Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing occasional dull pain in the lower abdomen, which has been getting worse. I've also noticed some urinary frequency and occasional burning sensation at the urethral opening. Additionally, I've been experiencing premature ejaculation and a lack of pleasure during ejaculation. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor diagnosed me with prostatitis. What could be the causes of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The causes of prostatitis are believed by most scholars to be primarily due to pathogen infection, urinary dysfunction, psychological and mental factors, neuroendocrine factors, abnormal autoimmune reactions, and dysfunction of the lower urinary tract epithelium, among others. If symptoms of prostatitis reappear, it is important to seek medical attention promptly for a thorough examination and accurate diagnosis, followed by symptomatic treatment to ensure a speedy recovery. The treatment of prostatitis requires a certain amount of time to yield effective results. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can help reduce the risk of recurrence.
