To diagnose acute prostatitis is necessary to undergo digital rectal examination during which doctor identifies that prostate gland is increased and painful.
Besides this, to find infection nature should be made urine culture test. In case of acute prostate, urine test shows increased number of red blood cells, white blood cells, bacteria and protide. Prostate gland secretion test is contraindicated due to severe pain.
Ultrasound examination of prostate gland helps to detect its abscess.
Treatment of acute prostatitis
In bacterial prostatitis are prescribed antibiotics during quite long period of 30 – 90 days. Over shorter period of time the antibiotic would just partially kill the infection in the body which may result in chronic prostatitis. Besides antibiotics also are prescribed anti-spasmatic and anti-inflammatory drugs.
If there was developed abscess of prostate, the only treatment here is surgery during which surgeon opens abscess to remove white matter with further rinsing with antiseptic solution.
In case of non-infectious prostatitis are prescribed heat bath, prostate gland massage and small enema. To relieve from pain it is necessary to take anaesthetics and spasmolytic drugs. It is recommended also to take mild lapactics and drink plenty of water.
