Cystitis is an inflammation of the bladder, impaired function and changes in urine testing.In most cases, cystitis is caused by infection.
Characteristics of cystitis in men
Men suffer from cystitis much less frequently than women.After all, the man's urethra is long and narrow.
The causes of cystitis in men are usually caused by problems with the prostate (inflammatory, tumor) transmitted through infection, urethral disease, kidney disease (kidney, pyelonephritis).Therefore, it is believed that cystitis is more severe for men than for women.The disease is more difficult and requires mandatory visits to urologists.The pathogenic drugs for infectious cystitis are usually bacteria, fewer viruses and mushrooms.
Symptoms of bladder inflammation
Symptoms of cystitis in men appear together with symptoms of urethritis:
- Increase urination to several times per hour;
- The urine is distributed in a very small part and the urine does not feel completely present;
- Rubber and pain when urinating in the groin and penis;
- It is difficult to urinate, and it is difficult for a person to start urinating.
- Change in color, shadows of urine (sometimes blood or pus);
- Pain in the lower abdomen sometimes causes pain to the rectum, and back pain is possible.
- Body temperature, chills, and weakness may increase.
If blood clots or life appear in the urine, or if the urine turns dark red, you need to contact a urologist urgently.This is a very serious symptom.
Causes of cystitis
The emergence of male cystitis has caused people to challenge:
- Infiltration of infection from the kidney (declined path) or urethra (ascending);
- Incomplete emptying of the bladder (due to increased prostate or narrowing of the urethra);
- Recent urology procedures (bladder catheter);
- Frequent changes in sexual partners (the risk of having gonorrhea, chlamydia and other transmitted diseases increases the risk of cystitis);
- Lower immunity, especially in older people or diabetics.
Acute, chronic, hemorrhagic cystitis
Chronic cystitisIn men, it occurs with undertreatment or improper treatment of acute cystitis.If you don’t eliminate the provocative factors in the first disease and don’t get rid of the infection in the bladder, the process will be deeper.Symptoms of chronic cystitis are similar to those of the acute form of the disease, but are less obvious.Chronic cystitis occurs twice or more every year.Men with chronic cystitis must undergo a comprehensive examination by a urologist to avoid missing out on more serious illnesses, such as oncology.
Hemorrhagic cystitis -This is inflammation of the bladder mucosa, accompanied by the release of blood in the urine.Hemorrhagic cystitis occurs frequently in men, especially in patients with prostate adenomas.The urine of this cystitis turns crimson.Change the color of urine to a dark red occasion to see a doctor urgently.If hemorrhagic cystitis is not treated for a prolonged period, iron deficiency develops due to the loss of red blood cells and hemoglobin in the urine.
Treatment of cystitis
If a person has cystitis, then this requires special attention from the patient and the doctor.The overall genital system is most likely to be fully processed.First, urologists must be consulted and they will conduct investigations and examinations.After the examination, the expert will specify the necessary tests and studies (the urine and ultrasound examination of the urine system must be analyzed).Based on the data obtained, the urologist will diagnose, revealing the causes and causing the factors in each case.
It should be noted that antibiotics are prescribed when treating cystitis.These medications must be taken exactly as the doctor's regulations.It is important that even if the symptoms of the disease disappear, and good symptoms of the disease are important.Often in men, painkillers and medications are accompanied by drugs that relieve inflammation to relieve the disease.That is, it will become easier at the start of treatment.
An important advice: It is best not to engage in sexual activity during cystitis treatment.
For cystitis, it is recommended that men eat more plant-based foods rich in vitamins.Fat, spicy, fried foods should be excluded.City doctors would recommend drinking a lot or less, as in each case it is separate.
