Prostatitis symptoms are not specific and find a series of urological and non -urological diseases. There are differences in the course of acute and chronic forms of prostatitis.
Signs of acute prostatitis:

- Severe pain in the perineum, covering the inguinal region and intensifying during urination or defecation.
- Frequent urinating to urinate, which do not bring relief due to the incomplete emptying of the bladder. In severe cases, acute urinary retention can be developed.
Acute prostatitis without timely treatment can end with formidable complications- The abscess of the prostate gland, acute epididimitis (inflammation of the testicle appendix), pyelonephritis (acute delay in urine and sepsis).
The first signs of chronic prostatitis can be worn and implicit. Unlike acute form, chronic prostatitis can have an asymptomatic course and often flow without pronounced characteristic symptoms (that is, latent). Patients do not pay due attention to discomfort and do not consider necessary to seek medical help. The reason to find a doctor is only symptoms as problems with power and psycho -emocional disorders that have emerged on this basis.

The pain characteristic is diverse: these are pain, pain without a clear location, covering the lower part of the abdomen, the crotch, the urethra, the scrotum, the intensification after sexual relations and ejaculation. It is the last symptom that makes men resort to the urologist.
