Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate (prostate). The prostate is an auxiliary part of the male reproductive organs. It is neatly arranged around the neck of the bladder, just below the body of this organ; the urethra, or urinary tube, passes through the prostate. Due to its location around the urethra, the prostate gland, when enlarged, more or less blocks the flow of urine.
Prostate enlargement is quite common in men over the age of 35. A large number of men over the age of 50 have more or less pronounced ulceration of the part of the gland adjacent to the urethra. Many of the diseases of older men are actually only a consequence of diseases of the genitourinary system, the main of which is inflammation of the prostate.
Obese men with a large belly and men who lead a sedentary lifestyle are more prone to prostate enlargement, as both disrupt blood circulation in the pelvic region; as a result, blood stagnation is formed, which can cause an enlarged prostate.
As the gland grows, the amount of urine retained increases, which poisons the body over time.
Prostatitis occurs due to the introduction of an infection, most often from the urethra when it is inflamed, especially with gonorrhea, urethritis, less often as a complication of common infections (tonsillitis, flu, tuberculosis). Predisposing factors - local hypothermia, especially sitting on a damp floor, sexual dysfunction - sexual excesses, sedentary lifestyle. Since the patient, as a rule, pays little attention to these aspects of life, the disease progresses.
The satisfactory treatment of prostatitis is not yet known. Operations to remove the gland or part of it, injections to reduce the gland in many cases are not satisfactory. It is necessary to eliminate the cause and, first of all, to change the way of life itself.
With all the skill of the surgeon, the operation is a slight relief. It does not exclude the causes of illness, does not restore health. Once enlarged, the prostate tends to enlarge again. Overeating, nervous excitement, overwork, sexual excesses… contribute to its rapid increase. 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 perineum, weakening of the pressure of the urine stream, pain in the rectum during defecation. At the stage of purulent inflammation, spontaneous opening of the abscess and discharge of pus from the urethra or rectum are possible. The treatment is carried out by a doctor. In some cases, surgery is necessary. Untimely access to a doctor can lead to serious consequences - the spread of infection to surrounding organs and tissues, the occurrence of sepsis (blood poisoning), the transition of the disease to a chronic form, which can lead tosignificant dysfunction of the genitals - impotence, infertility.
Chronic prostatitis is characterized by a long course with periods of exacerbation and apparent recovery; is manifested by a burning sensation in the urethra, in the perineum, scanty discharge from the urethra at the end of the act of urination or defecation, increased fatigue, irritability. Avoid spicy foods and alcoholic beverages. During an exacerbation of prostatitis, sexual activity is excluded.

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