Prostate inflammation occurs in different forms and reaches different stages. Calcareous prostatitis is a disease characterized by the formation of stones in the prostate with subsequent harmful consequences.
What is this disease?
Calcatic prostatitis refers to a fairly rare form of prostate problem. It develops against the background of chronic inflammation and other diseases. It is accompanied by deterioration in visual acuity, problems urinating, pain in the perineum and lower abdomen.
There are two types of diseases:
- Realstones are formed directly in the prostate and consist of calcium and phosphoric acid salts.
- Wrong- conglomerates get into the prostate from other organs and are obtained from urea salts.
entities vary in size and number. Prostate stones are also divided into two types:
- Endogenous- received as a complication in chronic prostatitis, increases the likelihood of stagnant processes;
- Exogenous- occur as a result of untreated diseases of the genitourinary system and often impede the excretion of urine.
The main danger of chronic calcareous prostatitis is the rapid deterioration in a man's general health, the development of complications and the appearance of new inflammation in other systems and organs.
reasons
Stones in the prostate are formed for the following reasons: stagnation of prostate secretion and penetration of urine into the organ.
The first occurrence is called:
- Acute or chronic prostatitis;
- adenoma;
- cancer.
An abnormality such as urine penetration into the ducts of the prostate is caused by the following factors:
- Regular inflammation of the urinary system;
- injuries to the genitals;
- surgical intervention;
- stones in the bladder and kidneys;
- urinary catheterization.
The predisposition for calcareous diseases is also based on several requirements:
- neglect of regular hygiene procedures;
- bad habits;
- Irregular intimate life, rare sexual contact;
- Decreased function of the immune system;
- Constant stress;
- Effects of negative environmental factors;
- lack of exercise;
- abuse of unhealthy foods;
- hormonal failure;
- exposure to chronic constipation.
Diagnosis: symptoms and signs in men
Signs of calcareous prostatitis are expressed in:
- pain in the groin and lower abdomen, extending to the lower back, pelvis, scrotum;
- Disturbance of urine output, accompanied by pain syndrome, frequent urge, a feeling of constant bladder fullness;
- The presence of bloody contamination in semen or urine;
- Pain after emptying the bladder or bowel, sexual intercourse, physical activity;
- erectile dysfunction.
If not adequately treated, further symptoms appear after 1-2 months:
- Increased irritability;
- Quick fatigue;
- sleep disorder;
- general weakness;
- Severe headache;
- temperature rise.
To identify calcareous prostatitis, you need to see a doctor. After the first examination and collection of the anamnesis, the urologist is assigned the following:
- blood and urine tests, including microfloraculture;
- Monitoring of the urinary excretion regime (uroflowmetry);
- Examination of prostate secretion;
- Prostate-specific antigen detection;
- Ultrasound diagnostics of the pelvic organs and the prostate;
- Test by Meares.
How should calcareous prostatitis be treated?
Dealing with stones requires an integrated approach. Treatment of calcareous prostatitis includes taking medication and assisting with folk remedies. The effect on the prostate with a laser and some physiotherapy techniques is also effective.
Preparations
The drugs of first choice in the treatment of calcareous prostatitis are antibiotics. Depending on the test results, specific drugs or injections will be prescribed.
The following categories of antibacterial drugs are most recommended:
- penicillins;
- Fluoroquinolones are considered to be the most effective. For use it is necessary to exclude prostate tuberculosis;
- Tetracyclines - cause side effects;
- Cephalosporins - indicated in cases where intramuscular injections are required.
In addition, the treatment regimen for calcareous pathology contains biologically active additives that have a complex effect on prostate tissue, activate blood flow, improve cell regeneration, prevent impotence and prevent complications.
The therapy scheme also includes:
- painkillers;
- medicines that suppress inflammation and reduce swelling;
- vitamin complexes;
- preparations to improve blood circulation;
- Medicines that strengthen the immune system.
Is it possible to have a massage for calcareous prostatitis?
Many forms of prostatitis are effectively treated by direct massage of the gland, but such an effect is categorically excluded in the calcareous form. It is possible to resort to sessions only after the stones have been removed (and then only as directed by the doctor).
IMPORTANT: In their work, some urologists point to a direct connection between the function of the prostate and the normal activity of the spine. A massage of the spine and a special effect on biological points can thus be offered as an additional treatment.
The following areas of the body are kneaded during the procedure:
- Feet - The outflow of venous blood from the pelvic organs is activated and the pain is reduced.
- pelvis - facilitates bowel movements and urination;
- buttocks - reduces sperm congestion;
- Lumbar - The prostate function is stabilized.
Folk remedies for calcareous prostatitis: the most effective
Folk remedies also help relieve calcareous prostatitis and speed recovery.
The following is considered highly effective for stones:
- Herbal infusion.Mix the nude hernia and the black letter in equal proportions. Pour a tablespoon of the collection into 0. 5 liters of boiling water. Insist until cool. Drink ½ cup 20 minutes before each main meal;
- Rose hip root cook. Grind dry roots. Pour 30 g with 250 ml of pure water and boil on high heat for a minute. Leave on for 2 hours and go through the cheesecloth. Drink instead of regular tea during the day.
- Parsley broth. Put 30 g of plant seeds in a pot. Pour a glass of boiling water and hold on low heat for a quarter of an hour. Let cool down. Take one teaspoon up to 6 times a day;
- Collection of salvation.Mix in equal parts sage, nettle, chamomile inflorescences, calamus, bearberry and plantain. Stir and take 30 g. Pour the mixture with 0, 5 liters of boiling water and leave for 2 hours. Drink 10 ml three times a day;
- Infusion of hawthorn. Put 3 tablespoons of plant berries in a thermos. There, add 3 cups of boiling water. The infusion is ready after three hours. It is recommended to drink 3 glasses of the drink a day.
- juice mix.Squeeze the asparagus juice down to 600 ml. This is the portion that must be drunk throughout the day. It is recommended to add beet, cucumber and carrot juices to the liquid (in any concentration that gives priority to taste).
- Cinnamon and mint tea.Put a cinnamon stick and a spoonful of mint leaves in a teapot and pour seven hundred milliliters of freshly boiled water. Wait for the drink to brew and add some honey and lime (or lemon) juice. Drink instead of tea after every meal;
- Pumpkin seeds. It is recommended to eat 30 before breakfast. It is important that the seeds are raw (not roasted).
Laser
Laser therapy is a relatively new technique for curing chronic calcareous prostatitis. The technology is most commonly used in clinics in Israel. The procedure consists of inserting an instrument called a microprobe optical fiber into the body. Due to the fineness of the jet, stones are punctually destroyed, healthy tissue is not impaired.
Concrete is broken up into smaller pieces and gradually excreted from the body along with urine in the form of sand. Doctors insist that this method must be combined with drug treatment.
The duration of a session is usually between ten and fifteen minutes. To completely remove and remove stones from the prostate, it will take six to ten sessions, depending on the severity of the pathology.
Additional techniques
Indicated for calcareous prostatitis and physiotherapy procedures. Shock wave therapy (SWT) is a technique that allows you to effectively break up stones.
The mechanism of action of shock wave therapy consists in the effect of acoustic impulses that are inaudible to a person on the prostate. They are simulated with special devices. Waves easily pass through healthy tissue and affect pathological seals.
The following manipulations are also useful for treatment:
- Ultrasound - reduces pain, suppresses inflammation;
- Magnetic Therapy - removes swelling and improves blood circulation;
- treatment with low-frequency electricity - has an analgesic effect, increases the tone of the gland, normalizes microcirculation in the blood;
- hydrogen sulfide baths - indicated for significant circulatory disorders;
- Application of silt and peat mud - stimulates tissue healing.
If all else fails, an operation is assigned. This involves removing part of the prostate along with the stones. Refers to radical methods.
