The most common symptom of prostate inflammation is disturbed and painful urination. Burning with prostatitis is experienced by all patients, because. bacterial microflora, the main source of the pathological process, spreads very quickly throughout the urinary system, affecting also the urethra. In pain

The majority of cases of prostatitis are men over 40 years of age, tk. by this age, the first changes begin in the body, but in recent years there has been a tendency to rejuvenate this disease. Inflammation can occur in different forms and stages.

Features of the disease

The first discomfort in the representatives of the stronger sex suffering from prostatitis develops precisely in the perineum, in the area where the prostate is located. Until the pathogens are localized in the prostate gland, the guy does not experience vivid symptoms of the disease and is in no hurry to see a doctor.

But as soon as bacteria enter the urethra, the clinical picture changes dramatically. In addition to acute burning sensation with prostatitis that occurs when trying to urinate, the following manifestations are noted:

• burning and acute pain in the head of the penis after having sex;
• an increase in temperature to 37.2-37.5 degrees, indicating ongoing inflammation and intoxication;
• delayed outflow of urine;
• premature ejaculation;
• increased urge to empty the bladder, especially at night;
• feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder after visiting the restroom.

Discomfort and burning in the groin and urethra in a man usually has such causes as the primary manifestation of the pathology or exacerbation in the chronic form, if the treatment for diagnosed prostatitis has already been carried out.

What else to pay attention to

The prostate gland is one of the components of the genitourinary system, which means that its work and condition can affect other organs associated with it. So, the thrill or itching with prostatitis can be observed not only in the groin, but also in the lower back, scrotum, rectum and even legs.

Most patients do not associate such signs with each other, which often leads to the development of severe complications.

To prevent this, you should pay attention to such alarming phenomena:

• the appearance in urine and seminal fluid of uncharacteristic impurities: mucus, pus, flakes, etc., which are a direct sign of inflammation;
• redness and swelling of the head of the penis, scrotum, which increase after intercourse, defecation, long sitting in one place;
• swollen lymph nodes in the groin.

IMPORTANT!!! Enlarged lymph nodes are a very alarming sign, because. may be a symptom of a secondary infection.

Very often, prostatitis occurs in conjunction with other infectious diseases of the urogenital area: urethritis, cystitis, gonorrhea, pyelonephritis, chlamydia, etc.

These diseases have their own unique manifestations, but the classic picture usually coincides with the symptoms of prostatitis, which is why the infectious disease is not given worthy attention, and it continues to progress, interfering with treatment and recovery.

Types of itching with prostatitis

To make the treatment of diseases better, urologists divide itchy sensations into two types. This may be a primary manifestation that occurs precisely as a result of the inflammation of the iron of the prostate organ itself, and secondary, when discomfort and prostatitis itself develop against the background of other pathological conditions.

Still uncomfortable sensations are evaluated according to the organ in which they first appeared. So, itching can be:

• anal;
• urethral;
• non-infectious.

Unpleasant symptoms with inflammation of the prostate can be localized in different parts of the inguinal region. Often, pathology leads to an exacerbation of other diseases of the patient, as in the case of anal fissures.

Small wounds of the anus and rectum may not bother a man or manifest themselves slightly, but when microbes enter the genitourinary system, they also become inflamed, so itching in the anus increases with prostatitis or other infections. Very often, itching in the anus begins earlier than the stove in the urethral region or the pain in the perineum.

Itching in the urethra is usually caused by sexually transmitted infections, fungal or bacterial pathologies. If the burning sensation occurred before the itching of the prostate, then prostatitis developed against the background of STDs, and is a secondary pathology, and vice versa.

Before you try to relieve the burning sensation in the urethra in chronic prostatitis, you should accurately determine what caused it. Sometimes the nature of an unpleasant symptom is non-infectious in nature and discomfort can be provoked by:

• trauma of the mucous membranes of the urethra caused by active sexual intercourse, masturbation, ingress of a foreign body;
• eating on the eve of spicy, spicy or salty foods in large volumes;
• excessive alcoholic outpourings;
• change of personal hygiene cosmetics or household chemicals (allergy to shower gel, washing powder, flavored toilet paper, etc.);
• taking certain types of drugs (the products of their decay are usually excreted along with urine and can cause irritation of the mucous membranes of the urinary system).

If the burning sensation in the urethra with prostatitis is caused by these reasons, there is no need to take medications, the discomfort disappears on its own after a while. If there is no improvement, you should consult a doctor and undergo a comprehensive medical examination.

Diagnostic methods
