Patient's question:
Here is the English translation of the provided text:"I've been experiencing pain in my urethral opening every time I urinate these days. I don't know what to do. When I went to the hospital for a checkup, I found out that I had prostatitis, a urological condition. How could I have gotten this kind of disease?"
Doctor's answer:
Hello! The factors or causes of prostatitis include: prostatic calculi or benign prostatic hyperplasia leading to congestion of prostate tissue, causing infection; and the introduction of bacteria into the urethra during urethral dilation procedures due to improper operation, which can trigger prostatitis. Chronic excessive alcohol consumption, riding bicycles, horseback riding, and other activities can cause congestion of the prostate and are closely related to the onset of prostatitis. Some non-bacterial infections, such as mycoplasma, chlamydia, ureaplasma, and trichomoniasis, can also lead to prostatitis.
