Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing frequent urination and urgency when urinating, sometimes even pain during urination. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said I have type 1 prostatitis. I'd like to know what the causes of type 1 prostatitis are?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the cause of type 1 prostatitis is primarily pathogenic due to pathogenic infection. Due to the body's low resistance, highly virulent bacteria or other pathogens infect the prostate and rapidly grow and multiply, leading to the condition. This is mostly caused by hematogenous infection or retrograde urethral infection. The pathogens are mainly Escherichia coli, followed by Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus, Pseudomonas, and others. The vast majority are infections with a single pathogen.
