What are the causes of prostatitis?

Patient's question:

My husband has had prostatitis for 3 years. Now he feels very difficult to urinate, with a long waiting time before urination. When someone is present, he cannot urinate at all, and it is accompanied by the phenomenon of white droplets in the urine. The detailed examination results confirm prostatitis.

Doctor's answer:

Prostatitis is relatively detailed in clinical diagnosis, including acute and chronic prostatitis. Chronic prostatitis is further divided into chronic bacterial prostatitis and chronic non-bacterial prostatitis, as well as conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatic cysts, and prostatodynia. The prostate is a special organ with a hard lipid capsule outside, which acts as a drug barrier, making it difficult for medications to penetrate to the affected area of the prostate. Due to different etiologies, chronic prostatitis exhibits various symptoms, representing a complex group of syndromes.
