Prostate pain

Possible solutions:

Prostatitis – ESWT shock wave treatment

Problem description

The cause of pain in the prostate area is usually chronic prostatitis. It is not only a disease of older men but also of younger age groups. There are several forms of prostatitis: 1. Acute bacterial prostatitis. It is caused by bacteria and is manifested by acute symptoms such as chills and fever, pain in the lower back, lower abdomen, perineum, burning during urination and inability to urinate. 2. Chronic bacterial prostatitis is also caused by bacteria, but has a long course and its symptoms are pain in the lower abdomen and perineum, occasional burning during urination, lack of desire for sex and often erectile dysfunction. 3. Chronic pelvic pain syndrome is the most common form of prostatitis. It has a long course, but without the presence of infection. It can be inflammatory or non-inflammatory. It manifests itself similarly to chronic bacterial prostatitis, mainly with pain in the perineum, testicles, penis and bladder area, pain during urination and ejaculation. The disease has periods of improvement and worsening. 4. Asymptomatic inflammatory prostatitis is an asymptomatic disease that is discovered incidentally during a urological examination or prostate biopsy.

Diagnosis of prostatitis involves a thorough history, examination of urine, prostate secretions, ejaculate, palpation of the prostate, and ultrasonography.

Treatment of prostatitis involves the use of antibiotics (in the case of bacterial prostatitis), nonsteroidal analgesics, alpha-blockers, herbal preparations, antimuscarinics, and heat application. A highly effective method of treating chronic prostatitis is ESWT (shock wave therapy). Chronic prostatitis (abacterial) and chronic pelvic pain syndrome are optimal indications for shock wave treatment. The ESWT method consists of applying extracorporeal shock waves to prostate calcifications to which bacteria adhere. The shock wave effect destroys the calcifications, which are phagocytized by leukocytes and subsequently more easily eliminated by the body’s own immune system. The treatment is outpatient, does not require hospitalization.
