Patient's question:
Doctor, I want to ask about prostate problems. I am only 30 years old. Although I have prostate problems, I still can't quit smoking. Now my prostate condition is getting worse. Doctor, what are the harms of smoking to the prostate?Doctor's answer:
Some people talk about the harm of smoking to the lungs, which is the primary cause of lung cancer. However, for men, smoking also has a serious impact on the prostate and sexual function. It can weaken the prostate's resistance, making it more susceptible to chronic prostatitis, and affect the treatment outcomes for the prostate. Smoking can also lead to premature ejaculation and reduced libido. It is recommended to quit smoking promptly to prevent harm to health. The prostate can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
