Purulent prostatitis is characterized in that in the prostate tissue developed abscesses - abscesses. This could be one large abscess or many smaller ones. The disease is dangerous because the infection through the blood vessels can spread to the entire body.
What changes occur in the prostate gland
Acute prostatitis can occur in catarrhal, follicular and parenchymal forms. At catarrhal forms of inflammation captures wall duct cancer at follikullyarnom - glandular tissue, it becomes somewhat enlarged and flabby.
Purulent prostatitis is a form of acute parenchymal prostatitis
Acute prostatitis - the culprit bacteria
In which the glandular tissue and connective basis prostate sharply swollen and impregnated leukocytes. Then, in the gland tissue formed pustules - abscesses.
The disease can begin after strong supercooling which leads to reduced immunity and activate their own pathogenic microorganisms, the activity of which was previously temporarily suppresses immunity. Purulent processes often caused by a staph infection that may penetrate into the gland from distant foci of infection through the bloodstream. These foci of infection include chronic tonsillitis

, Carious teeth, periodontal tissue purulent inflammation (periodontitis), sinusitis and so on.
Another cause of acute suppurative prostatitis can be the injury of the urethra (urethritis), which opened the gates for the penetration of infection into the prostate gland. Such injuries can be applied during diagnostic tests and urological procedures.
Why in this case, the disease occurs in the most severe? It depends on the general state of the organism, its individual characteristics, the state of immunity.
How is purulent prostatitis
Purulent prostatitis begins abruptly with fever, chills, pain in the abdomen

and in the lower back. At the same time there voiding: constant urge combined with the inability to empty the bladder, severe pain during urination, and then during a bowel movement, as swollen, enlarged prostate squeezes all located underneath authorities. Acute urinary retention times already at this stage is the state, which requires emergency care to the patient.
When an abscess of the prostate all the symptoms become more pronounced, intoxication increases, the patient's condition can be very difficult. It is possible reverse development process and recovery. But most of the abscess matures and opened independently in the prostate urethra or the rectum.
If the contents of the abscess is opened to the surrounding prostate or colon tissue, it is developing a complication - acute purulent paraprostatit or paroproktit and the patient's condition deteriorates again.
Diagnosis purulent prostatitis
The disease has characteristic symptoms. Furthermore, by digital examination of the prostate (through the rectum) can palpate enlarged painful interest (or a fraction) of the prostate. Iron dense, very painful.
In the urine appear purulent thread under the microscope in the urine detected a large number of white blood cells. In general, a blood test revealed signs of inflammation: high white blood cell count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate accelerated.
Treatment of purulent prostatitis
Purulent prostatitis treated in a hospital. The patient is assigned to bed rest and drinking plenty of fluids and a diet with the exception of foods rich in fiber (fruits and vegetables) - because of problems with defecation.
In the initial stage, when the abscess has not yet formed prescribe antibiotics tetracycline and fluoroquinolones to the maximum permissible doses. For removal of spasm and pain appoint warm hip baths 37-39˚S temperature for 10-15 minutes and hot microclysters (40-42˚S) 2-3 times a day. Assign also spasmolytics (papaverine, no-silos) and painkillers. As anesthetics are used NSAIDs in rectal suppositories (e.g. diclofenac.) Because it is both reduce inflammation and swelling.
When urinary retention catheter urine release. Formed abscess

opened through the perineum or rectum.
Ends purulent prostatitis usually recovery within 2-3 weeks. But sometimes the process can become chronic, often it occurs at untimely or inadequate treatment. The transition process of acute to chronic sedentary contributes to a sedentary lifestyle.
Purulent prostatitis - a disease that requires immediate medical attention.
