Which factors are related to chronic prostatitis? Chronic prostatitis is a common prostate disease among male friends, and it poses significant harm to men's physical health. Common clinical manifestations include bladder irritation symptoms, such as frequent urination, a burning sensation during urination, pain that radiates to the head of the penis. In the morning, there may be sticky secretions at the urethral opening, and a feeling of difficulty in urination may also occur.
Which factors are related to chronic prostatitis? The main causes of chronic prostatitis are associated with five factors:
1. Urine stimulation: Urine contains various acidic and alkaline chemical substances. When local neuroendocrine dysfunction occurs in patients, leading to high pressure in the posterior urethra or damage to the prostate duct opening, it can cause uric acid and other stimulating chemicals to reflux into the prostate, triggering chronic prostatitis.
2. Immune factors, allergies: Studies have shown that these patients often produce anti-prostate antibodies due to congenital or acquired immune deficiencies, causing prostate tissue damage. If no evidence of bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infection is found after examination, the existence of immune factors should be considered.
3. Psychological factors: 50% of patients with chronic non-bacterial prostatitis experience excessive tension symptoms such as anxiety, depression, fear, and pessimism. Patients with prostatitis accompanied by pain and neurasthenia often exaggerate physical discomfort and pain, with self-reported symptoms being more severe than the actual condition. This condition is called "tension-type prostatitis." Psychological factors are also related to age, with younger patients experiencing a heavier mental burden compared to older patients, which often directly affects the effectiveness of drug treatment.
4. Pathogenic microbial infections: Various microorganisms such as bacteria, protozoa, fungi, and viruses can all become sources of infection for prostatitis, with bacteria being the most common, such as gonococcus and non-gonococcal bacteria.
5. Prostate congestion: Congestion caused by various reasons, especially passive congestion, is an important causative factor of prostatitis. The onset of the disease in patients is often not due to bacterial infection or microbial invasion but can lead to inflammatory reactions and induce prostatitis. For example, direct compression of the perineum can result in repeated injuries and prostate congestion in the perineal area, with prolonged bicycle riding being the most common cause. Excessive drinking and eating greasy foods, among other unhealthy habits, can easily lead to internal damp-heat, accumulating in the reproductive organs, causing congestion and sexual excitement.
Chronic prostatitis is a common disease that harms male physical health. Male friends should take timely preventive measures in daily life. If symptoms of prostate disease are detected, they should seek medical treatment at the hospital promptly.
