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 sexual life at all. Because we hadn't been together before, I didn't understand 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 wonder what will happen if chronic prostatitis is not treated?

Doctor's answer:

Prostatitis is generally a chronic inflammation, with a wide variety of symptoms, primarily and pain in the lower abdomen, perineum, and testicles. Some individuals may not have any symptoms and only discover it during a health check-up. In terms of treatment, it is important to maintain dryness and hygiene of the genital area, avoid spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and alcohol, and refrain from sexual activity. Oral anti-inflammatory medication such as levofloxacin and the use of physical therapy devices are recommended. Generally, it takes four to six weeks to see improvement.
