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 from 20 to 25 years.
Therefore, if alarming symptoms characteristic of prostatitis appear, 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 cold and fever;
- painful urination with cutting;
- stubborn aching, shooting or cutting pains in the perineum radiating to the penis (head), scrotum, thigh, anus, lumbosacral region and pubis;
- increasing 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. In non-infectious chronic prostatitis, persistent excruciating pain constantly occurs in different places.
Symptoms of non-infectious prostatitis appear
- painful urination with tingling at the end;
- painful condition of the scrotum on touch;
- frequent urge to urinate;
- sphincter tension.
Infectious prostatitis, including the chronic phase, especially in untreated sexually transmitted diseases, is characterized by the onset of burning pain that subsides with the use of antibiotic therapy.
Symptoms of infectious prostatitis are:
- reduction of sexual activity, intercourse time and premature ejaculation;
- increasing difficulty in urination and defecation with secretion from the prostate;
- general weakness, including drowsiness and coldness.
Late treatment can develop sepsis, chronic prostatitis, including prostate abscess, sexual disorders and psychoemotional disorders.
Neglecting the symptoms of acute prostatitis leads to chronic disease. When the infection is introduced into 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 bacteria to enter 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 bloodstream.
After the weak first symptoms of acute prostatitis, 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 reduction in sexual activity;
- increase or decrease the duration of the relationship;
- possible premature ejaculation at the very beginning of sexual intercourse;
- minor difficulty urinating and stool;
- periodic discomfort and tingling in the groin, urethra and perineum;
- secretion from the prostate;
- general weakness of the body, including drowsiness.
When alarming symptoms appear, every man must visit a urologist to study laboratory tests, prescribe an adequate course of treatment and consultation.
The most alarming signals for suspected prostatitis are
- cutting, pulling, pressing and shooting pains in the perineum, below the pubis, in the area of the scrotum and urethra;
- urination problem: frequent urination with a small amount of urine;
- problematic sexual intercourse, in which the amount of sperm decreases during ejaculation, feelings of orgasm are weakened (become muffled and short), erectile function is disturbed, male infertility occurs due to poor production of ejaculate, liquid sperm with pus from the prostate.
