Patient's question:
I've been having some issues with urination these days. I've been diagnosed with prostatitis. Now I understand, what could have caused this?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, aseptic 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 aseptic prostatitis is still unclear.
