Patient's question:
My colleague recently found that he frequently urinates, has discomfort during urination, and experiences a burning sensation. There may be white discharge when urinating or defecating. After a thorough examination at the hospital, he was diagnosed with prostatitis.Doctor's answer:
Important causes of prostatitis: frequent sexual intercourse, alcohol consumption, spicy and greasy foods, cycling, prolonged sitting, and exposure to cold can all lead to weakened prostatic congestion. Authoritative experimental results indicate that 30% of patients with chronic non-bacterial prostatitis exhibit excessive tension symptoms such as anxiety, depression, fear, and pessimism, which are referred to as "tension-type prostatitis." During prostatitis, the secretion of prostatic fluid increases, resulting in an increase in semen volume, which is beneficial for the survival and movement of sperm. Additionally, due to the rise in active substances and the increase in coagulation factors in prostatic fluid, the semen becomes gelatinous after being expelled from the body, thereby slowing down the evaporation time of semen and hindering the normal movement of sperm. Both factors can affect male fertility.
