Prostatitis is a frequently-occurring disease in adult men, accounting for approximately 30% of clinical patients in urology. From the perspective of symptoms, it can be divided into acute and chronic types. From the perspective of etiology, there are nonspecific and specific differences in prostatitis.
Non specific prostatitis refers to inflammation caused by common bacterial infections. Such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus faecalis, etc. The bacteria most likely to cause prostatitis are Escherichia coli, followed by Aerobacter and Proteus.
Specific prostatitis is caused by specific pathogens such as mycoplasma, chlamydia, gonococcus, and so on. This type of prostatitis is somewhat infectious. In addition, there is also aseptic prostatitis, which is caused by excessive congestion of the prostate.
In recent years, specific prostatitis has shown an upward trend. "They live somewhere in the human body, especially near the prostate. When the body's resistance is low or inflammatory lesions in other parts of the body are not effectively controlled, these bacteria will directly enter the prostate to form acute and chronic prostatitis.".
Many patients with prostatitis generally believe that prostate disease is not easy to treat, mainly because they do not know what type of inflammation is causing them. After discovering that your prostate is inflamed, you should go to a regular hospital for bacterial culture of prostate fluid, identify the cause of infection, and use targeted medication.
