Prostatitis

Introduction

Our View of the Cause of Prostatitis

Although there are different even contradictory views on the causes of prostatitis, in recently years, the medical community have come up with other very aggressive challenges to the mainstream views that prostatitis is not contagious or has nothing to do with microorganisms, we don't agree with that. We think the main cause of prostatitis is the infections from microorganisms contracted from contacts such as sexual contacts, personal hygiene, use of public toilets, etc.

From the information we have in the record of thousands of domestic and foreign patients who visited us for the prostatitis treatment, the majority of them have high-risk sexual contacts, the remaining patients have no clue about how they got infected.

This is a very interesting statistics, even if you have no sexual contacts, there are still a risk that they may got it from other sources, say if you use the washroom, you may touch the latches, faucets, etc. On the bus, you may expose yourself to the risk too. So the risk is everywhere although it is not obvious.
