Patient's question:
The results of the urethral swab test show Gram-negative bacteria and mold spores. Ultrasound reveals an enlarged prostate with uneven echoes. How to prevent prostate disease?Doctor's answer:
Regarding the causes of prostatitis, the medical community generally believes that the second is retrograde urethral transmission, such as bacterial adaptation in the urethra due to poor hygiene during sexual activity between couples. The third is hematogenous transmission, where pathogenic bacteria enter the prostate through the bloodstream. The only other transmission route is lymphatic transmission. The main factors affecting prostate health in daily life include: drug abuse, heavy smoking, and consuming spicy foods; frequent physical guilt and excessive sexual activity. Therefore, maintaining a healthy mindset is also one of the prerequisite conditions to ensure the prostate remains "unscathed."
