Patient's question:
Recently, I felt severe pain in my testicles and went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said I had prostatitis. I have been taking medication for treatment, but now I have absolutely no interest in sex. What could be the reason?Hello doctor, can prostatitis cause sexual dysfunction?
Doctor's answer:
For men, if they have prostatitis, they usually exhibit symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain during urination, as well as groin pain. Of course, if the prostatitis is severe, it may also lead to sexual dysfunction, such as impotence or premature ejaculation. If you are experiencing similar symptoms, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly at a urology department or a department specializing in male health for a thorough examination and treatment.Facing the harm of prostatitis, we should actively undergo examinations and treatment, avoiding hesitation to seek medical care. If the prostatitis does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly reassess and adjust the treatment plan.
