One of the vital organs of men is the prostate.
The prostate is located above the bladder and promotes the production of sperm secretions.
Prostatitis has become younger in our time, because it suddenly appears in men, not only after 30 years, but also in men between 20 and 25 years old.
Therefore, if alarming symptoms characteristic of prostatitis appear, it is necessary to be examined by a doctor.
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 a cut;
- stubborn, bursting or cutting pains in the perineum radiating to the penis (head), scrotum, thigh, anus, lumbosacral region and pubis;
- increased violation of urination;
- the presence of purulent discharge and blood in the urine;
- violation of potency and erection;
- male infertility.
The form of the disease depends on the nature of the pain. With chronic non-infectious prostatitis, persistent pain constantly occurs in different places.
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 with untreated sexually transmitted diseases, is characterized by bursting burning pains, which disappear with the use of antibiotic therapy.
Symptoms of infectious prostatitis are:
- decrease in sexual activity, intercourse time and premature ejaculation;
- increasing difficulty in urination and defecation with secretion from the prostate;
- general weakness, including drowsiness and chills.
With late treatment, it is possible to develop sepsis, chronic prostatitis, including prostate abscess, sexual disorders and psycho-emotional disorders.
Ignoring the symptoms of acute prostatitis leads to chronic illness. When an infection is introduced into the inflammatory process, especially in sexually transmitted diseases, the excretory ducts become inflamed by the posterior part of the urethra and antiperistalsis occurs, which will allow bacteria to enter the gland freely.
In addition, the infection is transported to the prostate in diseases such as colitis, paraproctitis, cracks in the posterior canal and through the lymphatic system and bloodstream.
After the first weak symptoms of acute prostatitis, with the sedimentation and accumulation of pathogenic microorganisms, the acute phase turns into chronic prostatitis with temporary remission and acute stages.
Symptoms of chronic bacterial prostatitis appear
- some decrease in sexual activity;
- an increase or decrease in the duration of sexual intercourse;
- premature ejaculation possible at the very beginning of sexual intercourse;
- slight difficulty with urination and bowel movements;
- periodic discomfort and burning sensation in the groin, urethra and perineum;
- secretion from the prostate;
- general weakness of the body, including drowsiness.
When alarming symptoms appear, every man should visit a urologist to study laboratory tests, prescribe adequate treatment and consultations.
The most alarming signals in case of suspected prostatitis are
- pains of a cutting, pulling, squeezing and bursting character in the perineum, under the pubis, in the region of the scrotum and urethra;
- urination problem: frequent urination with a small amount of urine;
- problematic sexual intercourse, in which the amount of semen decreases during ejaculation, the sensations of orgasm are weakened (they become weak and short), erectile function is impaired, male infertility occurs due to poor productionejaculate, watery semen with pus from the prostate.
