Chronic Prostatitis,
Its Symptoms and Risks
Chronic prostatitis is an infection and inflammation
of the prostate. It can affect men of any age, and it can cause
severe pain when urinating, pain in the groin, difficulty urinating,
and other problems. There are four types of prostatitis infections,
and two types of chronic prostatitis infections: acute bacterial,
asymptomatic inflammatory prostatitis, chronic bacterial, and chronic
pelvic pain.
Men who suffer from constant urinary tract infections likely suffer
from chronic bacterial prostatitis. Those who have chronic prostatitis
or chronic pelvic pain typically deal with symptoms for about three
months, which can range from mild to severe.
Men can be at risk of contracting chronic prostatitis
if they:
- Have rectal intercourse
- Have an atypical urinary tract
- Suffer from an enlarged prostate
- Have recently had a urinary catheter, or
other type of medical instrument
Other
symptoms that can affect men suffering from prostatitis include
chills, fever, painful ejaculation, nausea, vomiting, reoccurring
pain low in the abdomen, pain around the anus, blood in the urine,
pain during sexual intercourse, pain in the penis and the testicles,
and the like.
If you are experiencing any of the prostatitis and chronic prostatitis
symptoms, contact your physician immediately for more information
about chronic
prostatitis treatment. Leaving your ailment untreated can lead
to serious consequences, as well as a frequent discomfort in your
everyday life. Your doctor can accurately diagnose you to see if
you are indeed suffering from prostatitis or any other ailment.
