Patient's question:
Recently, I often feel uncomfortable with my body and have occasional pain in my prostate. After a thorough medical examination, I found out that I have prostatitis. I would like to consult: How does prostatitis occur?Doctor's answer:
The cause of prostatitis is the transmission of pathogenic microorganisms, mainly bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc. Bacterial infection is the most common. Unhealthy lifestyle habits, poor dietary habits, etc., leading to long-term excessive stimulation of the prostate, are important causes of prostatitis. Prolonged bicycle riding, consuming spicy foods, excessive alcohol consumption, and excessive sexual activity can also lead to urinary reflux and non-bacterial prostatitis.
