Patient's question:
At the age of 38, two years ago, I was diagnosed with prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis due to unbearable lower back pain. After treatment, the conditions improved, and I did not seek further treatment. Recently, although my body shows no discomfort, my sexual function has significantly declined. A check revealed 3 spermatic bodies and a slight amount of white blood cells. Ultrasound showed no obvious inflammation in the prostate but indicated seminal vesiculitis. Due to the decline in sexual function, what are the symptoms of prostatitis-induced sexual dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Impotence refers to young and middle-aged individuals who, due to reasons such as deficiency, fright, and damp-heat, cause the loss of nourishment and relaxation of the zong jing (canal sinews), leading to weak and unaroused penis, limp erection during intercourse, or firm but unable to last. It is often accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue, lower back and knee weakness, dizziness and tinnitus, heat and swelling in the scrotum and penis, reduced semen volume or low sperm motility, a sense of fullness and pain in the perineum, difficulty urinating, or clear, frequent urination.
