Does chronic bacterial prostatitis lead to impotence?

Patient's question:

Does chronic bacterial prostatitis definitely lead to impotence and premature ejaculation? I am currently 23 years old and have no sexual experience. I have had a sexual history for 5 or 6 years. It's possible that I already had prostatitis when I was 18. Anyway, I feel uncomfortable when someone is nearby while using the restroom, and I can't urinate properly.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, prostatitis refers to acute and chronic inflammation caused by specific and non-specific infections of the prostate, leading to systemic or local symptoms. Long-term chronic prostatitis can cause sexual dysfunction in 50% of cases. There are many treatment methods, and a single method has certain limitations in treating this condition. For example, drug treatment has a good long-term effect, but it is not as fast as physical therapy in relieving symptoms.
