What are the causes of chronic prostatitis?

Patient's question:

Urinary urgency, frequent urination, pain during urination, or a burning sensation in the urethra are the causes of chronic prostatitis. What were the previous treatment conditions and effects? What are the reasons that do not cause chronic prostatitis?

Doctor's answer:

Reason 1: Repeated occurrence of unsafe sexual contact. During the treatment process, if one does not maintain self-discipline and engages in unsafe sexual contact again, or if the sexual partner does not understand the treatment and continues sexual activity without stopping, the likelihood of reinfection is very high, resulting in the condition recurring repeatedly.
Reason 2: Excessive foreskin or phimosis. In patients with excessive foreskin or phimosis, the moist environment under the foreskin not only harbors a large number of pathogens but also easily causes balanitis and urethritis. Some patients may even develop urethral stenosis, leading to increased urethral pressure during urination and obstruction of urine flow. Pathogens can then travel backward with the urine, causing reinfection.
