Prostatitis is the most common male disease, and it is very insidious.Prostatitis often develops into a chronic form precisely because its first symptoms remain unnoticed.They can be expressed to varying degrees, appear alone or several at once.One thing is important: you need to know them in order to recognize and consult a doctor in time.
Symptoms of acute prostatitis
In most cases, the clinical picture of acute prostatitis is very similar.Of course, there may be individual characteristics, but they do not prevent an experienced doctor from accurately recognize the enemy.Signs are customary to divide into groups:
General manifestations
- The rise in temperature, most often significant.
- Decay: weakness, malaise, fatigue, decrease in the level of physical activity.As a result, a decrease in performance.
- Laboratory indicators: The results of blood and urine tests signal the presence of an inflammatory process.
The totality of these features is not unique for prostatitis - this is how inflammatory diseases of other small pelvis can manifest.The picture becomes much more clearly with the appearance of local symptoms.
Local symptoms
- Discomfort in the groin.It appears with physical or sexual activity, after a while at rest.Discomfort manifests itself in the form of itching, burning, feelings of bursting in the groin or in the urethra.
- Pain in the perineum, groin, testicles.The discomfort quickly develops in the pain syndrome.Its intensity is proportional to the intensity of the inflammatory process and may even indicate what infection the cause of prostatitis is.
- Mucous discharge.Transparent or whitish, appear at the initial stage.Testify to pronounced inflammation.
- An admixture of blood.Most often found in the form of hematospermia - staining ejaculate by blood or at the end of urination.Sometimes spontaneous mucous secretions with an admixture of blood are possible.
- Constipation.Due to the anatomical proximity, inflammation of the prostate gland also affects the gastrointestinal tract.
- Difficult urination.It is originally manifested by incomplete emptying of the bladder and the need to push.Next, there is a weakness of the urinary stream, which can develop into the impossibility of independent urination when filled with bladder.
Intimate disorders
Often it is precisely the problems in the intimate sphere that are the most painful for men.Progressive prostatitis gradually provokes a decrease in sexual activity, weakens libido.Psychological problems join physical problems, and together they inevitably lead to erectile dysfunction.
Symptoms of chronic prostatitis
In the exacerbation phase, clinical manifestations are similar to the symptoms of acute prostatitis.In the phase of remission, certain violations expressed to varying degrees are present.As a rule, the symptoms are more erased.
Asymptomatic form
Asymptomic prostatitis - the phenomenon is quite rare.The disease proceeds for a long time without characteristic symptoms: no pain, no problems with urination, there is no weakness, temperature is normal.This happens if the immunity is high.With a decrease in immunity, characteristic symptoms of prostatitis begin to manifest.
The absence of signals from the body interferes with timely diagnosis, and, therefore, by successful treatment.Such prostatitis is detected by accident.That is why it is important to regularly undergo a medical examination, even if nothing bothers.
Features of treatment
Most importantly: no self -medication!Only a doctor (urologist, andrologist) on the basis of complaints of the patient, examination, various analyzes and examinations can make an accurate diagnosis.
In the case of acute prostatitis, the purpose of therapy is the complete cure and preventing the transition of the disease into a chronic form.But even if prostatitis is chronic, you should not despair: a properly selected treatment regimen and compliance with the doctor’s recommendations will achieve a long remission and a significant reduction in exacerbations.
The composition of complex therapy of both acute and chronic forms of prostatitis necessarily includes drugs to restore prostate functions.Most often these are candles.The drugs have a systemic effect: improve microcirculation and blood supply, relieve swelling and venous stagnation, remove inflammatory phenomena, restore tissue and prostate functions.
Thanks to the introduction of candles in the treatment regimen, it is possible not only to reduce therapy (up to 10 days), but also to increase the terms of remission.
