Diseases are different. Some diseases do not differentiate their victims by age or gender. There are diseases that target only men, encroaching on its very nature, hitting literally below the belt and driving many men crazy due to helplessness. The prostate gland disease is one of such diseases – a terrible threat for a man 20 to 40 years old that affects fertilizing ability and causes partial and even complete erectile dysfunction. Sooner or later, a man begins to understand that he successfully copes with all men’s duties, except for one, marital duties. Such a man imperceptibly may acquire the nickname Hey, you!:
– Hey, you! Go to the store! Hey, you! Bring me this or bring me that…
Such a man is like a dog in the manger. A lot of them visit their doctors with their heads bowed. They are very shy and can not confess of their sexual inadequacy.
What kind of organ is that? Why do all men mentally pray for it, and remember it only when they get sick? It is also affectionately called “the second men’s heart”. After all, vitality, energy, perception of the external world and the desire to live and enjoy life depend on this organ.
The prostate gland or prostate is a part of the male reproductive system. The Mother Nature hid it quite far and deep. It is located at the exit from the bladder and encircles the urethra in a ring-like manner.
The prostate consists of microglands, muscle and connective tissue. The glands produce a special fluid – prostatic fluid, which facilitates the transport of male semen and protects the sperm from destruction in the acidic environment of the vagina. The production of an ephemeral prostate hormone regulates libido (attraction to women), erection (penis enlargement), the duration of intercourse and the orgastitic sensations.
Depending on the body constitution, height, weight and the hormonal activity of the testicles, the size of the prostate gland varies within the following range: length – 2.5 to 4 cm, width – 2.2 to 3.2 cm, thickness – 1.7 to 2.5 cm.
Lots of diseases have been found for the prostate – prostatitis, prostatodynia, prostatosis, prostalgia, prostatitis without prostatitis, prostate atony, idiopathic and aseptic prostatitis, chronic pelvic pain syndrome, prostate adenoma, hyperplasia, BPH, etc. All these diseases are related to a small gland sized of a large chestnut. The most common group of prostate diseases is prostatitis. 30 to 50% of men have certain complaints on this disease. In addition, a lot of men are just shy and suffer from it alone.
The prevalence of prostate inflammation varies across occupations. Those people, who lead a sedentary lifestyle, such as managers, computer specialists, drivers and others, more often get sick. Constant hypothermia, stress, dry food and, as a result, frequent constipation, play an important role. The occurrence of prostatitis is due to improper rhythm of sexual activity – sexual dysrhythmia (long breaks or daily and multiple contacts). Uncontrolled sexual behavior and frequent change of sexual partners play equally important role. Because even if such men do not have sexually transmitted diseases, this necessarily leads to the exchange of microbes living peacefully in the genitals of almost all people. This exchange increases the aggressiveness of the microflora increasing the likelihood of prostatitis.
The greatest role is played by infection – escherichia coli, chlamydia, trichomonas, coccal microflora, ureo- and mycoplasmas, fungi, viruses and many others. The infectious agent often enters the prostate from the urethra through the excretory ducts of the prostate gland. So, prostatitis often occurs after untreated urethritis.
Inflammatory processes in the prostate can occur hematogenously, i.e. by transferring infection from other inflamed organs through blood vessels in case of inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, viral infection, even in the presence of carious teeth.
There is also non-infectious prostatitis called “urologist grief” or idiopathic prostatitis. Its aetiology is poorly understood, its pathogenesis is unclear, and the treatment is problematic. The treatment of such prostatitis according to generally accepted schemes is ineffective and a clear implementation of the recommendations of clinical protocols does not give results. Such prostatitis is a cause of grief for both the patient and the attending physician. According to the European Association of Urology, the number of such problematic prostatitis ranges from 35 to 45% of the total number of prostate diseases.
Chronic prostatitis has a variety of clinical symptoms:
– common: irritability, lethargy, weakness, fatigue, anxiety, sleep and appetite disorders. An adult person is like a capricious child, not understanding what he wants. He doesn’t know where he belongs and what he wants. In short, everything is not as it should be;
– local: suprapubic pain of different intensity and duration gets worse during or after intercourse. Pain in the testicles, perineum, rectum, discomfort and itching in the urinary canal, a feeling of coldness in the perineum, pulling up of the testicles in the scrotum;
– a specific symptom is an impaired urination – an increased urinary urgency, especially at night, a weakening of the urine stream, the need to push, and a feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder. The presence of an abundant amount of residual drops of urine after urination (dribbling) is quite upsetting for men;
– the appearance of mucous discharge from the urethra after defecation or physical exertion – prostatorrhea, i.e. outflow of prostatic fluid is very important sign. This is due to the impaired gland muscular contractility, the impaired tone of the prostate and can be a harbinger of the last group of symptoms – functional manifestations – sexual dysfunction, changes in the harmony of sexual relations. Sex drive decreases, erection becomes weakened, the period of sexual intercourse is shortened as much as possible to 15-30 seconds and orgasm becomes expressionless.
In many cases, prostatitis causes morphological changes in sperm cells, which leads to a decrease in the likelihood of fertilization, and even to infertility.
The most difficult outcome of chronic prostatitis is a prostate scarring and the appearance of calcifications (micro stones of various sizes) in the parenchyma of the prostate gland. They are usually 3-5 mm and amenable to dissolution with the right approach. The literature describes a case of operating finding – a prostatic stone weighing up to 700 g.
The principles of prostatitis treatment are well known and the attending physician is just required to “choose” the treatment program for the patient individually, i.e. each patient has his own treatment regimen. It is important to know that the treatment of prostatitis is long and multistage. It requires patience, perseverance and adherence from the patient. Prostatitis can’t be cured in one session.
Prostatitis must be treated by a healthcare professional – urologist. Despite your success in treating prostatitis, you should see your doctor periodically to prevent recurrence of the disease.
Aphorism: “The prostate is the second men’s heart” should convince many sceptics to treat their prostatitis more carefully.
One of herbal preparations that may help to solve this men’s problem is Adrius. Adrius phytocomplex contains only natural and well-studied ingredients such as tribulus, asparagus, withania, royal jelly and others. As a result, Adrius has the potential to not only expedite prostatitis recovery but also enhance overall body resistance. For men, a boost in libido and erection would be a welcome benefit. Likewise, for a man aspiring to become a father, an increase in both sperm count and activity would be a valuable advantage.
Be healthy!
