Most often, prostatitis is caused by exposure to bacteria or viruses.People weakened by other diseases (including chronic ones) are especially sensitive to it;Prostatitis can also occur due to increased stress, stress, hypothermia, bad habits (alcoholism), i.e. all factors that reduce the body's defenses.Therefore, prostatitis is divided into infectious and non-infectious.
