Patient's question:
I don't know how it happened, but I ended up with prostatitis. The doctor said it wasn't serious and told me to take some anti-inflammatory medication, but I forgot to ask which kind. The anti-inflammatory medication I have are all for different types of pathogenic bacteria. Could you please tell me what causes prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis often occurs concurrently with seminal vesiculitis, usually caused by retrograde infection. The causative pathogens are primarily Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus hemolyticus, and Escherichia coli. For your health, it is recommended to visit the hospital promptly for relevant tests to identify the underlying cause of this condition, followed by timely targeted treatment measures. Additionally, if left untreated for a long time, it may lead to severe consequences such as infertility. Therefore, early examination and treatment are key.
