Patient's question:
I've had some issues with urination these days and have been diagnosed with prostatitis. Now I understand what might have caused it?Doctor's answer:
There are several causes of prostatitis, which may be caused by microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, etc., or by long-term bad habits. Prostatitis is divided into acute bacterial prostatitis, chronic bacterial prostatitis, non-bacterial prostatitis, and prostatodynia. Acute bacterial prostatitis is mostly caused by microbial infection, with common pathogens including Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, Enterococcus, etc. Prolonged sitting and frequent bicycle riding are also closely related to the onset of prostatitis. The cause of non-bacterial prostatitis is still unclear.
