Bacterial prostatitis, pay attention to these

Men's so-called prostate problems not only affect their normal life and work, but more importantly, affect their sexual ability. Bacterial prostatitis is a common disease in men. Patients generally experience urinary pain, urgency, burning sensation, etc. This disease is divided into acute bacterial prostatitis and chronic bacterial prostatitis, both of which are caused by bacterial infection.

Clinical manifestations of bacterial prostatitis:

1. Acute bacterial prostatitis

The disease occurs suddenly, with chills and high fever, accompanied by frequent urination, urgency, pain and perineal pain. Dysuria or acute urinary retention occurs. Rectal examination shows that the prostate is swollen and full, with obvious tenderness, local temperature rise, and abscess formation with a fluctuating feeling. Acute pyelonephritis may occur at the same time as bloodstream infection.

2. Chronic bacterial prostatitis:

Chronic bacterial prostatitis has recurrent lower urinary tract infection symptoms, such as frequent urination, urgency, pain, burning sensation during urination, dysuria, urinary retention, and swelling and discomfort in the posterior urethra, anus and perineum. The duration is more than 3 months.

Causes of bacterial prostatitis:

1. Acute bacterial prostatitis:

The main pathogenic factor of bacterial prostatitis is Escherichia coli, followed by Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus, Pseudomonas, etc. Most of them are caused by a single pathogen. Bacteria or other pathogens infect the prostate and grow rapidly and proliferate, mostly through bloodstream infection or retrograde infection through the urethra.

2. Chronic bacterial prostatitis

The main pathogenic factor is retrograde infection of pathogens, mainly Staphylococcus, followed by Escherichia coli, Corynebacterium and Enterococcus, etc. Prostatic stones and urine reflux may be important reasons for the persistence of pathogens and recurrence of infection.

3. Factors that induce prostatitis

The main causes of prostatitis include: smoking, drinking, spicy food addiction, inappropriate sexual activities, long-term congestion of the prostate caused by sitting for a long time and long-term chronic compression of the pelvic floor muscles, cold, fatigue, etc., which lead to decreased body resistance or special physical constitution.
