Prostatitis Causes and Symptoms

Inflammation of the prostate causes urinary symptoms, increased frequency of urination, sensation of urgency to urinate, pain or discomfort in the genital region, and can radiate to the lower lumbar region, rectum, the area immediately above the pubis or external genitalia. In the case of acute prostatitis, these symptoms are usually accompanied by high fever, usually with chills and general disturbance.

In chronic prostatitis symptoms are weak but more or less continuous intensity seasons. But it may be that there is no such overlapping. In short, the prostatitis causes the following symptoms:

  • Increased urinary frequency
  • Pain in lower abdomen
  • Pain in the anus
  • Painful urination
  • Decreased force of urine stream
  • recurrent urinary tract infections
  • perineal pain or pelvic floor
  • Testicle pain
  • Pain or burning during urination
  • Pain with bowel movement
  • Bloody urine
  • Incontinence
  • Abnormal urine color

Some factors may dispose a person to develop chronic prostatitis. In chronic prostatitis, antibiotics are used as sulfonamides, quinolones and tetracyclines, erythromycin and nitrofurantoin. Long-term treatment is performed in 6 to 8 weeks and probably much more, and yet the symptoms are recurrent. Causing bacteria are also common to produce a urinary tract infection (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus, etc.).
