Chronic prostatitis can be associated with neurasthenia, exhibiting fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, etc. Chronic prostatitis can even cause allergic reactions in the body, including conjunctivitis, arthritis, and other diseases.
There are several predisposing factors for the occurrence of prostatitis
1： Prostate congestion. Congestion caused by various reasons, especially passive congestion, is an important pathogenic factor for prostatitis. The condition that causes congestion is common: abnormal sexual activity. Excessive sexual activity and forced interruptions can cause abnormal hyperemia of the prostate. However, excessive sexual abstinence can also cause passive congestion. Direct compression of the perineum. Cycling, horseback riding, prolonged sitting, and so on can lead to repeated perineal injuries and prostate congestion. An unhealthy lifestyle. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, bad habits such as excessive drinking and gluttony for greasy food can easily lead to endogenous dampness and heat, which accumulate in the reproductive organs and cause congestion and sexual excitement.
2： 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.
3： Infection by pathogenic microorganisms. Various 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 gonococcal and non gonococcal.
