Symptoms for inflammation of the male gland

How is prostatitis manifested? The disease in question is caused by inflammation of the male, glandular organ - the prostate. The disease is accompanied by frequent emptying of urea with traces of plasma and purulent discharge, pain in the genital area, sexual disorders, in some cases with blockage of urine outflow.

Some patients undergo prostate ablation, which provokes inflammation in the testicles, epididymis, and may result in infertility. One of the complications of the disease is the penetration of the infection along the paths of ascent to the upper urinary tract. In this case, the development of cystitis, pyelonephritis may occur. The development of prostatitis begins after the ingress of antiagents to the tissues of the prostate from the urinary or genital tract or against the background of remote diseases (flu, tonsillitis, pneumonia, furunculosis).

The causes of prostatitis are caused not only by harmful microflora. With weakened immunity, the glandular organ does not have the strength to defend itself, since it does not work in full accordance with its functionality. Incorrect functioning of the gland leads to stagnation of the secretory fluid produced by the organ itself, this leads to the arrest of the venous ducts. Once bacteria accumulate, they begin to damage the prostate.

In the older generation, the causes of inflammation are pathogenic bacteria, which multiply against the background of reduced immunity. In particular, it can be E. coli, staphylococcus, streptococcus.

Manifestation of prostatitis

The manifestation of the disease may be similar to other pathologies of the urinary and genital area, however, men should be attentive to their health, and at the first signs of malfunctioning of the pelvic organs, the help of qualified specialists is required.

The first symptom of malfunctioning of the gland is a violation in the process of urine emission. If the prostate gland is examined on time, the cause of the pathological phenomenon is established and adequate treatment is carried out, then the disease will not continue, and even more so, the patient will avoid complications. For example, the chronic course of the disease. Prostatitis is expressed by the main symptoms.

Signs by which pathology is recognized

The most common symptoms of prostatitis:

• impaired process of emptying urea;
• sexual problems;
• painful feelings in the pelvic region.

What are the reasons for this symptomatology in prostatitis? Soreness and discomfort can occur due to the fact that changes occur in the tissues of the glandular organ. In prostatitis, painful symptoms are caused by an enlarged prostate gland. In this case, pressure occurs on the channel of emission of liquid, which leads to a narrowing of the lumen.

Such symptoms of prostatitis are observed in problem urination and impaired outflow of urine. Over time, with the development of the pathology of the prostate gland, it is marked by manifestations of sexual dysfunctions, with their gradual aggravation.

What symptoms should alert you?

Patients should watch themselves and pay attention to the appearance of all signs:

• difficulty urinating;
• painful symptoms in the pelvic organs;
• uncomfortable bowel movements;
• an admixture of plasma or purulent discharge in urine;
• weak erection;
• mucous rejection from the urethral canal;
• general weakness of the body.

What types of prostatitis occur

The disease is infectious and stagnant, acute and chronic. An infectious disease is an acute and chronic form. Infectious disease occurs in acute and chronic course. A congestive disease - only in a chronic one. Acute signs are always pronounced.

Due to the fact that acute symptoms are unbearable, men seek medical help faster, feeling sorry for themselves. Chronic disease has a slow development, is characterized by increasing symptoms. Precisely because the symptoms are not pronounced, patients turn to a urologist when the signs of prostatitis speak for themselves or after complications are manifested.

The cause of an infectious disease is pathogenic flora, which provokes an inflammatory process. Pathogenic microorganisms enter the prostate through the urinary tract. Due to cystitis or urethritis, the infectious flora spreads from which the prostate suffers. In principle, symptoms of prostatitis can occur due to any infectious source or weak immunity of a man.

Symptoms of pathology with an acute course

Manifestation of symptoms of prostate inflammation in acute course:

• obstructed, painful outflow of urine;
• frequent urge to urinate;
• painful syndrome in the groin area;
• weak erection;
• temperature;
• general malaise;
• rejection of masses from the urethra.

Symptoms of an acute infectious course of prostatitis cannot be overlooked. With a bacterial infection, a yellowish discharge is observed (with emptying of the intestines and urea). In case of acute symptoms, in patients with prostatitis, several stages of the pathology are distinguished.

• Catarrhal.
• Follicular.
• Parenchymal.
• Absolute.

Catarrhal course - pronounced lesions of individual lobes of the gland with the first violations of the urinary process, in which tissue edema occurs, which provokes the onset of stagnation and the progression of the disease.

The follicular course is marked by the following symptoms: focal suppuration in the lobes of the gland, pain in the interstitial region radiating to the groin, a serious violation of the outflow of fluid, fever. The considered form of prostatitis must be secured by treatment, otherwise the disease goes to the rest of the organ, including parenchymal tissues.

Parenchymal course - with this type of prostatitis, there is fever, fever, high temperature, severe soreness of the groin, perineum, frequent and painful emptying of urea. This stage of the disease is dangerous with a serious complication - blockage of urine output, which requires urgent help. If pus comes out into the urinary tract, rectum or urethra, it can lead to sepsis.

Characteristics of chronic prostatitis

Signs of symptoms of acute prostatitis require prompt diagnosis and adequate treatment. Immediate treatment is necessary to prevent the chronic stage of the disease. If we talk about a sluggish illness, it doesn't matter, even during it there are exacerbations that need to be paid attention to.

With prostatitis without pronounced signs, the symptoms are intermediate in nature, the pain is not as severe as during the acute stage.

Chronic inflammation of the prostate affects patients who have congestion in the area of organs located in the small pelvis and prostate. Moreover, stagnation is dangerous for both venous and prostatic localization. With venous stasis, microcirculation is disturbed, with secretory - a decrease in the functioning of the gland occurs. The prostate gland does not begin to work at full strength.

Symptoms of pathology with a chronic course

Prostatitis chronic causes symptoms:

• aching soreness of the abdomen, appendages, testicles, perineum, rectum;
• decreased sexual desire;
• more frequent toilet use;
• pain during the erudite state of the penis;
• Difficulty ejaculating.

For reasons of a bacterial nature, rejection in the form of discharge from the urethra is observed. Pathology itself is considered an insidious disease. With such diseases, you can not self-medicate. A specialized specialist should deal with a neglected prostate. Very often, pathology does not depend on a man's attention to personal health. An asymptomatic clinic of the disease after provoking factors, is formed very quickly.

Pain syndrome of prostatitis

Diagnosis of prostatitis and signs of pathology are not marked by pain of the glandular organ itself. With prostatitis, the nerve endings of the organ react to inflammation. This is due to the anatomical location of the male gland in relation to the nerve roots, therefore the painful impulse is transmitted to the organs located in the small pelvis, which explains the appearance of pain in various zones.

Localization of Prostatitis symptoms:

• in the lower abdomen;
• sacro-vertebral region;
• the scrotum;
• between.

The painful characteristic is due to the intensity, spread of inflammation, a feature of the male body. Sometimes, even the slightest inflammation contributes to the cause of the strongest pain syndrome in patients, in other patients, intense inflammation can proceed without much sensation.

Treatment must be started in any case. Without carrying out therapeutic measures to eliminate prostatitis, diseases are subject to progression. With the progression of the pathology, the pains gradually intensify, sometimes men simply cannot stand it.

For what reasons are the pain worsening?

• physical strain;
• hypersexual life;
• prolonged abstinence from intercourse.

The characteristic pain of prostatitis is similar to the sensations in urethritis, cystitis, osteochondrosis, this explains the fact that in order to identify prostatitis, a diagnosis is required, and for this, an examination is carried out. When testosterone levels are high, the body does not feel strong symptoms, since the male hormone blocks pain. Men of active age do not immediately recognize the onset of the disease.

Problematic urination

The disturbed process of fluid outflow always warns of the development of prostatitis. This symptom is inherent in both acute and chronic course of the disease.

What are the symptoms of impaired urination?

• weak urine pressure (recognized by the stream);
• before the act of emptying urea, the man tenses;
• manifestation of frequent urging, sometimes painful;
• during outflow, there is stinging, pain and burning;
• after the process of emitting liquid, there may be discomfort in the interstitium;
• if the lumen of the canal is narrowed, urinary stasis is formed.

Factors provoking problem urination:

Disorders of the urine outflow process have different intensities. Damaged tissue cannot fully conduct impulses of nerve endings. This phenomenon can stop the outflow of fluid, even before its emptying of urea.

Treatment of prostatitis is simply necessary, since the pathology provokes stagnation of urine, worsens the outflow process, changes the sensitivity of the organ (violation of muscle tissue tone). Very often, patients develop urea hyperactivity, in which the strongest pressure occurs, even with a small filling of the organ with liquid. The brain, receiving such a signal, gives the command to urinate, the urge can be so strong that men become incontinent.

Incontinence occurs only with old and advanced prostatitis (chronic), which has not received timely treatment.

Erectile dysfunction as a sign of prostatitis

Problematic sexuality is very painful for men. Sexual weakness is perceived by men as very painful. In acute prostatitis, recovery is faster. Along with this, erectile dysfunction disappears. The chronic form takes longer to heal, which explains the characteristic persistence of male impotence, which is more difficult to cope with.

How are sexual disorders manifested?

Symptoms and treatment of erectile dysfunction begins with recognition by the following:

• rejection of light masses from the urethra;
• admixture of plasma in semen;
• low libido;
• poor sperm quality and activity;
• pain during erection and ejaculation;
• decreased sensuality during orgasms;
• frequent lack of orgasm;
• early semen eruptions;
• impotence.

The effect of prostatitis on sexual functionality is due to hormonal imbalance and impaired central nervous system function. The reason for this failure is damaged tissue during inflammation.

Impaired nerve conduction

Erection and ejaculation occur under the influence of prostate receptors (sending appropriate impulses). This results in decreased erections, problematic ejaculation, less sensual orgasms, and less pleasure in sexual intercourse.

For this reason, men feel pain during erection and ejaculation.

Hormonal imbalance

Prostatitis should be treated without fail, since this organ is the second heart of the male population. The glandular organ is responsible for the production of testosterone and the conversion of the male hormone to dihydrotestosterone.

With a normal testosterone level, men have increased libido, increased sexual activity, persistent erection. The prostate, affected by inflammation, loses its normal functioning, testosterone is produced in insufficient quantities. For this reason, sexual performance is reduced.

Diagnosing prostate inflammation

Prostatitis symptoms adequate treatment: an accurate diagnosis is made by a urologist. The diagnosis depends on the recovery after the prescribed effective therapy. Prostatitis can be treated only after taking an anamnesis, since the pathology has similar symptoms to other diseases of the prostate, urinary and genital tract.

When collecting anamnesis, the following activities are carried out, consisting of:

• rectal examination;
• laboratory tests;
• transrectal ultrasound;
• urodynamic research;
• PSA testing;
• ureteroscopy;
• cystoscopy;
• biopsy.

Most often, urologists do not need to do all the research. Diagnostics are assigned to each patient separately, taking into account age, severity of the disease, form, concomitant diseases.Based on the results of the examination, the doctor determines how to treat the patient.

Carrying out medical manipulations

To treat inflammation of the prostate gland is required in a comprehensive manner. This is the best solution to your problem. The complex therapy scheme consists of several methods. The specific treatment is selected by a specialist, taking into account the form of the disease, the age threshold of the patient, the existing additional diseases and characteristics of the body, also play an important role in the selection of his treatment.

The use of drug treatment is applied taking into account the cause of the outbreak and the presence of symptoms.

Recommended medicines:

• antibiotic agents;
• antiviral, antibacterial medicines;
• non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs;
• alpha blockers;
• analgesics;
• means to relieve puffiness.

In addition to the use of tablets or injections, agents for local therapy are prescribed. These are suppositories that are inserted into the anal canal at the site of organ damage. With such treatment, you can quickly achieve the effectiveness of therapy and the fastest recovery.

Therapeutic effect using the stimulation method

Stimulation of the prostate gland is carried out by massaging it through the anal canal. Massaging of the prostate is prescribed in combination with a drug prescription, this allows the patient to recover faster. Thanks to digital rectal stimulation, microcirculation in the organ improves, stagnant secretory fluid is removed, and the effect of medications is enhanced. In addition to rectal stimulation, there is a technique for massaging the perineum (external procedures). External massage is most often prescribed for preventive purposes.

Minimally invasive manipulations

With these methods, it is possible to correct the problem organ. The use of minimally invasive techniques is prescribed in cases where the drug regimen did not bring the desired result.

One of these techniques is transurethral, microwave treatment. With the help of high temperatures, it is possible to achieve a reduction in the size of the male gland.

• Inflammatory processes are removed by ultrasound.
• Laser coagulation strengthens and renews local immunity.
• With the help of cryodestruction, inflamed tissue areas are eliminated, this is due to the effect of low temperature.
• Balloon dilatation of the urethra is indicated for mechanical dilatation of the canal by an inflating balloon.
• Surgical care is used in difficult situations when all other methods have not yielded adequate results. Operations are performed transurethically or openly.

In order to avoid incidental situations, men need to have annual examinations with a urologist. Routine examinations make it possible to timely identify the inflammation and tissue changes that have arisen, prescribe effective therapy, and avoid more serious consequences, for example, cancer.

Every man who has noticed changes during urine discharge should seek the advice of a doctor. It is impossible to postpone a visit to a urologist indefinitely, and even more so to self-medicate. This can lead not only to a protracted process, but also to irreparable, negative consequences. Sometimes men seek help when it is too late because the disease has turned into cancer. Unfortunately, the largest percentage of male deaths is due to prostate cancer.
