The insidency of the disease lies in the invisibility of the symptoms in an initial phase of development of prostatitis. If it does not detect the disease in time, it goes to the chronic stadium, bringing pain in progress, urination problems, a decrease in libido and in some cases the exclusion of sexual life. The symptoms of prostatitis and its treatment in men can differ. In the absence of adequate treatment, about half of patients threaten impotence and infertility.
The causes of the disease
A common cause of prostatitis in men is a bacterial infection in the body. The catalysts of the disease, as a rule, are hypothermia, various inflammatory processes that occur in the body and transferred sexual transmission diseases. This is an incomplete list of pathogens. Other possible causes of the disease:

The main characteristics and symptoms
Prostatitis is a disease that is easier to prevent than to cure. There are several options for its classifications, but among these it is worth highlighting three main forms of the disease: acute, chronic and stagnant. Based on the symptoms of the types of disease described below, the diagnostic doctor one of the existing forms of the disease in the patient.
In acute prostatitis
The disease often develops suddenly, as an acute inflammation with characteristic symptoms of this disease. In the presence of this form of prostatitis, the man's temperature rises to 38-39 degrees, groin pains appear, in the area of the anal passage, behind pubis. Defecation and urination processes are invariably accompanied by acute pain.
In a chronic form
Symptoms of chronic prostatitis and its treatment in men are more often diagnosed with an acute disorder form. The disease at the beginning practically does not disturb a person. The symptoms, although similar to signs of acute prostatitis, manifest themselves to a minimum. Body temperature only occasionally can rise to 37 degrees, sometimes discomfort in the groin and at the time of urination. One of the characteristic symptoms of a chronic form is the characteristic exhaust from the urethra.
Prostatitis often develops as a complication of any infectious disease, which is transmitted sexually, for example tricomoniasis, chlamydia, ureplamosis. During the disease, only insignificant symptoms occur: the discomfort during urination becomes more expressive, pain in the perineum occurs more often, during defecation, the liquid is released by the urethra. Often the signs are so weak that a man does not even notice them.
After a certain time, the patient observes the problems of the erectile function. The doctors associate him with the transition of inflammation to the nerves that passes through the prostate gland, which are responsible for the erection. A chronic disease negatively affects the general well -being and mood of a man. Often there are irritability, unusual discontinct for the patient.
Stagnant
This form of the disease is inherent in men who guide a passive lifestyle and has no regular sexual contacts. The stagnation of prostatitis, as a rule, affects mature representatives of the strongest sex, but also occurs in young people. The problem can proceed against the background of chronic prostatitis, but its presence is due to other causes. The main symptom of a stagnant disease is a violation of the function of the parental system.
The beginning of the development of prostatitis is characterized by the inflammation of the production paths and the exfoliation of epithelium, which causes pain during urination. However, even insignificant complications when you go to the bathroom for a man should become the reason for the journey by the urologist. The serious cases of congestive prostatitis are full of the complete cessation of the functioning of the urethra.
The second characteristic symptom of the disease is a gradual violation of the erection. In men, with the development of stagnant prostatitis, the erectile function decreases, orgasm is opaque. Over time, sexual dysfunction begins to develop very quickly. In addition, stagnant prostatitis is often characterized by a characteristic burning sensation in the horse or in the urethra area of men. The symptom also has itching in the inguinal region, an increase in body temperature, signs of intoxication.
