What are the causes of prostatitis? As we all know, prostatitis is a very common prostate disease, which has a very high incidence rate. For healthy male friends, in order to prevent being entangled with prostatitis, it is necessary to recognize the pathogenic factors of prostatitis. So, what are the causes of prostatitis? Here are the male experts' statements about such problems. Let's have a look.
What are the causes of prostatitis? Experts said:
1. Pathogenic microorganism infection: All kinds of microorganisms, such as bacteria, protozoa, fungi and viruses, can become the source of infection causing prostatitis, among which bacteria are the most common, such as gonococcus and non-gonococcus. There are three main ways of bacterial invasion. First, hematogenous infection. Clinically, more than 90% of bacterial prostatitis is caused by microbial infection. The second is lymphatic infection. For example, urinary tract infection and inflammation of colon and rectum can infect the prostate through lymphatic channels and produce inflammation. The third is direct spread. When men urinate, the urine passes through the prostate, and the bacteria in the urine can enter the prostate directly, leading to prostate infection.
2. Prostatic hyperemia: Hyperemia caused by various reasons, especially passive hyperemia, is an important pathogenic factor of prostatitis. The onset of patients is often not caused by bacterial infection or microbial invasion, but it will form inflammatory reaction and induce prostatitis. Congestion is common in life:
3. Anxiety, depression, fear: 50% of patients with chronic non-bacterial prostatitis have symptoms of anxiety, depression, fear, pessimism and other over-tension. Prostate patients with pain and neurasthenia often exaggerate physical discomfort and pain, and their conscious symptoms are often greater than the actual condition, which is called "tension prostatitis". And psychological factors are related to age. The mental burden of young patients is significantly heavier than that of older patients, which often directly affects the effect of drug treatment.
4. Urine stimulation: in medicine, it is called chemical factor. Urine contains a variety of acid-base chemicals. When the patient's local neuroendocrine disorder causes high pressure in the posterior urethra and injury at the opening of the prostate tube, it will cause uric acid and other irritant chemicals to flow back into the prostate and induce chronic prostatitis.
5. Immune factors and allergies: Studies have shown that chronic prostatitis has a certain relationship with autoimmune factors. Some experts have found the existence of "anti prostate antibody" in some arthritis patients. Such patients often produce anti-prostate antibodies due to congenital or acquired immune deficiency, which leads to prostate tissue damage. If the patient has no evidence of bacterial, viral and mycoplasma infection after examination, the existence of immune factors can be considered.
