What is prostatitis?
Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland, an organ that only men have. Located in the pelvic region, under the bladder. The urethra passes through the prostate.
Functions of the prostate:
- produces a secret gland (male sex hormone), which provides sperm motility and is part of the sperm;
- blocks the urethra during erection.
How to treat prostatitis depends on whether it is acute or chronic, but first, let's deal with the symptoms.
How to understand that you are sick
Feelings in acute prostatitis:
- high fever, chills;
- pain when urinating, when drop by drop or constantly pulls to the toilet, although the bladder is empty;
- pain in the perineum - can be given under the testicles, in the rectum, in the genital or sacrum;
- faintness of orgasm, there is no previous range of feelings during intercourse;
- burning;
- general malaise - muscles, bones, joints hurt - it can be difficult for the patient to explain what exactly;
- irritability;
- weakness.
Chronic prostatitis is acute, untreated. The pain subsides completely or is constantly present, but with less intensity, so that the patient does not pay attention to it. Exacerbations occur periodically in chronic prostatitis. Symptoms are the same as in acute.
A type of chronic prostatitis is chronic pelvic pain syndrome. It:
- persistent, for several months pain in the pelvic region,
- frequent urge to use the toilet,
- poor psycho-emotional state.
At the same time, there may be no bacteria in the secret of the prostate, and the pain is associated with other reasons.
Symptoms serve as a guideline for the doctor to determine the type and chart how to treat prostatitis.
How to treat prostatitis
Due to a sedentary lifestyle and sedentary work, the blood stagnates. The cause may be infections, lack of intercourse, hypothermia.
When the first symptoms appear - pain and fever, you do not need to endure and wait for everything to pass by itself. Do not hesitate to see a doctor.
In case of acute or exacerbated chronic prostatitis, you need to take a smear, culture from the genital tract to determine what type of disease (bacterial or non-bacterial), do an ultrasound of the prostate gland.
If in the analyzes: gonococcus, chlamydia, trichomanade, then treat prostatitis with antibacterial drugs, and take them with a partner.
If such microorganisms as staphylococci, streptococci, gardenella, mycoplasma, ureaplasma, in this case it is not necessary to take antibacterial drugs. These microorganisms always live in a person, it is activated during hypothermia, blood stasis, and decreased immunity. How to treat prostatitis in this case? Improve immunity and eliminate blood stagnation in the pelvic organs, regularly undergo preventive physiotherapy courses. At present, special physical equipment has been developed and is being successfully used for the release of procedures for men.
What the specialist prescribes:
- antibiotics;
