Patient's question:
I found out a few weeks ago that I have prostatitis. What could have caused it?Doctor's answer:
The etiology of male prostatitis is primarily due to the direct extension of urinary tract infections, hematogenous dissemination of infection foci from other parts of the body, and prostatic calculi. Additionally, various factors leading to prostatic congestion, such as excessive alcohol consumption, sexual stimulation, prolonged sitting, tight clothing, chronic cross-legged positions, and perineal injuries, are also contributing factors. It is recommended to undergo a routine prostatic fluid examination and treat based on the results of the examination. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication according to their symptoms and maintain a regular lifestyle, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
