Patient's question:
Lately, these past few days, I've been feeling uncomfortable when using the restroom, with some pain. Usually, I feel a burning sensation at the urethral opening. Basically, I've been feeling restless. I'm only 31 years old this year, could it be that I have prostatitis? If it really is, please ask: what are the dangers of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Currently, there is no clear evidence to prove that prostatitis can lead to cancer. Some patients may experience other symptoms such as reduced libido, impaired sexual function, and premature ejaculation. However, there is no large-scale individual survey that proves these symptoms are caused by prostatitis.The theoretical basis for the answer is currently that long-term inflammation leads to congestion in local tissues, muscle coordination and endocrine disorders, which then affect our erection and premature ejaculation. In this situation, it can also lead to increased psychological stress in patients, resulting in depression, anxiety, and a negative impact on their self-confidence, thereby causing a decline in libido.
