Acute prostatitis

Description:

Acute prostatitis is the serious illness caused by hit of an infection in a prostate and shown its hypostasis and formation of purulent cavities in prostate tissue.

Symptoms of Acute prostatitis:

The main displays of acute prostatitis are:

fervescence
intoxication
weakness, perspiration, increased fatigue
complicated, speeded up and an urodynia
pain in a crotch
Fervescence (sometimes with a fever), intoxication and deterioration in overall health are caused by absorption in blood of inflammatory exudate from a prostate. These symptoms which are the general for all inflammatory diseases can be expressed in various degree – from asymptomatic forms to a serious feverish condition.

Disturbances of an urination are caused by prostate hypostasis, and also a prelum and involvement in inflammatory process of tissues of urethra and a bladder. At distribution of an inflammation on a rectum and the cellulose surrounding a prostate crotch pains, frequent and painful desires on defecation, mucifying from a rectum develop.

At diagnosis of acute prostatitis the manual rectal research of a prostate is important. At the same time the prostate is increased and painful, the centers of the changed density caused by inflammatory process are noted.

Mandatory laboratory tests are the general blood test and the three-portion analysis of urine which should be carried out in one step with a manual rectal research.

Reasons of Acute prostatitis:

Bacteria get into a prostate gland mainly from an urethra (urethra). Except an urethritis, suppurative focuses in other bodies (for example at tonsillitis, quinsy, pneumonia, skin furuncles, etc.) can be sources of an infection.

Treatment of Acute prostatitis:

Due to the expressiveness of the symptoms testimonial of disease severity, and also danger of development of complications patients with acute prostatitis have to be hospitalized in an urological hospital.

The main direction of treatment of patients with the diagnosis of acute prostatitis is an antibioticotherapia. The choice of an antibiotic is rather serious problem. First, drug has to get well into prostate gland tissue, and, secondly, in connection with impossibility of early identification of the activator the action spectrum of drug has to be rather wide. Most tetracyclines and aminoglycosides meet these requirements. When subsiding inflammatory process antibiotics get into prostate tissue worse that causes the necessity to change the scheme of an antibioticotherapia.

For elimination of an inflammation also use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

During the acute period of prostatitis massage of a prostate is strictly contraindicated.

At early diagnosis and performing adequate treatment, as a rule, there comes full sanitation of a prostate from an infection. However in a large number of cases acute prostatitis passes into a chronic form.
