What are the consequences of not treating prostatitis?

Patient's question:

Married for half a month, I found that my husband has severe premature ejaculation and cannot have sex at all. Since we hadn't been together before, I didn't know his specific situation. I had his semen checked carefully at the hospital and found that there were many white blood cells, indicating chronic prostatitis. I would like to ask, what will happen if chronic prostatitis is not treated?

Doctor's answer:

Prostatitis is generally a chronic inflammation, with a wide range of symptoms, primarily and pain in the lower abdomen, perineum, and testicles. Some individuals may not have symptoms and only discover it during health check-ups. In terms of treatment, it is important to maintain dry and clean genital hygiene, avoid spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and drinking, and refrain from sexual activity and intercourse. Oral anti-inflammatory medication such as levofloxacin should be taken, and physical therapy devices should be used. Generally, it takes four to six weeks to see noticeable effects.
