Prostate inflammation diseases
Asymptomatic inflammatory prostatitis:
It is an inflammation of the prostate gland without causing any clinical symptoms. It is detected incidentally during clinical examination.
Acute bacterial prostatitis:
It is the name given to the painful inflammation that develops suddenly when the prostate gland is infected by various microorganisms. It is formed by bacteria coming from the adjacent prostate tissue or through blood. Sometimes non-microbial inflammations are also involved. Especially in young men, because the symptoms are similar, it is mistakenly mistaken for Prostatic Hyperplasia. In the first acute period of the event, inability to urinate or making it difficult, frequent urination, weakness, fatigue, fever, chills, pain in the lower back and groin, pain in the joints and muscles, sometimes a drop or two of blood occurs.
Diagnosis is made by careful rectal examination of the prostate and by urine and blood tests. In the analysis of urine, leukocytosis and bleeding are observed in the blood leukocytosis.
Bed rest, appropriate antibiotics, painkillers, and serum are given in the treatment. The duration of treatment should last at least 4-6 weeks, otherwise chronic prostatitis and abscess may develop. Serious patients should be hospitalized and treated. Prostate inflammation can become chronic if not treated well. In this case, it is more difficult to treat. As a precaution to prevent prostate inflammation, it is necessary not to stay in the cold, not to walk around in a wet swimsuit in the summer, to empty the postal secretion at regular intervals, not to be constipated, and not to sit on the breech all the time.
Chronic bacterial prostatitis:
This can be defined as a prolonged infection of the prostate gland invaded by microorganisms or causing recurrent episodes of acute prostatitis.
It is characterized by recurrent and worsening urinary tract infection due to the persistence of bacteria in prostate secretions despite antibiotic therapy. Patients typically present with burning during urination, inability to urinate, frequent urination, frequent toileting at night, and pain in the lower back/crotch area. Sometimes there are no complaints. In the urinalysis, leukocytes and bacteria can be seen. In general, blood tests are normal, sometimes PSA may be elevated. In treatment, appropriate antibiotics should be given for a long time, sometimes for 3-4 months. Low-dose suppressive antibiotics can be used at night. Removal of the prostate by closed surgery is rarely a solution in resistant patients.
Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (KP/KPAS):
It is the most common type of prostatitis. It is a condition characterized by pain and discomfort throughout the pelvic region as a result of inflammation of the nerve network around the gland, along with the prostate gland.
