One of the vital organs of men is the prostate gland.
The prostate sits above the bladder and promotes the production of sperm.
Nowadays, prostatitis is younger because it appears suddenly in men, not only after 30 years, but also in boys aged 20-25.
Therefore, if you experience anxious symptoms characteristic of prostatitis, it is necessary to 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 cutting;
- persistent pain, cracks or cutting pains in the perineum radiating to the penis (head), scrotum, thigh, anus, lumbosacral region and pubis;
- increasing urinary incontinence;
- the presence of purulent discharge and blood in the urine;
- impaired potency and erection;
- male infertility.
The form of the disease depends on the nature of the pain. In non-infectious chronic prostatitis, constant pain constantly appears in different places.
The symptoms of non-infectious prostatitis appear
- painful urination with a burning sensation at the end;
- painful condition of the scrotum to the touch;
- frequent urge to urinate;
- sphincter tension.
Infectious prostatitis, including the chronic stage, especially in untreated sexually transmitted diseases, is characterized by erupting burning pains that subside with the use of antibiotic therapy.
The symptoms of infectious prostatitis are:
- reduction of sexual activity, intercourse time and premature ejaculation;
- increasing difficulty urinating and defecating with prostate secretions;
- general weakness, including drowsiness and chills.
With late treatment, sepsis, chronic prostatitis, including prostate abscess, sexual disorders, and psychoemotional disorders may develop.
Ignoring the symptoms of acute prostatitis leads to chronic disease. When an infection enters the inflammatory process, especially in sexually transmitted diseases, the secretory ducts become inflamed through the back of the urethra and antiperistalsis occurs, which will allow the bacteria to penetrate the gland freely.
In addition, the infection is transmitted to the prostate in diseases such as colitis, paraproctitis, cracks in the posterior canal and through the lymphatic system and blood flow.
After the weak first symptoms of acute prostatitis, with sedimentation and accumulation of pathogenic microorganisms, the acute phase turns into chronic prostatitis with temporary remission and acute stages.
The symptoms of chronic bacterial prostatitis appear
- some reduction in sexual activity;
- increase or decrease the duration of sexual intercourse;
- possible premature ejaculation at the very beginning of sexual intercourse;
- slight difficulty urinating and passing stools;
- periodic discomfort and burning sensation in the groin, urethra and perineum;
- secretion from the prostate gland;
- general weakness of the body, including drowsiness.
When anxiety symptoms occur, every man should visit a urologist to study laboratory tests, prescribe an adequate course of treatment and consultation.
The most alarming signs of suspected prostatitis are
- pain with a cutting, pulling, pressing and cracking character in the perineum, under the pubis, in the area of the scrotum and urethra;
- problematic urination: frequent urination with a small amount of urine;
- problematic intercourse in which the amount of sperm decreases during ejaculation, the sensations of orgasm are weakened (become weak and short), erectile function is impaired, male infertility occurs due to poor production of ejaculate, liquid sperm with pus from the prostate gland.
