Prostatitis is a very common male disease that can be divided into many different types, including chronic bacterial prostatitis. No matter how many types it can be divided into, there may be different reasons for each classification. How is chronic bacterial prostatitis infected?
1. When upper respiratory tract infection occurs, or bacteria such as oral gingivitis and pharyngeal tonsillitis multiply and enter the bloodstream, leading to the formation of bacteremia, which flows with the blood to the prostate and causes inflammation. "If the number of bacteria is small, the toxicity is low, and the patient still has the ability to resist disease, the clinical symptoms are often not obvious. However, patients often lack awareness of this, mistaking it for a cold, and delaying treatment or mistreatment, ultimately transforming into a process of chronic prostatitis.". Although this route of blood transmission occurs less frequently, it does exist.
2. Upper urinary tract infections, such as pyelonephritis and cystitis, spread directly to the glands through the bloodstream or urinary tract, causing inflammation.
3. Inflammation of the lower urinary tract, such as inflammation of the posterior urethra and bladder neck, can directly invade the glands, or because contaminated urine sometimes flows back into the prostate tubules that communicate with the posterior urethra due to factors such as suffocation, causing another important pathway for gland infection.
4. Anatomically, the rectal wall of proctitis is almost adjacent to the prostate, so chronic rectal inflammation can easily spread directly or spread to the prostate through the lymphatic channels.
5. "Seminal vesiculitis and epididymitis, these organs that are adjacent to the prostate through the reproductive tract, often coexist and interact with chronic prostatitis.".
6. "Urinary tract injury combined with infection, urine extravasation, perineal inflammation, excessive use of liquid medicine, and persistent hyperemia of the prostate are highly susceptible to infection of the prostate.".
7. Prostate hyperplasia and prostate cancer can sometimes be associated with infection.
8. A small number of patients with acute prostatitis become chronic prostatitis due to severe lesions or incomplete treatment.
