Patient's question:
I used to masturbate excessively, for about 9 years. Now I have issues with weak erections, premature ejaculation (I don't stop in the middle, but it lasts about ten minutes), discomfort in the perineum and anal area, occasional white discharge when straining during bowel movements, and occasional urinary urgency, which I experienced for a few days last year. Drinking more water leads to more frequent urination, but I don't drink much water regularly, so I don't urinate often. In the morning, I often have a bitter taste in my mouth, and my lower back tends to ache. Sometimes my scrotum itches, and my testicles occasionally swell and hurt, but this happens only once a year for a few days, and the discomfort disappears afterward. An ultrasound revealed small cysts in the head of the epididymis. Apart from a lab report indicating a Staphylococcus haemolyticus infection (this report was not uploaded), morning erections sometimes occur and sometimes don't—it's inconsistent, and the erection hardness is also not very good.Past Treatment and Effects: I have been treated at a Grade III Tertiary Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital here (Suzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital).
Doctor's answer:
This is mainly due to prostate infection caused by masturbation, which leads to prostatitis. The main symptoms are bladder irritation and rectal control issues, primarily related to the prostate. It is best to undergo systemic antibiotic treatment, and you should also pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid bad habits.Actually, having prostatitis is not something to be afraid of. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as treatment is timely in the early stages, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
