Patient's question:
My husband was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia. He didn't pay much attention to it before, thinking it was a minor illness. But over time, it has become increasingly severe, with symptoms like frequent urination and urgency. He went to see a doctor, who prescribed him several medications. Now, he's feeling much better. However, he's still worried about whether it might come back in the future.Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are mainly the following reasons:1. Prostate stones or benign prostatic hyperplasia cause congestion in the prostate tissue, leading to infection. During urethral dilation, improper operation may allow bacteria to be pulled into the urethra, resulting in prostatitis.
2. Excessive massage of the prostate or excessive force can cause congestion and edema in the prostate.
3. Some sexually transmitted diseases are commonly caused by gonococcal urethritis. Gonococci enter the prostate through the urethra and prostatic ducts, leading to prostatitis.
4. Frequent drug use, excessive alcohol consumption, cycling, horseback riding, and other activities can cause congestion in the prostate, which is closely related to the onset of prostatitis.
5. Inflammatory lesions in nearby organs such as the rectum, colon, and lower urinary tract can spread to the prostate through lymphatic vessels, causing prostatitis.
6. Infections in other parts of the body can enter the prostate through the bloodstream, leading to prostatitis.
