Nonbacterial prostatitis is likely to be caused by improper masturbation

Nonbacterial prostatitis isn’t like bacterial prostatitis which was mainly due to Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus; it is mainly caused by the pathogenic bacteria like mycoplasma, chlamydia, and virus, or recurrent hyperemia of the prostate. Among them, the reason why improper masturbation can cause nonbacterial prostatitis is mainly due to recurrent hyperemia of the prostate.

On the one hand, the blood circulation of the prostate is characterized by rich arterial blood supply ,but it is relatively greater resistance to venous return. And improper masturbation is easy to make the prostate have repeated congestion. Long-term and repeated congestion will increase the barriers to venous blood return, making the local blood stasis. And the blood stagnation will make the metabolism decreased, which cause the immunity of the prostate decreased, finally inducing nonbacterial prostatitis.

One the other hand, semen is composed of seminal vesicles secretions and prostatic fluid. Improper masturbation may easily emit large amounts of prostatic fluid, making the reduction of zinc in prostatic fluid ingredients. While zinc is also considered a major antibacterial ingredient of prostatic fluid, so zinc reduction can decrease the levels of defense capabilities of the prostate, gradually leading to nonbacterial prostatitis.

Untreated nonbacterial prostatitis may lead to sexual and urinary problems. These problems can affect male lifestyle and emotional well-being. So the treatment should be paid enough attention. As we know, for bacterial prostatitis, antibiotics, an antimicrobial therapy, may be effective. However, it doesn’t work on nonbacterial prostatitis as there are no bacteria in the prostate.

At present, TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) is common adopted for treating this disease. For the symptoms of urinary frequency and urgency, herbs which have the functions of promoting diuresis and relieving stranguria are usually applied in TCM, such as Plantain Seed, Cowherb Seed etc. Besides, to relieve the symptoms of pain and flatulence feeling, herbs which can activate blood and resolve stasis are applied such as red peony, Angelica sinensis etc. And to have more complete in formula and effective in curative effects, herbal medicine like diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill works well.

In summary, it is necessary for men to give up improper masturbation; it can not only affect the sex intercourse, but also easily lead to nonbacterial prostatitis. And if men have suffered from this disease, diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill as well as healthy living habits can make it cured radically.
