Patient's question:
I am a driver. Recently, I have been experiencing discomfort during urination, with symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, and dysuria. Sometimes my urine also contains blood, and I often feel a sense of heaviness in my lower abdomen. When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, the doctor said I had prostatitis. I felt very confused—how could I get this disease?Doctor's answer:
The causes of prostatitis include: prostatic stones or benign prostatic hyperplasia causing congestion in the prostate, leading to infection; and the improper operation during urethral dilation, which allows bacteria to be pulled into the urethra, resulting in prostatitis. Regular drug abuse, excessive alcohol consumption, cycling, horseback riding, and other activities can cause congestion in the prostate, which is closely related to the onset of prostatitis. Some non-bacterial infections, such as mycoplasma, chlamydia, ureaplasma, and trichomonas, can also lead to prostatitis. In addition to timely treatment for prostatitis, patients should maintain a positive attitude to face the disease. Only in this way can patients receive timely and appropriate treatment. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care, primarily focusing on light foods and avoiding irritating and cold foods, believing that this will surely drive away prostatitis.
