What are the causes of prostatitis?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I am 36 years old this year. Yesterday, I had a thorough examination at the hospital and found that I have prostatitis. I feel that my lifestyle and sexual life have nothing wrong. How could I get prostatitis then? What are the causes of prostatitis? How should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Prostatitis is mainly caused by pathogens infecting through the urethra. Many unhealthy habits, such as frequent sexual activity, prolonged sitting, a preference for spicy and stimulating foods, and invasive procedures, can all lead to prostatitis. Therefore, when prostatitis occurs, antibiotics can be used for treatment, following the prescribed antibiotic dosage. At the same time, it is important to quit unhealthy habits, avoid prolonged sitting, and not smoke or drink beer.
