Patient's question:
Living with your girlfriend in different places for a long time, sometimes when you have a video call with her, even a casual remark can make you very excited, and then you get hard. If you don't masturbate, it hurts a lot. I often masturbate—could I be at risk of getting prostatitis? What are the signs before it develops?Doctor's answer:
Frequent masturbation can lead to persistent congestion and swelling of the prostate, primarily because sexual arousal during masturbation causes adequate blood supply to the area. Over time, this can weaken the immune system, allowing pathogens to enter through the penis and urethral opening, resulting in local inflammatory responses. It is necessary to visit a hospital early for a thorough ultrasound examination of the prostate to determine if there is a substantive pathogen infection. In addition to active treatment, patients with prostatitis should also maintain a healthy diet in daily life to replenish nutrients. I hope the above answer helps you. Thank you!
