Many people know about prostatitis, but they do not know about non bacterial prostatitis. Non bacterial prostatitis is one of the diseases of prostatitis, and its harm cannot be underestimated. I hope that male friends have a common sense understanding of it. Only by having an understanding of non bacterial prostatitis can we better prevent, detect, and treat it, so as not to worsen the condition and add trouble to ourselves.
Non bacterial prostatitis is the most common type of prostatitis syndrome. There are abnormal numbers of inflammatory cells in the prostate secretion of non bacterial prostatitis, but bacterial culture or other methods cannot detect pathogenic bacteria. There have been attempts by experts to confirm that some unusual pathogens (such as obligate anaerobes, mycoplasma, chlamydia, or other protozoa, viruses, etc.) are the cause of non bacterial prostatitis, but they have not been successful. There is also a lot of speculation in the medical community that mycoplasma is associated with non bacterial prostatitis, but there is insufficient evidence that bacteriological and serological tests have shown that there is no significant causal relationship between them.
What are the main clinical symptoms of non bacterial prostatitis?
1、 Urinary tract symptoms: They are the most common clinical manifestations, including urinary tract irritation symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain in urination. Sometimes they also manifest as excessive nocturnal urination and a feeling of incomplete urination after urination;

3、 Systemic symptoms: symptoms of neurosis such as fatigue, loss of appetite, dreaminess, and insomnia;
What are the hazards of prolonged non bacterial prostatitis?
1. Patients with non bacterial prostatitis may experience pain in the perineum, testicles, and penis, as well as symptoms such as urgency and pain in defecation, and whiteness of the urethra during defecation, which has a serious impact on men's lives and work.
2. Causing infertility: Mycoplasma and chlamydia are important infectious factors that cause non bacterial prostatitis, and these two pathogens can interfere with sperm movement, increase sperm deformity rates, destroy spermatogenic cells, and ultimately cause infertility.
3. Serious psychological burden: Due to unclear pathogenic bacteria, the treatment of non bacterial prostatitis is relatively complex, and the course of disease is long, which can cause serious psychological burden for men and cause them to have a grumpy temper.
4. Triggering sexual dysfunction: Severe psychological burden can lead to men losing interest in sexual life, or even generating boredom about sexual life. Over time, it can lead to sexual dysfunction in patients, such as decreased libido, impotence, premature ejaculation, and ejaculation pain.
