Purulent discharge in prostatitis - causes, diagnosis, treatment

There are many types of prostate inflammation. purulent prostatitis is one of the most dangerous and painful types in men. Usually, the pathology is observed in middle-aged patients living a promiscuous sex life.

Causes of purulent prostatitis

Purulent prostatitis in men, according to the conclusions of urologists, is the result of advanced inflammation, when the patient postpones the visit to the doctor. There are several classifications of the disease. According to the form of the course, acute and chronic are distinguished. Based on cause, infectious and stagnant.

The first form has several subtypes:

• Bacterial;
• Caused by fungi;
• provoked by viruses.

Lack of treatment for purulent prostatitis causes a number of complications, some of which threaten human life. Most dangerous:

• Kidney pathology;
• Development of inflammation in the bladder;
• Difficulty in urine excretion;
• Sepsis;
• Complete loss of fertility.

Stages of purulent inflammation of the prostate gland:

• Catarrhal - occurs against a background of low immunity and usually accompanies colds of viral and infectious etiology;
• Follicular - develops in the absence of previous therapy;
• Parenchymal - provokes pathological changes in the tissues of the gland;
• Absolute - advanced (one might say critical stage).

The last two forms are considered life-threatening for men. This is due to the following reasons:

• Increase in body temperature up to 40 degrees;
• The intensity of pain intolerable without analgesics;
• Swelling of the prostate becomes maximal;
• The tissue damage is deep and extensive;
• Defecating and passing urine becomes extremely difficult;
• Feces and urine change their structure, impurities and mucus appear, often there are false urges to empty the bowels and bladder;
• Localization of pain expands and begins to radiate to the area of the hips, kidneys, spine;
• The likelihood of autopsy opening is significantly increased;
• Pus is released from the urethral canal regardless of urination;
• There is a general poisoning of the body with decay products of leukocytes, toxins secreted by microbes and bacteria.

The main reasons for the development of such a dangerous form include:

• The penetration of bacteria from the urethra into the tissue of the glandular organ is the most common way of developing purulent inflammation of the prostate;
• Long-term exposure to cold on the body as a whole or separately on the prostate gland;
• Increase in the activity of pathogenic microorganisms due to a decrease in general immunity;
• Injury caused by inadvertent urinary tract examinations;
• The entry of harmful microorganisms through the blood from other infected organs.

Diagnosis: Symptoms and Signs

Depending on the stage and causes of the onset, the symptoms of purulent prostatitis may vary. In general, it is possible to determine the presence of a disease in a man by certain signs.

• Pain in the lower abdomen. Soreness radiates to the thighs, spine, perineum;
• Frequent urge to empty the bladder;
• The body temperature rises;
• Urination becomes infrequent;
• Discharge from the urethra is systematic, pus is excreted with an admixture of secretion;
• There is a sensation of a foreign body in the intestines, constant urge to defecate is recorded;
• Mucus appears in the anus.

Clarification of the diagnosis is possible after conducting the following studies:

• Rectal examination of the prostate gland;
• Laboratory analyzes of urine, blood, prostatic secretions;
• Ultrasound of the prostate.

In certain cases, you may need:

• Biochemical analyzes;
• Cystoscopy;
• Kidney X-ray;
• CT and MRI.

Purulent prostatitis: treatment

Comprehensive treatment of purulent prostatitis includes the mandatory intake of medications aimed at suppressing bacterial activity and effective pain relief.

In addition, natural preparations are often prescribed that support the functioning of the prostate and restore its activity. In addition, depending on the severity of the disease, additional treatments may be recommended.

Medicines

When prostatitis with pus is captured at the initial stage, therapy is carried out strictly in a hospital, but using conservative methods.The main effect on pathogenic microorganisms is exerted by antibiotics, among which the most effective are:

• Cifran OD for oral administration;
• Ceftriaxone - powder for the manufacture of injection solution;
• Ofloxacin - available in tablets.

Antibiotics are prescribed in a course after elimination of symptoms that cause acute purulent prostatitis. Puffiness and soreness are relieved by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and anesthetic suppositories or antispasmodics.

Normalization of urination is achieved through the use of alpha-adrenergic receptor blockers. They help to reduce hypertonicity of the smooth muscles of the bladder and, accordingly, improve the outflow of urine.

Supplements

Herbal and animal products made exclusively from natural ingredients have no contraindications, but they have a beneficial effect on the functionality of the prostate gland and eliminate the causes of the disease.

The most effective dietary supplements:

• Prostodin - relieves swelling, destroys pathogens, increases immunity;
• HEALTHY cream - accelerates cell regeneration, increases metabolic processes and blood circulation in the small pelvis;
• Predstanol - normalizes diuresis, prevents exacerbation, relieves pain, restores sexual function;
• ProstEro - reduces pain, normalizes temperature, improves urination;
• PredstaVit - relaxes the muscles of the prostate gland, reduces the manifestations of negative symptoms, restores microflora;
• Afala - removes congestion in the pelvic organs, tones the prostate, reduces it in size;
• Prostatilen - inhibits the activity of leukocytes, restores potency, prevents blood clots;
• Zeroprost - inhibits the activity of infectious agents, increases blood supply to the tissues of the glandular organ, reduces pain during urination;
• Prostamol Uno - strengthens the function of the prostate, normalizes urine output.

Folk remedies
