Prostate symptoms

Today's fast-paced life puts us under a lot of pressure, especially for men. They not only have to work hard, but also have to take care of their families, the elderly, their wives and children. Nowadays, most men are facing prostate problems. The prostate is an endocrine gland unique to men, and it is directly related to men's normal life. Problems with the prostate gland mean problems with a man's health.

The prostate gland has an inseparable relationship with men's lives. Men should pay attention to prevention in their daily lives. They should drink more water, try not to hold their urine, stay relaxed, know how to control themselves in their sex life, and pay attention to hygiene. These are necessary to prevent prostate disease. Let’s look at the symptoms and triggering conditions of prostatitis.

Acute prostatitis: It often occurs when one is tired, catches a cold, rides a bicycle for a long time, drinks alcohol, has excessive sexual activity, is injured, undergoes transurethral instrumentation, or when systemic or local resistance is weakened. Pathogenic bacteria enter the prostate through the bloodstream or urethra from lesions in other parts of the body. The most common pathogens are Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus, and Streptococcus.

Chronic prostatitis: The cause is more complicated. A few cases are caused by acute prostatitis that has not been completely cured, and the vast majority of patients have never experienced a clear acute stage. The pathogenic microorganisms that cause chronic prostatitis are mainly bacteria, followed by viruses, mycoplasma, chlamydia and other allergens. Excessive sexual desire, prostate congestion, lower urinary tract obstruction, perineum compression and injury, inflammatory lesions of adjacent organs affecting the prostate, and decreased body resistance may all be causes of chronic prostatitis. Even the patient's mental state is a factor that affects the severity of symptoms. In short, the causes of chronic prostatitis are complex, and the reasons for its long-term failure to heal may be that different causes exist at different stages, or there may be more than one pathogenic factor at the same stage.

Symptoms: Acute prostatitis: The onset is rapid, with symptoms of systemic infection or sepsis, high fever, elevated white blood cell count, frequent urination, urgency, pain in urination, urethral pain, pain in the perineum and suprapubic area, rectal distension, difficulty in defecation, and occasionally difficulty in urination or even urinary retention due to edema and spasm of the bladder neck. Chronic prostatitis: Symptoms vary greatly among different patients, and laboratory test results may not be completely consistent with the patient's subjective symptoms. Some patients have significant symptoms, but prostate palpation and prostatic fluid examination may show no special findings or slight changes, while other patients have a large number of pus cells in their prostatic fluid and a hardened prostate, but may have no symptoms at all. Therefore, the severity of symptoms may also be related to the patient's mental factors.

Common symptoms include: 1. Pain: There may be a burning sensation or crawling sensation in the posterior urethra. Pain in the perineum and anus may radiate to the lumbar sacral region, groin, suprapubic area, penis, testicles, etc., and occasionally radiate to the abdomen. 2. Urinary system symptoms: Inflammation involves the urethra, and the patient may have mild urinary frequency, urgency, and pain when urinating. Some patients may even have hematuria. Mucus or purulent secretions may be discharged from the urethra before urination in the early morning or during defecation. 3. Sexual dysfunction: There may be loss of libido, impotence, premature ejaculation, painful ejaculation, increased frequency of nocturnal emission, etc.

In daily life, you should pay attention to self-treatment methods to alleviate prostate diseases. Friends with prostate disease should not be too stressed first and must maintain a relaxed and happy mood. Secondly, you should be careful not to sit for long periods of time or stay up late, and also be careful not to get too tired. Regular physical examinations are also very important for men. Early detection and early treatment can better treat the prostate.
