Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been feeling weak in my sexual performance. Also, when I go to the bathroom, I've noticed that my urine is cloudy, and there's a bit of pain at the urethral opening. Could you please tell me: what are the risks of not treating prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Due to the long-term failure to alleviate the disease, various symptoms and discomforts are relieved after sexual intercourse, or they directly interfere with the sensitivity and quality of sexual life, triggering a negative stimulus in patients and gradually leading to a sense of aversion, resulting in conditions such as premature ejaculation. Long-term chronic inflammation causes changes in the composition of prostatic fluid, disrupts the excretory function of the prostate, and subsequently interferes with the evaporation time of semen, increasing sperm vitality, which can lead to male infertility. If the condition of prostatitis recurs, it should be checked and treated by a hospital as early as possible. Contrary to consuming spicy foods, a light diet can reduce the pressure on the prostate.
