Factors causing prostatitis include:
1. Infection
(1) Bacteria: The pathogenic bacteria in bacterial prostatitis are similar to those in urogenital tract infection. The common pathogenic bacteria are Escherichia coli (Escherichia coli), and a few are Proteus, Klebsiella, Enterococcus, etc.; The chance of infection by gram-positive bacteria is rare. Absolute anaerobes rarely cause prostate infection. The role of gram-positive bacteria in etiology is still controversial. Most researchers agree that enterococci cause chronic prostatitis. However, many scholars are still skeptical of the pathogenic effects of other gram-positive bacteria, such as staphylococcus, streptococcus, leptococcus and diphtheria-like bacteria. Recently, some researchers believe that gram-positive bacteria rarely cause obvious prostatitis except enterococcus. In China, Staphylococcus aureus is still a common bacteria in prostate fluid culture of patients. Whether the bacterial species are different from foreign countries is due to urethral bacterial contamination, which needs further clarification. Most prostate infections are caused by single bacteria, but by two or more bacteria.
2. Chemical factors
Etiology and pathogen of nonbacterial prostatitis and sexual prostatitis. The pathogenic bacteria may be uncertain pathogenic microorganisms. In recent years, clinical studies have found that chlamydia and mycoplasma may be the main pathogens of chronic prostatitis. Or it is a non-communicable disease. Some people speculate that urine flowing back into the prostate may cause chemical prostatitis.
3. Immune system factors
The immunologic study of prostatitis can be traced back to the initial study of immunoglobulin in prostate fluid. It was found that the antibody was encapsulated by bacteria and the existence of anti-prostate antibody. The animal model successfully simulating prostatitis recently is a process of autoimmune reaction. It is encouraging that bacterial products provide the initial antigen stimulation in the pathogenesis of prostatitis, leading to the subsequent immune reaction process.
4. Other factors
Past studies have found that sex hormone nutrition, past urinary system infection history, stress, mental factors, allergies and sexual life are all potential factors leading to prostatitis. Among the studies on the following relevant factors, there are many studies in Europe and the United States, and there is no systematic study.
(1) Age: Many studies have found that young men have a higher incidence rate of prostatitis than older men. Recently, some people found that prostatitis can be seen in teenagers before the age of 20. However, some studies have found that there are more elderly patients than young patients, which may be due to the fact that the elderly suffer from prostate hypertrophy and the similarity of the two symptoms.
