Prostatitis

Symptoms can vary depending on the type and severity, but patients often describe:

• Burning or pain when urinating
• The urge to urinate frequently, even in tiny amounts
• Having trouble initiating or sustaining urine flow
• In cases of unexpected infections, fever with chills
• Less bodily aches or back pain
• Pain behind the scrotum, in the groin, or in the lower abdomen
• Pain or pressure in the rectal area
• Ejaculations that hurt
• A decrease in sexual desire
• In severe cases, the inability to pass urine

Some men feel embarrassed discussing these symptoms. As medical experts, we encourage open communication at UMC Hospitals, the best urology hospital in Navi Mumbai, with early evaluation and effective treatment.

Prostatitis is classified into four main categories:

• Acute bacterial prostatitis
  A bacterial infection causes acute prostatitis. Symptoms include fever and chills. You may experience painful and frequent urination or have trouble urinating.
• Chronic bacterial prostatitis
  Bacteria also cause this type of prostatitis. Symptoms may come on gradually, and it can take longer to treat.
• Chronic prostatitis or chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS)
  The most common type. Pain and urinary symptoms may come and go without a clear infection. The exact cause is not always identified.
• Asymptomatic inflammatory prostatitis
  No noticeable symptoms. It is often detected incidentally during evaluation for infertility or an elevated PSA level.

Accurate diagnosis is essential because treatment differs for each type. Evaluation may include:

• A thorough medical history
• Digital rectal examination
• Urine examinations
• Blood tests, such as PSA, when necessary
• Ultrasound in some situations

Completing the recommended course of treatment is essential to preventing recurrence, even if symptoms improve early.

Treatment depends on the underlying cause:

• Antibiotics: Essential for bacterial types. Duration may range from two weeks to several weeks.
• Alpha blockers: Help relax the prostate and bladder neck muscles, improving urine flow.
• Pain relievers and anti-inflammatory medicines
• Hydration and lifestyle measures
• Pelvic floor therapy in selected chronic pain cases

In acute bacterial prostatitis, hospitalization may be required if symptoms are severe. Reach out to UMC Hospitals for the best prostate surgery in Navi Mumbai if required.

Immediate medical attention is needed if there is:

• High fever with chills
• Severe pain
• Inability to pass urine
• Vomiting or weakness

Delaying care in such situations can lead to complications.
