What causes prostatitis in men? This question excites many members of the stronger sex. I would immediately like to warn that the treatment of prostatitis should be carried out under the constant supervision of the appropriate doctor, and it is recommended that you periodically consult with doctors if there are any incomprehensible situations in the treatment process. But before proceeding to therapy, you need to know what causes prostatitis in men and eliminate this influencing factor.
Causes
Currently, experts identify the following reasons why prostatitis in men appears at a young age:
- Overactive sex life, which implies a large number of sexual partners, often erratic relationships that do not guarantee the absolute health of the partner in an intimate plan, and therefore lead to various kinds of diseases.
- From the previous paragraph, another reason for prostatitis becomes logical: sexually transmitted diseases, such as syphilis, AIDS, which are transmitted sexually with an irresponsible attitude of the individual to his sexual life.
- The lack of an active lifestyle and office work is also one of the factors that causes prostatitis in men at a young age. The fact is that with a sedentary lifestyle, congestive prostatitis can get aggravated. In this case, the bacteria that are in the pelvic area begin to actively divide and cause discomfort to the human body.
- Permanent use of antibiotics can also contribute to the development of prostatitis. Antibiotics kill the protective functions of the body, creating a favorable environment for the development of bacteria in the inguinal region.
- Constant hypothermia of the body, contributing to a decrease in the protective functions of the immune system, which impedes its normal functioning.
- Disturbed hormonal background. With strong emotional shocks, constant stress, the immune system loses its protective functions and leads to the occurrence of diseases, including chronic ones. Thus, prostatitis can be the result of a person suffered a nervous shock.
- Impaired blood and lymph circulation in the inguinal region. It is known that in a small pelvis, in a large intestine a certain amount of bacteria is always contained. But if such a bacterium enters the prostate gland , it provokes inflammatory processes and prostatitis is instantly activated.
- Overweight. In the presence of excess kilograms, not to mention obesity, the human body does not withstand strong additional loads and gives signals through diseases. Prostatitis, especially its acute form, can be the result of malnutrition, excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages.
- Lack of permanent personal hygiene. A commonplace cause of prostatitis can be non-compliance with personal hygiene.
