Patient's question:
My husband always has frequent urination and urgency. Besides the pain symptoms, after a thorough examination at the urology hospital, it was said that he had prostatitis. At that time, I saw that in the ward, besides the two other patients who also had this condition, their ages were roughly similar. I don't know if men are more prone to this disease at this age. What are the factors that cause the disease?Doctor's answer:
Due to the weakened resistance of the body, highly virulent bacteria or other pathogens transmit to the prostate and rapidly grow and adapt, which leads to, mostly through hematogenous transmission or retrograde urethral transmission. The pathogens are mainly Escherichia coli, followed by Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, etc., most of which are single pathogen infections. Prostatitis can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to relapse after treatment.
