How to keep your prostate healthy

When men are younger, they don’t even think about the prostate gland, but by middle age it can become a chronic problem. Inflammation of the prostate can cause physical, mental, and emotional distress. It will tend to keep you awake at night. Sure there are medical treatments, but there are also some things you can do in the privacy of your own home to help ensure prostate health.

Scientists are known to have found that men who have engaged in intense sexual activity with a variety of partners are more prone to infections as well as prostatitis. There are four main types of prostatitis: Acute bacterial prostatitis. Men with this condition often have fever, chills, pain in the lower back, genital area, burning with urination, frequent urination with infection present as shown by an increase in white blood cells in the urine. Chronic bacterial prostatitis presents with a urinary tract infection possibly caused by a structural imbalance. Antibiotics can be given, but often do not help. The defect must be identified for proper treatment to occur. Chronic prostatitis/pelvic pain syndrome can present as inflammatory or non-inflammatory, with symptoms or few. There may or may not be signs of infection in urine and semen. This particular prostate condition is often confusing to doctors and difficult to diagnose. In asymptomatic inflammatory prostatitis, patients usually do not complain of pain or discomfort, however, there is usually an increase in infectious cells in the semen.
