Inflammation of the prostate in medicine is called prostatitis. The cause is a frequent violation of blood microcirculation in the pelvic area. The development of such a disease with an infectious process in the prostate tissues is not excluded. The disease not only worsens the quality of life of a man, but also leads to serious complications in the reproductive system. The chronicity of the pathology is also an unpleasant consequence. Treating prostatitis at home with natural remedies is a treatment option for men.
What is prostatitis
The disease is inflammation of the prostate as a result of negative external or internal factors. The bacterial form of prostatitis is more common. It is caused by a pathogenic bacterium that enters the prostate from the rectum, bladder and urethra. The disease is acute and chronic in nature. The latter form has less pronounced symptoms.
