Patient's question:
31-year-old male I previously had prostatitis, and in these years, it has been well-controlled without recurrence. The other day, I planned to go for a follow-up check-up to see if everything is still fine. I am concerned that this condition might affect my health. Could you please tell me what are the dangers of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis, if not resolved in the long term, can lead to severe symptoms and discomfort, directly impacting sexual sensitivity and quality, causing negative stimulation, and gradually developing a sense of aversion to sex, potentially resulting in conditions like impotence and premature ejaculation. Prostatitis caused by special bacterial infections can transmit its inflammation to the wife through sexual intercourse. Long-term chronic inflammation can alter the composition of prostatic fluid, affecting the prostate's excretory function, which in turn influences the vaporization time of semen, potentially increasing sperm vitality and leading to male infertility issues.
