Urologists say that with age, the risk of developing inflammation of the prostate gland increases rapidly. The first signs of prostatitis appear in men, usually after 50 years of age, but every year the statistics are getting younger, and there are more factors and reasons contributing to the development of this ailment.
Symptoms
A distinctive feature of the disease is a rapid transition to the chronic stage, which greatly complicates the healing process, so it is important to recognize the first signs of prostatitis and start treatment on time.
The acute period in which inflammation manifests itself very sharply is preceded by a latent phase in which the symptoms of the disease are almost invisible. A man sometimes feels discomfort in the testicles, pulling pains in the perineum and the glans penis, which can be caused by all sorts of reasons, so they go unnoticed.
Prostatitis sharply declares itself already in the prime of the disease, when microabscesses appear. However, blockage of the excretory ducts up to this point has already occurred for several months or years, so the disease is often detected immediately in a chronic form.
The first signs of prostatitis by this time are a violation of urination, due to an increase in the prostate, which puts pressure on the urethra. Emptying of the bladder in a patient occurs often, but in small portions, most often urges become more frequent at night.
The first signs of prostatitis are also manifested by a disorder of male sexual functions (premature ejaculation, erased orgasm, unstable erection), which are worsened over time.
The man also notes increased fatigue, irritability and nervousness, weakness, decreased performance.
