Patient's question:
I recently don't know why my lower abdomen is very uncomfortable, and I also don't get morning erections anymore. What are the causes of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Etiology of Prostatitis:1. Psychological Factors:
Many male diseases are caused by patients' prolonged anxiety, depression, fear, pessimism, and excessive stress, and prostatitis is no exception. According to experts from Beijing Tongji Urology Hospital, many prostatitis patients often exaggerate their physical discomfort and pain, which is often a major reason for the progression of the condition.
2. Infection as the Culprit:
Various microorganisms, such as bacteria, protozoa, fungi, and viruses, can all serve as sources of infection leading to prostatitis. Among these, bacteria are the most common, including Neisseria gonorrhoeae and non-gonococcal urethritis.
3. Prostatic Congestion:
Prostatic congestion caused by various reasons, especially passive congestion, is a significant contributing factor to prostatitis. The onset of the disease is often not due to bacterial infection or microbial invasion but can still trigger an inflammatory response and lead to prostatitis.
4. Immune Factors as Etiological Causes:
Allergic reactions to certain viruses can also cause inflammation. Particularly for patients with weakened immune systems, higher sensitivity to viruses makes them more prone to developing prostatitis.
With the advancement of science, prostatitis is no longer an incurable disease. Therefore, if a man is diagnosed with prostatitis, it is essential to seek examination and treatment at a formal urology hospital to strengthen his "prostate."
For a long time, due to various reasons, the treatment outcomes for prostatitis have been unsatisfactory. Over-treatment can easily damage normal tissues, while insufficient intensity or duration may fail to achieve the desired effects. Experts from Beijing Tongji Hospital's Prostate Department have found through years of clinical practice that the treatment of prostatitis often hinges on minor differences—where precision is the key to the best results.
