Acute prostatitis symptoms and treatment

Acute prostatitis is a type of prostatitis, and acute prostatitis is better than chronic prostatitis because such diseases can be treated in time, but chronic prostatitis is more complicated to treat. Acute prostatitis also has many symptoms, the biggest symptom is frequent urination and urgency, but this confuses many patients. Let's take a look at the symptoms and treatment of acute prostatitis.

Symptoms

Acute prostatitis: The disease often occurs when one is tired, cold, riding a bicycle for a long time, drinking alcohol, excessive sexual activity, injury, transurethral instrument operation, or weakened systemic or local resistance. Pathogenic bacteria enter the prostate through the blood or urethra from lesions in other parts of the body. The main pathogens are Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus, and Streptococcus.

Chronic prostatitis: The cause is more complicated. A few cases are caused by acute prostatitis that cannot be completely cured, but the vast majority of patients have never experienced a clear acute stage. The pathogenic microorganisms that cause chronic prostatitis are mainly bacteria, followed by viruses, mycoplasmas, chlamydia, and other allergens. Excessive sexual desire, prostatic congestion, lower urinary tract obstruction, perineal pressure, injury, inflammation and lesions of adjacent organs affecting the prostate, and decreased systemic resistance may all be one of the causes of chronic prostatitis. Even the patient's mental state is a factor that affects the severity of symptoms. In short, the cause of chronic prostatitis is complicated, and the reasons for its long-term failure to heal are likely to have different causes at different stages, or more than one pathogenic factor at the same time.

Symptoms: Acute prostatitis: acute onset, with systemic infection symptoms or purulent blood symptoms, high fever, elevated white blood cells, frequent urination, urgent urination, dysuria, urethral pain, perineum and suprapubic pain, rectal distension, difficulty in defecation, and occasional bladder neck edema and spasm may cause dysuria or even urine retention. Chronic prostatitis: symptoms vary greatly from patient to patient, and laboratory test results may not be completely consistent with the patient's self-perceived symptoms. Some patients have significant symptoms, but prostate palpation and prostate fluid examination may show no special findings or slight changes, while other patients have a large number of pus cells in their prostate fluid and hardened prostate texture, but may have no symptoms at all. Therefore, the severity of symptoms may also be related to the patient's mental factors.

Common symptoms include: 1. Pain: There may be a burning sensation or ant-like sensation in the posterior urethra. Pain in the perineum and anus may radiate to the lumbosacral region, groin, suprapubic region, penis, testicles, etc., and may occasionally radiate to the abdomen. 2. Urinary system symptoms: The inflammation involves the urethra, and the patient may have mild urinary frequency, urgency, and pain during urination. Some patients may also have hematuria. Mucus or purulent secretions may be discharged from the urethra before urination in the morning or during defecation. 3. Sexual dysfunction: There may be decreased libido, impotence, premature ejaculation, ejaculation pain, and increased frequency of nocturnal emission.

treatment

Personalized treatment is one of the treatment methods for prostatitis. Some patients will blindly eradicate the disease as soon as they hear about the special medicine that can cure it. Experts point out that, in fact, there is no special medicine. When treating patients, they should adopt a personalized treatment plan according to different types of prostatitis. This is the key to curing the disease.

When treating prostatitis, patients must be targeted and must not seek medical treatment randomly. There are many causes of the disease, and they are complex, which causes different symptoms in patients. Moreover, it is difficult for drugs to reach deep into the lesions, which can easily lead to recurrence of the disease. Therefore, when patients find out the cause and symptoms of the disease, they must take targeted treatment.

Developing good living habits is also one of the main methods of treating prostatitis. For patients, try to stay away from bad living habits such as smoking, drinking, sitting for a long time and holding urine. In addition, you should pay attention to personal hygiene, diet, and avoid the intake of irritating foods to avoid aggravating the congestion phenomenon.

The above is an introduction to the symptoms and treatment of prostatitis. This disease has a great impact on men, and when facing this disease, the first thing to do is to remain calm psychologically, and then choose the most suitable medicine for treatment. Many people use anti-inflammatory drugs when treating prostatitis, but anti-inflammatory drugs cannot be used indiscriminately. This will have a great impact on the body's harm, so they must be used reasonably.
