Patient's question:
I have been having poor sleep recently, difficulty falling asleep, and frequent dreams. I feel exhausted and mentally drained, and I also experience frequent urination and urgency. There's a burning sensation and some pain at the urethral opening when urinating. Especially during the day, I keep thinking about needing to use the restroom. After a thorough examination at the hospital, I was diagnosed with prostatitis.Doctor's answer:
The urine contains a variety of different acidic and alkaline chemical substances. When a patient experiences local neuroendocrine dysfunction, leading to excessively high pressure in the posterior urethra and damage to the openings of the prostatic ducts, uric acid and other irritating chemical substances may reflux into the prostate, causing chronic prostatitis.2. Pathogenic microbial infection Various microorganisms, such as bacteria, protozoa, fungi, and viruses, can serve as sources of infection that lead to prostatitis. Among these, bacteria are the most common, including Neisseria gonorrhoeae and non-gonococcal urethritis pathogens. The main routes of bacterial entry include three types: hematogenous infection, lymphatic infection, and direct spread. During urination, urine passes through the prostate, allowing bacteria in the urine to directly enter the prostate.
