What is prostatitis?
Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate gland, an organ that only men have. Located in the pelvic region, below 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 address the symptoms.
How to understand that you are sick
Feelings in acute prostatitis:
- high fever, chills;
- pain when urinating, when drip or constantly pulling to the toilet, although the bladder is empty;
- pain in the perineum - can be administered under the testicles, rectum, genitals or sacrum;
- weakness of orgasm, there is no previous range of feelings during intercourse;
- burning up;
- 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 disappears completely or is constantly present, but with less intensity, so that the patient does not pay attention to it. Exacerbations periodically occur in chronic prostatitis. Symptoms are the same as acute.
One type of chronic prostatitis is chronic pelvic pain syndrome. it:
- persistent, pain in the pelvic region for several months,
- frequent need to use the toilet,
- bad psycho-emotional state.
At the same time, there may be no bacteria in the prostate secret, 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 could be infections, lack of sexual intercourse, hypothermia.
When the first symptoms appear - pain and temperature, it is not necessary to endure and wait for everything to pass by itself. Do not hesitate to consult a doctor.
In case of acute or exacerbated chronic prostatitis, it is necessary to take a smear, a culture from the genital tract to determine what type of disease (bacterial or non-bacterial), perform an ultrasound of the prostate gland.
If in the analyzes: gonococci, chlamydia, trichomanade, then treat prostatitis with antibacterial drugs and take them together with a partner.
If such microorganisms as staphylococci, streptococci, gardenella, mycoplasma, ureaplasma, in this case, antibacterial drugs should not be taken. These microorganisms always live in a person, are 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 courses of preventive physiotherapy. At the moment, special physical equipment has been developed and is successfully used for the release of procedures for men.
