Prostatitis is quite common condition among men (women, this disease is not threatened by the prostate is a gland exclusively male body of the genitourinary system). Only one of the five representatives of the stronger sex, even once in the life faced with a similar problem.
Prostatitis is a male disease of the area urogenital, an attribute mandatory, which is an inflammatory process that is localized in the gland of the prostate.
Prostatitis is so widespread today that almost one hundred percent of the confidence of the patient in different degrees, can be considered every man who crosses the threshold of 45 years.
Why in this age aktiviziruyutsya problems with men's health?
In reality it begins much earlier, the modern pace of life, saturated with stress, inactive lifestyle, working in the office in front of the computer, poor diet, regular alcohol consumption and sexual relations, with frequent changes of partners without using contraception and is the most factors, which gradually leads to the inflammation of the prostate.
The symptoms of prostatitis, which first caught the attention of a man are usually the following:
- At the beginning of the disease, when the prostate only began to increase in volume, only slightly compresses the ureter, that surrounds it like a ring on your finger. So, one of the first symptoms of prostatitis would be considered as a small narrowing of the ureter, and, in consequence, a certain obstruction to the passage of the urine, difficulty urinating.
- The result of the problem is frequent urination. First, the expression does not cause fear, man, never questus for that reason, at night, may present themselves to empty the bladder once or twice in the night and chalk it up to an extra Cup of tea for dinner. But, with time, the intervals between urination will be greatly reduced.
- The presence of pain in the abdomen is one of the first symptoms of prostatitis. Can be a different feeling, pulling, pressing, explosion, concerned they are usually in the afternoon or after any of the power loads.
- Minor disorders of erection and premature ejaculation, of course, take any man and his partner, a certain amount of concern, but it is equally blamed on fatigue and stress.
Please, keep in mind
So insignificant at first glance, disorders of the male system, urogenital, without due attention, from both the patient and the physician, will surely result in big problems, that prostatitis chronic.
Inflammation of the gland of the prostate can be acute, bacterial form and, in the case of a functioning disease, is complicated in the chronic form.
The symptoms of prostatitis in the acute phase of bacterial forms:
- A high body temperature for a long time located near 39 degrees.
- Chills.
- General weakness, body aches, painful condition.
- Headaches.
- Nausea, in severe cases reaching to the recurrent vomiting.
- Severe pain in the perineum, lower abdomen, and periodically at the bottom of the back and the testicles. The pain is often worse when the stool, as well during bowel movements can appear mucous discharge from the urethra.
- When digital rectal prostate examination by a doctor examination can be identified the increase in the volume of the prostate, change its structure, often palpated various formations and scars.
- Frequent, difficult, painful urination. Due to the fact that a swelling of the prostate too hard to press the urethra, the man has to strain to start the urination, for the same reason, and in some cases the bladder is not completely empty, that does not bring the desired relief after visiting the toilet.
- Acute pain during ejaculation.
If it is not of prostatitis in this stage, it is guaranteed to develop in the chronic stage.
Prostatitis chronic is divided into three main types:
- Chronic infectious prostatitis.
- Chronic non-infectious prostatitis.
- Chronic asymptomatic prostatitis.
The symptoms of prostatitis in its asymptomatic form, as can be gathered from the name, are not available, the patient complains of nothing, is absolutely the same style of life, as usual.
It is found in most cases by accident, in the taking of blood tests and the research of the increase of the amount of white blood cells, or bacteria, or to take a biopsy of the prostate.
In some cases the inflammation of the prostate is detected during open surgical procedures in the area of the gland of the prostate, or when the surgery on her.
The symptoms of prostatitis when it is chronic non-bacterial form:
- Abacterial prostatitis has another name, i.e., "chronic pelvic pain syndrome". Pain frequent, repetitive, but varied, both in smaller and in a big way. The location of the pain is intermittent, it can be very prostate, the perineum and the pain in the tailbone, testicles, the male sexual organs. During defecation pain are concentrated in the anus and rectum. The increase in the intensity of the pain occurs even at low loads.
- Disorders of sexual desire, decreased libido, erection unstable, periodically disappearing in the process of copulation, as well as the principles of the ejaculation. To avoid the deterioration of the situation, it is recommended to consult immediately with a physician, with timely treatment, there is a high probability of full recovery of sexual soundness of men.
- Violation of urination. The need of emptying the bladder is quite common, but completely empty doesn't always work — you have to make the effort. The stream of urine becomes much thinner, this is due to the presence of primary sclerosing changes of the ureter in the area of the prostate.
- Depression, mild or severe depression, lethargy, insomnia, or, conversely, drowsiness, and none of the anger — is possible, the manifestations of psychological disorders in men suffering from prostatitis.
The symptoms of prostatitis in its chronic infectious form:
- Pain syndrome , in this case, it depends entirely on the degree of aggravation of the disease in a given time. With the peak of the concentrations of bacteria, dull pain, persistent and continuous, localized in a groin, scrotum, lower abdomen, worse in the sitting position (especially when on a hard surface), urination, defecation and ejaculation.
- During remission, a period of weakening or the disappearance of the other symptoms of prostatitis in its chronic bacterial form, violation of urination, but the tension when you try to empty the bladder and the inability to do fully this is the only symptom that remains with a man in this disease. At the time of the aggravation is often a man completely deprived of the ability to urinate, as the prostate is just inflamed blocks the passage of urine in the urethra or urine flows drop by drop, literally.
- The feeling of stretching and pain in the bladder also often accompany the disease in the acute phase. The stagnation of urine favors the development of infections and the formation of salt microcrystals, damage the mucosa of the wall of the bladder. The urination in the urine are observed filaments and flakes are white in color.
- Often there is prolonged erection during sleep, but at the time of the sexual intercourse, she often becomes so that to complete sexual intercourse is not any way. If this occurs, you may experience acute pain during or immediately after orgasm, and the ejaculate can be seen, the impurities of the blood.
- In the midst of all these symptoms, especially during acute men are often subjected to psycho-emotional disorders of varying severity. In the majority of cases they are depressed, apathetic, diffident, and their thoughts are the complexity of the treatment, and the fatigue of constant pain. This marked irritability, and even aggressive when afficiens issues related to the health of the patient.
- The patients presented a complete picture of the General management of poisoning: tiredness, weakness, headache, reduction of immunity, the patients often refuse to eat and always want to sit or stretch out.
In a clinical exacerbation of prostatitis may be cases of reaction acute the inflammatory process in the gland of the prostate, without accurate diagnosis and proper, timely and adequate treatment, leading to such complications as blood poisoning and even in the local sphere of suppuration in the body of the prostate.
For this reason, when the first signs of discomfort, it is recommended to immediately contact a urologist and not to self-appoint themselves to all kinds of drugs traditional, candles, pills and other medications, after having read the comments on the Internet. Treatment at home is possible only after the consultation with a specialist, the price of the issue is your health.
The symptoms of prostatitis — what to pay attention?
Symptoms of many diseases are similar, for example, the urination disorder can be as prostatitis and adenoma of prostate. Signs of any disease, more specifically characterized, as it belongs only to him, avoiding vague language.
Common symptoms of prostatitis have their own characteristics in each specific phase of the disease. For example, when you run the acute form of the inflammation of the prostate in this glandular-muscular organ can develop not only the inflammation purulent, but also to form apostema of the cavity. Often this state is accompanied by quite high, not to decrease the temperature, mulligrubs' in the lower part of the abdomen, suprapubic region, perineum, and upper thighs. Frequent need to urinate, but the flow of urine is very limited, because the urethra was squeezed by the gland of the prostate to such an extent that, in some cases, only medical intervention can help in emptying the bladder.
These symptoms of prostatitis the most common for people who are at risk: patients with very reduced immunity, patients with drug and alcohol abuse, cancer patients.
The majority of men, the swelling of the prostate does not manifest itself explicitly. It is in the hidden state, the symptoms of prostatitis spend only a few mild disorders: frequent urination, occasional discharge from the urethra, burning and itching in the ureter, reduction of the power, the decline in sperm quality and, consequently, the impossibility of conceiving, as well as pain in the pubic area, perineum, and genital organs.
If you don't pay attention to these symptoms of prostatitis, can result in several negative consequences, for example, significant change in the body of the prostate, until the need for surgical intervention.
