Acute prostatitis refers to the acute inflammation caused by non-specific bacterial infection of the prostate, which is mainly manifested by urgency of urination, frequency of urination, pain in urination, rectal and perineal pain, and often aversion to cold and fever.
The symptoms include: ① general symptoms: fatigue, weakness, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, high fever, chills, collapse or septicemia. In case of sudden onset, the systemic symptoms can cover up the local symptoms. ② Local symptoms: heavy pressure in the perineum or suprapubic region, aggravated when sitting for a long time or defecating, and spread to the waist, lower abdomen, back, thigh, etc. ③ Urinary tract symptoms: burning pain during urination, urgency, frequency of urination, dripping urine and purulent urethral secretion. Edema in the bladder neck can lead to poor urination, fine or interrupted urine flow, and even urinary retention in severe cases. ④ Rectal symptoms: distended rectum, urgent and painful defecation, and white urethra during defecation.
The etiology of acute prostatitis mainly includes the infection of virus and microorganism, the stimulation of urine and the influence of male adverse psychological factors. Clinically, there are often many patients who feel that their symptoms have disappeared after treatment, and they think that acute prostatitis has been cured, and they will automatically stop taking medicine. In fact, this is unscientific. The harm of acute prostatitis is often buried here. It is likely that the bacteria will not be completely eradicated, but will only be temporarily latent. If the treatment is stopped suddenly at this time, it will easily turn into chronic prostatitis. Can chronic prostatitis be cured? Even if it can be cured, it must also take more effort and time for patients.
Although the pathogens in the prostate have been completely removed in a short period of time after the prostatitis patients are cured, it does not mean that the prostate tissue damage caused by infection has been completely repaired. During the recovery period of the disease, the prostate may often be in a sub-healthy state, which is more likely to re-infect the pathogens or cause the obvious hyperemia of the prostate again than the general population, and cause the symptoms of prostatitis to reappear.
Preventing the re-infection of pathogens is a problem that doctors and cured patients should pay special attention to, but empirical long-term antibacterial drugs should not be used. The effective measures that can be taken include keeping the perineum clean and dry, avoiding overwork, having regular sex under the protection of sterile penis sleeve or regularly expelling semen during sexual excitement, strengthening nutrition, improving the health of the body, proper physical exercise, enhancing the body's resistance, etc. These measures can not only help patients effectively alleviate the physiological and psychological symptoms, but also help prevent the re-infection of bacteria and other pathogenic microorganisms.
Therefore, do not ignore the harm of acute prostatitis. To make sure that the disease has been completely cured, you must respect the doctor's opinion, conduct bacterial tests and other tests in time, and ensure that the bacteria have been completely removed before slowly stopping taking medicine. Otherwise, acute to chronic prostatitis will perplex patients for a longer time.
