Prostatitis is a fairly common condition among men (women this disease is not threatened because the prostate gland is an exclusively male body of the genitourinary system). Only one of the five representatives of the stronger sex even once in life faced with a similar problem. Prostatitis is a male disease of the urogenital area, a mandatory attribute which is an inflammatory process that is localized in the prostate gland. Why in this age aktiviziruyutsya problems with men's health?
The symptoms of prostatitis, which first drew the attention of a man are usually the following:
- Early in the disease, when the prostate only began to increase in volume, it only slightly compresses the ureter, which surrounds like a ring on your finger. Thus, one of the first symptoms of prostatitis would be considered a small narrowing of the ureter, and, consequently, a certain obstruction to the passage of urine, difficulty urinating.
- The resulting problem is frequent urination. In the beginning this manifestation is not a concern, the man never wakes up to this at night, can stand for emptying the bladder once or twice in the night and chalk it up to an extra Cup of tea for dinner. But, over time, the intervals between urination will be greatly reduced.
- The presence of pain in the abdomen is one of the first symptoms of prostatitis. They can be a different feeling, pulling, pressing, bursting, disturbed they are usually in the late afternoon or after any power loads.
- Minor disorders of erection and premature ejaculation, of course, take any man and his partner some concern, but it is just as often blamed on fatigue and stress.
Please note
Such insignificant at first glance, disorders of the male urogenital system, without due attention, from both the patient and the physician, will certainly result in great problems, which chronic prostatitis. Inflammation of the prostate gland can be acute, bacterial form and, in the case of a running disease in its complicated, the chronic form.
Symptoms of prostatitis in the acute phase of bacterial shapes:
- High body temperature, long holding time in the area of 39 degrees.
- Chills.
- General weakness, body aches, painful condition.
- Headaches.
- Nausea, in severe cases reaching to recurrent vomiting.
- Severe pain in the perineum, lower abdomen, and periodically in lower back and testicles. Pain is often worse when the stool, as well during bowel movements can appear mucous discharge from the urethra.
- When digital rectal prostate examination by a doctor examination can be identified the increase in prostate volume, change its structure, often palpated various formations and scars.
- Frequent, difficult, painful urination. Due to the fact that an inflamed prostate too hard squeezes the urethra, the man have to strain to start urination, because of the same reason and in some cases the bladder is not completely emptied, which does not bring the desired relief after visiting the toilet.
- Sharp pain during ejaculation.
If not treat prostatitis at this stage, it is guaranteed to develop into the chronic stage. Chronic prostatitis is divided into three main types:
- Chronic infectious prostatitis.
- Chronic noninfectious prostatitis.
- Chronic asymptomatic prostatitis.
Symptoms of prostatitis in its asymptomatic form, as is clear from the name, are not available, the patient complains of nothing, is absolutely the same lifestyle as usual. It is found in most cases by accident, in taking blood tests and finding of the increased amount of white blood cells or bacteria, or by taking a biopsy of the prostate.
The symptoms of prostatitis when it is chronic non-bacterial form:
- Abacterial prostatitis has another name, namely "chronic pelvic pain syndrome". Pain frequent, repetitive, but varied both in smaller and in a big way. Localization of pain is intermittent, it can be very prostate, perineum, and pain in the tailbone, testicles, the male sexual organ. During defecation pain are concentrated in the anus and rectum. The increase in the intensity of the pain occurs even at low loads.
- Disorders of sexual desire, decreased libido, erection unstable, periodically disappearing in the process of copulation, as well as early ejaculation.
- Violation of urination. The urge to emptying of the bladder is quite common, but completely empty it does not always work — you have to put in the effort. The stream of urine becomes much thinner, this is due to the presence of primary sclerosing changes of the ureter in the area of the prostate.
- Depression, mild or severe depression, lethargy, insomnia, or, conversely, drowsiness and fits of anger — is possible, the manifestations of psychological disorders in men suffering from prostatitis.
Symptoms of prostatitis in its chronic infectious form:
- Pain syndrome in this case depends entirely on the degree of aggravation of the disease in a given time. With peak concentrations of bacteria pain dull, nagging, continuous, localized in a groin, scrotum, in the lower part of the abdomen, worse in the sitting position (especially when on a hard surface), urination, defecation and ejaculation.
- During remission, a period of weakening or complete disappearance of other symptoms of prostatitis in its chronic bacterial form, impaired urination, or rather the voltage when you try to empty the bladder and the inability to do this fully is the only symptom that remains with a man in this disease. At the time of aggravation is often a man completely deprived of the ability to urinate, as the prostate is just inflamed blocks the passage of urine in the urethra or urine flows drop by drop, literally.
- The feeling of stretching and pain in the bladder also often accompany the disease in the acute phase. The stagnation of urine favors the development of infections and the formation of salt microcrystals, injuring the mucous wall of the bladder. Urination in the urine are observed filaments and flakes are white in color.
- Often there is prolonged erection during sleep, but at the moment of intercourse, she often becomes so that to complete sexual intercourse is not no way. If this happened, you may experience sharp pain during or immediately after orgasm, and the ejaculate can be seen, the impurities of the blood.
In a clinical exacerbation of prostatitis may be cases of acute reaction to the inflammatory process in the prostate gland, without accurate diagnosis and proper, timely and adequate treatment, leading to such complications as blood poisoning and even local areas of suppuration in the body of the prostate. Treatment at home is possible only after consultation with a specialist, the price of the issue is your health.

Symptoms of many diseases are similar, for example, the urination disorder may be as in prostatitis and prostate adenoma. Signs of any disease more specifically characterize it, as belong only to him, avoiding vague language. Common symptoms of prostatitis have their own features at each specific stage of the disease. For example, when running the acute form of inflammation of the prostate in this glandular-muscular organ can develop not just purulent inflammation, but also to form abscissae cavity. Often this state is accompanied by quite high, not declining temperature, sharp pains in the lower abdomen, suprapubic region, perineum, and upper thighs.

Man may notice how during bowel movement urethral mucus.
