Patient's question:
My boyfriend went to the hospital for a check-up yesterday and was told he has a prostatitis abscess. But he hasn't been feeling well these past few days. The doctor said that if this condition isn't treated promptly, it might affect his ability to have children. However, I think his daily routine is quite normal.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the hazards include these: Prostatitis abscesses are often secondary to acute bacterial prostatitis, urethritis, and epididymitis. As the inflammation progresses to the surrounding tissues of the acini, it causes acinar necrosis, blood vessel rupture, and the formation of abscesses. The main features of prostatitis abscesses are a swollen prostate with fluctuation upon rectal examination and significant tenderness. General supportive and symptomatic treatments include bed rest, semi-recumbent position to facilitate localized inflammation, adequate nutrition and fluid intake, physical cooling when high fever occurs, correction of electrolyte disorders and acid-base balance, and sedatives and analgesics for severe pain.
