Patient's question:
In the past two years, many people around me have suffered from prostatitis, and I worry that I might also experience this condition one day. How can I avoid getting prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
From a medical perspective, prostatitis refers to a prostate disease caused by various complex reasons, primarily characterized by urinary irritation symptoms and chronic pelvic pain. Prostatitis is a common condition in urology. Prevention efforts for prostatitis require implementing habits in daily life, such as urinating and defecating on time every day. If holding it in for too long or having incomplete bowel movements, bacteria can be directly pushed into the prostate, making it easy for them to enter through the rectal mucosa, leading to prostatitis. Additionally, alcohol and smoking should be strictly prohibited, as they can easily irritate the prostate, causing congestion and prostatitis. It is also important to avoid standing or sitting for prolonged periods.
