Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been feeling weak in my sexual performance. Also, when I go to the bathroom, I've noticed that my urine is cloudy, and there's some slight pain at the urethral opening. The check-up suggested it might be prostatitis. I'm really worried because I haven't had children yet. Could you please tell me what causes prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The causes of prostatitis include personal unhygienic lifestyle leading to bacterial infections, long-term alcohol consumption, spicy food intake, inappropriate sexual activity, prolonged sitting, which cause congestion in the local prostate tissue, as well as cold and fatigue leading to weakened immunity and recurrent specific constitutions. Additionally, many iatrogenic factors, such as improper urination techniques, can also trigger episodes of prostatitis.Patients should cultivate healthy daily habits, maintain regular routines, avoid smoking and alcohol, and engage in more physical exercise to enhance their immunity and prevent recurrence of the condition.
