Patient's question:
I'm only 26 years old, don't have a girlfriend, and don't have any bad sexual habits, but I've recently noticed that there's always white stuff coming out of my urethral opening, and it feels itchy and painful when I urinate. I think it might be prostatitis. Could you please tell me: What are the dangers of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The dangers of prostatitis should not lead to a fear of the word "inflammation." First and foremost, prostatitis is not life-threatening; it is simply a common inflammation. If it is a bacterial inflammation, there is a possibility of infection, but the vast majority of patients have non-bacterial inflammation. It is also unlikely to cause harm to women, his sexual partners. Primarily, it is a matter of personal experience with prostatitis. With systematic treatment, this condition can be relieved. Of course, psychological issues and factors need to be properly addressed and adjusted. It can be said that if prostatitis is caused by inflammation leading to the evaporation of semen, and if this evaporation is prolonged, it may interfere with conception. But overall, prostatitis is not something to be feared.
