Burning sensations in the prostate gland

The small size of the prostate can cause a lot of discomfort for men. This is due to the occurrence of inflammatory processes in the organ. Disturbing symptoms: burning sensation in the prostate, itching sensations, pain syndrome are the first signals of the pathological state of the organ. What causes such phenomena and what to do if they occur?

What are the types of itching and burning

Itchy symptoms of burning sensation in the anal canal indicate the occurrence of cracks, ulcers, wounds associated with a pathological process in the intestine. Diseases may not manifest themselves in any way and may not have different symptoms, until the process enters the exacerbated stage of prostatitis. Burning sensation with acute prostatitis becomes more pronounced. This suggests that the immune system does not cope well with the inflammatory process in the prostate gland.

Itching with prostatitis is of two types:

• Primary - the cause of the outbreak of pathology is difficult to recognize. Unpleasant discomfort occurs in the stronger sex between the ages of 28-55.
• Secondary - a harbinger of some kind of disease. To eliminate the discomfort and the cause of the pathology, you should contact a specialist to receive appointments for a comprehensive study, which determine the main factor of the disease.

Prostatitis of an infectious nature

A burning sensation is felt with prostatitis when the pathology has an infectious origin. This is due to the fact that an infection has penetrated to the organ, which caused the inflammatory process. These can be fungi, viruses, microorganisms. A burning sensation with itching indicates that the pathogenic flora is rapidly multiplying and growing.

The infectious nature of prostatitis is acute and chronic, the disease affects men from 23 years old.

The most common pathogens:

• virus;
• fungus;
• staphylococcal bacillus;
• chlamydia;
• gonococcal bacillus;
• intestinal pathogen.

The prostate gland in men weakens for the following reasons:

• having frequent or rare sexual intercourse;
• promiscuous sex, with frequent change of partners;
• early termination of sexual intercourse;
• stagnation in the male gland.

Prostate congestion

Due to stagnation, a chronic form of prostatitis occurs. This disease is much more difficult to treat than the acute course of the disease. The scheme of therapeutic therapy involves the use of a whole range of procedures and sessions. These are diet food, physiotherapy procedures, the use of medications, massage of the prostate, therapeutic exercises.

Infection of the partner occurs when prostatitis of a fungal or bacterial nature is diagnosed. When inflammation of the organ has arisen due to stagnant processes, then women are not threatened with infection.

Why do itchy symptoms appear

When the prostate organ itches, for men it is a strong shock, especially when itching occurs in a public place. Patients pay little attention to this symptomatology as a pathology. They are sure that this is simply happening against the background of a shaved area, discussion in tight underwear, chafing. These misconceptions lead to the fact that patients do not immediately seek medical help, which aggravates their situation. Prolonged disregard of symptoms leads to the transition of prostatitis into a chronic form.

The main reasons for itchy symptoms in the urethral canal, anus, scrotum:

• incorrect hygiene procedures;
• presence of pinworms;
• frequent constipation;
• pathological processes of cutaneous origin;
• pubic lice;
• using salt laxatives;
• scented toilet paper;
• the appearance of hemorrhoidal cones;
• obesity;
• diseases of the liver, pancreas.

Itching in the genital area can not only be due to the onset of prostatitis, but also due to the development of other diseases. Therefore, it is so important for such manifestations to make an appointment with a specialized specialist. To do this, the urologist will make an examination, prescribe the necessary tests and other studies.

Painful symptoms of the prostate

A prostate gland with pathological manifestations can have a different clinical picture. All the signs of the disease do not appear immediately, but they can occur on an increase. Discomfort depends on the type of pathogen that triggered the onset of prostatitis. Most often it is hormonal imbalance, the age category of patients, the state of the central nervous system.

Common symptoms include:

• disturbed sleep;
• weakness;
• quick fatigability;
• sudden mood swings;
• poor performance;

Such symptomatology rarely alarms the patient. Usually men endure these conditions as life cataclysms.

At the next stage, vegetative disorders are noted, increased sweating, itchy symptoms in the buttocks, groin. A man becomes hot-tempered, sullen, aggressive, in some cases, thin-lashed, faint-hearted.

Symptoms of a local nature are added much later.

These are unpleasant sensations, namely:

• pain in the lower peritoneal region;
• painful discharge of urine;
• burning sensation in the urethral canal;
• erectile and urinary dysfunction;

Sometimes the symptomatology begins to show the pathological process much later, expressed in unpleasant discomfort at the bottom of the peritoneum during the outflow of urine. Burning sensation in the urethral canal, erectile and urinary dysfunction is possible.

Intense symptoms are constant pulling pains until the syndrome intensifies. Such pain is relieved only with the use of pain relievers. Most often, patients complain of pain in the testicles, lumbosacral region (as in sciatica).

How pathology is diagnosed

Before prescribing an effective treatment regimen, men are seen by a urologist, gastroenterologist, proctologist, nutritionist, dermatologist. After identifying and excluding additional pathologies, the attending specialist prescribes the delivery of tests and other studies.

Typically, diagnostics require:

• results of general urine and blood tests;
• plasma sugar test;
• analysis of feces for the presence of parasites with dysbiosis.

Based on the patient's complaints, the specialist prescribes anoscopy, colonoscopy. If a bowel problem is found, then the patient's anal canal is examined for hemorrhoid bumps.

When patients experience an increase in painful symptoms after drinking alcohol, this indicates an inflammatory process in the area of the extreme rectum. To make an accurate diagnosis, the doctor takes into account the state of the endocrine system, the skin.

Elimination of itchy symptoms of prostatitis

The disappearance of burning and itching in the anal passage can occur and in no way appear for several years. However, this does not mean that the disease has receded. Symptoms will reappear at the first exacerbations. Prostatitis lends itself only to complex treatment. Itching and burning are treated with such agents as Hydrocortisone, Fucicort, Celestoderm.

Manifestations of the chronic course of prostatitis are treated with Uroprost. Before using any remedy to eliminate itching and burning, you need to make sure that the man does not have an allergic reaction to any component of the medicines.

Rectal suppositories are perfect for relieving pain and burning. To date, the pharmacy chain sells a large number of all kinds of medicinal candles. Some suppositories can cause an allergic reaction in the form of itching in the anal canal and urethra. Then the specialist recommends replacing the product with another medication that will not irritate the epidermis.

Treatment for anal irritation

For the treatment of anal irritation, you need to consult a specialist. During the treatment of pathological manifestations, you should not comb the anal area, you should also refuse to take hot baths.

The anal area should not be wet, as this phenomenon can only aggravate the situation. Hygiene procedures should be performed using hypoallergenic shampoos and gels. They do not contain dyes, flavors, fragrances. You can use ordinary baby soap.

When the burning and itching of the anal canal are caused by allergies or have a prolonged course, you must stop using toilet paper. After each trip to the toilet, you should wash yourself with warm water, then blot with a personal intimate napkin or towel. For intense pain, the anal canal should be treated with petroleum jelly.
