Patient's question:
Doctor, a few weeks ago, I experienced frequent urination and urgency, so I went to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up. The doctor reviewed the results and said that the symptoms were caused by prostatitis. However, I am very careful about hygiene, and I have a healthy diet. I don't smoke or drink beer, so how could I get this disease? I would like to consult about the causes of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The main cause of prostatitis is the transmission of pathogenic bacteria down the urethra, and inflammation of surrounding tissues or organs can also spread through infection. Unhealthy lifestyle habits such as prolonged sitting, frequent sexual activity, and a preference for spicy foods can also lead to prostatitis. Therefore, the treatment for prostatitis primarily involves the use of additional antibiotics, while also eliminating unhealthy lifestyle habits.
