What are the known risk factors for chronic prostatitis?

Condition analysis:
Conditions that allow retrograde movement of bacteria into the urethra and the prostate are risk factors for CBP. Patients with a history of urethritis caused by sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are thought to be at risk of subsequent CBP. Risk factors for CNP/CPPS are largely unknown but may include conditions that can lead to chronic neuropathic pain.

CBP is thought to be caused by infection moving from the distal urethra to the prostate. Facilitating factors are the presence of foreskin, urethral stricture, benign prostatic hyperplasia, history of STI, recent instrumentation or catheterization, and retrograde ejaculation.

The specific pathophysiology of CNP/CPPS is poorly understood. Recent research suggests that some insult to the prostate may trigger central pain sensitization leading to persistent neuropathic pain, which is similar to other chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, and endometriosis.

Instructions:
1.  Pumpkin seeds: Pumpkin seeds are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which are essential for maintaining healthy prostrate. Taking 80 grams of seed per day is an effective home remedy for prostatitis and other urinary disorders. The seeds can be taken raw or added as a powder of other food preparation or drunk with honey or milk.

2. Carrot juice:  A glass of carrot juice taken separately or in combination with spinach juice (in 3:2 ratio), twice a day is an excellent remedy for Prostatitis and other prostrate diseases.
