Patient's question:
The man is 30 years old and has been treating this disease for a long time. He has also been taking medication, but there has been no improvement. He is very frustrated and has tried many methods without success. Please ask: What is the difference between prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia are two types of diseases. Prostatitis occurs when there is inflammation inside the prostate. The inflammation that ordinary people are familiar with is infectious, such as bacterial infections, but in fact, prostatitis is classified as chronic prostatitis. More than 90% or even higher is not caused by microbial infections, such as bacteria, but rather an aseptic inflammatory response within the prostate. Some new studies have categorized it as pelvic congestion syndrome. A small portion of pelvic congestion syndrome is not caused by infectious factors but rather results from changes in work and living habits, such as prolonged sitting, leading to chronic congestion in the pelvic area and causing discomfort.
