Patient's question:
I felt particularly unwell recently, so I went to a hospital near my home for a check-up. They said it was prostatitis, and I took a week's worth of medication. I felt better, but now I'm feeling uncomfortable again. I don't have any energy for anything, and I'm feeling particularly annoyed inside. What are the symptoms of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The main factor in the onset of prostatitis is due to pathogenic infection. Pathogens enter the prostate mainly through three routes: the second is retrograde urethral transmission, such as unprotected sex, frequent sexual activity, and factors like excessive foreskin in patients, leading to bacterial colonization in the urethra. The third is hematogenous transmission, where pathogenic bacteria enter the prostate along with the bloodstream, with the exception of lymphatic transmission. Prostatitis can lead to a series of diseases, including premature ejaculation and sexual dysfunction.
