Patient's question:
I have been living with my uncle's family since I was a child. Recently, it is said that my uncle is sick. They said he suffers from chronic prostatitis, but I don't understand what the cause is. I would like to ask what chronic prostatitis is.Doctor's answer:
Chronic prostatitis is essentially considered to be caused by chronic bacterial infection or long-lasting prostatic disease, which has a higher possibility of symptom manifestation. From a clinical diagnostic perspective, it is also the most challenging to treat, requiring understanding. The causes can be mycoplasma infection or bacterial infection, with a small portion being fibrosis of the prostate gland itself. In addition to timely treatment for prostatitis, friends with the condition should always maintain a positive attitude to face the disease. Only in this way can they enhance their immunity and the belief to combat the disease. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care and monitor changes in their symptoms, believing that this will definitely drive away prostatitis.
