What are the causes of chronic prostatitis? "Constantly is a question that men want to know, so it is necessary to investigate the causes of chronic prostatitis.".
The pathogenic factors of chronic prostatitis include the following
Pathogenic microbial infection: Various microorganisms such as bacteria, protozoa, fungi, viruses, etc. can become the source of infection causing prostatitis, among which bacteria are the most common, such as gonococcal, non gonococcal, etc. There are three main ways of bacterial invasion. One is hematogenous infection. Clinically, more than 90% of bacterial prostatitis is caused by microbial infections. The second is lymphatic infection, such as urinary tract infection and inflammation of the colon and rectum, which can infect the prostate through lymphatic channels and produce inflammation. The third is direct spread. When men urinate, their urine passes through the prostate, and the bacteria in their urine can enter the prostate directly, leading to prostate infection.
Urine irritation: Urine contains a variety of acidic and alkaline chemicals. When patients have local neuroendocrine disorders that cause excessive pressure in the posterior urethra and damage to the opening of the prostate tube, stimulating chemicals such as uric acid can flow back into the prostate, causing chronic prostatitis.
Prostate congestion: Congestion caused by various causes, especially passive congestion, is an important pathogenic factor for prostatitis. The onset of disease in patients is often not caused by bacterial infection or microbial invasion, but it can form inflammatory reactions and induce prostatitis. Direct compression of the perineum can lead to repeated perineal injury and prostate congestion, especially when riding a bicycle for a long time. Poor living habits such as excessive drinking and gluttony for greasy food can easily lead to endogenous dampness and heat, which accumulate in the reproductive organs, causing them to congest and cause sexual excitement. External stimuli caused by medical practices such as inappropriate prostate massage, such as excessive or frequent manipulation, can cause prostate congestion. A cold can cause sympathetic nerve excitation in the human body, leading to increased internal pressure in the urethra, contraction of the prostate tube, and obstruction of prostate fluid excretion, resulting in congestive congestion.
Immune factors, allergies: Studies have shown that chronic prostatitis has a certain relationship with autoimmune factors. Some experts have found the presence of "anti prostate antibodies" in some patients with arthritis. This type of patient often produces anti prostate antibodies due to congenital or acquired immunodeficiency, leading to prostate tissue damage. If the patient has no evidence of bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infection after examination, the presence of immune factors may be considered. Clinically, allergic reactions to certain viruses can also lead to inflammation. In particular, some patients with low body resistance have a high sensitivity to the virus and are prone to induce chronic prostatitis.
Mental factors: 50% of patients with chronic non bacterial prostatitis have symptoms of excessive stress such as anxiety, depression, fear, and pessimism. "Prostate patients with pain and neurasthenia often exaggerate physical discomfort and pain, and their conscious symptoms often outweigh their actual condition. This condition is known as" tension type prostatitis. "". Psychological factors are related to age, and the mental burden of young patients is significantly heavier than that of older patients, which often directly affects the effectiveness of drug treatment.
