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 top 10 causes of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
1. Due to the complex symptoms of prostatitis, many patients are unable to identify it themselves, leading to delays in seeking treatment during the optimal period.2. Prostatic calculi or benign prostatic hyperplasia cause congestion in the prostate tissue, leading to infection. Improperly performed urethral dilation procedures may introduce pathogens into the urethra, triggering prostatitis.
3. Excessive massage of the prostate or excessive force can cause congestion and edema in the prostate.
4. Some sexually transmitted diseases, such as gonococcal urethritis, are common. The gonococcus enters the prostate through the urethra and prostatic ducts, inducing prostatitis.
5. Frequent excessive alcohol consumption, riding bicycles, or horseback riding can all cause prostate congestion, which is closely related to the onset of prostatitis.
6. Ignoring cold exposure can stimulate the sympathetic nervous system of the prostate, increasing urethral pressure and obstructing excretion, leading to congestion and edema.
7. Inflammatory lesions in nearby organs such as the rectum, colon, and lower urinary tract can cause prostatitis through lymphatic pathways.
8. Infections in other parts of the body can enter the prostate via the bloodstream, triggering prostatitis.
9. Non-bacterial infections such as mycoplasma, chlamydia, ureaplasma, and trichomoniasis can also cause prostatitis.
10. Holding urine is a common contributing factor to many diseases, including prostatitis. Once the bladder is full, the urge to urinate should be immediately addressed. Holding urine allows urine to reflux into the prostate. If urine flows backward into the prostate, crystalline substances (such as salts) in the urine may deposit on the prostate tissue, along with amyloid bodies, epithelial cells, uric acid, cholesterol, and citrate, forming calculi and thus triggering prostatitis.
