Given the characteristics of the location in the body cancer and methods for diagnosis of prostatitis, some men ignore dangerous symptoms and are reluctant to visit a doctor. The treatment is effective if not to delay its beginning.
Prostatitis – urological disease of the prostate gland, which is a series of inflammatory processes. This disease there are 2 forms: acute and chronic. The acute form develops rapidly, and if not to take measures for its treatment, it goes into a chronic phase.
Symptoms of acute prostatitis are typical of any inflammation. Patients with high fever observed chills and fever. In the groin, sudden sharp pain that spreads to the anus. As a result, the processes of emptying the bladder can be painful and heavy.
In chronic prostatitis observed the same symptoms as in acute, but they are less pronounced and sometimes completely disappear for a short time.
In addition to pain and temperature in the chronic form of the disease there is discharge in small amounts that protrude from the urethra. If you do not take measures and not to proceed with treatment of the disease, the inflammatory process will expand, causing problems with erectile function and inflammation of the testicles. With the spread of the disease in the urinary system arise diseases such as cystitis and pyelonephritis.
