Signs of prostatitis in men

Almost all of us have heard about prostatitis, but not everyone knows what this word means.Prostatitis is an inflammatory disease of the prostate gland in men.The prostate gland is a purely male organ, therefore, prostatitis is a purely male disease.It should be noted that it is one of the most common among men in the field of urology.

The prostate is located below the bladder.This organ is responsible for the normal functioning of male organs and procreation.The gland also controls the level of hormones in the blood, such as steroid hormones, androgens and estrogens.

For various reasons, the prostate becomes inflamed, which leads to a decrease in the quality of life in the stronger sex.Let's try to figure out what are the causes of the disease and its symptoms.

Signs and symptoms of prostatitis

Prostate symptoms in men depend on the severity of the inflammation.Conventionally, 3 stages can be distinguished.

  1. There is a feeling of discomfort in the lower abdomen.Frequent urge to the toilet, a burning sensation when urinating.Disorders affect the sexual sphere (weak erection, painful ejaculation, premature ejaculation during an act with a partner, a man ceases to experience an orgasm).
  2. Exacerbation of the disease (acute prostatitis).This type of disease is characterized by high fever, general deterioration of the condition, pain when urinating, a burning sensation and chills, and a long delay in urination.
  3. The chronic form is characterized by an asymptomatic course of the disease or mild symptoms.The danger of this course of the disease is that it can worsen at any time under the influence of a certain number of reasons.

What causes inflammation of the prostate gland, and what are the reasons for the development of the disease?Let's try to figure it out.

Reasons

Medical representatives identify the following common causes of prostate disease in men:

  • weakening of immunity;
  • hypothermia of the legs and the body as a whole;
  • venereal diseases.Discharge appears from the head of the penis, painful wounds appear on it, and an unpleasant odor;
  • infections caused by various types of bacteria;
  • Stress situations, nervous stresses.

In addition, the cause may be tight, uncomfortable trousers.Inactivity, sedentary work.

Also among the reasons:

  • bad habits (alcohol, tobacco use);
  • unbalanced diet;
  • irregular sex life.

It is believed that alcohol and cigarettes reduce the overall resistance of the body to diseases.An exacerbating factor is also nutrition, poorly saturated with vitamins and minerals.

These are only the main reasons.Some doctors believe that in some cases the causes of prostatitis are hidden deep at the genetic level.

Species

Prostatitis has several classifications.Doctors divide it according to the causes of its occurrence, the nature and development of the disease, the duration and concentration of the source of the disease.Let's take a closer look.

Infectious prostatitis

The danger of this disease is that the infection affects not only the prostate, but also neighboring organs (bladder, rectum).

The main reason is the weakening of the body's immune forces, this can lead to this:

  • diseases (AIDS, tuberculosis, diabetes and others);
  • hypothermia;
  • stressful situations,
  • heavy physical activity;
  • bad habits, drug addiction.

During a decrease in the body's defenses, he is not able to fight many viruses.The following viruses can cause inflammation of the gland:

  1. The herpes virus provokes the disease.At the initial stage, the patient experiences high fever, headache, and weakness.Itchy rashes appear all over the body.Infectious prostatitis occurs.
  2. Cytomegala virus.When infected, the patient rises, signs appear in the form of nausea, vomiting.The head and joints hurt.Malaise and weakness.As a result, prostatitis occurs.
  3. The influenza virus can also cause inflammation of the prostate.Symptoms are high temperature, chills, weakness.

Important!It is sometimes difficult to recognize infectious prostatitis; first, general signs of the disease develop, and only after some time do local signs of prostatitis appear.

Bacterial prostatitis

Symptoms of bacterial prostatitis are easy to detect, we have already written about them.This species is divided into acute and chronic bacterial prostatitis.The causes are bacteria of some species.These include:

  • E. coli;
  • staphylococcus;
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa;
  • chlamydia and trichomonas;
  • Mycoplasma bacterium.

The infection enters the body in the following way:

  1. Through the urethra.This can happen with illegible sexual relations, as well as in the case of insufficient personal hygiene.
  2. Hematogenous route.The infection enters the prostate organ with infected blood.This happens with diseases such as, tonsillitis, pneumonia and others.
  3. Lymphogenous route.Bacteria enter the gland through lymph.This occurs in diseases such as tuberculosis, syphilis, and diabetes.

Signs of bacterial prostatitis can be divided into general and local.

These include:

  • deterioration in the quality of sexual life;

Chronic prostatitis

Many men do not pay much attention to the manifestations of prostatitis in the early stages.These are unobtrusive pain in the bladder area, frequent urge to go to the toilet.The stronger sex associates disruption of normal ejaculation and erection with age and is in no hurry to consult a doctor.Such a frivolous attitude leads to the development of symptoms of chronic prostatitis.

Symptoms of chronic disease are similar to those of other types of disease, however, they manifest themselves less sharply.

The danger is that chronic prostatitis often leads to the appearance of cystitis and pyelonephritis.Often the inflammation is distributed to the testicles and their appendages.This can lead to loss of male strength and infertility.

  • muscles and joint pain;
