Patient's question:
I have developed prostatitis again, and I had a child after the treatment. At the end of last year, the symptoms reappeared, and I underwent treatment at a hospital for three months. In March of this year, sexual dysfunction has started to reappear again, including impotence.Doctor's answer:
Some chronic prostatitis patients may experience recurring sexual dysfunction to varying degrees, such as premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, and other issues. Theoretically, chronic prostatitis does not directly harm the neurovascular function of penile erection and will never lead to premature ejaculation. However, due to long-term discomfort in the lumbar and sacral regions and perineum, patients often develop psychological stress, which can trigger depression and anxiety. Particularly those who are unfamiliar with or have only a superficial understanding of the condition, often worry about their sexual function, and over time, these psychological factors can reduce sexual desire, ultimately leading to true functional sexual dysfunction.
