I have been promoted to manager since last year. The manager often attends meetings, sometimes attending several meetings in a row, and sometimes even having to go inside for a long lunch break. I feel that my body is a bit unwell, so I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told that I have prostatitis. Why do men get prostatitis?

Doctor's answer:

Prostatitis is a common male disease that middle-aged and elderly men are prone to suffer from. Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate caused by various complex causes and triggers, including autoimmune, neuroendocrine, and intricate pathological changes such as sexual activity, sexual intercourse, prolonged sitting, smegma of the prepuce, and local urinary tract irritation. Symptoms include a burning sensation during urination, urgency, frequency, and painful urination. Based on the patient's condition, it is considered whether it is acute prostatitis, and antibiotics should be taken or intravenous fluids should be administered for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, it is recommended to eat more light foods and pay attention to reducing immunity to prevent the recurrence of prostatitis.
