Moreover, according to statistics, this problem is the most common reason for patients to visit this specialist. Provided that the patient was treated with the indicated condition at the early stages of its development, the effectiveness of the therapeutic measures taken will be higher.
In this regard, if a man has a cold in the bladder, the symptoms should be an immediate reason for contacting a specialist. The disease is dangerous transition to the chronic stage. So, in today's article we will talk about what are the signs of a congestive bladder, what triggering factors exist, and how this condition is treated.
Types of the pathological process
If etiological factors are distinguished, then experts talk about primary and secondary cystitis. The first should include the acute and chronic form of damage to the designated organ. The primary chronic lesion of the bladder in men can be post-traumatic, parasitic or infectious in nature. However, experience shows that men are more characteristic of the secondary chronic form of the disease, which develops against the background of male urological problems. It will manifest itself in stages of exacerbations and remissions.
Pathological factors
According to the vast majority of experts, the development of the inflammatory process in the bladder in men does not happen as often as it does in the female half of the world's population. As shown by the statistics, only 1% of the strong half of humanity has a situation when the bladder has frozen and the process has become chronic in men. However, talking about such a disease, which is called cystitis in medicine, it is useful for everyone to know about what provoking factors can lead to its development.
Predisposing causes of the disease
As the most common causes of inflammation in the body, which is discussed today, doctors call:
- constant subcooling in the area below the belt;
- humidity in the feet in the autumn-winter period;
- prolonged stay in cold conditions;
- incompetent approach to the hardening process;
- sexual contact;
- the development of inflammation or prostate cancer;
- the appearance of stones in the designated organ;
- prolonged retention of urine.
The clinical picture of pathology
If it happens that a man has a bladder, the symptoms appear in different ways. It all depends on what served as a catalyst for the development of the pathological process. Nevertheless, if, nevertheless, circumstances developed in such a way that the man froze the bladder, the symptoms will certainly appear in the following form:
- A frequent desire to emit urine, during which small portions of biomaterial are released.
- If the patient has a cold bladder, the symptoms in men also appear in the form of the appearance of turbid urine, which has a repulsive odor.
- State of weakness.
- Increased body temperature.
- Sensation of heaviness in the coccygeal zone.
- Lack of sexual desire.
- Irritability.
- Pain in the joints and muscles.
In the case when a severe form of pathology occurs, the patient develops an intoxication process, which is manifested by an increase in body temperature and oliguria. In this case, urine acquires a cloudy tint, putrid odor, blood impurities appear in it.
Should I stop treatment if symptoms disappear
Experience shows that the symptoms of the disease disappear after a few days. Under the influence of high temperature, the vast majority of bacteria die, and the immune system fights with the rest. Nevertheless, it happens that the mucous membrane of the organ does not recover, as a result of which the disease acquires a chronic form. The latter will begin to appear every time the patient exposes even the slightest hypothermia to his own body. He will be tormented by frequent urination, accompanied by a burning sensation, poor health and a slight pain in the bladder.
Methods for determining pathology
If a man has frozen his bladder, then how to treat such a condition, a specialist will decide only after he confirms the diagnosis. Diagnostic procedures begin with an examination of the patient and collection of information regarding the manifesting signs of the disease. Then the specialist makes a palpation of the prostate through the anus, which is necessary in order to exclude the possibility of inflammation of the prostate gland.
After this, the patient is sent for a general urine test, which allows you to assess the level of red blood cells and mucus, as well as a general blood test, bakosev urine and smear from the urethra.
In order for the specialist to have a complete picture of the state of the organ, the patient is given a referral for ultrasound of the pelvic organs.
Pathology treatment
In a situation where the patient has a cold bladder, treatment in men, however, as in women, is prescribed exclusively by the attending physician. In this situation, self-medication is excluded, as this is fraught with undesirable consequences. So, when a man has got a bladder, what to treat, the doctor will say, guided by the results of laboratory tests.
Drug treatment
After laboratory tests determine the type of pathogenic microorganism, a specialist will select antibiotic drugs. The attending physician will also prescribe for a patient who has a bladder with a cold, pain relieving tablets. This will eliminate the pain syndrome. In addition, uroseptics are prescribed, which are aimed at combating the disease directly, as well as at organizing the work of the body. After 3-4 days of such an active drug treatment, the patient's condition improves significantly and the symptoms of the pathology no longer make themselves felt. However, this does not mean that treatment can be discontinued. Otherwise, the pathological process can go into a chronic form, which will be much more difficult to deal with.
Sometimes patients are prescribed an organ rinsing with antiseptic agents, as well as novocaine blockade in the prevesical, intravesical and presacral areas.
If a man has established the fact of the presence of urological pathologies that accompany the development of the inflammatory process in the designated organ, then doctors recommend that they also deal with their treatment.
However, as part of the treatment of pathology, experts recommend excluding the consumption of fried and smoked dishes, as well as alcohol and coffee. You should also stop smoking.
Home therapy
If the bladder is cold, treatment at home is possible provided that the pathological process is at an initial stage. However, in this case, it is necessary to consult a doctor and take medications. In this situation, it is also recommended to consume as much water as possible. The liquid will naturally remove pathogenic microorganisms, which will contribute to the normalization of the work of the affected organ. In addition to water, you can consume green tea, tinctures and decoctions based on medicinal herbs, as well as compotes made from dried fruits or fruits.
