Prostatitis - inflammation of the seed (prostate) - prostate.It is the most common disease of the genitourinary system in men.Most of the time, it affects patients aged 25 to 50.According to several data, prostatitis suffers from 30 to 85% of men over 30.Perhaps the inflammation of the testicles and appendages, which threatens infertility.The rise of infection leads to inflammation of the upper parts of the genitourinary system (cystitis, pyelonephritis).
Prostatitis symptoms
In rare cases, chronic prostatitis becomes the result of an acute process, however, as a rule, a primary chronic course is observed.The temperature occasionally rises to subebril values.The patient observes the poor pain in the perineum, discomfort during the act of urination and defecation.The most characteristic symptom is the scarce discharge of the urethra during the act of defecation.The primary chronic form of the disease develops for a significant period of time.It is preceded by prostatosis (stagnation of blood in the capillaries), gradually becoming a abactry prostatitis.
Chronic prostatitis is often a complication of the inflammatory process caused by the causative agent of a specific infection (chlamydia, trichomonas, ureaplasma, gonococcus).The symptoms of a specific inflammatory process in many cases mask the manifestations of prostate injury.A slight increase in pain during urination is possible, poor pain in the perineum, scarce discharge from the urethra during defecation.A slight change in the clinical image usually goes unnoticed by the patient.
Impotence, and sometimes the very threat of possible sexual disorders is difficult to transfer to patients.Often, there is a change in character, irritability, grumbling, excessive concern for their own health and even "go to the disease."
If a man is suspected of the development of prostatitis, he is immediately offered to suffer differential diagnosis.It allows us to distinguish inflammation of the prostate gland from other pathological conditions that have similar symptoms with it.
Without diagnosis, the doctor will not be able to distinguish prostatitis from diseases such as urethritis, pyelonephritis, orchitis, cystitis and epididmit.
Chronic prostatitis can be confused with prostate adenoma or malignant tumor in this organ.In the latter case, the patient will have significant blood loss during urination and noticeable deterioration in the general state of health.
The typical symptoms of acute bacterial prostatitis are:
- frequent urination;
- Burning during urination (usually with a small amount of urine);
- Pain in the area of bladder and perineum;
- pain during defecation;
- nausea, vomiting;
- fever and chills.
Chronic bacterial prostatitis is also manifested by problems of pain and urination.However, these symptoms disappear immediately and then appear after a while.Chronic prostatitis is characterized by a recurring course with fading and emerging inflammation.It can last many months.
In rare cases, the doctor may detect an increase in the amount of leukocytes in the ejaculate or secretion of the prostate gland, but a sick person may not experience pain or other symptoms of inflammation of the prostate.
So what signs of prostatitis should you pay special attention?The initial manifestations of the disease:
- pulling pain in the perineum and pubic;
- discomfort during urination, after intimate contacts;
- breaking, weakness;
- A slight increase in temperature.
Symptoms of prostatitis in men in a parenchymate way:
- severe patient condition;
- At the beginning of the disease, rapid urination moves rapidly to dysuria (complete urinary retention);
- Appetite is reduced, the patient is tormented by thirst;
- Flatulence, the inability to empty the intestines due to intense pain;
- The mucous discharge of the rectum may appear;
- Body temperature is increased, maintained within 39 ° C.
One of the signs of prostatitis in men in this severe way is the acute pain of the prostate gland when investigating.The patient's palpator examination at this stage of the inflammatory process is difficult due to a severe condition and uncomfortable sensations in the genital area.If qualified treatment does not start at this stage, the disease may be complicated by the transition from infection to neighboring organs, the appearance of an abscess or the development of a chronic inflammatory process.
Diagnosis
<>A characteristic clinical image simplifies the process of diagnosis in acute and chronic prostatitis.Mandatory is made:
- Retal Study of the Prostate
- The prostate gland fence to determine the sensitivity of microflora (sowing the secret of prostate and bacterial urine).
- A prostate ultrasound to identify structural changes (tumors, cysts, adenoma) and the differentiation of prostatitis from other diseases is performed
- A sperm to exclude or confirm the development of infertility.
To confirm the diagnosis, the doctor can also analyze urine and take blood from the patient to examine the level of inflammatory cells.
Additional diagnostic methods for symptoms of prostate inflammation in men:
- Study of prostate secret;
- laboratory diagnosis;
- PCR research;
- Prostate ultrasound;
- Urofloometry;
- Magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography of the pelvic organs.
Treatment: Basic and non -specific therapy
Treatment of acute prostatitis
Patients with an uncomplicated acute process undergo an outpatient urologist treatment course.With severe poisoning, suspected of a purulent process, hospitalization is indicated.Antibacterial therapy is performed.Medicines are selected taking into account the sensitivity of an infectious agent.Antibiotics are widely used that can penetrate well on prostate tissue (ciprofloxacin, etc.).
With the development of acute delay in prostatitis' FNU urination, they use the installation of the cystomus, not a urethral catheter, because there is a danger of forming a prostate abscess.With the development of the abscess, an endoscopic transuretral opening of the abscess is performed.
Treatment of chronic prostatitis
The treatment of chronic prostatitis should be complex, including ethiotropic therapy, physiotherapy, immunity correction:
- Antibiotic therapy.The patient receives long-term antibacterial courses (within 4-8 weeks).Type and dose selection of antibacterial medications, as well as determining the duration of the treatment course is performed individually.The drug is chosen based on the sensitivity of microflora based on the results of urine sowing and prostate secret.
- Prostate massage.The gland massage has a comprehensive effect on the affected organ.During massage, the accumulated inflammatory secret in the prostate gland is squeezed in the ducts and enters the urethra and removes from the body.The procedure improves blood circulation in the prostate, which allows to minimize stagnation and provides the best penetration of antibacterial medications in the tissue of the affected organ.
- Physiotherapy.To improve blood circulation, laser exposure, ultrasonic waves and electromagnetic vibrations are used.If it is impossible to perform physiotherapeutic procedures, the patient receives hot medicinal microclisms.
In long -term chronic inflammation, an immunologist consultation is indicated for the choice of immunocorgative therapy tactics.The patient receives recommendations for a change in lifestyle.The introduction of certain changes in the lifestyle of a patient with chronic prostatitis is both therapeutic and a preventive measure.The patient is recommended to normalize sleep and wakefulness, to establish a diet and perform moderate physical activity.
In no case should treatment be treated at home as it is impossible to cure the disease acutely with the help of traditional medicine.The chronic inflammatory process requires the intervention of experienced specialists.Modern treatment medications allow you to quickly and effectively relieve the inflammatory process and avoid the development of hazardous complications.
The following funds are used to treat prostate inflammation:
- Antibacterial, antifungal and antitrichomonna drugs (depending on the cause of disease development);
- antispasmodic, painkillers;
- Physiotherapeutic Methods.
Therefore, urologists recommend contacting doctors as soon as the first signs of prostatitis occur in a man.This will gain the time.Treatment with makeshift means at home is strictly against -indicated.
Prostate massage
Patients with chronic prostate inflammation do gland massage.This procedure should be performed only by experienced specialists, as it is a powerful treatment agent that improves the output of purulent-inflammatory secrets of the ducts.
Prostate massage refers to a complex treatment of treatment and diagnosis, which should be performed only by professionals.It is performed through the rectum.The organ ducts are massaged with fingers, stimulating blood circulation and the exit of prostatic secretion, whose study is necessary for many diseases of the genitourinary sphere.Massage releases the pus accumulation ducts, relieves stagnation, reduces manifestations of infectious and inflammatory processes.
Knowing what the first signs of male prostatitis have, a person can reveal them in a timely manner and consult a doctor.
Complications
If you do not pay attention to the signs and symptoms of prostatitis, infection is possible for other organs of the pelvic region, intense pain with urination and the appearance of blood and pus in the urine and pus may occur.In a neglected way, the temperature with prostatitis in men increases, well -being visibly worsens.
The main complications of prostatitis:
- vesiculite (inflammation of seed bubbles);
- Prostate sclerosis;
- Prostate abscess;
- prostate cysts;
- infertility;
- impotence;
- Purulent infections of neighboring organs.
But the most formidable complication is considered gland hyperplasia with an increased risk of malignant tumor growth.A man usually does not even know the growth of adenoma and cancer neoplasms until impressive sizes and there are no difficulties in urination.
In the absence of timely treatment of acute prostatitis, there is a significant risk of developing the prostate gland abscess.When purulent focus is formed, the patient's body temperature rises to 39-40 ° C and can acquire a hectic character.The heat periods alternate with pronounced chills.Acute pain in the perineum complicates urination and makes defecation impossible.
For chronic prostatitis, a wave course with periods of prolonged remissions is characteristic, during which inflammation in the prostate continues latent or manifests itself in extremely scarce symptoms.Patients, who bother nothing, usually interrupt treatment and convert only with the development of complications.
