Not all adult men know how prostatitis manifests, so few people pay attention to the initial symptoms of this disease. At the same time, this is the most common urological pathology today, so it is necessary to be familiar with its characteristics and manifestations. The disease is generally believed to be a typical cause of adult males, but today, this disappointing diagnosis can target young people between 18 and 20 years old.
Simplicity is an extremely vulnerable organ through which pathogens penetrate, develop and spread. Therefore, it is negatively affected by diseases of the bladder, urethral wall, vas deferens and other organs and systems.
What is the first thing about prostatitis?
To know exactly how to define prostatitis, you should first be familiar with the main characteristics of the disease. This is an inflammatory process locally located in the prostate. Generally, inflammation is caused by infectious microorganisms that can enter the prostate in a variety of ways. At the same time, prostate infection does not always indicate the beginning of the development of prostatitis. In order for the pathology to begin to manifest, certain factors need to be combined.
The symptoms of prostatitis may begin to appear due to the following reasons:
- Stool problems (for example, frequent constipation or other similar diseases).
- Sedentary lifestyle (at work, at home), there is almost no physical exercise and stress. Taking this factor into account, the risk groups include men engaged in various professional activities: drivers, programmers, office workers.
- Hypothermia of the body (systemic or one-time important).
- Long-term abstinence (lack of sex) or excessively active sex. Signs of disease may also appear during normal sexual activity.
- Frequent stress and depression can interfere with people's psychological emotions and psychological background.
- Food intake problems (frequent overeating, preference for spicy, smoky, salty food, alcoholic beverages, lack of at least one diet).
What are the most common manifestations of prostatitis?
The treatment of this disease is usually not difficult, because prostatitis can be found at the initial stage and all possible manifestations are known. It should be pointed out immediately that it is customary to distinguish between chronic and acute forms of pathology.
- Strangely, this chronic disease rarely bothers patients (except for worsening conditions). This is why many men don't pay attention to male prostatitis. During the exacerbation of the disease, the patient may experience a slight increase in body temperature (up to about 37-37. 5 degrees), discomfort and abnormal sensations during urination and defecation, and a relatively small amount of purulent or mucus in the urethra. In view of the small significance of this performance, many men attribute these symptoms to other pathologies, resulting in the delay of treatment and referral to specialists until the end.
Signs of disease
The signs of male prostatitis are very specific and indicative. Therefore, after understanding these symptoms, patients can independently suspect this pathological manifestation, consult a doctor in time and start treatment in time. There is even a certain syndrome of dysuria, which will clearly indicate that a person has a high probability of being sick. Six main characteristics can be distinguished at the same time, and in different situations, they can be displayed together or separately.
However, when there are 2-3 signs, this has become a serious reason to immediately attract urologists:
- Problems with urination (difficulty urinating, dripping and release of urine).
- The urine flow is relatively sluggish, falling down, and the range is very short, and the patient cannot physically strengthen it.
- Pain when urinating.
- Prolonged urination time, split, intermittent flow, spray in different directions.
- After urinating, I still feel that the bladder is not completely empty.
- In the evening and evening, it is necessary to go to the toilet more frequently.
If a person has these symptoms, then you should not make sudden clinical conclusions. This is due to the fact that no matter what symptoms appear, the pathogenesis of prostatitis is more complicated, so it is best to entrust the diagnosis to a qualified expert.
Therefore, it is strictly forbidden to start the treatment of diseases based on only known symptoms. You can figure out the symptoms of any urologist and the performance of prostatitis in men. To make a diagnosis, they must not only consider the symptoms that have appeared, but also the results of laboratory and instrumental studies.
Main symptoms
As mentioned above, the disease can be chronic or acute. Frequent urination is one of the common and most important symptoms. A healthy man usually has no more than 10-11 impulses to urinate during the day (the normal indicator is 5-6 impulses).
Due to inflammation of the prostate, which has a negative effect on the bladder, in the presence of this disease, the following symptoms will appear:
- Increase the number of urges (while the daily urine output remains the same).
- A small amount of urine is emitted, due to the inflammatory process, which is related to receiving wrong signals from the bladder receptors. Therefore, even after emptying, there may be a feeling of full bladder.
- Pain during urination, which is caused by urethral stricture caused by prostatitis.
- Due to inflammation, certain areas of the urethra are compressed, making it difficult to urinate. Therefore, in some cases, men cannot empty their bladder at all.
Prostatitis can be diagnosed by monitoring body temperature and problems related to urination. If these problems are accompanied by an increase in temperature to sub-heat and high calorific value, then we can talk about the development of pathology with high probability. It is important to note that, on the contrary, in the later stages of the development of the disease, the body temperature can be noticed to drop to 35. 5-36 degrees, which in any case is an extremely unfavorable and dangerous symptom and cannot be tolerated.
In the middle stage of the disease, blood may be visible in the patient's urine. This feature is relatively rare, usually not indicative, but very dangerous. It can begin to show up due to the purulent fusion of the prostate, trauma to the prostate, and in the case of complications of a hyperplastic inflammatory process. In this case, treatment is complicated (surgical intervention is usually required).
Treatment should be started as soon as the first symptoms of the disease appear. If there are at least some urinary problems, although they may seem trivial, and in some cases will be accompanied by increased body temperature and pain in simple areas, then you need to make an appointment with a urologist immediately to confirm the diagnosis. The above pathological signs must be paid attention to, because only through timely treatment can prostatitis be overcome quickly and painlessly.
