Preventing prostatitis in life is something many friends want to do, especially some middle-aged male friends. Prostatitis is now one of the common diseases in our male population, and many people do not understand the etiology of the prostate. What are the causes of prostatitis? Let's take a look at the introduction below.
1. Pathogenic microbial infection. Various microorganisms can become the source of infection causing prostatitis, such as viruses, fungi, protozoa, and bacteria, among which bacteria are the most common source of infection, such as gonococci.
2. Passive congestion of the prostate, caused by various causes, is the main factor in the onset of prostatitis. The causes of hyperemia include: forced termination of sexual life; Compression of the perineum, such as riding a bicycle, sitting for a long time, or riding a horse, can cause repeated perineal injury and prostate congestion; Some unhealthy lifestyles can induce the occurrence of prostatitis, such as excessive drinking, eating spicy food, stimulating food, and overwork.
3. Some adverse psychological factors, such as fear, depression, and anxiety, have been found in clinical studies. According to clinical research, 50% of patients with chronic non bacterial prostatitis have adverse psychological conditions such as anxiety, depression, fear of the disease, and pessimism about treatment. "Patients with prostate often exaggerate physical pain, and this negative psychology can affect the effectiveness of medication.".
If you have symptoms of prostatitis, you should first avoid alcohol. Alcohol is a dry, bitter, warm, and hot product that causes local vasodilation and vascular congestion. Drinking alcohol can cause inflammation to spread. The second is to quit smoking. Toxic substances such as nicotine, tar, nicotine, and nitrosamines in cigarettes can interfere with the neural function that governs blood vessels, affect the blood circulation of the prostate, and cause prostate congestion. Its toxic substances can also directly poison prostate tissue.
