Why do you have prostate inflammation if you don’t have bacteria?

  Clinically, patients often question, “Why would you have prostate inflammation without bacteria?” . Well, first we need to clarify what is inflammation?   Acute inflammation is often associated with changes such as redness, swelling, heat, pain, and dysfunction, and is often accompanied by systemic reactions such as fever and leukocytosis. The medical community classifies inflammation into two categories: “bacterial inflammation” and “aseptic inflammation”, depending on whether the inflammation is related to bacterial infection. Therefore, inflammation can occur without bacteria – aseptic inflammation.  Western medicine considers aseptic inflammation to be an inflammatory reaction caused by physical, chemical, and other non-bacterial factors, usually with symptoms of swelling, bruising, and pain. Chinese medicine believes that it is due to damage to the skin and flesh, resulting in stagnation of qi and blood, obstruction of meridians, injury to the limbs outside, and injury to the blood inside, resulting in disharmony of the Ying and Wei, and blockage of qi and blood. The stubborn pain and dysfunction of the body belong to the scope of “paralysis” and “paralysis pain” in Chinese medicine. According to research findings: soft tissues due to acute injury or chronic strain injury caused by aseptic inflammation, such as cervical spondylosis lingering difficult to heal, because of trauma, strain injury and other factors caused by cervical disc protrusion, edema, bruising. In addition, aseptic inflammation long-term stimulation of local tissues, resulting in the formation of osteophytes due to the proliferation of cartilage tissue ossification, which in turn stimulates the surrounding tissues to form new aseptic inflammation after the formation of osteophytes. Aseptic inflammation is not a bacterial infection and antibiotic treatment is ineffective.  Therefore, there is no bacteria will be the same inflammation.
