Prostatitis is one of the most common urological diseases, accompanied by inflammation of the prostate tissue.According to official medical statistics, prostatitis is diagnosed in every tenth patient.This is due to the complexity of early diagnosis of pathology and frequent walking of the disease in a hidden form.As for the age category of men who are at risk, prostatitis was previously considered an adult disease.In recent years, the disease has been quickly young.This is due to a sedentary lifestyle, malnutrition, stress present in the life of the modern man.According to doctors, the treatment of the disease should start as early as possible.To do this, you need to know how the pathology arises, what the first signs of prostatitis in men need to pay great attention.
Types of prostate inflammation and signs classification
The signs of the inflammatory process in the prostate are very diverse, which is related to the presence of several types in the disease:
- Spicy.It is often purulent.The signs of inflammation in men, both general and specific, are expressed as much as possible, and the pathogen is pathogenic (pathogenic) flora.Therefore, treatment in most cases consists in prescribing antibiotics.
- Chronic.This may be the result of an acute process if a man's treatment is performed incorrectly or untimely.The bright symptoms that accompany the purulent process pass, the signs of the disease are much worse.In remission, the characteristics of the process can disappear completely.With exacerbation of chronic prostatitis, the symptoms increase, but more often with a lower intensity than in the acute course of the disease.
Chronic prostatitis in men can initially form without previous signs of acute inflammation.In this case, prostatitis is more stagnant, that is, it stems from a sedentary lifestyle, the presence of chronic diseases affecting blood circulation in the pelvic organs.Knowing and being able to distinguish between the first signs of prostate inflammation in men is very important because it affects the choice of more current treatment.If in the case of bacterial prostatitis, which symptoms of general intoxication will show, treatment should include antibiotic therapy (tablets, injections, candles), then with a stagnation process, congestion treatment comes first, that is, the image of the image and therapy of the concomitant education.The signs of prostatitis can distinguish common and specific.The latter, in turn, are divided into several groups:
- Pain syndrome.
- Urination disorders.In another way, this group of signs is called "disurical disorders".
- Disorders in the genital area.
- Changes from the nervous system.
- External manifestations.
- Infertility.
Common signs of the disease
The common symptoms of prostatitis usually mean as a whole distance reactions, indicating the development of an acute inflammatory process in the body.Naturally, in chronic prostatitis, these phenomena are absent (except in cases of pronounced exacerbation).The signs of the active inflammatory process are:
- Fever.The degree of increase is associated with the severity of inflammation.In acute bacterial prostatitis, especially accompanied by abscess formation, the temperature can reach 39-40 ° C. This condition is accompanied by other pronounced signs of the disease.The first sign of viral inflammation of the prostate gland can also be fever.
- General weakness, headache.
- Chills.The breakdown of chills is characteristic of bacterial prostatitis.
- Lomota in the muscles.
Common manifestations of inflammation are rarely the only marker of prostatitis.But there are exceptions.For example, the chronic sluggish form of the low severity of specific characteristics sometimes leads to a subfebrile (fever to 37.2-37.3 ° C).The diagnosis of the disease in such a situation can only be detected after examination and additional studies, including the sowing of prostate secret for pathogenic microorganisms.
Specific signs of the disease
Consider the specific signs of prostate inflammation, which allows an accurate diagnosis and prescribing effective treatment of pathology.
Pain syndrome
The leading and often the first sign of prostate inflammation is pain.The nature of the pain can vary greatly.There is pain for sewing, pain, cutting characteristic localization.If it is an acute process, then they can significantly affect the life of men, lead to sleep and performance.In chronic prostatitis during remission, the pain is mild and sometimes completely absent.The typical localization of pain in prostatitis is a small pelvis.One can feel pain in the crotch, under the abdomen, the lower back.Often they emit in the penis, scrotum, testes.The pain can be accompanied by urination and bowel movements, as well as intensification during erection and ejaculation.A characteristic first sign of the computing form of the disease may be pain, the intensity and time of which depends on the movement.They appear or strengthen if one goes quickly, jumps, bends.Such a sign is due to mechanical irritation of the walls of the channels.
Disorders of urination
Without more signs of prostate inflammation are various disorders of urination.Dysuria is manifested by the need for frequent urination, a feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder and false summoning of urination.The nature of urination itself can also change: one complains of a sluggish or periodic flow of urine, the need to make efforts to help normally.Green, though not the first, a sign of prostate inflammation is a sharp retention of urine.The symptom develops with acute inflammation, accompanied by severe edema of the prostate gland.In the case of exacerbation of chronic prostatitis, urine retention, but a lower intensity may occur.Most often, one simply cannot hold a large amount of urine and needs a frequent visit to the toilet.Dysuria and pain syndrome are the most common first manifestations of any form of prostatitis.They are most often initial and predominate in the clinic in acute prostatitis or exacerbation of chronic.
Disorders in the genital sphere
Unpleasant for most stronger sexes, although rare, the manifestation of prostatitis is sexual dysfunction.Intimate sphere disorders are often the result of a chronic inflammatory process and are of a different nature.First of all, there are problems with erection.It can become sluggish or one cannot complete sexual intercourse.Ejaculation is impaired: premature is more common.Over time, the usual severity of the sensations is erased.The problem of purely physiological becomes psychological.Disorders of sexual desire (libida disorders) develop, orgasm problems occur.
Changes from the nervous system
These signs have a negative effect on the general condition of the nervous system, which causes a decrease in mood, depression, sleep disorders.One ceases to feel his own fullness.The constant being in a state of stress and depression with your own condition can cause aggressive behavior, irritability and tendency to conflict in many men.In such a clinical situation, only the treatment of prostatitis does not lead to the normalization of the psychological condition.In this case, an experienced psychologist is needed who may prescribe a course of antidepressants, it is possible even after the treatment of the underlying disease.
External manifestations
Along with disorders of the sexual sphere with prostatitis, a change in sperm is detected.For example, purulent prostatitis will be accompanied by a change in color, the odor of semen.Depending on the pathogen that caused the process, the biological fluid may turn yellow, green, yellow-green.Sometimes it is thrown out of the hole of the urethra and an external intercourse appears.They also differ in color, odor and other characteristics, although the mucous membranes, the transparent discharge that occurs in the morning is more common.One can detect pathological impurities in the urine after urination.These are mucous membranes, also more often in the morning of the urine.The various pathological impurities in a number of situations remain the first and only manifestation of the inflammatory process.Impurities in sperm can have a bloody character that serves as a sign of inflammation.The condition is called erythrospermia.This phenomenon occurs due to the trauma of the walls with stones.As the first sign of prostatitis is rare, therefore, when blood impurities occur in sperm, all other diseases should always be excluded.
Male infertility
The only sign of a chronic sluggish inflammatory process may be infertility.Often, already during a person's study, an old inflammatory process is found to be involved in a representative of the stronger sex, which leads to a disruption of the process of normal sperm formation.During the men's study, a decrease in complete semen and a decrease in mobility of male germ cells was found.
Clinical dependence on the stage and type of disease
The dependence of the clinical picture of the disease on the type of prostatitis and its stage is well known.Think in detail.
Clinic in acute bacterial prostatitis
Acute bacterial prostatitis develops due to the penetration of pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic bacteria into the prostate gland.This type of prostatitis requires timely treatment, otherwise the consequence of the disease may be blood poisoning.
Signs:
- chills and fever;
- pulling and acute pain in the lower back, groin and perineum;
- Frequent urination;
- insufficiency of independent emptying of the bladder;
- painful urination;
- Disposal from the urethra.
Manifestations in chronic bacterial prostatitis
The development of chronic bacterial prostatitis is facilitated by constant hypothermia, untimely urination and long sexual abstinence.In the absence of timely therapy, chronic bacterial prostatitis may provoke cystitis.
Signs:
- pain in the bottom of the abdomen, perineum, scrotum;
- potency disorder;
- Violation of urination.
Symptoms of chronic no -bacterial prostatitis
Chronic non -bacterial prostatitis is the most common form of urological diseases in men.Most often, this disease is a reflection of extragentic diseases.
Signs:
- Pelvic pain syndrome, which can last 3-6 months;
- periodic pain in the urethra, bladder, penis;
- The lack of signs of the inflammatory process in the secret of the prostate, seminal fluid and urine.
Symptoms with stagnant prostate
The main cause of stagnant prostatitis is the stagnation of the secret of the prostate and venous blood in the pelvis.
Signs:
- lethargy of orgasmic sensations;
- weakened erection;
- Slight difficulty in urination;
- Perineum pain;
- rapid urination in the morning;
- Libido decreases.
Signs of asymptomatic course of the disease
This form of prostate pathology is not associated with bacterial infection and has no symptoms pronounced.Asymptomatic prostate inflammation can only be detected through a high level of leukocytes and bacteria in the urine, as well as during biopsy.Whatever the form of prostatitis in a person, the process at any stage can lead to the development of great complications.They can become inflammatory processes of any urinary system (kidneys, bladder), which in turn will lead to the appearance of urolithiasis or even to the development of chronic renal failure.Therefore, so that severe complications do not occur, the disease should be treated in a timely manner and for timely treatment, of course, you should be able to recognize the first signs of the disease and consult a specialist over time.
