Inflammation of the prostate> is a disease that mainly affects men between the ages of twenty and fifty-five. The older the man, the greater the risk of prostatitis.
In initial prostatitis, glandular functions are activated. Tissue regeneration occurs along with the appearance of inflammation.
Let's talk in more detail about 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 to each patient and change over time.
These features include:
- A man has little difficulty passing urine in the toilet. The gland gradually enlarges, the urinary tract shrinks.
- The patient loses interest in sex. Difficulties with penile arousal increase when trying to have sex. Orgasm is achieved with difficulty, or weak, or completely disappears.
- Burning in the urethra, itching in the perineum.
- I often want to urinate, but it comes out drop by drop.
- Sperm comes out quickly during intercourse with minimal pleasure.
- General fatigue, depression, irritability, aggression, anxiety increase.
A person feels weak, his ability to work decreases.
Noise in my ears, ringing in my head.
In the morning a person feels overwhelmed, loses initiative in life.
At the same time, at night, sometimes prolonged erections and painful ejaculation occur spontaneously, not related to sex.
Observing these phenomena, the patient calms down, believing that it is good with potency, the problems, according to him, are related to the partner, their relationship. It is possessed by depression, which worsens the development of the disease.
The first signs of prostatitis in men
There is some difficulty for the doctor and patient to associate these symptoms with prostate disease. They can be caused by the stress experienced (especially if there are reasons), with a conflict in personal life.
They are more strongly associated with initial prostatitis if other symptoms follow:
- The patient experiences pain in the groin, balls, perineum, 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 secretion of mucus from the urethra begins.
The symptoms of the first prostatitis slowly accumulate in a year, two, three. Worst of all, they have the character of a chain reaction: due to the increase in the negative phenomena in the prostate gland, the man not only does not find satisfaction, but also can not satisfy his sexual partner.
As a result, sexual intercourse becomes less frequent, which causes stagnation of blood circulation in the pelvic area. Such stagnation, in turn, is one of the causes of prostatitis.
Acute prostatitis differs in symptoms from chronic.
Its attributes:
- The temperature for no apparent reason sometimes rises to 38-39 degrees, with parenchymal prostatitis - up to 40 ° C.
- Dysuria reaches the point that he cannot urinate.
- The pain in the perineum becomes particularly intense.
- The patient suffers from chills, nausea before vomiting.
- I'm having trouble defecating.
What should I do?
In chronic inflammation the pain is mild, occurs and subsides periodically in the perineum, is given in the lower back, pubis. Excessive sweating, especially in the perineum.
Sexual dysfunction becomes permanent. Instead of urine for prostatitis in the morning, prostate secretion is secreted. The pain is mainly pain, it spreads to the sacrum, pubis, rectum, penis.
The rate of development of sexual disorders depends on the degree of participation in the process of pathology of the seminal tubercle, the seminal vesicles located next to the prostate. With a long course of the initial stage of prostatitis in men, the intensity of the production of sex hormones decreases.
Young men in such cases often panic and are afraid of sexual intercourse. The fear of "disgrace", the inability to perform the necessary actions with a partner leads to neurosis, which further impairs sexual function.
Sexual disorders occur when a man's body has an excess of female hormones, a lack of male hormones. They can also be the result of hidden asymptomatic inflammation of the prostate, not previously identified. Their development sometimes leads to male infertility.
If you find the first signs of prostatitis, what to do? When these signs appear, you should make an appointment with a urologist, who will send the patient for tests, based on their results, will diagnose (or not) the disease, its type.
Identifying the ethology of prostatitis: bacterial or not, is also of the utmost importance for the choice of treatment method. Treatment of 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. Its purpose is to restore normal urination with prostatitis. To do this, it is urgent to reduce the size of the prostate gland, which compresses the urethral canal and prevents urine from coming out.
Relaxation of the muscles of the gland can be achieved, for example, by massaging the prostate.
Prostate massage is a procedure that requires special qualification of a masseur.
Its performance by an amateur is fraught with serious complications, irreversible damage to internal organs.
For the treatment of bacterial prostatitis is prescribed a course of antibiotics, rectal suppositories. It should be understood that harmful microorganisms can not be destroyed by folk remedies, exercise, physical procedures and diet.
These methods will either promote healing or will be needed during remission.
At the same time, for the treatment of bacterial prostatitis, their combination may be sufficient for a complete cure without "chemistry", ie pharmaceutical drugs. It all depends on the stage of the disease, the individual characteristics of the patient's body, the experience of the doctor.
If the disease has left the exacerbation stage and there is no longer an infection, the patient should be cured as soon as possible:
- start a regular sex life as soon as possible;
- eliminate bad habits. Eat a diet for patients with prostatitis;
- move more, play sports. Perform special exercises for men.
What other diseases are there with these symptoms?
The symptoms described do not necessarily mean that the disease is prostatitis. They also accompany kidney disease, urethral infections, venereal and other diseases.
Urethritis is the most common male disease. It is an infection in the urethra caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi. They are infected mainly through sexual contact.
Sometimes the infection waits a convenient hour in the body and occurs when the immune system is weakened. The reasons for its reduction are the same as those that cause nonbacterial 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 shown by tests, ultrasound. 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.
Ignoring the first signs of prostatitis and treatment leads frivolous patients to the surgeon's table. Better to take timely action.
