What are the symptoms of prostate disease in men?

Prostatitis is a common disease among men. Many middle-aged and elderly men suffer from prostatitis. The main symptoms are frequent urination, incomplete urination, and urgent urination. Some patients also experience difficulty urinating and a burning sensation. Some symptoms of prostatitis are very similar to those of urethritis. The two must not be confused. When prostatitis occurs, there is also a certain pain in the lower abdomen and chills. Learn more about the symptoms of prostatitis in men.

1. Pain

Men with prostatitis will experience pain in their bodies. The pain may be centered in the lower abdomen and perineum, extending to the pelvic cavity, in front of the pubic area, etc. The pain is mainly bloating, and may be accompanied by bloating, heaviness, and even back pain.

2. Difficulty urinating

If a man suffers from prostatitis, he will experience abnormal urination, such as frequent urination, urgency, incomplete urination, stinging pain when urinating, etc. He may even feel a burning sensation in the urethra when urinating, or milky white secretions overflow from the prostate after urinating or straining during bowel movements. He may also find a few yellow spots on his underwear after waking up in the morning.

3. Decreased sexual desire

Strictly speaking, prostatitis will not affect sexual function, nor will it cause damage to the blood vessels and nerves on the prostate. However, it will affect the patient's spirit and emotions, thereby leading to other sexual problems such as decreased libido, thereby affecting the harmony of the couple's life.

What is prostatitis

Prostatitis is a common disease in urology. Among male urology patients, those under 50 years old account for the largest proportion. Prostatitis is divided into four categories and five types, namely acute bacterial prostatitis, chronic bacterial prostatitis, chronic pelvic pain syndrome (inflammatory and non-inflammatory), and asymptomatic prostatitis. Among them, non-bacterial prostatitis is far more common than bacterial prostatitis.

Chronic prostatitis includes chronic bacterial prostatitis and nonbacterial prostatitis. Chronic bacterial prostatitis is mainly caused by pathogen infection, mainly retrograde infection, and the pathogen is mainly Staphylococcus. There is often a history of repeated urinary tract infection or the presence of pathogenic bacteria in prostate massage fluid. Nonbacterial prostatitis is a complex pathological change caused by a variety of complex causes and inducements, involving inflammation, immunity, and neuroendocrine, leading to urethral irritation symptoms and chronic pelvic pain as the main clinical manifestations, and it is often combined with mental and psychological symptoms. The clinical manifestations are diverse.

Acute prostatitis is a common disease in adult men. It refers to acute inflammation caused by non-specific bacterial infection of the prostate. The main symptoms are urgency, frequency, pain when urinating, pain in the rectum and perineum, and often chills and fever.

Chronic pelvic pain syndrome is a disease that frustrates doctors and confuses patients. In the past 10 years, patients who were previously diagnosed with prostatitis have clinical symptoms such as pain or discomfort in the lumbar sacral region, perineum, lower abdomen, and testicular pain and discomfort, which have no obvious direct relationship with prostate anatomy. Therefore, in 1995, the National Institutes of Health of the United States believed that it is more accurate to diagnose such patients as chronic pelvic pain syndrome.

Symptomatic prostatitis will cause symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, and unclean urination. Asymptomatic prostatitis does not actually cause these symptoms. For chronic prostatitis, the symptoms of different patients vary greatly, and the laboratory test results may not be completely consistent with the patient's self-perceived symptoms. Some patients have obvious 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. But this only means that he does not have common prostate disease symptoms, and other symptoms will still exist, such as dreaminess, irritability, neurasthenia, mental tension, decreased sexual function, etc. Therefore, if you have other symptoms, you should pay attention to andrology for a check-up, otherwise it is easy to misdiagnose the treatment.

What medicine is good for prostatitis?

Prostatitis is a chronic disease and is very prone to recurring. Therefore, you cannot take medicine randomly and you cannot rush to seek medical treatment. Many people do not know much about prostatitis. Indiscriminate use of medicine may make the disease worse. So, how to treat prostatitis? Let's analyze it in detail.

1. Western medicine: Although long-term use of Western medicine can relieve some symptoms, with the emergence of drug resistance among bacteria, pathogens, and microorganisms, it is impossible to control the disease and it is difficult to achieve a complete cure.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine: Traditional Chinese medicine is a compound preparation that contains many ingredients and has a certain effect on the elimination of inflammation. However, the effect of traditional Chinese medicine treatment is slow, the course of treatment is long, and the effect of treatment is not ideal.

3. Antibiotic treatment drugs: Antibiotics are a common method, but commonly used antibiotics cannot penetrate into the prostate tissue, and the concentration reaching the gland is low, which cannot reach the bactericidal concentration. They also have large side effects and are prone to drug resistance. Long-term use of drugs has large side effects. Improper use of drugs without distinguishing right from wrong will make chronic prostatitis more serious.
