Chronic bacterial prostatitis starts slowly and has mild clinical symptoms. Therefore, it is necessary to recognize the diagnostic criteria for chronic bacterial prostatitis and detect and treat the disease as soon as possible. Below, we will specifically recognize the predisposing factors of chronic bacterial prostatitis.
Introduction to the etiology of chronic bacterial prostatitis
1. The main pathogenic bacteria of chronic bacterial prostatitis are Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, followed by Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus. Other streptococci, saprophytic Staphylococcus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis are considered symbiotic bacteria rather than pathogenic bacteria.
2. The main route of chronic bacterial prostatitis infection is through retrograde urinary tract infection. In addition, hematogenous infections and rectal bacteria cause prostate infection through direct diffusion or lymphatic pathways, but it is relatively rare.
3. "Lymphatic infections, caused by inflammation of adjacent organs such as rectum, colon, or lower urinary tract lesions, pass through lymphatic vessels and cause prostatitis. This type of infection is relatively rare.".
4. Patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis often have prostate stones, which may be the result of persistent bacterial presence and recurrent episodes of urinary tract infection; However, it is also believed that bacterial infection and stone formation in the prostate are caused by urine reflux; Some people have proposed that the pathogenic bacteria from bacterial prostatitis continue to enter the human bladder, leading to repeated episodes of urinary tract infection, and the three factors are mutually causal.
