Patient's question:
I was recently diagnosed with prostatitis after a thorough examination, and my family is very worried. What could be the cause of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
From a medical perspective, prostatitis refers to a prostatic disease caused by various complex reasons, primarily characterized by urinary tract symptoms and chronic pelvic pain. Prostatitis is a common condition in urology. It can be caused by infectious pathogens or non-infectious prostatitis. In most cases, it is associated with long-term urinary retention, frequent sexual activity, and sexual intercourse. Prolonged sitting can also lead to prostatitis. Diagnosis can be performed through prostate color Doppler ultrasound examination and prostatic fluid tests.
