Some people think, "I'm still very young, and prostatitis is a disease that middle-aged people get, and I'll be fine." However, the actual situation is not like this, and the age of onset of prostatitis is constantly becoming younger. Indeed, as long as it is in the sexually active period, middle-aged and young men may suffer from prostatitis. The editor will tell you about the three main causes of prostatitis:
Bacteria
Bacterial infection is the most common cause of prostatitis. The most common source of bacteria is the anus below the penis, which is a "heavily contaminated area" where various microorganisms can contaminate the skin or body hair around the anus. If you do not pay attention to personal hygiene, these pathogenic microorganisms can contaminate the penis and urethra. When the body's immune function is poor, microorganisms will drive straight into the depths of the urethra, down to the prostate, and "settle" in it. In this way, prostatitis occurs.
Long-term local chronic stasis
Chronic localized and chronic stasis of blood can also lead to prostatitis. Typically, the cause of recurrent prostate congestion is excessive sexual activity. Men between the ages of 20 and 35 have a higher frequency and frequency of sexual activity due to their strong sexual impulse. If not controlled and indulged, the prostate will repeatedly become congested. In addition, men of this age group already have a strong secretory function in the prostate, and a large amount of blood and secretions accumulate inside the gland, causing aseptic inflammation. It should be noted that if long-term abstinence occurs, prostate fluid cannot be discharged smoothly, which can also induce prostatitis.
In addition, white-collar workers who have been sitting in the office for a long time, drivers who have been driving for a long time, and sedentary people can also cause prostatitis due to blood stasis in the pelvic region. This is due to poor blood circulation, leading to the accumulation of local metabolites that cannot be smoothly discharged, resulting in what Chinese medicine calls "qi stagnation and blood stasis", and the occurrence of inflammation is inevitable. Male friends who ride bicycles for a long time should also be aware that narrow cushions, prolonged, and high intensity compression are also important reasons for blood stasis in the prostate. Therefore, it is best to take a bus if the work unit is relatively far from home.
Watch out for "accomplices" - work pressure
Work stress can also worsen and lead to prostatitis. Some male friends, especially those with successful careers, have social engagements that cannot be pushed off every day, and drinking alcohol is essential. There are also people who are very enthusiastic about fashionable lifestyles and are always "obsessed" with spicy and exciting food such as Sichuan cuisine and Hunan cuisine. However, these bad habits can cause the capillaries in the prostate to expand and congest, and the exudates between tissues and cells become more, resulting in a larger volume of the prostate gland, causing pressure on the nerve tissue that regulates local functions, thereby providing excellent conditions for the occurrence of prostatitis.
