Calculous prostatitis in men: what is it
Stone prostatitis is a complication of chronic inflammation of the prostate, which consists of the formation of stones (stones) in the excretory ducts of the prostate. The peak of this pathology falls in 30-39 years. This is associated with an increase in cases of chronic prostatitis, which develops against the background of sexually transmitted diseases.
In men aged 40-59 years, the occurrence of this pathology may be associated with prostate adenoma (growth of glandular tissue in the prostate), and in people over 60 years, with the extinction of sexual function. Depending on the cause of the formation, the stones are either true (primary) or false (secondary). The primary ones are formed in the ducts of the gland and the secondary ones pass to the prostate from the upper urinary tract (kidneys, bladder and urethra) if the patient has urolithiasis.
Calculus prostatitis is caused by inflammation in the prostate. Violation of the emptying of the prostate glands occurs due to irregularity or lack of sexual intercourse, as well as a sedentary lifestyle. Against the background of an infection, stones form in a person, because of this, the secretion in the prostate becomes stagnant.
Furthermore, the development of this disease leads to an abnormal reflux of a small amount of urine from the urethra into the ducts of the prostate gland during the emission of urine. Because of this, the salts in the urine crystallize, thicken, and turn into stones. Prostate stones are chemically the same as bladder stones:
- oxalate (appears due to the formation of salts of oxalic acid);
- phosphate (formed against the background of a violation of phosphoric acid synthesis);
- urate (uric acid salts are formed).
