Prostatitis is a disease that all men fear. This is a condition in which inflammation of the prostate gland develops, which easily leads to severe complications. Every year the disease affects more and more men and becomes younger. So, according to doctors' statistics, 30% of men aged 30 to 35 years are diagnosed with an inflammatory process in the prostate gland. In the group over 50 years of age, inflammation is present in 50% of men. Among people over 65, prostatitis is diagnosed in 70%. In the absence of therapy, the disease begins to progress slowly but surely, eventually leading to the development of oncology. If you start to fight the disease immediately, as soon as it is felt, using a combination of drugs and folk remedies, then you can count on a quick and complete recovery. Do not be afraid of the diagnosis of "prostatitis", because this disease is not cancer and with proper treatment can be cured successfully. At the slightest doubt about this, you should consult a doctor and choose the optimal treatment with him.
What can cause prostatitis
There are many reasons in the beginning to develop inflammation of the prostate gland and very often they are combined with each other. As the main provokers of the disease, doctors today call:
- Sexually transmitted diseases and infectionsSexually transmitted diseases - it is not uncommon for diseases to develop imperceptibly long after entering the body and take over the entire genitourinary system. In such a situation, prostatitis is usually diagnosed when the underlying disease becomes apparent and that is why they seek medical help.
- Entry into the ducts of the prostate gland of urine- This happens if there is a violation of the process of urination, in which the circular muscles of the urethra gradually relax.
- Disorders of blood circulation in the pelvic organs- they are observed when a sedentary lifestyle, wearing very tight, tight pants and underpants leads to the fact that the blood circulation in the pelvic organs is interrupted. As a result, the prostate gland overflows with blood, which leads to its chronic damage, after which there are disturbances in its work and supply of nutrients. Therefore, an inflammatory process develops in the prostate gland.
- Interruption of sexual intercourse,artificial prolongation of sexual intercourse or prolonged abstinence - all this leads to the fact that the secretion of the prostate gland does not leave the body and its stagnation occurs, which causes inflammation.
- Hormonal disorders in the body- in case of failure in the production of sex hormones there is a significant increase or decrease in the activity of gland cells, which causes inflammation. Most often, prostatitis occurs in this way in old age.
- A sharp decrease in immunity- when the body's natural protective barrier weakens, pathogenic bacteria, which are usually present in small amounts in the urethra and do not cause harm, begin to multiply, provoking an inflammatory process.
- Severe hypothermia- provokes the onset of the disease, as the cold leads to a decrease in local immunity and impaired blood circulation in the pelvic organs.
Regardless of what caused the disease, it should be treated immediately and in compliance with all the recommendations of the doctor.

The fact that the inflammatory process has begun to develop in the prostate gland is evidenced by the following symptoms:
