Can excessive physical fatigue trigger prostatitis?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Li Mingchuan
Excessive physical fatigue may trigger prostatitis. Prolonged physical exhaustion can lead to reduced immunity, making the body more susceptible to bacterial and viral infections. At the same time, fatigue may also impair blood circulation and metabolism, negatively affecting prostate health. Particularly for individuals who sit for long periods and lack physical activity, excessive fatigue may further increase the burden on the prostate and elevate the risk of developing prostatitis. Therefore, in addition to maintaining good living habits and proper local hygiene, it is important to get adequate rest, avoid overexertion, and engage in appropriate physical exercise to strengthen overall physical condition and boost immunity.
