The symptoms of cystitis in men can vary depending on the stage of development of the disease. In the early stages of the onset of an inflammatory process in the bladder, the symptoms may not be pronounced. The acute phase of the disease continues with pronounced clinical signs. In the absence of adequate treatment, cystitis can weaken somewhat, turning into a chronic form, followed by periodic irritations. Conservative therapy consists of the use of folk remedies and remedies.
reason
Cystitis in men develops against the background of an infectious lesion. May provoke this disease:
- chlamydia;
- coli;
- staphylococci;
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
These infections can spread from nearby organs to the bladder area. As a rule, cystitis is associated with diseases such as renal tuberculosis, prostatitis, chronic pyelonephritis and other pathologies.
There are factors under the influence of which cystitis actively develops. This includes:
- stressful situations;
- hypothermia;
- decreased immunity against the background of other pathologies;
- urine stasis in the bladder region.
The negative effects of chemicals on urine increase the risk of disease. Urolithiasis can cause the development of cystitis if it occurs with damage to the stone mucosa.
Symptoms
The symptoms of cystitis in men are determined by the form of the pathology. The chronic phase of the disease continues with the following clinical symptoms:
- decrease in urine volume in an act of urination;
- increased desire to empty the bladder;
- pain in the suprapubic part;
- turbid urine, formation of mucus in it;
- burning and discomfort while urinating.
Acute cystitis in men causes the following symptoms:
- false and frequent desire to go to the toilet;
- a sharp decrease in urine volume;
- severe pain syndrome during urine diversion;
- incontinence;
- the act of urination is impossible without effort.
When the disease becomes severe, the symptoms change slightly. A man may experience fever, severe weakness, intoxication. Urine may contain impurities of pus, mucus. In some cases, blood stains are found and the smell becomes unpleasant.
Chronic cystitis manifests itself quite poorly, and during periods of remission, the disease causes no symptoms at all. The acute phase of the disease can significantly reduce the patient's quality of life.
With cystitis, the following consequences are possible:
- inflammation of the renal system - pyelonephritis;
- inflammation of the mucosa of the urethra (urethra) with further scarring;
- spread of pathology in the prostate gland.
Treatment
If the disease is mild, then it can be treated at home. Medicines and tools from traditional medicine are used for this.
Both medication and alternative treatment should be prescribed by the attending physician. You can not self-medicate without prior consultation, as this can lead to the above complications.
During the acute course of the disease, the patient should stay in bed and drink plenty of fluids. At the time of treatment, he should limit the intake of salty and spicy foods, alcohol and strong coffee, so as not to irritate the bladder mucosa.
medicaments
Since cystitis develops against the background of damage from pathogenic flora, antibiotics are usually used to eliminate the cause of the disease:
- Penicillin. Preference is given to semi-synthetic penicillins, which are used in combination with clavulanic acid.
- Cephalosporins. This group of antibiotics is used if the first group is not tolerated by patients or microorganisms are resistant to them.
- Nitrofurans and fluoroquinolones.
If cystitis is provoked by viruses, then antiviral drugs are used. With a fungal infection, special drugs are prescribed to the patient.
Antispasmodics are used to relieve pain. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are used to eliminate inflammation of the bladder.
