Patient's question:
Urinary discomfort, perineal discomfort, heaviness, fullness, decreased libido, and painful ejaculation. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I had prostatitis. I'm very worried about my health. What are the causes of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The main cause of prostatitis is the infection of various pathogenic microorganisms, including viruses, mycoplasmas, chlamydiae, bacteria, spirochetes, fungi, and trichomonads, which can lead to sepsis. The patient's resistance is severely compromised, leading to recurrent fungal prostatitis. The primary route of prostatitis is urinary tract infection, where descending infection from the urethra to the prostate gland causes retrograde spread into the prostatic ducts, resulting in bacterial inflammation. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. Therefore, symptomatic treatment, regular sexual activity, and avoiding prolonged sitting are necessary.
