prostatitis> is a disease that mainly affects men between the ages of twenty-five and fifty-five. The older a man is, the greater the risk of prostatitis.
During initial prostatitis, glandular functions are activated. With the onset of inflammation, tissue regeneration also occurs.
Let's talk in more detail about the first signs of prostatitis in men and treatment.
How to recognize?
The development of prostatitis is rarely clearly recognized, as it is sometimes asymptomatic and its symptoms are unique to each patient and change over time.
These features are:
- It is a bit difficult for a man to urinate in the toilet. The gland gradually enlarges and the urinary tract contracts.
- The patient loses interest in sex. The difficulty with irritating the penis is exacerbated when trying to have sexual contact. The orgasm is difficult or weak to reach or disappears completely.
- Burning in the urethra, itching in the perineum.
- I often want to urinate, but it comes out drop by drop.
- Sperm appear quickly during intercourse with minimal pleasure.
- General fatigue, depression, irritability, aggression, anxiety increase.
The man experiences weakness and reduced ability to work.
Noise in my ears ringing in my head.
In the morning, one feels overwhelmed, losing one’s initiative in life.
However, at night, sometimes prolonged erections and painful ejaculation occur spontaneously, not associated with sexual intercourse.
Observing these phenomena, the patient calms down, believing that he is well with the potential, that in his opinion the problems are related to the partner and their relationship. Depression will catch you, which will make the disease worse.
First signs of prostatitis in a man
It is clearly difficult for the doctor and the patient to associate these symptoms with prostate disease. It can cause experienced stress (especially if there are causes), conflict in personal life.
They are more confidently associated with incipient prostatitis if other symptoms follow:
- The patient experiences pain in the groin, ovaries, perineum, and lower back.
- In prostatitis, frequent urination, especially at night, this process is becoming more painful, and the results of attempts to empty the bladder are becoming less and less significant.
- Mucus begins to empty from the urethra.
Symptoms of the first prostatitis recover slowly, for one, two, three years. Worst of all, they are characterized by a chain reaction: due to the increase in negative phenomena in the prostate gland, a man is not only unable to find himself, but also unable to satisfy his sexual partner.
Because of this, sexual contact is becoming less common, causing stagnation of blood circulation in the pool area. And such stagnation is one of the causes of prostatitis.
Acute prostatitis differs in symptoms from chronic disease.
Properties:
- The temperature sometimes rises to 38-39 degrees for no apparent reason, with parenchymal prostatitis - 40 ° C.
- Dysuria reaches the point where it is unable to urinate.
- Perineum pain becomes particularly severe.
- The patient suffers from chills and experiences nausea before vomiting.
- I'm having trouble defecating.
What should I do?
In chronic inflammation, the pain is mild, occurs periodically in the perineum and subsides, in the lower back, in the pubic area. Excessive sweating, especially in the perineum.
Sexual dysfunction becomes permanent. Prostate secretion is excreted instead of urine for morning prostatitis. The pain mostly hurts, spreading to the sacrum, suprapubus, rectum, penis.
The rate of development of sexual disorders depends on the degree of involvement of the sperm, the sperm located next to the prostate, in the process of testicular pathology. With a long course of the initial stage of prostatitis, the intensity of sex hormone production decreases in men.
Young men often panic and fear sexual intercourse. Fear of “shame, ” failure to perform necessary actions with a partner, does not lead to neurosis, which further impairs sexual function.
Sexual disorders occur when there is too much female hormone in the male body, a lack of male hormone. These may also be a consequence of latent asymptomatic inflammation of the prostate that has not been previously identified. Their development sometimes leads to male infertility.
What should you do if you find the first signs of prostatitis? When these signs appear, you should make an appointment with a urologist who, based on their results, will send the patient for an examination, diagnose (or not) the disease, its type.
Identifying the ethology of prostatitis: bacterial or not, is also paramount in choosing the method of treatment. For example, treating non-infectious prostatitis with antibiotics is not only useless but also very harmful to the body.
First aid for prostatitis is provided by a doctor. Its purpose is to restore normal urination associated with prostatitis. To do this, there is an urgent need to reduce the size of the prostate gland, which compresses the urethral canal and does not allow urine to pass.
Relaxation of the glandular muscles can be achieved, for example, by massaging the prostate.
Prostate massage is a procedure that requires a special masseuse qualification.
Enforcement by an amateur has serious complications, irreversible damage to internal organs.
Antibiotics and suppositories are prescribed for the treatment of bacterial prostatitis. It is to be understood that harmful microorganisms cannot be destroyed by folk remedies, exercise, physical procedures and diet.
These methods will help or be needed during remission.
However, for the treatment of bacterial prostatitis, a combination of these may be sufficient for a complete cure without "chemistry, " that is, pharmacy 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, there are no more infections, the patient should be cured as soon as possible:
- start regular sex 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 such symptoms?
The symptoms described do not necessarily indicate that the disease is prostatitis. They are also accompanied by kidney disease, urethral infections, sexually transmitted diseases and other diseases.
Urethritis is the most common male disease. It is an infection of the urethra caused by bacteria, viruses and fungi. They become infected mainly through sexual contact.
Sometimes an infection waits for a comfortable hour in the body and occurs when the immune system weakens. The reasons for its decrease are the same as those that cause non-bacterial prostatitis: hypothermia, bad habits, chaotic sexual behavior, abuse of acidic, spicy, salty foods, stress, physical activity.
Exactly what is inflamed: the prostate or urethra (or both), tests, ultrasound shows the diagnosis based on the doctor.
You now know the first symptoms and treatment of prostatitis in men. As with any disease, the sooner prostatitis is detected, the sooner it heals.
Neglecting prostate inflammation and the first signs of treatment brings frivolous patients to the surgeon’s desk. It is better to take action in time.
