- Serious pain in the perineum, covering the inguinal region and intensifying during urination or defecation.
- Frequent urinating urinating, which do not bring relief due to the incomplete emptying of the bladder. In serious cases, an acute urinary retention can develop.
Acute prostatitis without timely treatment can end with formidable complications- The abscess of the prostate gland, acute epididimitis (inflammation of the appendix of the testicle), pieelonefrite (acute delay in urination and sepsis).
The first signs of chronic prostatitis can be worn and implicit. Unlike the acute form, chronic prostatitis can have an asymptomatic path and often flow without characteristic symptoms pronounced (i. e. latent). Patients do not pay due attention to discomfort and do not consider it necessary to seek medical assistance. The reason for looking for a doctor is only symptoms such as problems with the power and psycho -emotional disorders that arose on this basis.

The characteristic of the pain is diversified: these are pains that pull, sore without a clear location, which covers the lower abdomen, the horse, the urethra, the scrotum, intensify after sexual intercourse and ejaculation. It is the last symptom that makes men turn to the urologist.
In men with chronic prostatitis, the duration of sexual intercourse can change, there may be an increase and shortening. Some men notice a change in the brightness of sexual sensations. The man should first pay attention to the fact that the flow of urine has become weak or there are difficulties, both at the beginning and at the end of the urination. Many patients have an incomplete feeling of the bladder.
