Chronic prostatitis is an inflammatory process of the prostate gland in a man with its long course (more than six months).
Usually this pathology is the result of an infectious process.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis is aimed at eliminating the causative agent of the infection.
Lack of such treatment can lead to the development of various functional disorders and complications, up to male infertility.
Causes of chronic prostatitis Various pathogenic (pathogenic) microorganisms lead to the development of an inflammatory reaction with its prolonged course.
There are 2 main groups of chronic prostatitis pathogens:
- Nonspecific bacterial infection–Pathogenic microorganisms that can lead to the development of an inflammatory reaction in different organs, such as streptococci, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Proteus, Staphylococcus.
- Specific infection.Pathogenic microorganisms parasitize only on the structures of the urogenital tract of a man (chlamydia, ureaplasma, Trichomonas).
Knowledge of the cause of the development of the chronic inflammatory process of the prostate is necessary for the subsequent choice of a rational etiotropic therapy.
Aims to destroy the pathogenic pathogen.
Other factors can also become the causes of the development of chronic prostatitis.
Stagnation of blood in the small pelvis leads to insufficient oxygen exchange in the tissues of the organs.
This affects their regeneration and resistance to infection.
A general decrease in the protective function of the body provokes the development of inflammation.
Lack of physical activity has a detrimental effect on human health and leads to a decrease in the body's defenses.
Factors that lead to the development of chronic prostatitis include problems in the intimate life of the patient.

Overwork and stressful situations can, in combination with other reasons, cause prostate problems.
Drinking alcohol and smoking in large quantities leads to disruption of the reproductive system in men.
Classification of prostatitis
There are three types of diseases:
- Bacterial;
- Non-bacterial;
- Prostatedynia.
The first type is characterized by the detection of microorganisms in the discharge.
To treat this variety, antibacterial drugs are needed.
A non-bacterial condition is a condition in which there are no bacteria in the gland's secretion.
Prostatodynia is a process in which the patient presents complaints typical of prostatitis, but there are no abnormalities in the analysis of prostate secretion.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis with concomitant pathology.
Patients with prostate problems often have other problems.
It can be cardiovascular diseases, diseases of the respiratory and digestive systems.
For these patients, the therapy regimen will be different.
To properly adjust the treatment, it is necessary to undergo a proper diagnosis.
