Inflammation of the Prostate> is a disease that mainly affects men between the ages of twenty-fifty-five. The older the man, the greater the risk of prostatitis.
With initial prostatitis, glandular functions are activated. Along with the onset of inflammation, tissue regeneration occurs.
Let's take a closer look at the first signs of prostatitis in men and treatment.
How to know?
The onset of prostatitis is rarely recognized without a doubt, as it is sometimes asymptomatic and its symptoms are individual to each patient and vary over time.
These features include:
- A man has little difficulty passing urine into the toilet. The gland gradually enlarges, the urinary tract shrinks.
- The patient loses interest in sex. Difficulties with waking up the penis increase when trying to have sexual contact. Orgasm is achieved with difficulty, or weak, or disappears completely.
- Burning in the urethra, itching in the perineum.
- I often want to urinate, but it comes out point by point.
- Sperm comes out quickly during intercourse with minimal pleasure.
- General fatigue, depression, nervousness, aggression, anxiety increase.
A man experiences weakness, his ability to work decreases.
Noise in my ears, banging on my head.
In the morning, a person feels overwhelmed, loses initiative in life.
At the same time, at night, sometimes prolonged erections and painful ejaculation occur spontaneously, not accompanied by sexual intercourse.
By observing these phenomena, the patient calms down, believing that he is well with potency, the problems, according to him, are related to the partner, their relationship. He is caught by depression, which exacerbates the development of the disease.
The first signs of prostatitis in a man
There is a certain difficulty for the doctor and the patient to associate these symptoms with prostate disease. They can be caused by the stress experienced (especially if there are reasons), with a conflict in personal life.
They are more confidently associated with initial prostatitis if other symptoms follow:
- The patient experiences pain in the groin, balls, perineum, lower back. With prostate, frequent urination, especially at night, this process is increasingly painful, the result of attempts to empty the bladder is becoming less important.
- The discharge of mucus from the urethra begins.
Symptoms of the first prostate slowly build up over a year, two, three. Worst of all, they have the character of a chain reaction: due to the increase of negative phenomena in the prostate gland, a man not only does not find pleasure in himself, but also is unable to satisfy his sexual partner.
Because of this, sexual intercourse is becoming less frequent, which causes stagnation of blood circulation in the pelvic area. Such stagnation, on the other hand, is one of the causes of prostatitis.
Acute prostatitis differs in symptomatology from chronic.
Its attributes:
- Temperature for no apparent reason sometimes rises to 38-39 degrees, with parenchymal prostate - up to 40 ° C.
- The suspicion reaches the point where it is unable to urinate.
- Perineal pain becomes particularly severe.
- The patient suffers from chills, he experiences nausea before vomiting.
- I have defecation problems.
What do I do?
In chronic inflammation, the pain is mild, arises and subsides periodically in the perineum, is given in the lower back, pubis. Excessive sweating, especially in the perineum.
Sexual dysfunction becomes permanent. Instead of urine for the prostate in the morning, the prostate is secreted. The pain is mainly painful, spreads to the sacrum, suprapubic, rectum, penis.
The rate of development of sexual disorders depends on the degree of involvement in the pathology process of the seminal tubercle, the seminal vesicles located near the prostate. With a long course of the initial stage of prostatitis in men, the intensity of sex hormone production decreases.
Young men often panic and are afraid of sex. Fear of "shame", failure to perform the necessary actions with a partner leads to neurosis, which further worsens sexual function.
Sexual dysfunction occurs when there is an excess of female hormones in a man's body, lack of male hormones. They may also be due to latent asymptomatic inflammation of the prostate, not previously identified. Their development sometimes leads to male infertility.
If you find the first signs of prostatitis, what to do? When these signs appear, you should schedule an appointment with a urologist, who will send the patient for tests, based on their results, to diagnose (or not) the disease, its type.
Identifying the etiology of prostatitis: bacterial or not is also of great importance for the choice of treatment method. Treating non-infectious prostatitis with antibiotics, for example, is not only useless but also very harmful to the body.
First aid for prostatitis will be provided by a doctor. It aims to restore normal urination with the prostate. To do this, it is necessary to urgently reduce the size of the prostate gland, which compresses the urethral canal and does not allow urine to escape.
Gland muscle relaxation can be achieved, for example, by prostate massage.
Prostate massage is a procedure that requires special qualifications of a masseur.
His execution by an amateur is fraught with serious complications, irreversible damage to internal organs.
For the treatment of bacterial prostatitis, a course of antibiotics, rectal suppositories, is prescribed. It should be understood that harmful microorganisms can not be eradicated by folk remedies, physical exercises, physical procedures and diet.
These methods will either promote healing or be necessary during forgiveness.
At the same time, for the treatment of bacterial prostatitis, their combination may be sufficient for a complete cure without "chemistry", ie pharmacy drugs. It all depends on the stage of the disease, the individual characteristics of the patient's body, the experience of the doctor.
If the disease has left the stage of deterioration, there is no more infection, the patient should recover as soon as possible:
- start a regular sex life as soon as possible;
- eliminate bad habits. Eat a diet for prostate patients;
- move more, do sports. Perform special exercises for men.
What other diseases exist with these symptoms?
The symptoms described do not necessarily indicate that the disease is prostatitis. They also accompany kidney disease, urethral infections, venereal disease and other ailments.
Urethritis is the most common male disease. This is an infection in the urethra caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi. They are infected mainly through sexual contact.
Sometimes an infection waits for an appropriate hour in the body and appears when the immune system is weakened. The reasons for its decline are the same ones that cause non-bacterial prostate: hypothermia, bad habits, chaotic sexual behavior, abuse of acidic, spicy, salty foods, stress, physical activity.
What is inflamed exactly: prostate or urethra (or both), will be shown by tests, ultrasound examination. Based on the doctor will give a diagnosis.
Now you know about the first symptoms of prostatitis in men and its treatment. As with any disease, the sooner prostatitis is detected, the sooner you will cure it.
Neglecting the first signs of prostatitis and treatment brings worthless patients to the surgeon's desk. Better to take action in a timely manner.
