At a certain point, he begins to notice that he often gets up at night, intimacy with his wife does not give the former pleasure, pains appear in the lower abdomen. These could be symptoms of prostatitis.

The first signs of prostatitis

In medical terminology, it is customary to consider acute and chronic prostatitis. Symptoms for both options are similar in terms of the main criteria:

• pain in the lower abdomen, aggravated after urination;
• frequent urges, especially at night;
• decreased libido;
• deterioration of urination – difficulty, increase, decrease in jet flow;
• change in color, concentration of seminal fluid.

If a man noticed the following signs, then first of all it is necessary to consult a urologist.

Characteristics of the acute form of prostatitis

Acute prostatitis in men is differentiated into phases with certain symptoms on each. The main feature is intoxication due to the active inflammatory process.

Stage	signs
catarrhal	At the first stage, the man is concerned about the feeling of heaviness in the perineum, combined with moderate pain. Violation of urination manifests itself in the form of discomfort when emptying the bladder. More often occurs at night due to physiological fluid stagnation. At the same time, hyperthermia and intoxication are not observed.
Follicular	The second phase is characterized by the height of clinical manifestations: The pain intensifies, spreads to the penis, perineum, anus; The pressure of the jet decreases, in severe cases – the complete inability to urinate; The temperature rises to 38 degrees; general condition worsens in the form of weakness, lethargy, depression.
Parenchymal	Intoxication takes the first place of the third stage against the background of a sharp rise in temperature (39 degrees): chills; · thirst; pronounced weakness. The parenchymal phase is accompanied by dyspeptic changes – impaired defecation, false urges (tenesmus), increased gas formation in the intestines (flatulence). The pain becomes pulsating, circularly covers the small pelvis.

The acute form of prostatitis must be treated in a hospital under the supervision of a urologist.

Features of chronic prostatitis

It is dangerous to tolerate manifestations of acute prostatitis, it can become chronic. You can recognize it by a number of characteristic features:

Dysuria

• Frequent nocturnal urges do not bring relief.
• On the contrary, the pain intensifies at the time of emptying.
• Blood clots (hematuria) appear in the urine.
• It becomes cloudy due to the purulent component.

Pain

• Painful sensations that do not go away on their own. To
• Upirovyatsya only analgesics, antispasmodics.

subfebrile temperature

• A constantly circulating infection provokes temperature thresholds of up to 37 degrees.

Decreased potency

• During sexual contact, a man may notice pain during ejaculation.
• The advanced stage of chronic prostatitis is accompanied by persistent impotence.

Any inflammatory disease tends to become chronic . The severity of symptoms will decrease slightly, but the focus of infection will remain. Under the influence of external or internal factors, it will aggravate again. Therefore, the disease must be treated at the time of acute symptoms.

Let doctors take care of your health

Many men are treated at home, without going to the doctor.

The danger of self-treatment is the likelihood of treating the wrong disease.

There are pathologies with a similar clinical picture. There are cases when the patient himself was treated with antibiotics and folk remedies, but there was no obvious positive dynamics. When contacting a urologist, it was found that the cause was prostate cancer.

Therefore, in case of unpleasant, uncomfortable symptoms, you should sign up for a consultation with a specialist. He will conduct laboratory, instrumental studies. Based on them, he will make a clinical diagnosis, and then draw up a treatment regimen that will remove the signs of prostatitis and eliminate the source. Home medicines will also fit into this scheme.

• inflammatory processes of the bladder – cystitis;
• urinary tract infections (bacterial or viral) – urethritis;
• narrowing of the urethra against the background of previous diseases or as an anomaly of development;
• pyelonephritis (inflammation of the kidney parenchyma);
• urolithiasis with the presence of stones in the pyelocaliceal system of the kidneys, ureters, bladder;
• an increase in the volume of the prostate with the formation of adenomas;
• oncology of the prostate gland, bladder;
• acute block of urination of various origins.

There are many variants with similar symptoms, so a preliminary differential diagnosis is necessary. Each pathology requires its own set of drugs and therapeutic manipulations.
