Prostatitis is the "scourge" of the male half of humanity.<1_img_leftxx>The age of the disease decreases annually. A few decades ago, a disorder of genitourinary function was diagnosed only in mature men. Now that prostatitis has become younger, even 20-year-old boys and teenagers are not immune from it.
The difference between prostatitis and prostate adenoma
What is the difference between prostatitis and prostate adenoma? If in the first case we are talking about inflammation, in the second - about the tumor growth process. In terms of clinical manifestations, chronic prostatitis is very difficult to distinguish from an adenoma, which is why it is so important not to start the disease, but to get an examination done as soon as possible.
Types of prostatitis
Several factors cause prostatitis:
bacterial - sexually transmitted and genital infection pathogens, Escherichia coli;
abacterial - deformation of muscle tissue due to sedentary lifestyle and work, stress.
Acute and chronic prostatitis are forms of the disease that differ in clinical presentation and consequences.
disease symptoms
One of the criteria for differentiating the disease is the age of the man. Prostate adenoma practically does not occur in people under 45 years of age. Prostatitis is diagnosed at 15, 25 and 40 years.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Prostatitis
No need to guess and wait at random. Prostatitis can be detected quickly and almost painlessly. A man needs to urinate and prostate secretions for bacterial culture, ultrasound or TRUS.
Regardless of the type of prostatitis detected - bacterial or abacterial - antibiotics are prescribed: amoxicillin, ceftriaxone, levofloxacin. This is not a universal set, preparations are selected according to individual indications and always in combination with a complex of medications and procedures to alleviate the symptoms of inflammation and immune support.
diagnosis and treatment of prostate adenoma
If adenoma is suspected, in addition to standard studies, CT or MRI may be prescribed. If the PSA test is bad, a biopsy will be done.
For the treatment of prostate adenoma, 2 groups of drugs are used: to suppress tumor growth and to facilitate urination. You can try medications that solve these two problems at the same time. The preparations "Palm Creep Fruit Extract", "Prostate Extract", as a stand-alone remedy, are ineffective.
Prevention
To prevent prostatitis, follow some simple rules:
treat colds;
lead an active lifestyle;
give up on bad habits.
Regular sex is a great way to "escape" from prostatitis and adenoma, but it's not a reason to forget about safety.
