The prostate gland grows thanks to the male hormone testosterone. As men age, the prostate gland begins to enlarge, leading to prostate enlargement. Because the prostate gland is located just below the bladder, this condition can compress the bladder and urethra, leading to symptoms such as frequent urination and difficulty urinating, according to the health website Medical News Today (UK).
Abdominal pain is one of the symptoms of prostatitis.
However, prostate enlargement is not the only health problem related to the prostate. Men can suffer from prostatitis. This is caused by acute or chronic infection.
Research by the Cleveland Clinic (USA) non-profit medical center estimates that about 50% of men will suffer from prostatitis at some point in their lives. The disease will cause the body to suffer from some typical inflammatory symptoms.
The first symptoms to look for when you have prostatitis are fever and nausea. However, these symptoms can easily be confused with a cold or flu.
To determine whether it is prostatitis or not, the patient needs to pay attention to some other symptoms. The prostate is located near the bladder, so if it is inflamed, it will cause abdominal pain and discomfort in the groin and genital area. The patient will also often have to urinate, urinate a lot, have pain when urinating, especially blood in the urine.
When noticing these unusual signs, the patient needs to go to the hospital for examination soon. If left untreated, the infection in the prostate can spread, leading to the formation of pus pockets and prolonged pain.
One of the first treatments doctors often use when treating prostatitis is antibiotics. Common antibiotics used to treat this condition are doxycycline and ciprofloxacin.
However, some cases of prostatitis can be resistant to antibiotics. When antibiotics are no longer effective, doctors may intervene surgically. In addition, patients may also be prescribed some supplements such as quercetin, beta-sitosterol and vitamin C.
Once cured, to prevent recurrence, men need to take some preventive measures such as exercising regularly, drinking water, reducing alcohol and spicy foods, according to Medical News Today.
