What causes prostatitis?
Prostatitis commonly occurs in young males, with various causes, the most common being bacterial infection. If it is bacterial prostatitis caused by bacterial infection, it is often seen in patients who previously suffered from urethritis, seminal vesiculitis, etc., and did not receive timely treatment. The bacteria spread along the reproductive tract to the prostate, causing prostatitis. Additionally, patients with long-term indwelling catheters are also prone to acute prostatitis. Furthermore, prostatic needle biopsies can lead to the condition. Nonbacterial prostatitis is mostly caused by poor lifestyle habits, such as prolonged alcohol consumption, sitting for long periods, holding urine, long-term driving, long-term cycling, and staying up late, all of which can lead to nonbacterial prostatitis.
