Patient's question:
What causes prostatitis? What kind of assistance do you need: What causes prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
There are several causes of prostatitis, including microbial infections, prostatic congestion, autoimmune factors, allergies, and psychological factors. If prostatitis is not treated promptly or properly, it tends to recur frequently, leading to chronic treatment-resistant conditions. It may also cause secondary nerve diseases or affect sexual function, and in severe cases, it can even result in infertility. The prostate is a unique organ with a hard lipid capsule that acts as a drug barrier, making it difficult for medications to penetrate the affected areas. Therefore, the effectiveness of purely medicinal treatment is not very good, and a combination of physical therapy and medication is necessary. Additionally, systemic antibiotic use does not easily achieve effective concentrations in the prostate, which can impact treatment efficacy.
