Inflammation of the prostate occurs in different forms and reaches different stages. Calculating prostatitis is a type of disease characterized by the formation of stones in the prostate with subsequent harmful consequences.
What is this disease?
Calculated prostatitis refers to a very rare form of prostate problems. It develops in the context of chronic inflammation and other diseases. It is accompanied by a deterioration in visual acuity, problems with urination, pain in the perineum and lower abdomen.
There are two types of disease:
- True- stones are formed directly in the prostate and are formed from calcium, phosphoric acid salts;
- False- clusters enter the prostate of other organs and are obtained from urea salts.
Entities vary in size and number. Prostate stones are also classified into 2 types:
- Endogenous- obtained in chronic prostatitis, as a complication, increases the probability of stagnation processes;
- Exogenous- occurs as a result of untreated diseases of the genitourinary system, often preventing the excretion of urine.
The main danger of chronic calculous prostatitis is the rapid deterioration of man's general health, the development of complications, the appearance of new inflammations in other systems and organs.
Reasons
Prostate stones are formed for the following reasons: stagnation of prostatic secretion and penetration of urine into the organ.
The first occurrence is called:
- Acute or chronic prostatitis;
- Adenoma;
- Cancer.
An abnormality, such as urine entering the prostate ducts, is caused by the following factors:
- Regular inflammation of the urinary system;
- Injuries to the genitals;
- Surgical intervention;
- Stones in the bladder and kidneys;
- Bladder catheterization.
Predisposition to calculus diseases is also due to several prerequisites:
- Neglect of regular hygiene procedures;
- Bad habits;
- Irregular intimate life, rare sexual contacts;
- Immune system function decreased;
- Constant exposure to stress;
- Impact of negative environmental factors;
- Sedentary lifestyle;
- Abuse of unhealthy foods;
- Hormonal insufficiency;
- Exposure to chronic constipation.
Diagnosis: symptoms and signs in men
The signs of calculous prostatitis are expressed in:
- Pain in the groin and lower abdomen, extending to the lower back, pelvis, scrotum;
- Urine excretion disorder, accompanied by pain syndrome, frequent need, feeling of constant fullness of the bladder;
- The presence of blood impurities in semen or urine;
- Pain after emptying the bladder or intestines, sexual intercourse, physical activity;
- Erectile dysfunction.
In the absence of proper treatment, additional symptoms appear after 1-2 months:
- Increased irritability;
- Fast fatigue;
- Sleep disorder;
- General weakness;
- Severe headaches;
- Increase in temperature.
To identify calculous prostatitis, you need to see a doctor. After the initial examination and collection of the anamnesis, the urologist is assigned:
- Blood and urine tests, including microflora culture;
- Monitoring the urinary excretion regime (urofluxometry);
- Study of prostatic secretion;
- Detection of prostate specific antigen;
- Ultrasound diagnosis of the pelvic organs and prostate;
- Meares test.
How to treat calculous prostatitis, what to do?
Dealing with stones requires an integrated approach. Treatment of calculous prostatitis includes the use of medications and support with folk remedies. The effect on the prostate with the laser and some physiotherapy techniques is also shown to be effective.
Preparations
The drugs of choice for the treatment of calculous prostatitis are antibiotics. Specific drugs or injections are prescribed depending on the test results.
The following categories of antibacterial drugs are most commonly recommended:
- Penicillins;
- Fluoroquinolones are considered to be the most effective. For use, it is necessary to exclude tuberculosis of the prostate;
- Tetracyclines - cause side effects;
- Cephalosporins - indicated in cases where intramuscular injections are required.
In addition, biologically active additives are included in the treatment of calculus pathology, which has a complex effect on prostate tissues, activates blood flow, improves cell regeneration, prevents impotence and prevents complications.
The therapy schedule also includes:
- Medicines for pain relief;
- Medicines that suppress inflammation and reduce swelling;
- Vitamin complexes;
- Preparations to improve blood circulation;
- Medicines that strengthen the immune system.
Is it possible to massage for calculous prostatitis?
Many forms of prostatitis are treated effectively with direct massage of the gland, however, in the calculating form, this effect is categorically excluded. It is possible to resort to the sessions only after removing the stones (and even then, only as prescribed by the doctor).
IMPORTANT:Some urologists in their work point to a direct connection between the functioning of the prostate and the normal activity of the spine. Thus, a massage on the spine and a special effect on biological points can be offered as an additional treatment.
The following areas of the body are dented during the procedure:
- Feet - the venous blood flow from the pelvic organs is activated and the pain decreases;
- Pelvis - facilitates defecation and urination processes;
- Buttocks - reduces sperm congestion;
- Loin - prostate function is stabilized.
Folk remedies for calculous prostatitis: the most effective

Laser
Laser therapy is a relatively new technique that cures chronic calculous prostatitis. The technology is most widely used in clinics in Israel. The method consists of introducing into the body an instrument called a fiber-optic probe. Due to the beam's fineness, the stones are destroyed on time, healthy tissues are not affected.
The concretions are crushed into smaller parts and gradually excreted from the body in the form of sand together with urine. Doctors insist that this method must be combined with drug treatment.
The duration of a session is usually between ten and fifteen minutes. To completely remove and remove the prostate stones, it takes six to ten sessions, depending on the severity of the condition.
Additional techniques
Indicated for calculous prostatitis and physiotherapy procedures. Shock wave therapy (SWT) is a technique that allows you to crush stones effectively.
The mechanism of action of shock wave therapy is the effect of inaudible acoustic impulses to a person in the prostate. They are recreated using special equipment. The waves easily pass through healthy tissues, affecting pathological seals.
The following manipulations are also useful for treatment:
- Ultrasound - reduces pain, suppresses inflammation;
- Magnetic therapy - eliminates swelling and improves blood flow;
- Treatment with low frequency current - gives analgesic effect, increases gland tone, normalizes blood microcirculation;
- Hydrogen sulfide baths - indicated for significant circulatory disorders;
- Sludge and peat application - stimulates tissue healing.
If all else fails, an operation is assigned. In the process, part of the prostate is removed along with the stones. It refers to radical methods.
