Prostatitis is a common urological disease. The frequency of doctor visits for this reason in the United States, for example, is 1% (of all doctor visits).
Prostatitis is a condition caused by an inflammatory lesion of the prostate. It is an exclusively male disease that can begin at almost any age beyond the age of 20.
Forms of prostatitis
There are the following main forms of the disease:
- acute prostatitis;
- chronic bacterial prostatitis;
- bacterial prostatitis;
- Chronic prostatitis (chronic pelvic pain syndrome).
Most often, prostatitis is caused by exposure to bacteria or viruses. People weakened by other illnesses (including chronic ones) are particularly susceptible to it; prostatitis can also occur as a result of increased stress, stress, hypothermia, bad habits (alcoholism), that is, all these factors that reduce the body's defenses. Therefore, prostatitis is divided into infectious and non-infectious.
Symptoms of prostatitis
The main signs of the disease are:
- pain in the lower back and abdomen, lower back, perineum, pelvis, groin, scrotum;
- increased urination (including nighttime cravings);
- burning sensation when urinating;
- difficulty urinating, cloudy urine;
- muscle and joint pain;
- weakness, weakness, increased fatigue;
- headache;
- in acute forms of the disease - fever.
The doctor will also note the swelling and tenderness of the prostate.
Prostatitis not only seriously affects the quality of life, but can also lead to the development of other life-threatening diseases and conditions.
Important: these symptoms warrant urgent medical attention. Failure to treat acute prostatitis can lead to the development of chronic forms of the disease, as well as cystitis, pyelonephritis and even sepsis.
