Not all adult men know the manifestations of prostatitis, so very few people pay attention to the early symptoms of this disease. At the same time, this is one of the most common urological diseases today, so you should definitely become familiar with its features and manifestations. It is believed that this disease is characteristic of men in adulthood, but today this disappointing diagnosis can be made for quite young people aged 18-20 years.
It is simply an organ that is extremely susceptible to pathogenesis, growth and spread, so diseases of the bladder, urethra wall, vas deferens and other organs and systems can all affectnegative to it.
What is the first thing to know about prostatitis?
To know exactly how to identify inflammatory prostate disease, you should first become familiar with the main features of the disease. This is a local inflammatory process in the prostate gland. Usually, inflammation is caused by infectious microorganisms that can enter the prostate gland in a variety of ways. At the same time, infection of the prostate gland does not always indicate the onset of prostatitis. For the pathology to begin to manifest, a combination of several factors is required.
Prostatitis symptoms may begin to appear for the following reasons:
- Stool problems (eg, frequent constipation or other similar illnesses).
- Sedentary lifestyle (at work, at home), less physical activity and stress. With this factor, the risk group includes men who perform different professional activities: drivers, programmers, and office workers.
- Hypothermia (systemic or one-time severe).
- Prolonged abstinence (lack of sex life) or overly active sex life. Symptoms may also occur during normal sexual activity.
- Frequent stress and depression, disorders of a person's psychological - emotional and psychological background.
- Food intake problems (overeating frequently, prefers spicy, smoked foods, salty foods, alcoholic beverages, lack of at least some type of diet).
What is the most common manifestation of prostatitis?
It is usually not difficult to treat this disease, as inflammatory prostatitis can be detected in an early stage, if all its possible manifestations are known. It should be immediately noted that it is customary to distinguish between chronic and acute forms of pathology.
- If an acute form of the disease begins to develop, then the main symptom of prostatitis will be the presence of inflammation in the prostate area. The inflammatory process in this case is necessarily accompanied by an increase in body temperature (usually up to 39-39. 5 degrees), pain in the groin and perineum, pain during urination and bowel movements.
- A strange, chronic form that rarely disturbs the patient (except in the case of exacerbations). That is why many men simply do not pay attention to the manifestations of male prostatitis. During the exacerbation of the illness, the patient may experience a slight increase in body temperature (up to about 37-37. 5 degrees), discomfort and a sense of abnormality during urination and bowel movements, with a similar amountrelatively small amount of pus or mucus from the urethra. Since such manifestations are insignificant, many men assume these symptoms are due to other medical conditions, so treatment and referral to the specialist is delayed until finally.
Symptoms
The signs of prostatitis in men are very specific and indicative, so by knowing them, the patient can independently suspect the manifestation of this pathology, see a doctor promptlytimely and timely treatment. Even there is a certain dysuria syndrome, this will clearly indicate the possibility of disease in humans is very high. The six main signs can be distinguished at the same time, which in different cases can manifest together or separately.
But in the case of 2-3 signs, then this has become a serious reason to immediately appeal to the urologist:
- Problems with urination (difficulty urinating, drop of urine).
- Urine flow is slow enough, flowing down, short range, the patient cannot improve fitness.
- Pain when urinating.
- Increases urination time, splitting, spitting, spitting in different directions.
- After urinating, it may appear that the bladder is not completely empty.
- At night and at night, you need to go to the bathroom more often.
If a man has some of these signs, don't come to any sudden clinical conclusion. This is because whatever the symptoms appear, the prostatitis also has a rather complicated pathogenesis mechanism, so it is better to leave the diagnosis to a qualified specialist.
It is therefore strictly forbidden to initiate treatment of a disease based solely on known symptoms. You can clarify the symptoms and exactly the manifestation of prostatitis in men at any urologist, for diagnosis, it is necessary to consider not only the symptoms that have appeared. but also the results of laboratory and instrumental studies.
Main symptoms
As noted above, the disease can be either chronic or acute. Frequent urination is one of the most common symptoms and one of the most important. A healthy man usually has no more than 10-11 times a day to urinate (the normal ratio is 5-6 times).
Due to the development of prostatitis, adversely affects the bladder, therefore, when infected, the following symptoms will appear:
- Increased urination frequency (while constant daily urine volume).
- Urine comes out into small chunks, which are involved in receiving false signals from bladder receptors due to the presence of the inflammatory process. Additionally, there may be a feeling that the bladder is full even after urinating.
- Pain when urinating, caused by a narrowed urethra due to inflammation in the prostate gland.
- Difficult urination due to inflammation that compresses certain areas of the urethra. In some cases, men are unable to empty their bladder because of this.
- At night, the wall of the bladder begins to signal the wrong way, increasing the number of times you go to the bathroom during sleep.
Prostatitis can be partially diagnosed by monitoring body temperature, along with problems related to urination. If these problems are accompanied by an increase in temperature to lower fever and fever values, then we can speak with a high degree of probability of the development of the pathology. It is important to note that in the later stages of the development of the disease, on the contrary, a decrease in body temperature to 35, 5-36 degrees can be noted, which is an extremely negative and dangerous symptom. in any case, can not be tolerated.
In the mid-stage of the disease, there may be blood in the patient's urine. This feature is relatively rare and often has no indications, but is extremely dangerous. It may begin to manifest itself due to purulent fusion of the prostate gland, prostate injury, as well as in complicated cases of the inflammatory process with hyperplasia. Treatment in this case is complex (surgical intervention is often needed).
Treatment should be started as soon as the first symptoms of the disease appear. If you have at least some urination problems, though not insignificant, in some cases accompanied by increased body temperature and pain in a simple area, you should immediately make an appointment with your urologist toclarify the diagnosis. It is imperative to pay attention to the signs of the pathology described above, since the rapid and painless defeat of prostatitis can only be promptly treated.
