Patient's question:
These days, I've been experiencing frequent urination and urgency, having to run to the bathroom three or four times an hour. I felt something was wrong, so I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The report stated that I had chronic prostatitis. Besides prostatic hyperplasia, what causes chronic prostatitis, and how did I get prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Chronic prostatitis is usually caused by excessive sexual activity and masturbation leading to excessive congestion of the prostate, or by urine flowing back into the prostate due to frequent urination and incomplete emptying of the bladder. Additionally, long-term ineffective treatment of viral infections may also lead to chronic prostatitis. Furthermore, if you drink beer excessively, stay up late frequently, and eat spicy, greasy, and irritating foods, this may also be a cause of prostatitis. Prostatitis is a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek timely treatment and follow their doctor's recommendations for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition. The above information is hoped to assist you. Thank you.
