1. Immune factors and allergies of the inducing factors of chronic prostatitis
Studies have shown that chronic prostatitis has a certain relationship with autoimmune factors. Some experts have found the existence of "anti prostate antibody" in some arthritis patients. Such patients often produce anti-prostate antibodies due to congenital or acquired immune deficiency, which leads to prostate tissue damage. If the patient has no evidence of bacterial, viral and mycoplasma infection after examination, the existence of immune factors can be considered. Clinically, allergic reactions to certain viruses can also lead to inflammation. In particular, some patients with low body resistance have high sensitivity to the virus and are prone to induce chronic prostatitis.
2. Pathogenic microorganism infection
Various microorganisms, such as bacteria, protozoa, fungi, viruses, etc., can become the source of infection causing prostatitis, among which bacteria are the most common. The causative factors of chronic prostatitis, such as gonococcus, non-gonococcus, etc. There are three main ways of bacterial invasion. First, hematogenous infection. Clinically, more than 90% of bacterial prostatitis is caused by microbial infection. The second is lymphatic infection. For example, urinary tract infection and inflammation of colon and rectum can infect the prostate through lymphatic channels and produce inflammation. The third is direct spread. When men urinate, the urine passes through the prostate, and the bacteria in the urine can enter the prostate directly, leading to prostate infection.
3. Urine irritation
Urine contains a variety of acid-base chemicals. When the patient's local neuroendocrine disorders, the predisposing factor of chronic prostatitis is that the pressure of the posterior urethra is too high, and the opening of the prostate tube is damaged, it will cause uric acid and other irritant chemicals to flow back into the prostate, causing chronic prostatitis.
4. Mental factor
50% of patients with chronic non-bacterial prostatitis have symptoms of excessive stress such as anxiety, depression, fear, pessimism. Prostate patients with pain and neurasthenia often exaggerate physical discomfort and pain, and their conscious symptoms are often greater than the actual condition, which is called "tension prostatitis". And psychological factors are related to age. The mental burden of young patients is significantly heavier than that of older patients, which often directly affects the effect of drug treatment. This is one of the inducing factors of chronic prostatitis.
5. Prostatic hyperemia
Congestion caused by various reasons, especially passive congestion, is an important inducing factor of chronic prostatitis. The onset of patients is often not caused by bacterial infection or microbial invasion, but it will form inflammatory reaction and induce prostatitis. Inducing factors of chronic prostatitis, such as direct compression of the perineum, can lead to repeated perineal injury and prostate congestion, especially long cycling is the most common. Bad living habits such as excessive drinking and gluttony of greasy food are easy to lead to endogenous dampness and heat, which accumulate in the reproductive organs and make them congest and cause sexual excitement.
