Chronic
nonbacterial prostatitis: This is the most common form of
prostatitis. Its occurrence is nearly eight times more than the
bacterial prostatitis. In this type of prostate infection, the tests
give negative result. Chronic non-bacterial prostate infection is
found in men of all age groups. This type of prostate infection is
normally detected in case of infertility. But the symptoms go away
only to reoccur.
The
symptoms noticed in this infection are listed below:
• Burning sensation during and after urinating
• Pain in the genital area
• Bowel movement problem
• Pain while ejaculation
Prostatodynia:
Prostatodynia is also called chronic pelvic pain syndrome. There is
no visible bacterial infection in the prostate or the urinary tract.
These symptoms are normally treated with antibiotics. But the
antibiotics are unable to really eliminate the root cause of the
problem.
The symptoms
are:
• Impotence
• Pain in the pelvic region
• Blood in urine and/or semen
• Pain during ejaculation
• Urgent need to urinate
• Fever
• Lower back pain
Treating
Prostate Infection
• Antibiotics
are normally prescribed for treating prostate symptoms. But it has
been observed that many a times physicians have problems in
diagnosing whether the prostatitis is bacterial or non-bacterial.
This problem is faced due to the antibiotics taken previously for a
similar problem.
• Rarely a surgery of the urethra or the prostate is advocated. But
it is advisable to seek a second opinion on the same.
• Foods rich in vitamin E should be consumed to maintain prostate
health. It is an antioxidant and fights the free radicals in the
body.
• Caffeine and alcoholic drinks should be avoided. Beer needs to be
avoided as it is harmful. .
• Consumption of soy products should be increased. Soy contains
isoflavones, which prevents prostate enlargement and prostate
cancer.
• Foods rich in zinc should be consumed. Zinc is said to reduce the
size of the prostate glands and prostate infection symptoms. Pumpkin
seeds are a rich source of zinc.
• Flaxseed oil prevents inflammation and swelling.
• Some patients are advised against cycling in case of prostate
symptoms.
• Warm tub baths for the pelvic muscles help in alleviating the pain
and also help in relaxing the lower abdominal muscle.
Most of the
symptoms of prostate infection are common. In case of the above
mentioned symptoms, it is advisable to seek medical help
immediately. It's better to arrest the infection in the latent
stage, than curing it in the advanced stage.
