Causes of chronic prostate disease

Chronic prostate disease is a common disease in our lives. It mainly occurs in adults and seriously affects their sexual life. I hope that adults can treat chronic prostate disease in time. For chronic prostate disease, if we want to prevent it, we need to know its cause, so that we can take preventive measures in our lives.

1. Pathogen infection Although routine bacterial examinations fail to isolate pathogens in patients with this type, it may still be related to certain special pathogens: such as anaerobic bacteria, L-type proteobacteria, nanobacteria, or Chlamydia trachomatis, mycoplasma, etc. Some "aseptic" prostatitis with chronic inflammation, recurrent attacks or aggravation may be related to these pathogens. Other pathogens such as parasites, fungi, viruses, trichomonas, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, etc. may also be important pathogenic factors of this type.

2. Urinary dysfunction Certain factors cause excessive contraction of the urethral sphincter, leading to bladder outlet obstruction and residual urine formation, causing urine to flow back into the prostate, which can not only bring pathogens into the prostate, but also directly stimulate the prostate, inducing aseptic "chemical prostatitis", causing abnormal urination and pelvic pain. Many patients with prostatitis have a variety of urodynamic changes, such as: decreased urine flow rate, functional urinary tract obstruction, detrusor-urethral sphincter dyssynergia, etc. These functional abnormalities may be just a clinical phenomenon, and their nature may be related to various potential pathogenic factors.

3. Psychological factors Studies have shown that more than half of patients with prostatitis who have not been cured for a long time have obvious psychological factors and personality changes. Such as anxiety, depression, hypochondria, hysteria, and even suicidal tendencies. These changes in mental and psychological factors can cause autonomic dysfunction, resulting in posterior urethral neuromuscular dysfunction, leading to pelvic pain and urination dysfunction; or cause changes in the function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis and affect sexual function, further aggravating symptoms. Eliminating mental tension can relieve or cure symptoms. However, it is not clear whether psychological changes are the direct cause or secondary manifestations.

The above is an introduction to the causes of chronic prostate disease. I hope you can prevent the causes of chronic prostate disease in your life. For this common male disease, we suggest that male friends can develop good living habits in life and pay attention to the hygiene of reproductive organs.
