Patient's question:
I'm only 26 years old, don't have a girlfriend, and don't have any bad sexual habits, but I recently noticed that there's always white stuff coming out of my urethral opening, and it feels itchy and painful when I urinate. I think it might be prostatitis, so I'm asking: What are the causes of non-bacterial prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Nonbacterial prostatitis, the causes of which include drinking beer, smoking, frequent sexual activity or intercourse, overtime work, exposure to cold, chlamydia and mycoplasma infections, overexertion, and consuming spicy foods. Generally, a bacterial culture of prostatic fluid can distinguish between bacterial prostatitis and nonbacterial prostatitis. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to seek systematic and standardized examination at a reputable Grade-A hospital as soon as possible based on their specific condition to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
