Prostatitis is one of the most common diseases among men.
Due to the special vulnerability of the prostate gland, which is also called the "second heart of a man", and its role in the male body system, according to statistics, half of men aged 25 to 55 suffer from this disease.
Almost always, a disease of the gland is accompanied by pain. With prostatitis, the legs, kidneys, stomach and even the head hurt. How to deal with it, we'll talk further.
Prostatitis syndromes in men include pain.
Pain occurs in almost 98% of cases. They have an extremely negative effect on the body, as they create severe discomfort, disrupt the quality of life, and interfere with labor and creative activity.
Therefore, these discomforts in prostate disease can be considered as a special and very important problem that needs to be addressed as a matter of priority.
It should be said that with a disease of the prostate gland, it is not the gland itself that hurts, which does not have nerve endings, but the nerve endings of other organs associated with it.
For this reason, the pain from its inflammation can have different localization.
The most common areas of pain with prostatitis are the groin and scrotum, directed to the lower abdomen.
At the same time, they are different in nature - from aching and long-lasting to, like injections, sharp, short-term.
As you know, any pain in the human body, in addition to discomfort, is also designed to report on the disease and its nature.
This fully applies to pain associated with the prostate. Their localization in one place or another indicates the nature of the disease of the prostate and, thus, helps to prescribe the treatment correctly.
Since the prostate gland is associated with other organs that have their own characteristics in the manifestation of pain, their types during inflammation are different.
What are the pains with prostatitis? Basically, they can be described as aching, long, short-term, sharp, stabbing, burning.
The main cause of pain in prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate and the associated processes of infectious damage to its tissues.
When the gland becomes inflamed, the inner layer of cells loses its strength and mixes with leukocytes, forming plugs in the ducts. Such plugs compress the vessels through which blood flows, and create pain during prostatitis.
So, pain in acute prostatitis is characterized by a sharp onset, burning during urination, pain in the perineum, scrotum, lower pelvis. This is due to the rapid swelling of the gland and blockage of the channels.
However, even with chronic inflammation, pain may be present, though of a "blurred" nature and breaking off under the guise of pain in other organs.
Where does it hurt with prostatitis? In the lower back and abdomen, lower back, scrotum.
Only an experienced doctor or an examination can accurately determine their true nature.
In the case of chronic pelvic pain syndrome (a non-bacterial form of inflammation of the prostate), the association of pain with prostatitis is established only after prolonged pain.
Such pains are relieved by painkillers in the form of tablets, suppositories, injections, massages and physiotherapy procedures, including hot herbal baths.
Below we will look at what hurts with prostatitis in men:
Pain in the back and lower back with prostatitis manifest themselves quite often. They can be both sharp short-term and aching lasting.
Some self-medicators confuse them with sciatica or other diseases of the back, which negatively affects the timing and quality of prostatitis treatment.
The cause of back pain is that the inflammatory process has gone beyond the prostate and affected the nerve endings located in the lower back. Such pain is characteristic of chronic prostatitis, as well as prostate adenoma.
Pain in the groin is one of the most common types of pain associated with prostate disease.
They are characterized by sharp rapid flashes of pain in the groin, often turning into aching pain in the ovaries. Their cause is swelling of the prostate and blockage of its ducts.
Pain in prostate disease, due to its connection with various internal organs, can have a variety of localization, including those associated with the stomach.
The danger of such pain lies in the fact that the stomach can hurt for other reasons.
Meanwhile, pain in the lower abdomen is one of the main symptoms that characterize acute prostatitis.
Therefore, pain with prostatitis in the abdomen cannot be taken lightly, but you should definitely consult a doctor.
The reason for abdominal pain with prostatitis is that the prostate gland is located in close proximity to the abdominal cavity and is connected with it by nerve endings.
Since the gland itself does not have nerve endings, it is not it that hurts, but neighboring organs, on which it presses due to an increase in size.
Pain in the abdomen with prostatitis is relieved with painkillers that are introduced into the body with the help of tablets, injections, suppositories and powders.
Despite the fact that anatomically, the prostate gland is not directly connected to the head, but being connected by nerve endings to nearby organs and the entire nervous system, prostatitis pain can also be transmitted to the head.
This circumstance is the cause of headaches in prostatitis, especially in its acute form. Headache with prostatitis is relieved by painkillers and a period of rest for the patient.
One type of pain in prostate disease is pain in the anus. They cause a lot of inconvenience to the patient.
Pain in the anus with prostatitis occurs due to the fact that the prostate passes through itself the nerve endings to other organs, including the anus. The nature of pain sensations is varied - from aching, and shooting, to burning. Most often, such discomfort is relieved with the help of painkillers.
If prostatitis hurts the kidneys and the right side, then the pain is characterized, most often, by an aching, protracted condition.
Causes of pulling pains in the side with prostatitis: a violation of the outflow of urine, leading to overflow of the bladder and, as a result, to its inflammation, which aggravates the disease of the prostate gland.
Such symptoms of prostatitis - pulling pain in the right side or in the kidneys are removed with painkillers in the form of tablets and injections.
How to get rid of prostatitis pain? Pain-relieving procedures for prostate disease are mandatory, since continued pain greatly complicates the life of the patient, and sometimes brings him severe suffering.
Various means are used for pain relief, priority among which is given to medications.
This is due to the fact that such means are scientifically and practically substantiated, and sometimes have a targeted effect.
In addition, they can be considered safe, as they have passed the appropriate clinical trials and are guaranteed for use in such cases.
If the pain does not go away after taking painkillers, the patient should immediately consult a doctor, as this circumstance may indicate a serious danger to his health.
Thus, from the foregoing, we can conclude that pain, with prostate disease, must be treated very carefully and responsibly. They not only bring discomfort, but are also able to report on the nature of the disease, which can help in the treatment.
Pain with prostatitis in men occurs later. They are characterized by the following disorders: chronic congestion, acute inflammation is observed, the process has gone beyond the prostatic capsule and moved to adjacent tissues.
The first manifestations, as a rule, are not long-term and disappear on their own. Men complain of some discomfort during intercourse and urination. The pain syndrome disappears after taking an analgesic or antispasmodic. Over time, the cramps become more intense and bring great suffering to the patient.
The nature of pain, their localization help to make an accurate diagnosis and differentiate pathologies in the work of the prostate from other diseases of the genitourinary system. Timely examination and detection of the inflammatory process increases the chances of a complete cure for the patient.
They indicate that the inflammatory process has gone beyond the prostatic capsule. The back can hurt due to advanced prostatitis, without stopping for several months. To relieve the syndrome is quite difficult. Severe pain in the lumbar region is relieved by the blockade of novocaine.
The insidiousness of the symptom lies in the fact that when it appears, the man himself falsely refers to other diseases with similar manifestations: sciatica, renal dysfunction. The following symptoms should alert a man:
With prostatitis, the lower back can hurt. However, this symptom is not typical for the initial stage of the disease. The manifestation is diagnosed at stages 2-3 of prostatitis.
A syndrome characteristic of almost all stages and forms of prostatitis. Pain in the lower abdomen and groin provoke changes caused by stretching of the prostatic capsule and deformities of the blood vessels. The inflammatory process leads to an increase in the volume of glandular tissues.
Discomfort in the groin is caused by concomitant diseases localized in the scrotum. In each case, the doctor will pay attention to other manifestations, collect an anamnesis.
Symptoms, depending on the location and nature, indicate the following internal changes:
The lower abdomen can hurt with prostatitis already in the early stages of inflammation, regardless of the form of the disease. Associated pathologies exacerbate the course of the disease. With problems in the rectum and the transition of the inflammatory process to this area, the patient is diagnosed with flatulence, bloating, loose stools and other abnormalities.
Pain in the perineum is more of a concern than the discomfort from bursting and heaviness in the lower abdomen. The catalyst for the syndrome is acute and chronic prostatitis. There is a possibility of cancer. Cancer occurs against the background of a chronic protracted process and has similar symptoms.
The symptom is diagnosed with adjacent inflammatory processes in the rectum. Prostatitis often causes hemorrhoids, provokes cracks in the anus and ulcers in the intestines. Pain indicates a deterioration in blood supply and the presence of related diseases.
The prostate is located so that it is close to the rectum. Deterioration of blood supply affects the vital activity and functionality of the adjacent organ. Pain in the coccyx, the feeling of a foreign object in the anus is evidence of chronic tissue inflammation.
The onset of symptoms is caused by impaired blood supply due to inflammation of the prostate gland. In the presence of an infectious factor, the legs may hurt due to the development of a concomitant disease - reactive arthritis. Pathology occurs against the background of long-term chronic bacterial inflammation, accompanied by disturbances in the functioning of the heart and kidneys.
Deterioration of blood circulation and lymph drainage leads to swelling in the legs. Pain is localized in the buttocks and is accompanied by convulsions. The patient often complains that his feet are cold. The symptom occurs due to insufficient blood supply to the limbs.
Pain in the muscles of the legs responds well to therapy and disappears after the elimination of the inflammation catalyst. An intense manifestation of a symptom is diagnosed with serious pathological changes in the work of the prostate. Pain syndrome accompanies cancer of the gland, reactive arthritis.
They are protracted. The main complaints are drawing pains in the right side. The cause of violations in the difficult outflow of urine. As a result of dysuric disorders, the inflammatory process passes to the neck and subsequently other tissues of the urea.
Another reason why the left or right side hurts with prostatitis is kidney disease. Inflammation of the prostate leads to damage to the entire genitourinary system. Most damage is done to the kidneys and bladder.
Prostatitis is accompanied by nephritis, stone formation, acute insufficiency. Damaged organs are determined by the localization of pain.
One of the most common manifestations of the disease. Cramps, pulling pains in the scrotum occur spontaneously. The disease is characterized by sharp outbreaks of manifestations, aggravated during sexual intercourse and erection.
Pain in the testicles accompany infectious and purulent prostatitis. With the latter, swelling and a sharp rise in temperature to 39-40 are diagnosed. When pressing on the head of the penis, purulent exudate is released.
Inflammation of the prostate gland is not always accompanied by characteristic symptoms.Pain, if it occurs, lasts from a few minutes to 2-3 months. Constant manifestations lead to insomnia, irritability, stress, which only aggravates the patient's condition, exacerbates the disease, and reduces the effectiveness of drug therapy.
If severe pain occurs with prostatitis, a man needs to ensure complete rest: put him to bed, give an anesthetic - an analgin tablet + No-Shpa. For chronic pain, you can use folk remedies.
It should be remembered that removing pain from prostatitis does not mean victory over the disease. To permanently eliminate the inflammatory process, you need to undergo a full course of treatment, including taking antibiotics, NSAIDs and, in some cases, hormones.
Medications are taken only as prescribed by a doctor. Long-term use of painkillers before visiting a urologist makes it difficult to differentiate the disease.
The prescribed medicines can be divided according to the principle of impact into several groups:
If the pain remains after the treatment of prostatitis, this indicates ineffective therapy. As a rule, the symptoms return within the first two months, require additional examination and the appointment of a new course of treatment, taking into account the actual needs of the patient.
Several traditional medicine recipes help with chronic pain syndrome:
Pumpkin seeds help prevent the onset of pain. Seeds are consumed raw, within 2-3 months. The active ingredients in the pumpkin normalize the main functions of the prostate and are considered a good preventive measure against exacerbation.
Before using any method of pain relief, you should consult a urologist. Some plants are strong allergens, others are incompatible with drugs prescribed for prostatitis. After eliminating the causes of inflammation of the gland, the pain will cease to bother the man, causing him discomfort, negatively affecting his life.
There are pains in the lower abdomen on the right in men due to a disease that affects the urinary, reproductive, digestive or nervous system. Sometimes pain is felt only on the right side of the abdomen, and sometimes in the groin, genitals, lower back, leg. The nature of the pain and its localization, as well as the time of occurrence will help determine the probable cause of the pathology.
It hurts in the lower abdomen on the right when there is a violation of work:
Unexpected, sharp, acute pain is possible due to trauma to internal organs, which happens with appendicitis, movement of stones in the kidneys, inflammation of the peritoneum, intestinal obstruction. With sluggish inflammatory processes, for example, with pyelonephritis, prostatitis, colitis, a gradual increase in pain is noted. Pulsating severe pain begins with dysfunctions, which are accompanied by intracavitary pressure above normal.
The causes of pain in the right side are varied. This is an inactive lifestyle, and malnutrition, and non-compliance with the rules of personal hygiene, and infections, and helminthic infestations. Some diseases are caused by genetics.
Diseases that cause pain in the right side of the abdomen, as a rule, do not have a specific clinic. Most of them lead to indigestion, changes in stool, fever, as an inflammatory process occurs. Therefore, it is better not to start self-treatment, but to seek qualified medical help.
In addition to the pain syndrome, there are additional signs that will help a man understand which body system has failed and which doctor needs to be consulted. So, if the pain in the abdomen is caused by a liver disease, then a consultation with a hepatologist is necessary, and if it is kidney dysfunction, then you need to contact a urologist.
Perhaps the pain in a man on the right lower abdomen is provoked by dysfunction of the kidneys, bladder, urethra or ureter. The most common are pyelonephritis, cystitis, urethriatitis, urolithiasis. If there is inflammation of the bladder, then stabbing pains appear.
Pyelonephritis is characterized by an increase in body temperature, weakness, headache, severe sweating, nausea and vomiting, difficulty urinating, and cloudy urine. With urolithiasis, blood may appear in the urine, nausea and vomiting are often noted.
If the stones come out of the right kidney or ureter, then dull aching pains in the lower abdomen will be felt on the right side, then they spill into the groin and genitals. With exacerbation, pulling pains in the side do not subside even during rest. Physical activity, vibration, and a lot of fluid you drink can provoke the release of stones.
If there are sharp paroxysmal pains in the region of the ureter, urethra, bladder, they affect the lower back and external genitalia, suprapubic, inguinal and iliac region, then most likely it is renal colic. It occurs due to the release of stones, which, due to their size, cannot freely pass along the paths and injure them.
In addition to aching pain in the side, cystitis is manifested by hyperthermia, nausea, vomiting, cloudy urine, frequent urination with burning, even after emptying, there is a feeling of fullness of the bladder, blood may be present in the urine. Re-inflammation occurs due to hypothermia, hormonal shifts, a decrease in the body's defenses, blood stagnation in the pelvic area.
At the first stage, bladder cancer almost does not give itself away, over time, blood appears in the urine, urination becomes painful and too frequent, pain in the lower back worries.
Intestinal function is negatively affected by a passive lifestyle, unbalanced diet, alcohol consumption, smoking, and stress. In case of disruption of the intestines, heaviness and bloating in the abdomen is felt, diarrhea begins (defecation from 3 to 20 times a day) or, conversely, constipation (the intestines do not empty for more than three days).
Pain in the right side in men may appear due to inflammation of the appendix, which is an appendage of the caecum and is located between the ilium and the navel. Pathology provokes acute pain, nausea, vomiting, fever. At first, the whole stomach hurts, but after two hours the pain intensifies and is felt in the right side at the very bottom.
The right side hurts badly and as a result of inflammation of the small intestine (ileitis). Pathology develops due to the activity of pathogenic microorganisms. It is characterized by pain in the side, flatulence, vomiting, nausea, diarrhea. If the disease has become chronic, then the mucous tissue of the small intestine will gradually atrophy.
In Crohn's disease, inflammation can develop anywhere in the digestive tract. If the lesion affects the large intestine, then the person feels severe discomfort in the right iliac region, nausea, fever, in addition, vomiting, diarrhea occurs, weight decreases sharply.
Ulcerative colitis results in intense, sharp pain on the lower left or right side, depending on where the inflammation is located in the colon.
If there are painful abdominal cramps, belching, constipation, vomiting, then this is probably due to intestinal obstruction. It occurs because motor skills are disturbed, as a result of which the accumulated food is not evacuated. The pain increases within two days, it is characterized as bursting, sharp.
As a result of heavy lifting or prolonged tension of the abdominal muscles, a hernia can occur, which can also cause pain in the right lower side. A hernia is more often found in the inguinal canal, in the same place where the spermatic cord is located. If its size is significant, then the protrusion can be seen when examining the groin area.
A small hernia is not visible, but it causes a pulling pain in the right side of the lower abdomen (especially during exercise, coughing or sneezing) and swelling of the scrotum. Remove the inguinal hernia surgically.If the hernia is incarcerated (the clinic is supplemented by reddening of the skin around the protrusion, fever, acute pain with burning during urination or defecation), peritonitis may begin, which can lead to blood poisoning and death.
Pain in the area of the stomach and intestines is caused by infectious diseases (botulism, tetanus, salmonellosis, cholera, dysentery) or helminthic invasion.
If the intestinal tumor has a right-sided localization, then it provokes moderate pulling or cramping pain in the right side of the abdomen. At first, the disease of education does not provoke painful sensations, but as it develops, neighboring tissues are affected. With calorectal cancer, constipation, bleeding from the anus, pain during bowel movements, there is also weight loss and a constant increase in basal temperature.
If the lower abdomen hurts moderately on the right, then this may indicate pathologies occurring in the liver. The organ does not have nerve endings, therefore, it does not hurt itself. As a result of inflammation, the size of the liver increases, and it begins to put pressure on neighboring organs, which leads to pain in the right side.
Deterioration of function is indicated by yellowing of the sclera and skin, indigestion, subfebrile temperature, discoloration of feces and urine. If there is an abscess, then sweating increases and muscle discomfort appears.
When the gallbladder and its ducts change, there is a sharp pain in the upper right side of the abdomen. Since smooth muscle tone arises, sensations migrate to the back, under the left shoulder blade, to the region of the heart.
Pathologies of the gallbladder, leading to pain in the right side:
Pain causes pancreatitis. This is a disease in which digestive enzymes do not enter the duodenum, but stagnate, contributing to the development of inflammation, which causes acute pain in the epigastrium, worsening of digestion. Discomfort can be felt in the right or left hypochondrium, in the lower back, back. The pain is much stronger with a sharp movement.
It hurts in the lower right abdomen in an adult male often due to prostatitis. The acute form of pathology occurs infrequently. Prostatitis is mostly asymptomatic, exacerbations occur 1-2 times a year. Discomfort appears in the area above the pubis and passes into the genitals.
The intensity of the pain varies from barely noticeable to unbearable depending on the degree of inflammation. It is characterized as pulling. When the disease is difficult and frequent urination, reduced potency. If you experience severe acute pain that does not subside within an hour, you should urgently seek medical help.
Pain in the right side of a man is even moderate and occurs periodically and requires attention from a specialist. Since the clinic of diseases often does not have specific symptoms, and sometimes the only sign of pathology is discomfort in the right side, a full examination is required to find out why the discomfort appeared.
