Most often, prostatitis is caused by exposure to bacteria or viruses. People who are debilitated as a result of other diseases (including chronic ones) are particularly susceptible to it; Prostatitis can also occur as a result of increased stress, stress, hypothermia, bad habits (alcoholism), ie all those factors that reduce the body's defenses. Therefore, prostatitis is divided into infectious and non-infectious.
