Patient's question:
Living with your girlfriend in different places for a long time, sometimes when you have a video call with her, even an accidental remark from her 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, mainly because during masturbation, sexual arousal causes adequate blood supply to the area. Long-term exposure to this condition can easily lead to a decline in immunity, allowing pathogens to invade through the penis and urethral opening, resulting in local inflammatory responses. It is necessary to visit a hospital early for a thorough examination of the prostate via ultrasound to determine if there is a substantive pathogen infection. In addition to active treatment, patients with prostatitis should also pay attention to maintaining a healthy diet in daily life to replenish the body's nutrients. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you!
