Patient's question:
There was a period when, during sexual activity, there was a faint red semen. The first time, I didn't pay much attention. The second time, after about a month, it happened again, still faint red. Feeling something was wrong, I went to a hospital in the nearby county for a thorough check-up. The hospital said I had prostatitis. What should I do? I spend about 4 to 5 hours every day sitting in front of the computer, and is this one of the contributing factors?Doctor's answer:
Chronic prostatitis includes two parts: chronic bacterial prostatitis and non-bacterial prostatitis. Among them, chronic bacterial prostatitis is mainly transmitted by pathogens, based on retrograde transmission, with staphylococcus being the main pathogen. It often has a history of recurrent urinary tract infections as a urological problem or persistent pathogenic bacteria in prostatic massage fluid. Non-bacterial prostatitis is caused by various complex factors and triggers, leading to inflammatory, autoimmune, and neuroendocrine-related complex pathological changes, resulting in urethral symptoms and chronic pelvic pain as the main clinical diagnostic symptoms. It is also often accompanied by psychological symptoms, with diverse manifestations.
