Patient's question:
My boyfriend has always been in good health, but during a recent family health check-up, he was carefully diagnosed with prostatitis. I would like to consult a doctor about this. What causes prostatitis? Is it difficult to treat? Will it affect sexual life? How about if the doctor takes a look?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the clinical diagnosis of prostatitis is mainly caused by daily living habits or excessive sexual indulgence, leading to excessive congestion and edema of the prostate, or the transmission of pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, etc., resulting in acute prostatitis. However, if one catches a cold or has irregular eating habits, consuming overly stimulating foods for a long time can also trigger acute prostatitis. The treatment period for prostatitis is relatively long, so it is recommended to visit a local hospital early for diagnosis of the pathogen through prostatitis or color Doppler ultrasound of the prostate.
