Acute Bacterial Prostatitis

Acute bacterial prostatitis is a common infectious disease of the genitourinary system in men. It occurs against the background of a genitourinary tract infection and is manifested by chills, fever, pain in the lower abdomen and perineum, an acute urge or difficulty urinating. This disease can lead to urinary retention and blood in the urine. Severe pain or burning may also occur when urinating.

If you experience these symptoms, you should consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment. The doctor will conduct an examination and determine the cause of the symptoms. Typically, urine and blood tests are used for diagnosis, as well as direct digital examination of the prostate.

Acute bacterial prostatitis is treated with antimicrobial drugs. Depending on the severity of the disease and the identified causative agent, the doctor may prescribe a course of antibiotics. In addition, your doctor may recommend the use of anti-inflammatory drugs and pain relievers to help relieve symptoms.

In some cases, hospitalization may be required for more effective treatment. During hospitalization, the patient may be prescribed intravenous antibiotics and other medications.

In general, acute bacterial prostatitis is a disease that is easily treatable if therapy is started on time. It is important to see a doctor immediately after symptoms appear to avoid complications and quickly return to a healthy lifestyle.
