Patient's question:
My husband has always been in good health, but he only discovered prostatitis in the past two years. At first, I suspected he was having an affair, but he denied it and insisted he wasn't cheating. Now, he has a longer time during intimacy and also experiences frequent urination. What are the causes of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostate diseases are the most common high-prevalence conditions in men. The primary pathway is urinary tract infection, where retrograde transmission of urine from the urethral prostate portion spreads back into the prostate gland ducts, leading to bacterial inflammation and epithelial cell shedding. This also creates favorable conditions for bacterial growth. Prostatitis tends to recur easily, requiring long-term medication maintenance. For male patients, it is crucial to seek professional and reputable medical treatment immediately. Treatment should be considered based on examination results, and attention should be paid to controlling sexual activity while maintaining a positive mood.
