Calculus prostatitis in men: what is it
Calculous prostatitis is a complication of chronic inflammation of the prostate gland, which consists in the formation of stones (calculi) in the excretory ducts of the prostate gland. The peak of this pathology falls on 30-39 years. This is associated with an increase in cases of chronic prostatitis, which develops against the background of sexually transmitted diseases.
In men between 40 and 59 years of age, the appearance of this pathology may be associated with prostate adenoma (growth of the glandular tissue of the prostate), and in people over 60 years of age, with the extinction of sexual function. Depending on the cause of the formation, the stones are true (primary) or false (secondary). The primary ones are formed in the ducts of the gland, and the secondary ones pass to the prostate from the upper urinary tract (kidneys, bladder and urethra) if the patient has urolithiasis.
Calculous prostatitis is caused by inflammation in the prostate gland. Violation of the emptying of the prostate glands occurs due to irregularity or lack of sexual intercourse, as well as sedentary lifestyle. Against the background of an infection, stones are formed in a person, because of this, the secretion in the prostate stagnates.
Also, the development of this disease leads to an abnormal reflux of a small amount of urine from the urethra into the ducts of the prostate gland during the emission of urine. Because of this, the salts in the urine crystallize, thicken and turn into stones. Prostate stones are chemically the same as bladder stones:
- oxalate (appear due to the formation of salts of oxalic acid);
- phosphate (formed against the background of a violation of the synthesis of phosphoric acid);
- urate (uric acid salts are formed).
Main symptoms and types.
The main symptom of calculous prostatitis is pain. It has a dull and painful character, and is located on the perineum, scrotum, above the pubis, on the sacrum and coccyx. The pain syndrome is aggravated by acts of defecation (fecal excretion), sexual intercourse, physical activity, and prolonged sitting on a hard surface, as well as long walks.
Patients complain of frequent urination or complete urinary retention. Blood impurities (hematuria) or haemospermia (appearance of blood plasma in the seminal fluid) are found in urea. People with this disease are characterized by:
- decreased libido (sexual activity);
- weak erection;
- violations of ejaculation (discharge of seminal fluid during sexual intercourse);
- painful ejaculation.
In the absence of therapy, patients may develop complications in the form of:
- kidney disease;
- cystitis (inflammation of the urinary tract);
- sterility;
- abscess;
- urinary retention.
Treatment
Calculus prostatitis in men is treated with antibiotics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Also, vitamins are actively used in therapy to strengthen immunity, anti-inflammatory drugs, prebiotics (after taking a course of antibiotics), and other drugs. Surgery is sometimes used to remove the stones. This method is indicated when drug therapy does not give positive results for a long time.
Of the physiotherapeutic methods used:
- magnetotherapy (exposure to a magnetic field);
- laser treatment (stone removal);
- electrophoresis (using current);
- EHF therapy (low frequency irradiation).
With calculous prostatitis, prostate massage is strictly prohibited. The most effective method is crushing stones with a laser. In a few sessions, the stones can be removed naturally.
