Causes of acute prostatitis symptoms

Men are the mainstream group in society. Pressure from all aspects will accumulate on men, which leads to an increase in the number of diseases suffered by men. The most common disease is prostatitis. Diseases can be divided into two types, acute and chronic. Most patients with chronic diseases have them. After patients find the cause of abnormal symptoms of the disease, they can conduct effective examinations and treatments. However, most patients do not understand the disease, which leads to errors in diagnosis. Let's learn about the symptoms and causes of acute prostatitis.

Acute prostatitis symptoms:

1. Urinary discomfort

Urinary discomfort is a direct manifestation of prostatitis. Patients will experience bladder irritation symptoms, such as frequent urination, burning in the urethra during urination, and pain radiating to the glans penis. In the morning, there may be mucus and other secretions in the urethra, and there may also be a feeling of difficulty in urination. Male friends should pay special attention to the phenomenon of "opening" in the urethra in the morning, which may be a reminder that you have chronic prostatitis.

2. Radiating pain

Radiating pain is a symptom of chronic prostatitis. In addition to the urethra and perineum, this pain will also radiate to the vicinity, with low back pain being the most common. At the same time, the penis, spermatic cord, testicles and scrotum, lower abdomen, groin area (thigh root), thigh, rectum, etc. can all be affected. Low back pain caused by chronic prostatitis is in the lower back. If the location of the low back pain is higher, it means that the inflammation is not serious.

3. Sexual dysfunction

Sexual dysfunction is a symptom of chronic prostatitis. During the illness, patients with chronic prostatitis may experience weakness, sexual dysfunction, ejaculation pain, premature ejaculation, white discharge from the urethra after urination or defecation, and hematospermia when combined with seminal vesiculitis. If chronic prostatitis is not treated in time, it may cause premature ejaculation, impotence, affect semen quality, and even lead to infertility.

Causes of acute prostatitis:

1. Pathogenic microorganism infection: Various microorganisms such as bacteria, protozoa, fungi, viruses, etc. can become the source of infection for prostatitis, among which bacteria are the most common, such as gonococci, non-gonococci, etc. There are three main ways for bacteria to invade. The first is blood infection. Clinically, 90% of bacterial prostatitis is caused by microbial infection. The second is lymphatic infection, such as lower urinary tract infection and inflammation of the colon and rectum can infect the prostate through the lymphatic ducts and cause inflammation. The third is direct spread. When men urinate, urine passes through the prostate, and the bacteria in the urine can directly enter the prostate, causing prostate infection.

2. Prostate congestion: Congestion caused by various reasons, especially passive congestion, is an important pathogenic factor of prostatitis. The patient's disease is often not caused by bacterial infection or microbial invasion, but it will form an inflammatory reaction and induce prostatitis. The conditions that cause congestion are very common:

3. Anxiety, depression, fear: 50% of patients with chronic nonbacterial prostatitis have symptoms of excessive anxiety such as anxiety, depression, fear, pessimism, etc. Prostatitis patients with pain and neurasthenia often exaggerate their physical discomfort and pain, and their perceived symptoms are often greater than their actual condition. This condition is called "anxious prostatitis". Psychological factors are related to age. Young patients have a significantly heavier mental burden than older patients. This situation often directly interferes with the efficacy of drug treatment.

The above article explains the causes of acute prostatitis symptoms. This disease often occurs in middle-aged and elderly men. It is related to the patient's age, living habits, stress, etc. Men should have regular checkups after middle age, and do more physical training. If the body is too fat, it is important to lose weight, which can effectively control the physical condition and prevent the body's resistance from deteriorating. In addition, the disease will also cause damage to other body functions, such as sexual function and urinary function.
