Patient's question:
Male, 31 years old. I have always been single, and I have been dealing with physiological issues through masturbation, as I have a habit of it. A few years ago, I was diagnosed with prostatitis, weak urination, intermittent urination, incomplete emptying of the bladder, accompanied by fever, and sometimes stomach pain.Doctor's answer:
Most prostatic abscesses are caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli), while other pathogens include Pseudomonas species, Staphylococcus species, and anaerobic bacteria. The route of infection is the same as that of bacterial prostatitis. Most are complications of acute bacterial prostatitis caused by ascending urethral infection and reflux of infected urine into the prostate. Additionally, a history of urinary tract infection, stress levels, psychological factors, allergies, and sexual activity are all potential risk factors for prostatic abscess.
