Prostate inflammation> is a disease that mainly affects men between 20 and 55 years of age. The older the man, the greater the risk of prostatitis.
With initial prostatitis, the gland's 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 recognize?
The onset of prostatitis is rarely recognized unambiguously, as it is sometimes asymptomatic and its symptoms are individual for each patient and change over time.
These features include:
- A man has difficulty urinating in the bathroom. The gland gradually increases, the urine channel contracts.
- The patient loses interest in sex. Difficulties with penis arousal 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 feel like urinating, but it comes out drop by drop.
- The semen comes out quickly during intercourse with minimal pleasure.
- General fatigue, depression, irritability, aggression, increased anxiety.
A man feels weak, his ability to work decreases.
Noise in my ears, ringing in my head.
In the morning, the person feels oppressed, loses the initiative in life.
At the same time, at night, sometimes prolonged erection and painful ejaculation occur spontaneously, not associated with sex.
Observing these phenomena, the patient calms down, believing that he is well with the power, the problems, in his opinion, are linked to the partner, to their relationship. He is stricken with depression, which aggravates the development of the disease.
The first signs of prostatitis in a man
There is a definite difficulty for the doctor and the patient to associate these symptoms with prostate diseases. They can be caused by the stress experienced (especially if there are reasons), with conflict in personal life.
They are more safely associated with incipient prostatitis if other symptoms follow:
- The patient feels pain in the groin, eggs, perineum and lower back.
- In prostatitis, frequent urination, especially at night, this process is increasingly painful, the result of attempts to empty the bladder is less and less significant.
- The release of mucus from the urethra begins.
The symptoms of the first prostatitis slowly increase over one, two, three years. Worst of all, they have the character of a chain reaction: due to the growth of negative prostate phenomena, man not only does not find satisfaction for himself, but he is also unable to satisfy his sexual partner.
Because of this, sexual contacts are becoming less frequent, which causes stagnation of blood circulation in the pelvic region. This stagnation, in turn, is one of the causes of prostatitis.
Acute prostatitis differs in symptoms from chronic.
Your attributes:
- The temperature for no apparent reason sometimes rises to 38-39 degrees, with parenchymal prostatitis - up to 40 ° C.
- Dysuria goes so far as to fail to urinate.
- The pain in the perineum becomes particularly intense.
- The patient has chills, feels nauseous before vomiting.
- I'm having trouble defecating.
What to do?
In chronic inflammation, the pain is mild, occurs and decreases periodically in the perineum, is administered in the lower back, pubis. Excessive sweating, especially in the perineum.
Sexual dysfunction becomes permanent. Instead of urine for prostatitis in the morning, secretion from the prostate is secreted. The pain is mainly painful, it 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, seminal vesicles located close to the prostate. With a long course of the initial stage of prostatitis in men, the intensity of sex hormone production decreases.
Boys, in these cases, tend to panic and fear sexual intercourse. The fear of "disgrace", of not being able to perform the necessary actions with the 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, a lack of male hormones. They can also be a consequence of asymptomatic latent inflammation of the prostate, not previously identified. Its development sometimes leads to male infertility.
If you find the first signs of prostatitis, what to do? When these signs appear, you need to make an appointment with a urologist, who will refer the patient for tests, based on your results, to diagnose (or not) the disease, its type.
The identification of the ethology of prostatitis: bacterial or not is also extremely important 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 prostatitis. For this, it is necessary to urgently reduce the size of the prostate, which compresses the urethral canal and does not let the urine escape.
Relaxation of the gland's muscles can be achieved, for example, by prostate massage.
Prostate massage is a procedure that requires special qualifications from a massage therapist.
Its 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 must be understood that harmful microorganisms cannot be exterminated with folk remedies, exercises, physical procedures and diet.
These methods will help or be needed during referral.
At the same time, for the treatment of bacterial prostatitis, its combination may be sufficient for a complete cure without "chemistry", that is, pharmaceutical drugs. It all depends on the stage of the disease, on the individual characteristics of the patient's body, on the physician's experience.
If the disease has left the exacerbation stage, there is no more infection, the patient needs to be cured as soon as possible:
- start a regular sex life as soon as possible;
- eliminates bad habits. Make a diet for patients with prostatitis;
- move more, play sports. Do special exercises for men.
What other diseases are there with these symptoms?
The symptoms described do not necessarily indicate that the disease is prostatitis. They also accompany kidney disease, infections of the urethra, venereal disease and other diseases.
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 a convenient time in the body and manifests itself when the immune system is weakened. The reasons for its decrease are the same that cause non-bacterial prostatitis: hypothermia, bad habits, chaotic sexual behavior, abuse of acidic, spicy, salty foods, stress, physical activity.
What exactly is inflamed: the prostate or urethra (or both), will be demonstrated by exams, 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 frivolous patients to the surgeon's table. Better to act in a timely manner.
