Is prostatitis serious?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been experiencing frequent urination and a burning sensation during urination. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the result was that I had prostatitis. The doctor said it seemed quite serious, and I don't know if he was intentionally scaring me. Is it really that serious?

Doctor's answer:

Prostatitis has some hazards, such as causing infertility; leading to endocrine disorders; causing chronic nephritis; infecting close relatives and bringing about gynecological inflammation; being prone to transmission, etc. It is absolutely essential not to take prostatitis lightly, but there is no need to be overly anxious. Only by seeking timely medical treatment can the problem be resolved. It is recommended to visit the hospital promptly for treatment. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it may affect overall health.
