Prostatitis includes acute bacterial prostatitis, chronic bacterial prostatitis, chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome, and asymptomatic prostatitis, with different types and different etiologies, often due to pathogen infection or other causes.
1. Acute bacterial prostatitis: pathogen infection is the main causative factor.
2. Chronic bacterial prostatitis: the causative factor is also mainly pathogenic infection, but the body resistance is stronger and/or the pathogen virulence is weaker, mainly retrograde infection, the pathogen is mainly staphylococcus, followed by Escherichia coli, Corynebacterium, and Enterococcus.
3. Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome: the pathogenesis is unknown, the etiology is very complex, and there is a wide range of discussion: it may be caused by a single initiating factor, or it may be multifactorial from the outset, in which one or more of the factors play a key role and influence each other, or it may be a number of different diseases that are difficult to differentiate.
4. Asymptomatic prostatitis: the exact cause is still unclear, and may be related to pathogen infection, urinary dysfunction.
If you have prostatitis, you should cooperate with your doctor to avoid delaying the treatment.
