Patient's question:
Previously, I had prostatitis, but it was treated and cured, so I no longer have prostatitis. Why does it hurt when I sit for a long time, or after eating spicy food?Doctor's answer:
In such cases, it is important to be aware of the possibility of recurrent prostatitis. Excessive spicy and stimulating diet is also an inducing factor. The main causes of prostatitis are the direct spread of urinary tract infections, hematogenous dissemination of infections from other parts of the body, and prostatic calculi. Additionally, various factors that cause prostatic congestion, such as excessive alcohol consumption, sexual stimulation, prolonged sitting, tight clothing, long-term, and perineal trauma, are also inducing factors for prostatitis.
