Article 19: Causes of Prostatic Hypercongestion and Routes of Infection for Prostatitis

What factors can cause excessive congestion of the prostate?

Male patients with chronic prostatitis, when examining their prostatic fluid, sometimes have...

Prostatic fluid contains a large number of bacteria or granulocytes, while bacteria are not found in the prostatic fluid of some patients.

And the presence of granulocytes-why is that? It turns out that chronic prostatitis can be divided into two main categories: one...

It's called bacterial prostatitis, and it mostly results from an infection focus in a certain part of the body or from a cluster of lesions on the external genitalia.

One type is caused by bacteria that invade the prostate gland when the body's resistance is low. The other type is non-bacterial.

Sexual prostatitis, also known as prostatic fluid leakage, is often associated with frequent and repeated congestion of the prostate. Because of the previous...

Repeated congestion of the prostate tissue can cause dilation of the prostate acini and edema of the interstitial tissues. Over time...

Over time, the glandular structure of the prostate gland is damaged, resulting in pathological changes associated with chronic inflammation. So, what...?

What factors can cause excessive congestion of the prostate in middle-aged men?

(1) Improper sexual practices: Some married men are accustomed to regular sexual activity, and if the woman...

If a man is unable to have sexual intercourse due to illness or pregnancy, but his libido is very high, frequent sexual urges may occur.

Some men, fearing pregnancy, frequently interrupt intercourse abruptly just before ejaculation. Other men...

The child developed a bad habit of masturbation or excessive sexual desire, frequent sexual intercourse, and frequent indulgence in pornography, such as...

Such situations can all cause repeated excessive congestion of the prostate.

(2) Irritating foods: Drinking alcohol, especially alcoholism, or frequently eating spicy, hot, sour, or pungent foods.

Cold, spicy foods can easily induce congestion in all sexual organs, including the prostate.

(3) Exposure to cold and dampness: Cold and dampness are adverse stimuli for the prostate. Whenever exposed to cold and dampness, the prostate will be inflamed.

When exposed to cold or dampness, the prostate gland becomes sensitive, causing contraction of the prostate gland and dilation of the glandular ducts, resulting in...

Diffuse congestion occurs.

How is prostatitis contracted?

Prostatitis is classified into bacterial and non-bacterial prostatitis. Bacterial prostatitis is caused by bacterial infection.

The methods may include the following:

(1) Retrograde urethral infection: caused by bacteria ascending from the urethral opening.

(2) Direct spread: For example, infectious lesions in the pelvic cavity can directly spread to the prostate and cause infection.

(3) Lymphatic infection: Bacteria can invade through the lymphatic system surrounding the internal iliac artery.

(4) Hematogenous infection: Bacteria invade the prostate through the bloodstream, such as skin infections and tonsillitis.

Inflammation, etc. Drinking alcohol, overwork, exposure to cold, excessive sexual activity, and perineal manipulation can all induce prostatitis.

Nonbacterial prostatitis can be caused by the following factors:

(1) Improper sexual activity: such as excessive or frequent masturbation.

(2) Local irritation: such as long-distance cycling, sitting for a long time, etc., can cause pelvic congestion.

(3) Irritating foods, such as excessive consumption of spicy and sour foods and alcohol.

(4) Caused by factors such as local exposure to cold in the prostate.

In addition, there are some specific bacterial infections known as specific prostatitis, such as gonorrhea and tuberculosis.

Bacteria, syphilis, trichomonas, etc. Mycoplasma and chlamydia can also cause prostatitis.

What are the causes of acute and chronic prostatitis?

Acute prostatitis is caused by hematogenous infection or direct spread, where the prostate is infected by pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria.

When a foreign object invades, it rapidly causes congestion, edema, and exudation, forming an abscess, or even a relatively large localized abscess. If

If left untreated, it may develop into chronic prostatitis.

Chronic prostatitis is a common disease among middle-aged men, and its causes are roughly as follows:

(1) Abnormal sexual activity: such as excessive sexual activity, forced interruption of intercourse, or excessive masturbation.

Various factors, such as these, can cause abnormal congestion of the prostate. However, excessive abstinence from sexual activity can also lead to prolonged self-congestion.

Excitement can cause passive congestion.

(2) Direct pressure on the perineum: activities such as riding a bicycle, horseback riding, or sitting for a long time can cause congestion of the prostate.

(3) Excessive drinking: causes congestion of the reproductive organs and sexual arousal.

(4) Excessive massage: Excessive pressure or frequency during prostate massage can cause the prostate to become congested.

Blood, this is iatrogenic congestion.

(5) Catching a cold: The prostate gland has abundant α-adrenergic receptors. After catching a cold, the α-adrenergic receptors...

Adrenergic receptors can trigger sympathetic nerve activity, leading to increased urethral pressure, hindering excretion, and affecting the prostate.

The ducts also constrict, hindering excretion and causing congestion.

(6) Infections in other parts of the body: such as tonsillitis, dental caries, skin infections, respiratory infections,

Gastrointestinal infections can lead to bacterial infection of the prostate.

(7) Residual chronic prostatitis following acute urinary tract infection; inflammation of the lower urinary tract organs, colitis, and rectum.

The disease can infect the prostate through the lymphatic system; bacteria in the urethra can directly cause prostate infection.

What are the symptoms of acute and chronic prostatitis?

After the onset of acute prostatitis, patients may experience symptoms such as loss of appetite, vomiting, fatigue, chills, and fever.

Systemic symptoms: Distending pain in the perineum and lower abdomen, radiating to the back, waist, lower abdomen, and thighs.

Spurt; symptoms during urination include urgency, pain, frequency, dribbling, difficulty urinating, or even interruption; rectum

Symptoms include bloating and pain, a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, white discharge from the urethra during bowel movements, painful intercourse, and even hematospermia.

The clinical manifestations of chronic prostatitis are quite complex, mainly due to the complex nerve branches of the prostate.

Common clinical symptoms of guan include:

(1) Burning pain in the urethra during urination, which can radiate to the head of the penis, and unclean discharge at the urethral opening in the morning.

(2) Posterior urethra. The perineum and anus feel moist, sticky, and uncomfortable; pressure causes a feeling of fullness, which persists for a long time.

The pain is most severe when sitting, squatting, or defecating.

(3) Lumbosacral pain.

(4) Sexual dysfunction.

(5) During an acute attack or when an abscess forms, symptoms include fever, fatigue, weakness, loss of appetite, and nausea.

Symptoms include heart palpitations, chills, and exhaustion.

(6) A series of neurological symptoms appear, such as dizziness, tinnitus, blurred vision, insomnia, dreaminess, depression, etc.

(7) In some patients who have not received treatment for a long time, it may cause allergic reactions or rheumatism in the whole body, bones and joints.

Moistening changes, such as neuritis, arthritis, etc.
