Patient's question:
My urethra and perineum are very painful, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and it was diagnosed as prostatitis. How did prostatitis come about?Doctor's answer:
What are the causes of prostatitis?1. Improper sexual activity; such as excessive sexual activity, frequent intercourse, retaining semen, prolonged sexual arousal, or suddenly interrupting intercourse before reaching climax. Lower urinary tract obstruction and inflammation, benign prostatic hyperplasia, perineal and urethral injuries, etc., are also causes of prostatitis.
2. Focal infections in other parts of the body, such as tonsillitis, dental caries, skin, respiratory tract, or gastrointestinal tract infections, can transmit bacteria to the prostate through the bloodstream. This is also a significant cause of prostatitis.
