Prostatitis
Surya Hospitals’ Urology Department provide specialised care for prostatitis, a disorder characterised by inflammation of the prostate gland. Our skilled urologists are committed to detecting, treating, and managing prostatitis in order to provide patients with comfort and recover their prostate health.
What exactly is Prostatitis?
Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland, a small walnut-shaped organ in males found below the bladder. Acute bacterial prostatitis, persistent bacterial prostatitis, chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS), and silent inflammatory prostatitis are all possible types.
Prostatitis Causes
Bacterial infections, non-bacterial inflammation, pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, and autoimmune illnesses are all possible causes of prostatitis. Bacterial prostatitis is frequently caused by bacteria entering the prostate via the urinary tract. Non-bacterial prostatitis can be caused by pelvic trauma, stress, or unknown reasons.
Prostatitis Symptoms
Prostatitis symptoms might vary based on the type and severity of the ailment. The following are some common indications and symptoms:
- Urge to urinate frequently
- During urinating, you may experience pain or a burning sensation.
- Difficulty starting or continuing to urinate
- Discomfort or pain in the pelvic region, lower back, or genital area
- Ejaculation is excruciatingly painful.
- Blood in the pee or sperm
- Acute bacterial prostatitis causes flu-like symptoms (fever, chills, and body pains).
Treatment and Diagnosis
Surya Hospitals’ urology professionals use a comprehensive approach to properly diagnose and treat prostatitis. A thorough medical history review, physical examination, urine analysis, prostate fluid culture, and imaging techniques are commonly used to make a diagnosis. Our experts may also conduct extra tests. If necessary, other underlying conditions should be ruled out.
Treatment options for prostatitis are determined by the type and severity of the illness. Our trained urologists will create a treatment plan that is unique to each patient’s needs. Treatment options may include:
- Antibiotic Therapy: In situations with bacterial prostatitis, antibiotics are indicated to treat the infection.
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) or alpha-blockers may be recommended to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve urine symptoms.
- Physical therapy can help reduce pelvic pain and improve muscular function by using pelvic floor muscle exercises and biofeedback techniques.
- Lifestyle modifications: To support prostate health, our healthcare specialists may advise you on lifestyle modifications such as dietary changes, stress management, and appropriate hydration.
- Pain Control: For chronic prostatitis or persistent pain our physicians may offer pain treatment measures such as nerve blocks or other interventional procedures.
- Counselling & Support: Because we understand the emotional burden of prostatitis, we provide counselling and support services to treat any psychological or emotional issues that may arise as a result of the illness.
