Patient's question:
I have been quite busy at work and rarely active. When I'm busy at work, I don't even have time to go to the bathroom. Recently, I've been constantly wanting to go to the bathroom, and when I do, not much comes out. I'm afraid I might have prostatitis. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis can be caused by frequent drug use, excessive alcohol consumption, cycling, horseback riding, and other activities that can lead to prostatic congestion, which is closely related to the onset of prostatitis. Ignoring cold exposure can lead to sympathetic nerve activity in the prostate, resulting in increased urethral pressure. Due to contraction, metabolism is obstructed, leading to accumulation and congestion. This is also a cause of prostatitis. Some sexually transmitted diseases, such as gonococcal urethritis, are common, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae enters the prostate through the urethra and prostatic ducts, causing prostatitis.
