitis refers to a fairly rare form of prostate problems. It develops against the background of chronic inflammation and other diseases. It is accompanied by a deterioration of visual acuity, urination problem, pain in the perineum and lower abdomen.

There are two types of diseases:

• True- stones form directly in the prostate gland and are formed from salts of calcium, phosphoric acid;
• False- conglomerates enter the prostate from other organs and are obtained from urea salts.

Subjects vary in size and number. Prostate stones are also classified into 2 types:

• Endogenous- taken in chronic prostate, as a complication, increases the likelihood of stagnant processes;
• Exogenous- occur as a result of untreated diseases of the genitourinary system, often impeding urine output.

The main risk of chronic prostatitis is a rapid deterioration of a man's general health, the development of complications, the emergence of new inflammations in other systems and organs.

Reasons

Stones in the prostate gland form for the following reasons: delayed prostate secretion and penetration of urine into the organ.

The first event is called:

• Acute or chronic prostatitis;
Adenoma; Cancer.

An abnormality such as the entry of urine into the prostate ducts is caused by the following factors:

• Regular inflammation of the urinary system;
• Injuries to the genitals;
• Surgical intervention;
• Stones in the bladder and kidneys;
• Bladder catheterization.

Predisposition to calculus is also due to several prerequisites:

• Neglect of regular hygiene procedures;
• Bad habits;
• Irregular intimate life, infrequent sexual contact;
• Decreased immune system function;
• Constant exposure to stress;
• Impact of negative environmental factors;
• Sedentary lifestyle;
• Abuse of unhealthy food;
• Hormonal failure;
• Exposure to chronic constipation.

Diagnosis: Symptoms and Signs in Men

Signs of calculous prostatitis are expressed in:

• Pain in the groin and lower abdomen, extending to the lower back, pelvis, scrotum;
• Disorder of urine secretion, accompanied by pain syndrome, frequent cravings, feeling of constant bladder filling;
• Presence of bloody impurities in semen or urine;
• Pain after emptying the bladder or intestines, sexual intercourse, physical activity;
• Erectile dysfunction.

• Sleep Disorder;
• General weakness;
• Severe headaches;
• Temperature rise.

To identify prostatitis by calculation, you should see a doctor. After the initial examination and collection of the anamnesis, the urologist is appointed:

• Blood and urine tests, including microflora culture;
• Monitoring of urinary excretion regime (uroflowmetry);
• Study of prostate secretion;
• Detection of prostate specific antigen;
• Ultrasound diagnosis of pelvic organs and prostate gland;
• Test by Meares.

How to treat calcified prostatitis, what to do?

Dealing with stones requires an integrated approach. Treatment of calculous prostatitis includes taking medication, support with folk remedies. The effect on the prostate with a laser and some physiotherapy techniques also shows itself effectively.

Preparations

The first choice drugs in the treatment of calculous prostatitis are antibiotics. Specific drugs or injections are prescribed depending on the test results.

The following categories of antibacterial drugs are most commonly recommended:

• Penicillin;
• Fluoroquinolones are considered to be the most effective. For use, it is necessary to exclude prostate tuberculosis;
• Tetracyclines - provoke side effects;
• Cephalosporins - indicated when intramuscular injections are required.

In addition, biologically active additives are included in the treatment regimen for calculus pathology, which have a complex effect on prostate tissue, activate blood flow, increase cell regeneration, prevent impotence and prevent complications.

The therapy regimen also includes:

• Pain relieving drugs;
• Medicines that suppress inflammation and reduce swelling;
• Vitamin complexes;
• Preparations to improve blood circulation;
• Drugs that strengthen the immune system.

Is it possible to massage the calculated prostate?

Many forms of prostatitis are effectively treated with direct gland massage, however, in the calculating form, such an effect is categorically ruled out. Session is possible to conduct sessions only after the removal of stones (and even then, only as prescribed by a doctor).

IMPORTANT:some urologists in their work point to a direct link between prostate function and normal spinal activity. Thus, a spinal massage and a special effect on biological points can be offered as an additional treatment.

The following areas of the body are kneaded during the procedure:

• Legs - activates venous blood flow from the pelvic organs and reduces soreness;
• Pelvis - facilitates the processes of defecation and urination;
• Buttocks - reduces sperm blockage;
• Hips - prostate function is stabilized.

Folk remedies for calculous prostatitis: more effective

Laser

Laser therapy is a relatively new technique that cures chronic prostatic calculi. The technology is most widely used in clinics in Israel. The method consists in inserting into the body of an instrument called a microporous optical fiber. Due to the fineness of the beam, the stones are destroyed in a marked way, healthy tissues are not affected.

Concretes are crushed into smaller pieces and gradually excreted in the form of sand from the body along with urine. Doctors insist that this method should be combined with medication treatment.

The duration of a session is usually between ten and fifteen minutes. Six to ten sessions are required to remove and completely remove stones from the prostate gland, depending on the severity of the pathology.

Additional techniques

Indicated for calcified prostatitis and physiotherapy procedures. Shock Wave Therapy (SWT) is a technique that allows you to press stones effectively.

The mechanism of action of shock wave therapy consists in the effect of inaudible acoustic impulses on a person in the prostate. They are recreated using special equipment. Waves pass easily through healthy tissue, affecting pathological seals.

The following manipulations are also useful for treatment:

• Ultrasound - reduces pain, suppresses inflammation;
• Magnetic therapy - eliminates bloating and improves blood flow;
• Low frequency current treatment - gives an analgesic effect, increases the tone of the gland, normalizes blood microcirculation;
• Hydrogen sulfide baths - indicated for significant circulatory disorders;
• Application of sludge and peat mud - stimulates tissue healing.

If all else fails, an operation is scheduled. In the process, part of the prostate is removed along with the stones. Refers to radical methods.
