One of the important organs of men is the prostate gland.
The prostate sits on top of the bladder and induces the production of sperm secretion.
Prostatitis has become younger in our time, as it appears suddenly in men, not only after 30 years, but also in men aged 20-25 years.
Therefore, if the appearance of alarming symptoms characteristic of prostatitis, should be examined by a doctor.
The symptoms of prostatitis vary depending on the form and stage of the disease.
Symptoms of acute prostatitis appear
- general weakness of the body against the background of chills and fever;
- painful urination with incisions;
- severe headache, rupture or pain in the perineum radiating to the penis (head), scrotum, thighs, anus, lumbosacral area and pubis;
- increased urinary incontinence;
- the presence of purulent discharge and blood in the urine;
- potential violations and erections;
- male infertility.
The form of the disease depends on the nature of the pain. With non -infectious chronic prostatitis, persistent pain persists in different places.
Symptoms of non -infectious prostatitis appear
- painful urination with a burning sensation at the end;
- painful scrotal condition when touched;
- frequent urination;
- sphincter tension.
Infectious prostatitis, including the chronic stage, especially with untreated venereal disease, is characterized by an exploding burning pain that subsides with the use of antibiotic therapy.
Symptoms of infectious prostatitis are:
- decreased sexual activity, intercourse time and premature ejaculation;
- increased difficulty urinating and defecating with secretions from the prostate gland;
- general weakness, including drowsiness and chills.
With late treatment, there is a possibility of the onset of sepsis, chronic prostatitis, including prostate abscess, sexual dysfunction and psychoemotional disorders.
Ignoring the symptoms of acute prostatitis leads to chronic disease. When an infection is introduced into the inflammatory process, especially in sexually transmitted diseases, the excretory tract becomes inflamed through the back of the urethra, and antiperistalsis occurs, which will allow bacteria to enter the gland freely.
In addition, the infection is carried to the prostate in diseases such as colitis, paraproctitis, cracks in the posterior ducts and through the lymphatic and bloodstream systems.
After the first symptoms of weak acute prostatitis, with deposition and accumulation of pathogenic microorganisms, the acute phase turns into chronic prostatitis with temporary remission and acute stage.
Symptoms of chronic bacterial prostatitis appear
- some decrease in sexual activity;
- increase or decrease in the duration of intercourse;
- the possibility of premature ejaculation at the beginning of sexual intercourse;
- slight difficulty during urination and defecation;
- periodic discomfort and burning sensation in the groin, urethra and perineum;
- secretions from the prostate gland;
- general weakness of the body, including drowsiness.
When there are alarming symptoms, every man should visit a urologist to review laboratory tests, prescribe adequate treatment and consultation.
The most alarming signal for suspected prostatitis is
- pain of cutting character, pulling, pressing and breaking in the perineum, under the pubis, in the area of the scrotum and urethra;
- urinary problems: frequent urination with little urine;
- problematic intercourse, in which sperm volume decreases during ejaculation, orgasmic sensations become weak (they become dim and short), erectile function is impaired, male infertility occurs due to poor ejaculatory production, sperm melts with pus from the prostate gland.
