Why are men prone to chronic prostatitis? Prostatitis is a relatively high incidence disease in andrology, which often manifests as frequent urination, urgency, difficulty urinating, and sexual dysfunction. There are many reasons for chronic prostatitis in daily life, such as prostate congestion, pathogenic microbial infection, urine stimulation, immune factors, and so on. Experts say that early understanding of the causes of chronic prostatitis and active prevention can effectively reduce the prevalence of the disease. The following is an introduction to the relevant content.
The reasons why men are prone to chronic prostatitis are as follows:
1. Hyperemia of the prostate
Congestion caused by various reasons, especially passive congestion, is an important pathogenic factor for prostatitis. The onset of disease in patients is often not caused by bacterial infection or microbial invasion, but it can form inflammatory reactions and induce prostatitis.
2. Pathogenic microorganism infection
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. There are three main ways of bacterial invasion. One is hematogenous infection. Clinically, more than 90% of bacterial prostatitis is caused by microbial infections. The second is lymphatic infection, such as urinary tract infection and inflammation of the colon and rectum, which can infect the prostate through lymphatic channels and produce inflammation. The third is direct spread. When men urinate, their urine passes through the prostate, and the bacteria in their urine can enter the prostate directly, leading to prostate infection.
3. Urine irritation
In medicine, urine stimulation is referred to as a chemical factor. According to reports, 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.
4. Immune factors, allergies
Studies have shown that chronic prostatitis has a certain relationship with autoimmune factors. Some experts have found the presence of "anti prostate antibodies" in some patients with arthritis. This type of patient often produces anti prostate antibodies due to congenital or acquired immunodeficiency, leading to prostate tissue damage. If the patient has no evidence of bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infection after examination, the presence of immune factors may be considered. Clinically, allergic reactions to certain viruses can also lead to inflammation. In particular, some patients with low body resistance have a high sensitivity to the virus and are prone to induce chronic prostatitis.
5. Anxiety, depression, fear
Experts have found that 50% of patients with chronic non bacterial prostatitis have symptoms of excessive stress such as anxiety, depression, fear, and pessimism. "Prostate patients with pain and neurasthenia often exaggerate physical discomfort and pain, and their conscious symptoms often outweigh their actual condition. This condition is known as" tension type prostatitis. "". Psychological factors are related to age, and the mental burden of young patients is significantly heavier than that of older patients, which often directly affects the effectiveness of drug treatment.
