Patient's question:
I was young and foolish back then, always disliking going to nightclubs and sleeping with various women. As a result, I developed prostatitis. However, this didn't affect my ability to have sex, and I continued to live life as usual. But recently, I've found it hard to get erect, and my sexual organs are in pain. I suspect I might already be impotent and want to consult a doctor. Could prostatitis lead to impotence? Will it affect my sex life?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis can lead to impotence. Prostatitis can cause frequent urination, urgency, difficulty urinating, and thus affect sexual function, or it can lead to severe impotence and premature ejaculation, rapid ejaculation, so the harm to the body is significant. For prostatitis, it is necessary to use antibiotics in combination with traditional Chinese medicine as soon as possible to prevent the disease from worsening. During treatment, avoid spicy foods and alcohol. The condition of prostatitis is prone to recurring, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment at professional and reputable hospitals in a timely manner, and treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations.
