Chronic prostatitis, due to its complicated causes, is difficult to establish and diagnose. Some patients with chronic prostatitis cannot be cured and have recurring attacks. In addition to taking antiviral drugs according to the doctor's instructions, it is also recommended to seek medical treatment in a traditional Chinese medicine department and use traditional Chinese and Western medicine methods to achieve good therapeutic effects. Generally, one dose of Chinese medicinal materials is taken per day, and the medication is continued for 2-3 months according to the treatment process. The dosage of Chinese medicinal materials and the medication cycle can be adjusted as appropriate according to the condition of the disease. In addition to taking medicines, you can also perform partial prostate massage, twice a day for about 15 minutes each time, to improve the uncomfortable symptoms of prostatitis.

1. Chronic bacterial infection of prostatitis

The main cause of the disease is pathogenic bacteria, but the body's resistance is very strong or/and the pathogenic bacteria have poor virulence. Reverse infection is the main cause. The main pathogenic bacteria are Staphylococcus, followed by Escherichia coli, Corynebacterium and Enterococcus. Prostate stones and urinary reflux may be key causes of persistence of pathogenic bacteria and the onset of infection.

2. Chronic non-bacterial infection of prostatitis

The etiology is very complex, and the main cause may be the interaction of pathogenic infection, inflammation, abnormal pelvic neuromuscular activity, and abnormal immunity.

(1) Pathogen infection In patients with this type of infection, although basic pathogen tests cannot isolate the pathogen, it may still be related to some unique pathogens, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, L-shaped proteobacteria, nanotechnology bacteria, or mycoplasma-positive, chlamydia and other infections. Studies have shown that the diagnostic rate of some prokaryotic DNA in patients with this type can reach 77% ； In clinical medicine, some "sterile test" prostatitis that is dominated by inflammation, relapses or worsens may be related to this pathogenic bacteria. Other pathogenic bacteria such as sparganosis, bacteria, viruses, trichomonas, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis may also be the main pathogenic factors of this type, but there is a lack of reliable evidence and no unified recommendations have been made so far.

(2) Urinary dysfunction. Some factors cause excessive contraction of the urethral sphincter, resulting in blockage of the bladder inlet and outlet and the production of residual urine, causing back-injection of urine into the prostate. Not only can pathogens be brought to the prostate, but it can also directly stimulate the prostate, causing sterile "acid prostatitis", causing abnormal urination and pelvic pain.

Many patients with prostatitis have various urodynamic changes, such as decreased urinary flow rate, multifunctional urinary tract obstruction, detrusor-urethral sphincter coordination imbalance, etc. Abnormalities in this function may be related to various potential disease factors.

(3) Research on mental and psychological disorders shows that more than half of the prostatitis patients who are difficult to heal for a long time have significant mental and psychological disorders and changes in personality traits. Such as: anxiety, depression, hypochondriasis, hysteria, and even masochistic tendencies. This change in mental and psychological disorders can cause autonomic nerve dysfunction, leading to imbalance of neuromuscular function in the posterior urethra, causing pain in the pelvic area and imbalance of urinary function. ； It may also cause changes in the function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis, affecting male sexual function and further aggravating the disease. Eliminating stress and anxiety can alleviate or cure the disease. However, it is still unclear whether changes in mental state are the direct cause or secondary manifestations.
