Prostatitis brings different degrees of harm and inconvenience to the normal life of many men. Therefore, we want to reduce the incidence rate of prostatitis. We should do a good job of nursing at ordinary times, develop good living habits, and try to prevent prostatitis from causing great harm to our patients. So, what is the cause of prostatitis? Below, we invite experts to introduce the etiology of prostatitis.
There are two types of prostatitis: bacterial and non bacterial. The main pathogenic bacteria of bacterial prostatitis are Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus, and Staphylococcus, often with multiple bacterial groups mixed infection. "Non bacterial prostatitis, which is named after the fact that bacteria cannot be found using ordinary culture methods, is often associated with non bacterial prostatitis.". The etiology of prostatitis is also related to irregular life, unsanitary conditions, prolonged sitting, chills, spicy diets, and excessive alcohol consumption.
Pathogen of prostatitis: microbial infection
Various microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses can become the source of infection leading to prostatitis, among which bacteria are the most common, such as gonococcal and non gonococcal bacteria. There are three main ways for bacteria to invade the etiology of prostatitis:
1. Blood line infection, clinically found, bacterial prostatitis is caused by more than 90% of microbial infections.
2. Lymphatic infections, such as urinary tract infections and inflammation of the colon and rectum, can infect the prostate through lymphatic channels, causing inflammation.
3. Direct spread is also a cause of prostatitis that cannot be ignored. When men urinate, urine passes through the prostate, and bacteria in urine can enter the prostate directly, leading to prostate infection.
Through the above explanation, we believe that we have a simple understanding of the etiology of prostatitis, and hope to be helpful for the treatment of our patients. If you have any questions about prostatitis, please consult an expert. I wish you an early recovery!
