Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing frequent urination. At first, I didn't pay much attention, but later, at my wife's suggestion, I went to the hospital for a check-up. The result was prostatitis. I'm still quite surprised—what could have caused me to develop prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: The main cause of prostatitis is primarily due to infections by various pathogenic microorganisms. Viruses, mycoplasmas, chlamydiae, bacteria, spirochetes, fungi, and trichomonads can all lead to prostatitis. The primary route of infection is through the urinary tract, where ascending urinary infections spread from the urethral prostate region back into the prostatic ducts, causing bacterial prostatitis. Additionally, frequent excessive alcohol consumption, riding bicycles, and horseback riding can all lead to prostatic congestion, which is also closely related to the onset of prostatitis.
