Have you felt discomfort when urinating, pelvic pain, or changes in sexual function? These symptoms could be related to a condition called prostatitis. Below, we explain in a clear and simple way what this problem consists of, when to seek help and how Fisitania can accompany you in the recovery process.

Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate gland, a small male organ located below the bladder. It should be noted that this disorder can have different causes and is not always related to infections. Prostatitis frequently affects young and adult men, often reducing their quality of life.

• Acute bacterial prostatitis: It occurs suddenly, with high fever, strong discomfort when urinating and general malaise. It is important to see a doctor as soon as possible.
• Chronic bacterial prostatitis: It is a less intense but longer infection, with symptoms that can come and go.
• Chronic prostatitis or chronic pelvic pain syndrome: It is the most common form and its main characteristic is persistent pelvic pain and urinary or sexual problems, without bacteria present.
• Asymptomatic inflammatory prostatitis: In this case there is inflammation, but the patient does not notice symptoms and it is usually detected only in medical check-ups.

Although any man can develop prostatitis, the risk is higher from the age of 35 or if you have suffered previous urinary infections, urological interventions, sedentary lifestyle or stress. If you experience pain or burning when urinating, pelvic discomfort, urinary difficulty or pain in ejaculation, it is advisable to consult a professional.

What many do not know is that physiotherapy, especially that specialized in male pelvic floor, can be key to improving the symptoms associated with prostatitis, especially in cases where there is no active infection.

• First, physical therapy offers a personalized evaluation to detect tensions, muscle weakness or painful points in the pelvic area.
• In addition, manual techniques are applied that help relax the muscles and reduce pain.
• Likewise, specialized exercises aimed at strengthening, coordinating and making the pelvic floor flexible are taught.
• On the other hand, postural or daily life habits that may negatively influence the evolution of the condition are reviewed and improved.
• Advanced therapies are also used, such as functional magnetic stimulation, which optimize recovery without discomfort.
• Finally, education is provided on self-care and relapse prevention.

Thanks to this global approach, physiotherapy makes it possible to reduce pain, improve urinary and sexual function and restore quality of life, in a natural way and adapted to each patient.
