Doctor's answer:

The causes of prostatitis include:
Biological factors: Infections by various pathogenic microorganisms such as viruses, mycoplasmas, chlamydiae, bacteria, spirochetes, fungi, and trichomonads can lead to bacteremia. The primary route of transmission is urinary tract infection, where pathogens travel downward from the urethra to the prostate gland and spread into the prostatic ducts, causing infectious inflammation. Biological factors also include the state of the body's immune system. When the immune system is normal, even if pathogens are present in the urethra, they will not cause bacteremia. Conversely, if the immune system declines, bacteria that are normally non-pathogenic in the urinary system can cause bacteremia.
