- Frequent painful urination with purulent discharge from the urethra;
- Hyperthermia;
- Chills;
- Symptoms of body intoxication.
This condition requires immediate medical attention and antibiotic therapy that can penetrate into the tissue of the gland in the shortest possible time, effective against specific pathogens.
Chronic prostatitis can be a complication of an acute form of the disease that has not been sufficiently treated or suffered without treatment.
Symptoms of prolonged inflammation of the prostate:
- Drawing pains in the perineum, radiating to the rectum and pelvic organs;
- Difficulty urinating with a burning sensation;
