In modern society, men are under great pressure, and more and more people are in suboptimal health, among whom prostatitis is a hidden pain that men find difficult to talk about. Suffering from prostatitis can result in pain in the private area, so why do men get prostatitis? There are five main factors, let’s take a closer look at the specific details.
1. Irregular sexual activity
Frequent sexual activities, or frequent masturbation, can cause the prostate gland of men to become congested repeatedly, and repeated congestion of the prostate gland can trigger prostatitis. On the other hand, for individuals without sexual activity, holding back ejaculations for a long time can lead to retrograde ejaculation, which not only can induce chronic prostatitis but may also lead to hemospermia. Therefore, the proportion of men with irregular sexual activities suffering from prostatitis is significantly higher compared to others.
2. Unhealthy diet
An unhealthy diet, such as consuming spicy and stimulating foods, and alcohol consumption can lead to the dilation of the prostate blood vessels due to the irritation caused by spicy foods and alcohol, resulting in swelling and reduced resistance of the prostate gland, thus inducing prostatitis.
If individuals suffering from prostatitis do not pay attention to healthy eating habits, the disease may relapse and be difficult to cure, leading to serious consequences.
3. Poor lifestyle habits
Poor lifestyle habits include long periods of sitting, holding back urine, and staying up late, and individuals with such poor lifestyle habits are at high risk of prostatitis.
Many office workers who sit for long periods may have their genital area under continuous pressure, leading to poor local circulation of blood in the prostate gland, making it prone to prostatitis.
People who tend to hold back urine may have urine flow back into the prostate gland, and the long-term stimulation of urine, its metabolic waste, bacteria, etc., can easily lead to the development of chronic prostatitis.
Staying up late and having irregular sleep patterns can weaken the body’s immune system, making it vulnerable to bacterial and viral infections, leading to the occurrence of prostatitis.
4. Chaotic personal life
Increasingly, prostatitis patients seen in clinics are infected by pathogenic organisms such as chlamydia, mycoplasma, gonorrhea, candida albicans, trichomonas, etc. This specific prostatitis can be transmitted through sexual activity. The prostate fluid of men contains pathogenic organisms, and as it is part of the semen, after ejaculation, it can enter the female partner’s vagina, transmitting the pathogens to the female partner, causing infections in the female reproductive and urinary systems. It is easy to see cross infections between men and women, making treatment very challenging.
This type of specific prostatitis belongs to a sexually transmitted disease, and the majority of cases occur in individuals with chaotic personal lives and unstable sexual partners.
5. Predisposed personality traits
In everyday life, there are always individuals who exhibit traits of low self-esteem, non-conformity, introversion, and isolation, and these male individuals belong to the group with predisposed personality traits and are the main group prone to prostatitis. These individuals are significantly affected by psychological factors, making them susceptible to illnesses, depression, anxiety, and aggressive behaviors, placing them in the high-risk group for prostatitis.
The above-mentioned five factors are crucial factors that trigger prostatitis, and it is precisely because of these factors that the number of individuals suffering from prostatitis is increasing. The incidence of prostatitis is gradually rising, and there is a trend of group incidence. Individuals with prostatitis must take diuretic and anti-inflammatory pills early to treat it, to avoid serious consequences. Those without the disease should also pay attention to prevention, correct unhealthy lifestyle habits, and strive for a healthy body.
