[Multifactorial analysis of the risk factors of chronic prostatitis].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the risk factors of chronic prostatitis.


METHODS
An epidemiological survey of 1,168 patients with chronic prostatitis was conducted and both single factor and multifactorial logistic regression analyses were performed.


CONCLUSIONS
Many risk factors were identified, including urethritis, uncontrolled sexual activity, frequent masturbation, urinary system injury, fixed body posture (especially long-time riding), excessive drinking, long-time holding urine. The findings may provide reference for the prevention, treatment and measures for coping with recurrence of chronic prostatitis.
