Recently, more and more men are being diagnosed with prostate adenoma. Over time, scientists realized that this disease and prostatitis, figuratively speaking, "go hand in hand." Why is prostatitis often accompanied by another disease - adenoma - and how to overcome this diagnosis? We will consider all possible causes and symptoms of a developing benign tumor.
Prostate adenoma
Why are we talking about a benign tumor? In the scientific world, this disease is known under a completely different name - benign hyperplasia. In fact, this is a benign tumor, in which the growth of small glands of the submucosal layer located in the neck of the bladder simply occurs. As a result, these formations put pressure not only on the bladder andtubules, but also on blood vessels, which causes congestion and, as a result, thrombosis, insufficient blood movement in the affected area. If you believe the statistics, then the older the man, the more likely it is that he will find such a diagnosis. For example, people over the age of 50 in 50% of cases have this disease. Age over 70 raises the percentage to 75. There are several degrees of severity of the disease:
- Compensated, in which urination becomes more frequent, but the bladder is completely emptied.
- Subcompensated - characterized by difficult outflow of urine, which does not come out completely.
- Decompensated, which is characterized by incontinence and involuntary drip.
Adenoma and prostatitis
Sometimes these diseases occur separately. But, as mentioned earlier, prostatitis is often accompanied by another disease - adenoma. If the first disease is characterized by the presence of inflammatory processes in the prostate, then the second, as mentioned above, causes the cells to grow. As a result, there is pressure on the urinary tract, the bladder. Remarkably, these diagnoses are often not observed in castrated and castrated men. This is explained by the fact that the endocrine system begins to malfunction more and more with age.
Causes of occurrence
Prostatitis is often accompanied by another disease - adenoma. And there are a number of reasons for this. These include:
- Hypercooling.
- Sexually transmitted infections.
- Inconstancy and inferiority of sexual life.
- Any hormonal disorders.
- Severe decrease in immunity.
- Impaired blood circulation and lymphatic drainage.
Most of these factors are observed in old age. Adenoma refers to hormone-dependent tumors. By itself, it does not cause any problems. But as it grows, it begins to put pressure on important organs or joints, such as blood vessels, urinary tract, nerves, and bladder. Medicines for prostatitis and adenoma may differ in name and degree of effect. But they are quite effective and efficient. Therefore, doctors will not necessarily prescribe surgery.
Diagnosis and treatment of prostatitis and prostate adenoma
If you heard such a diagnosis, it does not mean that you will definitely have an operation. In the early stages, only medical treatment is offered, since operations do not bring a great positive result. It is diagnosed quite easily - any manifestations of the disease are easily determined by ultrasound. Despite the fact that prostatitis is often accompanied by another disease - adenoma, it can also occur separately. In this case, inflammatory processes can be completely cured. Methods of treatment and medicines for prostatitis and adenoma can be divided into non-traditional ones, such as herbal remedies, acupuncture, acupressure, heating, and traditional ones - taking Adenoprostal drugs,"Adenorm", "Vitaprost" and others. In addition, vitamin complexes will not be superfluous.
