Patient's question:
I recently don't know what's going on, my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. What are the causes of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
What are the causes of prostatitis?1. Excessive alcohol consumption. Moderate alcohol consumption can promote blood circulation, but excessive drinking can cause blood circulation to speed up, leading to prostatic congestion.
2. Prolonged sitting puts pressure on the prostate. For example, office workers, bicycle riders, and horse racing athletes who sit for long periods can cause pressure on the prostate, leading to congestion. These factors are closely related to the development of prostatitis.
3. Bacterial infection causes prostatitis. Conditions such as prostatic calculi or urinary retention that prevent the bladder from emptying properly can lead to prolonged urine accumulation in the bladder, allowing bacteria to thrive and causing prostatitis. Additionally, chlamydia, mycoplasma, and trichomoniasis can also cause prostatitis.
4. Inappropriate treatment. If prostatic diseases are treated improperly, it can lead to the development of prostatitis. For example, during massage therapy, improper technique or excessive force, as well as overly frequent massages, can cause prostatic congestion.
5. Prolonged urine retention. Urinary retention is one of the common causes of prostatic diseases. When the bladder is full, there should be a strong urge to urinate. Retaining urine can cause backflow into the prostate, and the crystalline substances in the urine can deposit in the prostate tissue over time, eventually forming calculi and triggering the onset of prostatitis.
