Chronic prostatitis is generally divided into two types, namely bacterial and non bacterial. Chronic bacterial prostatitis is a chronic infectious inflammation of the prostate caused by various pathogenic bacteria, while chronic non bacterial prostatitis is usually unable to find bacteria using ordinary culture methods, hence its name.
Causes of chronic non bacterial prostatitis:
"Irregular sexual life, premature onset without ejaculation, interruption and prolonged cycling, and prolonged sitting and working can lead to pelvic and prostate congestion.".
Excessive alcohol consumption and spicy food can often exacerbate the symptoms of prostatitis.
In elderly men, difficulty in urinating due to prostate hyperplasia can also be caused by increased pressure in the urethra and retrograde flow of urine into the prostate.
Other pathogenic microorganisms include chlamydia trachomatis, mycoplasma, fungi, trichomonas, etc.
Symptoms of chronic non bacterial prostatitis:
Pain: Concealed pain, cramping, or discomfort in the perineum and lower abdomen. Sometimes there is a feeling of soreness in the lumbosacral region, suprapubic region, bilateral inguinal region, and even both lower limbs. Pain can persist and can occur intermittently, often manifested as not being felt or feeling lighter during the day at work, and feeling more pronounced during leisure or before bedtime.
Mental symptoms: Occasionally, dizziness, dizziness, fatigue, insomnia, tiredness, depression, etc. occur.
Urinary changes: mainly include frequent urination, urgency, pain in urination, and discomfort or burning sensation in the urethra during urination. Sometimes, white secretion may flow from the urethral orifice, commonly known as "dripping white".
Prostate tenderness: When performing a digital examination of the anus, the tenderness of the prostate can be felt.
Decreased sexual function: There are erectile dysfunction, early Xie, Yi sperm, or She sperm pain.
