Complications of acute prostatitis

Acute seminal vesiculitis or epididymitis and vas deferensitis

Acute inflammation of the prostate gland can easily spread to the seminal vesicles, causing acute seminal vesiculitis. At the same time, bacteria can retrogradely enter the wall and outer sheath of the vas deferens through the lymphatic vessels, causing epididymitis.

Acute urinary retention

Acute prostatitis causes local congestion, swelling, and compression of the urethra, resulting in difficulty in urination or acute urinary retention.

Sexual dysfunction

During the acute inflammatory stage, the prostate becomes congested, edematous, or small abscesses are formed. Symptoms may include painful ejaculation, painful erections, decreased libido, painful intercourse, impotence, and hematospermia.

Spermatic lymph nodes that are enlarged or tender

The prostate gland and spermatic cord lymph nodes have communicating branches in the pelvis. When the prostate gland is acutely inflamed, the spermatic cord is affected, causing the spermatic cord lymph nodes to swell and become painful.

other

Severe cases of acute prostatitis may be accompanied by referred pain in the groin and, in severe cases, renal angina.

Acute prostatitis treatment

Antibiotic treatment

Antibiotics are also very common in the clinical treatment of prostatitis. They are more suitable for patients who have already formed blockage and calcification. This is because the drug cannot enter the patient's prostate at this time, so it cannot achieve a good effect. Moreover, long-term use of drugs will cause drug resistance, damage the liver and gastrointestinal functions, and cause dysbacteriosis, increasing the chance of endogenous infection.

The occurrence of male prostate problems is closely related to sedentary work habits. Taxi drivers, bank employees, software engineers, etc. often suffer from prostatitis. In addition, if men's daily hygiene habits are not in place, the probability of prostatitis will be greatly increased.
