Symptoms of prostatitis, because of television advertising, today know almost all men. But not all of them at the first signs of disease immediately go to the doctor. And for good reason. In the initial stages cope with inflammation of the prostate gland is much easier.
What happens in the body of the man with prostatitis
Prostatitis - an inflammation of the prostate gland (prostatitis). The primary cause of prostatitis are two:
- stagnation of blood and lymph circulation in the pelvis and in the prostate and prostate secretion violation of the outflow;
- Infection - usually a bacterial, viral, or mixed infection.
Contributing factors are all factors that cause transient or steady decline in immunity: hypothermia, fatigue, stress, intoxication, transferred acute diseases, chronic infectious-inflammatory processes and so on.
Initially, the inflammatory process can wear both acute and chronic. The inflammation leads to swelling of the prostate, in violation of her blood and a gradual decline in function.
The first symptoms of prostatitis
The first symptoms of prostatitis may appear as early in the disease and after some time (including after a few years). In order to establish a process of primary or recurrent chronic prostatitis, should be examined.
The first symptoms of prostatitis in men - is, as a rule, urination disorders and pain. If the process is acute, the patient's general condition is violated, there are chills, moderate fever, malaise, and sometimes pain in the muscles and joints. In recurrent chronic prostatitis
Chronic prostatitis - every man should know his signs
breach of the general state are much less common.
Pain and voiding in this case are due to the inflammatory swelling of the prostate, enlarged prostate squeezing the urethra (urethritis) and irritation of the nerve endings.
Signs and symptoms of prostatitis in different patients may vary. Quite often this disease for a long time goes unnoticed and only identifies its complications. However, most patients still prostatitis appears primarily pain. Pain is usually localized to the back, pubic area, inner thighs, external genitalia. Most often they are transient in nature, and worse at night.
But sometimes it takes a constant pain, aching in nature, in some cases, the pain is very severe, the patient shall communicate to the frenzy, neurosis

or depression

. These pains are called chronic pelvic pain syndrome.
Urination disorders may also have a different character from the intensity. Usually, there are frequent mandatory (imperative) urge to urinate, and pain at the end of urination.
If the inflammation is severe, there may be acute urinary retention, in which men need emergency medical care.
Symptoms of prostatitis in women does not occur, this is purely masculine disease.
Symptoms of prostatitis complications
If prostatitis is an infectious-inflammatory character, the infection may move to the surrounding tissues, as well as to distant tissues and organs through the blood and lymph vessels. Symptoms of these complications depends on the characteristics of inflammation in any particular organ.
Sometimes infectious-inflammatory process is complicated by the development of an abscess of the prostate gland. Symptoms of abscess formation is a sharp rise in temperature, increased pain and urinary disorders.
One of the most serious complications of long-term or heavy flow of prostatitis is male infertility. Typically, this is a consequence of replacing most of the glandular tissue of the prostate connective tissue - a process called sclerosis. Thus prostate loses its function, which leads to significant sexual disorders (until complete impotence) and impaired spermatogenesis (formation of spermatozoa).
Violation of spermatogenesis appears first in reducing the fertility of sperm (reduced sperm motility and their ability to penetrate the female genitalia, and reduced sperm concentration). In marked sclerosis of the prostate that body loses the ability to synthesize sperm - comes complete irreversible infertility.
