The second group consists of the so-called stagnant (congestive), prostatitis, the reason for that are the stagnation of liquid (secret) of the prostate and of the blood in the veins of this body. The development of these symptoms can occur, for example, if a sexual life. The venous stasis may occur during the long sedentary work in a sitting position (for example, drivers of automobiles, knowledge workers), when wearing a tight underwear, as well as the abuse of alcohol.
The factors development of prostatitis
In addition, the factors predisposing to the development of prostatitis, are the following: a reduction in the body's defenses, hormonal disorders, unhealed foci of infection, in which the germs penetrate the prostate, and contribute to inflammation.
The risk of prostatitis due to a decrease of immunity above, it is sick people, at the bottom of the nervous overload, chronic stress, smoking, and alcohol. All of these factors, or to facilitate the penetration of the infection to the prostate gland, or lead to a deterioration in the vascularity of the pelvic organs, in the process, which contributes to the growth of microorganisms and the development of the inflammatory process.
What happens?
Most often, prostate develops in the chronic form, for several years, without particular concern. This may occur also in severe pain, unpleasant sensations in the perineum, smack in the sacrum, genitals, or rectum. There is periodically a quick, painful, difficult urination, little urethral.
Unfortunately, most men at this stage, do not pay attention to these symptoms, but to no avail. The danger of chronic prostatitis is that its spread through the urinary system can lead to the development of cystitis and pyelonephritis.
In addition, the complications of prostatitis are vesiculitis — inflammation of the seminal vesicles, and orchiepididymitis — inflammation of the testicles and their appendages, and it is, ultimately, may lead to male infertility. In addition, the inflammatory process in the prostate gland, in the future, be the cause of the development adenoma of the prostate, or cancer of the prostate.

The drug therapy of the prostatitis is complemented by a massage of the prostate, reducing the stagnant effects, improves the blood circulation and the evacuation of the secretions of the gland. Unfortunately, modern medicine still can not solve the problem of the final cure of the prostatitis. The doctor is able to bring the disease up to the phase of remission (absence of symptoms) over two or three years. After which, the treatment should be repeated.
