Patient's question:
My boyfriend has prostatitis, but now his sexual function has also declined again. How do you treat sexual dysfunction caused by prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
If the sexual function decline is caused by prostate-related diseases, the first step is to treat the prostate-related condition. If it is due to inflammation, it is recommended to primarily use anti-inflammatory medications for treatment. A prostate fluid examination can be conducted to check for inflammation. If there is no inflammation, it is advised to combine it with herbs that clear heat and promote diuresis for treatment. For prostate patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If it is not treated promptly, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely medication treatment and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
