What are the causes of chronic prostatitis?

The causes of chronic prostatitis are diverse, mainly including: 1. Low immunity: Unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as unbalanced diet and lack of exercise, may lead to decreased immunity, making the prostate susceptible to bacterial invasion. 2. Prostatic congestion: Factors such as prolonged sitting, improper sexual activity, or pressure on the prostate area may cause long-term congestion of the prostate, thus inducing inflammation. 3. Urinary irritation: Chemical irritation from urine or high urethral pressure may cause irritative chemical substances to reflux into the prostate, triggering inflammation. 4. Pathogen infection: Pathogens such as bacteria and viruses may infect the prostate through blood circulation or urethral retrograde infection, leading to inflammation. 5. Other factors: Endocrine disorders, prostatic hyperplasia, neuroendocrine factors, and others may also contribute to the development of chronic prostatitis.
