Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate (prostate). The prostate is an accessory part of the male reproductive organs. It is neatly around the neck of the bladder, just below the body of the organ; the urethra or urethra passes through the prostate. Due to its location around the urethra, the prostate gland blocks the flow of urine to a greater or lesser extent in case of enlargement.
Prostate enlargement is quite common in men over the age of 35. In many men over 50, more or less pronounced ulceration of the gland near the urethra. Most of the diseases of older men are actually just the result of diseases of the urinary system, the primary cause of which is inflammation of the prostate.
Obese men with large bellies and men with a sedentary lifestyle are more prone to prostate enlargement, as both disrupt blood circulation in the pelvic region; as a result, blood stagnates, which can cause prostate enlargement.
As the gland grows, the amount of retained urine increases, which over time poisons the body.
Prostatitis occurs due to the entry of an infection, most often from the urethra, if it is inflamed, especially in the case of gonorrhea, urethritis, less often as a complication of common infections (tonsillitis, influenza, tuberculosis). Predisposing factors - local hypothermia, sitting on particularly wet ground, sexual dysfunction - sexual excess, sedentary lifestyle. Since the patient usually pays little attention to these aspects of life, the disease progresses.
A satisfactory treatment for prostatitis is not yet known. Operations aimed at removing the gland or a part of it, and injections aimed at reducing the gland, are not satisfactory in many cases. The cause must be eliminated and, above all, the lifestyle itself must be changed.
With all the skill of the surgeon, the operation is a slight relief. It does not eliminate the causes of the disease, it does not restore health. After enlargement, the prostate enlarges again. Overeating, nervous excitement, work overload, sexual excesses, etc. contribute to its rapid growth. . Tea, coffee, tobacco, alcohol and other stimulants have the same effect.
Acute and chronic prostatitis, symptoms
Symptoms of acute prostatitis, fever, frequent urination with pain, burning of the barrier, weakening of the pressure of the urinary stream, pain in the rectum during defecation. In the stage of purulent inflammation, spontaneous opening of the abscess and outflow of pus from the urethra or rectum is possible. The treatment is carried out by a doctor. In some cases, surgery is required. Untimely access to a doctor can lead to serious consequences - the spread of the infection to the surrounding organs and tissues, sepsis (blood poisoning), the transition of the disease to a chronic form, which can cause significant dysfunction of the genitals - impotence, infertility.
Chronic prostatitis is characterized by a long course, with periods of exacerbation and apparent recovery; manifested as burning in the urethra, perineum, little flow from the urethra at the end of urination or defecation, increased fatigue, irritability. Avoid spicy foods and alcoholic beverages. During the exacerbation of prostatitis, sexual activity is excluded.

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