Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know what's going on, I've been feeling very uncomfortable downstairs, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. Which people are most prone to getting prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Various causes of congestion, especially passive congestion, are important pathogenic factors for prostatitis. The onset of the disease is often not caused by bacterial infection or microbial invasion, but it can lead to an inflammatory response and trigger prostatitis. Congestion-related scenarios are common in daily life:● Abnormal sexual activity. Frequent sexual intercourse, forced interruption of sexual activity, etc., can cause abnormal congestion of the prostate.
● Direct pressure on the perineum. Activities such as cycling, horseback riding, and prolonged sitting can lead to repeated injury to the perineum and congestion of the prostate, with prolonged cycling being particularly common.
● Unhealthy lifestyle. Traditional Chinese medicine theory suggests that excessive alcohol consumption, indulgence in greasy foods, and other poor habits can easily lead to internal damp-heat, which accumulates in the reproductive organs, causing congestion and sexual arousal.
● Excessive massage. External stimuli caused by improper medical practices, such as overly forceful or frequent prostate massage, can also lead to congestion of the prostate.
● Cold or exposure to cold. Colds or exposure to cold can stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, increasing urethral pressure and contracting prostatic ducts, thereby obstructing the excretion of prostatic fluid and causing congestive congestion.
Countermeasures: Chronic prostatitis patients should consult a doctor to adopt corresponding treatment measures based on different triggering factors. For prostatitis primarily caused by congestion-related factors, it is necessary to eliminate various causes of passive congestion, maintain moderate sexual frequency, avoid prolonged cycling, and use traditional Chinese medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.
