With the growth of age, chronic prostatitis will appear in many middle-aged and elderly men. This disease has a great impact on the health of male friends. How much do you know about the causes of prostatitis? Here we introduce the knowledge of causing prostatitis.
What is the cause of prostatitis?
1. Pathogenic microorganism infection
Bacteria, protozoa, fungi, viruses and other microorganisms have become the source of prostatitis infection, among which bacteria are the most common, such as gonococcus, non-gonococcus, etc. There are three main ways of bacterial invasion. First, hematogenous infection. Clinically, more than 90% of bacterial prostatitis is caused by microbial infection.
2. Urinary irritation
Urine stimulation is called chemical element in medicine. According to Dr. Wang, urine contains a variety of acid-base chemicals. Some patients have neuroendocrine disorders, high urethral pressure, and when the prostate tube teeth are damaged, uric acid and other irritant chemicals flow back into the prostate, causing chronic prostatitis.
3. Prostatic hyperemia
Congestion caused by various reasons, especially passive congestion, is an important pathogenic factor of prostatitis. The onset of patients is often not bacterial infection and microbial invasion, but causes inflammatory reaction and prostatitis. Congestion is common in life.
4. Anxiety, depression, fear
Experts found that 50% of chronic non-bacterial prostatitis patients have anxiety, depression, fear, pessimism and other diseases of excessive panic. Prostate patients with pain and neurasthenia often exaggerate physical discomfort and pain. There are more blind diseases than practical diseases. This condition is called panic prostatitis.
If prostatitis is not treated in time, what harm will it do?
1. Prostatic hyperplasia can lead to kidney damage. In severe cases, renal function damage will lead to uremia, which will endanger life at this time;
2. Urinary retention and incontinence cause infection. Patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia often have different degrees of urinary retention. Excess residual urine can make the bladder lose its contractility and lead to reinfection of the prostate. This is a vicious circle. Once bacteria reproduce, it will cause infection that is difficult to control;
3. Due to the problem of prostate fluid, the survival rate of sperm is not high, resulting in the reduction of sperm number and long-term infertility;
