What causes prostatitis?

Prostatitis is mainly caused by excessive sexual intercourse and masturbation in men. Pressure on the genitals and alcoholism can also cause prostatitis. Therefore, for patients with prostatitis, we should pay attention to the protection of the prostate and eat more kidney-tonifying foods. Now let us understand the causes of prostatitis.

1. Prostate congestion: Congestion caused by various reasons, especially passive congestion, is an important pathogenic factor of prostatitis.

(1) Abnormal sexual life: excessive sexual activity and forced interruption of sexual intercourse.

(2) Pressure on the perineum: riding a bicycle, riding a horse, or sitting for long periods of time.

(3) Unhealthy lifestyle: excessive drinking and excessive consumption of greasy food.

(4) Excessive massage

(5) Colds and chills

2. Urine irritation: Urine contains a variety of acidic and alkaline chemicals. When local neuroendocrine disorders cause excessive urethral pressure and damage to the opening of the prostate duct, uric acid and other irritating chemicals will reflux into the prostate and induce prostatitis.

3. Infection by pathogenic microorganisms: Various microorganisms such as bacteria, protozoa, viruses, etc. can become sources of infection that cause prostatitis, among which bacteria are the most common, such as gonococci and non-gonococci.

4. Immune factors and allergies: Studies have shown that prostatitis is related to autoimmune factors. Congenital or acquired immune deficiencies produce anti-prostate antibodies, which lead to prostate tissue damage.
