  • Claybosella;
  • Fake stick;
  • Pathogens of sexually transmitted diseases (Chlamydia, Mycobacterium, Gonococcal, Trichomonas, Cytomegavirus, etc.).

Most microorganisms are in the intestine, on the skin, but, entering prostate tissue, they cause an inflammatory process.Usually, the cause of the disease is not a pathogen, but a connection between several types of microorganisms.

  • an erased orgasm;
  • Short sex;
  • The soreness of ejaculation.

Of all prostatitis, chronic abortion prostatitis is 95%, mainly suffering from men around 30 years of age.It is characterized by constant or periodic pain in the pelvis, prostate, scrotum, and in laboratory analysis there are no signs of inflammation.The cause of the disease is certainly not established.

diagnosis

In the diagnosis of acute and chronic prostatitis, in addition to collecting complaints, dissolution and examination of patients, the following methods are also used:

  • General blood and urine tests;
  • Microscopy examines the secrets of the prostate and sows them on nutrient medium to detect pathogens (secrets are obtained after prostate finger massage through rectal massage);
  • Urine cytology studies;
  • Ultrasound of the prostate and pelvic organs;
  • Computed tomography and nuclear magnetic resonance (MRI);
  • Thin urine from urethra smeared.

The differential diagnosis is intended to distinguish between prostatitis, prostate adenoma, prostate cancer, signs of stone in the prostate.
