Patient's question:
Recently, I often feel a stinging sensation when urinating, and the frequency has increased. I feel like I don't empty my bladder completely, and after urinating for a while, I have the urge to urinate again. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was a symptom of prostatitis. What are the common causes of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The main cause of prostatitis is the transmission of various pathogenic microorganisms. Viruses, mycoplasmas, chlamydiae, bacteria, spirochetes, fungi, and trichomonads can all lead to prostatitis. The primary route is urinary tract infection, where the urinary tract descends from the urethra to the prostate gland and spreads backward into the prostate ducts. If not treated promptly, it can affect the overall health condition. Therefore, patients should take timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
