PROSTATITIS; It adverse effect and treatment

Infection of the prostate gland may come through the bloodstream from some focus elsewhere in the body, but more often it comes from germs that pass upward through the urethra. A chronic infection in the prostrate may in turn act as a focus of infection. Sometimes the gland is acutely infected, or even abscessed. This causes frequency of urination, with pain and burning, both day and night; pain in the back, rectum, perineum, etc; blood or pus in urine; a urethral discharge; chills and fever; and general prostration. With chronic infection, the chills and fever are not likely to be present; blood rarely shows in the urine, a urethral discharge is uncommon, and all the other symptoms are less severe, but there is likely to be a persistent feeling of fullness or discomfort in the region of the gland. A chronic congestion of the prostrate, without infection, may result from sexual excitement, especially if not relieved by sexual intercourse; and it may produce a sensation of fullness in the external genitals, and sometimes generalized feelings of lassitude and nervousness. CAUSES However, causes of prostatitis include the following; 1. Cystitis 2. Dissemination of blood from distant sources of infection 3. Sexual relations with a person infected with trichomoniasis 4. Blennorhagia: an STD also known as gonorrhea PHYSICAL TREATMENT For the physical treatment of prostatitis, the following will suffice if treatment is taken with due care 1.
