Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing frequent urination and urgency, with a red, fiery sensation in the urethra, like being pricked. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it's prostatitis. What are the main factors that cause it?Doctor's answer:
Etiology of Prostatitis 1. Prostatic Congestion Prostatitis is caused by various abnormal antecedents leading to abnormal congestion, with weak congestion being the primary factor of blood failure. Non-infectious, non-microbiological prolonged congestion can induce non-specific inflammatory responses. Other forms of congestion are commonly associated with the following scenarios: ① Weak Sexual Activity Weak sexual activity, forced intercourse, or excessive sexual activity can all lead to weak congestion of the prostate. However, excessive sexual activity may also result in prolonged self-congestion, leading to weak congestion. ② Direct Strain Activities such as cycling, horseback riding, or prolonged sitting can cause congestion of the prostate, with cycling being particularly notable. ③ Alcohol Consumption Alcohol can cause congestion of the reproductive organs and lead to sexual congestion.
