Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland (prostate gland). The prostate gland is an auxiliary part of the male reproductive organs. It is neatly attached to the neck of the bladder, just below the body of that organ; the urethra or urethra passes through the prostate. Due to its location around the urethra, when the prostate gland enlarges, it more or less blocks the flow of urine.
Prostate enlargement is quite common in men over the age of 35. Many men over the age of 50 have more or less noticeable ulcers in the part of the gland adjacent to the urethra. Many diseases of older men are actually only the result of diseases of the genitourinary system, the first of which is inflammation of the prostate gland.
Obese men with large bellies and men with a sedentary lifestyle are more prone to prostate enlargement, as both impair blood circulation in the pelvic region; resulting in blood stagnation, which can lead to prostate enlargement.
As the gland grows, the amount of urine stored increases, which over time poisons the body.
Prostatitis occurs due to the introduction of an infection, most often from the urethra during inflammation, especially with gonorrhea, urethritis, less often as a complication of common infections (tonsillitis, influenza, tuberculosis). Predisposing factors - local hypothermia, sitting in a particularly damp place, sexual dysfunction - sexual excess, sedentary lifestyle. As a rule, the patient pays little attention to these aspects of life, so the disease progresses.
A satisfactory treatment for prostatitis is not yet known. Operations to remove the gland or part of it, injections to reduce the gland are not satisfactory in many cases. It is necessary to eliminate the cause and first of all to change the lifestyle.
With all the skill of the surgeon, the operation gives little relief. It does not exclude the causes of the disease, it does not restore health. After growth, the prostate tends to grow again. Its rapid increase can be caused by overeating, nervous excitement, overwork at work, excessive sex, etc. helps. Tea, coffee, tobacco, alcohol and other stimulants have the same effect.
Acute and chronic prostatitis, symptoms
Symptoms of acute prostatitis include fever, frequent urination with pain, burning of the perineum, weakening of the pressure of urine flow, pain in the rectum during defecation. In the stage of purulent inflammation, spontaneous opening of the abscess and pus discharge from the urethra or rectum is possible. Treatment is carried out by a doctor. In some cases, surgical intervention is required. Failure to consult a doctor on time can lead to serious consequences - the spread of infection to surrounding organs and tissues, sepsis (blood poisoning), the transition of the disease to a chronic form, significant disruption of the functions of the genital organs - impotence, infertility.
Chronic prostatitis is characterized by a long course with periods of exacerbation and clear recovery; It is manifested by burning in the urethra, perineum, a small amount of discharge from the urethra at the end of the act of urination or defecation, increased fatigue, irritation. Avoid spicy food and alcohol. During exacerbation of prostatitis, sexual activity is excluded.

The constant use of animal protein overloads the kidneys and other excretory organs, as a result, less and less uric acid is excreted from the body and, accordingly, most of it is absorbed by the muscles. This condition is one of the causes of prostate disease. In this case, asparagus juice along with carrot, beet and cucumber juices helps well.
