What is prostatitis?
Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate, an organ that only men have. It is located in the area of the pelvis, below the bladder. The urethra passes through the prostate.
Prostate functions:
- creates a secret gland (male sex hormone) that ensures sperm motility and is part of the sperm;
- blocks the urethra during erection.
How to treat prostatitis depends on whether it is acute or chronic, but first, let’s address the symptoms.
How to understand that you are sick
Feelings in acute prostatitis:
- high temperature, cold;
- pain when urinating, when dripping or constantly pulling to the toilet, even though the bladder is empty;
- pain in the perineum - can be given below the testicles, rectum, genitals or sacrum;
- weakness of orgasm, there is no earlier range of feelings during intercourse;
- burning;
- general weakness - sore muscles, bones, joints - it can be difficult to explain to the patient what exactly;
- irritability;
- weakness.
Chronic prostatitis is acute, untreatable. The pain completely subsides or is constantly present, but with less intensity, so that the patient does not pay attention to it. Exacerbations occur periodically in chronic prostatitis. The symptoms are the same as in the acute.
The type of chronic prostatitis is the syndrome of chronic pelvic pain. It:
- persistent, several months pain in the pelvic region,
- frequent urges to go to the toilet,
- poor psycho-emotional state.
At the same time, there may be no bacteria in the prostate secretion, and the pain is related to other reasons.
Symptoms to the doctor serve as a guide for determining the type and treatment regimen of prostatitis.
How to treat prostatitis
Due to a sedentary lifestyle and inactive work, the blood stagnates. The cause can be infections, lack of intercourse, hypothermia.
When the first symptoms appear - pain and fever, you do not need to endure and wait for everything to pass by itself. Do not hesitate to visit a doctor.
In case of acute or exacerbated chronic prostatitis, it is necessary to take a swab, genital tract to determine what type of disease (bacterial or non-bacterial), do an ultrasound of the prostate.
If in the analysis: gonococci, chlamydia, trichomanada, then treat prostatitis with antibacterial drugs and take them together with a partner.
If such microorganisms as staphylococci, streptococci, gardenella, mycoplasma, ureaplasma, in this case should not be taken antibacterial drugs. These microorganisms always live in humans, are activated during hypothermia, blood stasis and reduced immunity. How to treat prostatitis in this case? Improve immunity and eliminate blood stagnation in the pelvic organs, regularly undergo preventive physiotherapy courses. Currently, special physical equipment has been developed that is successfully used to publish procedures for men.
What the specialist prescribes:
- antibiotics;

- medications that facilitate urination;
- special exercises to improve blood circulation;

The disease does not pass quickly. The phase of acute inflammation is 5-7 days. After that, the symptoms become less pronounced. The patient thinks that everything is fine and stops the treatment. That is the main mistake. Untreated acute prostatitis becomes chronic, and this is a life with constant discomfort during urination, sexual intercourse and when you sit down.
