Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate gland that men of 20 years of age suffers.
According to statistics, 1 out of 4 men came across this disease in one form or another.In recent years, there has been a persistent tendency to "rejuvenate" the process.This is due to sexual emancipation, the increase in sexual transmission infections, cars -diagnosis trends and the treatment on the internet and the stability of infectious agents to the action of antibacterial therapy.
This is particularly true because the first signs of prostatitis in men are generally expressed, which does not allow you to consult a doctor in time and in some cases leads to the development of advanced prostatitis.
Signs of prostatitis in men
The characteristics of the structure, the influx of blood and the position of the prostate gland influence the nature of the symptoms that will be in the lead during its inflammation.These include:
- Symptom of pain.
- Symptom of urination (inconvenient).
- Symptom of erectile dysfunction.
Symptom of pain
The pain, which is different in the degree of intensity, concern man in the lower abdomen, in the perineum, in the genitalia and in the lumbosacral column.This position of pain is determined by the presence of nerve ties and by the involvement in the process of inflammation of the seed bubbles (vesicles).
Pain can vary in intensity, from an inexplicable sense of discomfort to a strong pain that affects the mental state of a man and cause insomnia.The most important sensations depend on sexual behavior and derive from the lack of regular ejaculation or, on the contrary, on ejaculation, which is associated with the spread of the inflammatory process to the rear urethra.
It should be noted that pain in the lumbosacral region may not be connected to the prostate gland, but to be a consequence, for example the osteochondosis of the spine.Establishing the cause of these pains helps the result of a conversation with the patient and the data of the urological examination.
The first sign of prostatitis in a man is a sensation of pain in the testicles (in the scrotum) with the spread of the testicles (inguinal areas on the right and left).The pain that rotates from the internal thighs, the back, which determines the need to consult a neurological pathology, as is for prostate pain, which is dictated by the inflamed prostate.It is not characteristic.
In some cases, the irradiation of painful sensations is asymmetrical, which allows you to suspect the inflammatory process in the prostate, located in one of it.The place of manifestation of pain is divided into genital (in the genital area, characteristic of chronic congestive prostatitis), extractive (above the genitals, it is characteristic of neglected common prostatitis) and mixed (chronic prostatitis).
Symptoms of dysuria or urination disorder with prostatitis
Mind disorders are expressed by false calls, a sense of incomplete emptying of the bladder with frequent urination, which is associated with inflammation in the neck of the bladder and urethra.For a long time there are signs of dysuria with prostatitis indicate a chronic process.
Erectile disorders for prostatitis
The violations of the erectile function with prostatitis are represented by premature ejaculation, deleted during orgasm, a decrease in libido, a weakening of an erection.Sometimes a man's prostatitis can be suspected from the absence of morning erections.
A decrease in power, as a first sign of prostatitis in a man, is caused by a decrease in testosterone synthesis (male sex hormone).
The manifestations of inflammation in the prostate gland are not limited to three of the aforementioned symptoms.Often the first sign of prostatitis in a man is the assignment of a secret of the prostate from the urethra during an act of defecation (prostrator), which indicates a decrease in the muscle tone of Ery's storms.
Furthermore, one cannot fail to focus on the psychological signs of prostatitis in a man: an Astheno-Neurotic syndrome develops from the nervous system (depression, fatigue, lack of desire to do anything, physical weakness).
The first signs of acute prostatitis
All the above signs are typical of chronic inflammation in the prostate, with acute prostatitis in a man, the image is in some way different.
The disease begins with severe acute pain in the perineum, the symptoms of urination disorder are more clearly traced.There is an increase in temperature at 38-39 C, chills, weakness, sweating, muscle pain and bones.During defecation, pain in the anus is worried.There is no sex life.
If you do not pass an exam in a timely manner and do not start to be treated, the acute process will be complicated by purulent prostatitis, up to the rise, which will lead to an emergency surgery.
If there are no other reasons (States of immunodeficiency, serious accompanying pathology, etc.) - Purulent prostatitis in a man - an inflammatory process neglected due to the premature research of a doctor!
The causes of the signs of prostate inflammation
The factors that influence inflammation in the prostate are conditioned in 3 groups.
The unscrewed impact factors include:
- Physicist.
- Sexual constitution.
- Age factor.
- The presence of diseases.
- Environment (climatic factor).
Partially controlled factors:
- Sexual habits.
- Profession.
- Background diseases of the male genital area.
- Attitude towards the disease.
And finally, controlled factors:
- Wandering sex life.
- Alcoholism.
- Failure to comply with therapeutic recommendations.
- Lighting in power mode.
Who is at risk
Prostatitis threatens men who:
- Adhere to a sedentary lifestyle.
- Suffer from chronic constipation.
- Half a story of adverse infections.
- They have more than one sexual partner.
- I suffer from alcoholism, drug addiction.
- They work in cold condition.
If there are signs of prostatitis, what to do
Laboratory diagnostics for prostatitis
- In the UC, an increase in the speed of the setting of erythrocytes, the movement of the formula of left leukocytes.In OAM - Leucocyturia, proteinuria, bacteriuria.
- Blood for HIV infection.
- A strip from urethra to flora.As a rule, leukocytes in the smear are completely.If a sexual transmission causal agent is not detected (Gonococci Neisser, Trichomonads), it is essential to perform the diagnostics of the PCR.
- The secret of the prostate gland.Having guided the secret of the prostate on the pathogen and the definition of sensitivity to the antibiotic.
- PCR - diagnostic for sexual transmission infections.The most reliable and quick way to check the pathogen.
- Blood on the dog.The blood should not be taken on the dog (specific antigen for prostat) during an acute inflammatory process in the prostate gland, the result will not be reliable.It is better to do this analysis 1 month after the end of the therapy.It is not necessary for young people under the age of 30, it is not necessary to explore the level of the psa in the blood.This analysis is important for a man over the age of 40, since acute prostatitis, in some cases, can be secondary and a malignant tumor in the prostate gland is masked behind its clinical manifestations.
Instrumental diagnostic methods
As a rule, the ultrasound examination of the prostate is transient (through the rectum) or transabdominal (through the stomach).
Signs of prostatitis for ultrasound
An increase in the gland in volume, a modification of the plot, edema;With purulent prostatitis - areas of necrosis, deformation of contours, an increase in regional lymph nodes.
What you should pay attention to
First of all, in order to get rid of the symptoms of prostatitis forever, it is necessary to observe a certain diet.
The exacerbation of prostatitis in a man depends on irritating substances falling on food: acute condiments, vinegar, marinades, alcohol.
Alcohol should be said in particular, even its minimum use can reduce the action of prolonged complex therapy to zero.
Some patients believe that they should use alcohol less often or switch to lighter alcohol.This is their main mistake.
Divorced vinegar, kvass, citrus fruits, sauerkraut, tomatoes and cucumbers have no harmful effects with prostatitis.
Eating products rich in fiber will save a man from constipation, one of the main reasons for the development of congestion in the basin.
Aiders help well for prevention.Reception of plants: Lingonberry leaf, dill, urological collection helps to improve urination during inflammation.
Sport, in particular the implementation of exercises to improve the blood circulation of the pelvic organs contributes to the conservation of the prostate in the tone.
The development of inflammation in the prostate causes hypothermia.In winter time, it is worth dressing more hot and, in the summer, after the bathroom, it is not for a long time in wet swimming trunks.
The use of condoms during sexual contact with an unknown partner will protect from sexual transmission diseases, including HIV infection.
Long -term overload has a negative impact on the male immune system, as well as in stressful situations, which can activate a dormant infection in the prostate gland.A regulatory prophylactic examination by a urologist will help to maintain male health.
