Prostatitis and Oncology

Prostatitis is the most common disease that progresses in males, and it does not matter if it is an older man or a very young guy. Disease of the prostate gland is always the least expected, but the overwhelming majority of men do not notice or do not want to notice the manifestations of the first characteristic symptoms.

Clinical studies have shown that prostatitis is closely related to prostate cancer, since failure to treat or neglect the problem is fraught with consequences such as intraepithelial neoplasia. It leads to changes in tissue tissues, which form the primary form of pathology, when prostatitis actively turns into cancer.

Ways to recognize prostatitis symptoms

With such a dangerous disease as prostatitis, the inflammatory process in the prostate gland is activated. It is a special gland in a man's body that sits directly above the bladder and is responsible for the release of small amounts of sperm. Such inflammatory processes are often triggered by previously introduced infections or similar factors from the outside. If the disease worsens, it is characterized by symptoms, ignoring which chronic prostatitis manifests itself.

Prostatitis can be found even in elderly men. The process of infection entering the prostate gland is extremely rapid, since microbes that affect the flora of inflammatory processes in the body penetrate the prostate very quickly, and the further development process can last for many years, until a man reveals symptoms indicating the presence of a disease. But in this case, there may be a threat of a smooth flow of ordinary prostatitis into a chronic form, the treatment of which requires long-term therapeutic manipulations.

Every man needs to steadily observe the processes taking place in the body in order to determine the symptoms of the disease in time and begin immediate treatment.

There are such signs of prostatitis:

• feeling chilled or feverish;
• dull pain in the pelvis and lower spinal vertebrae;
• acute pain when passing urine;
• signs of bedwetting, difficulty urinating;
• spotting spotting during urination;
• constant palpable fullness of urea;
• violation of the spheres of the reproductive system;
• erectile dysfunction;
• no offspring.

Classification of pain

Pain is called one of the very first symptoms of a possible disease of the prostate gland. In order to determine the degree and type of the disease, you need to determine the nature of the painful sensations.

Pain can be classified like this:

• sharp cutting pains;
• dull pulling pain;
• feeling of pressing pain;
• bursting pain, etc.

Determining the nature of painful sensations gives a man a small picture even about the grounds on which the disease was built. A man can get detailed information about his disease only by carefully examining the place that signals a threat to his health.

Most often painful sensations occupy the local part in such places:

• the perineal area (located between the anus and the root base of the phallus);
• pubic area (often pressing pain in the pubic region);
• urethra;
• scrotum;
• the sacrum or lumbar region (men are used to confusing pain in a similar place with sciatica or local colds).

Each man is individually tied to only one painful picture, which is periodically repeated during exacerbations. It should be remembered that each organism has different factors and causes of the disease, therefore, in one man, pain can be localized only in one part of the body, and in another - in all parts of the body named above. Also, pain can have a return, for example, pain, concentrated in the lower back or scrotum, has the ability to give to the abdomen or affect the musculoskeletal system.

A knowledgeable professional doctor can talk about the form and nature of the disease, determining the type and place of localization of pain. If, for example, we take a running, constantly changing location pain, then we can say that we mean a non-infectious chronic disease of the prostate gland. And if the painful sensation, bursting from the inside and constant, not periodic, there is a burning sensation - this sign indicates that an infection has been activated that can turn into cancer.

Prostate cancer and its difference from prostatitis

By studying the nature and clinical manifestations, it is possible to determine by the distinctive features such types of prostatitis:

• Bacterial inflammation of the prostate gland. It can develop as a consequence of infection with certain microorganisms - chlamydia, gonococcus, etc. The inflammatory process covers the tissue of the glands, without leaving the capsule space.
• Infectious inflammation of the prostate gland. It is an acute viral disease, the main causative agent of which tend to be infections that are transmitted during intercourse. Inflammatory processes affect all functions of the urethra: urethral canals, vas deferens, bladder tissue, and so on.
• Fibrous inflammation of the prostate gland. During the spread of this type of inflammation in the body, the growth of the prostate is accelerated by 2 times. The disease has irreversible consequences that cannot be cured with medication. The only effective cure is surgery by removing tissue.
• Calculous inflammation of the prostate gland. In this disease, irritating factors for tissues are so strong that they induce stone formation in the structures of the glands. It is calculous inflammation of the prostate gland that often indicates the possibility of developing oncology. Chronic inflammation of the prostate gland. It is one of the most insidious diseases, which tends to not manifest itself clinically. For the development of such inflammation, absolutely any infection, possibly even a cold, can be the impetus. Chronic prostatitis entails reasons that rapidly develop the disease immediately after the appearance of an infectious focus.
• Congestive inflammation of the prostate gland. It is most often observed in men who lead a sedentary lifestyle. This is the most common diagnosis today, which is made literally every third sick man.

It is worth remembering that some types of inflammatory processes in their symptoms are similar to the development of cancer. Additionally, they are characterized by a febrile state, body temperature 37.1-37.4. In this case, an immediate differential study is required in order to establish an accurate diagnosis and proceed with immediate treatment.

Is it possible to convert prostatitis to cancer

If you start inflammation of the prostate, you can be sure that sooner or later it will turn into an oncological disease. As soon as a man notices the first signs of the manifestation of the disease, it is immediately required to prescribe competent and adequate drug therapy. If prostatitis is not treated, the percentage of the probability of its transition to a malignant form is 34-46%.

In addition to the development of an oncological malignant tumor, the inflammatory process negatively affects the structure of tissues and the performance of organs located near the diseased organ. Violation of the active work of organs or the modification of structural tissues (carcinoma) are observed as the primary stage of cancer. That is why, if you deal with the treatment of any subspecies of prostatitis in time, apply competent preventive and therapeutic measures in a timely manner, you can prevent the development of a malignant tumor.

Prostate cancer or inflammation - diagnostic methods

The clinical manifestation, as well as the symptoms of cancer and inflammation of the prostate gland, are uniformly the same.

As soon as a patient comes to the clinic with a complaint, it is required to make a differential diagnosis, while using instrumental research methods:
