Does prostatitis cause high blood pressure?

Patient's question:

Previously diagnosed with prostatitis, I have experienced dizziness and lightheadedness in daily life. Sometimes, I also feel dizzy while sleeping. Later, I was diagnosed with hypertension. So, I want to ask if prostatitis can lead to hypertension?

Doctor's answer:

Prostatitis and hypertension are two different diseases. They do not interfere with each other. Your current hypertension has no relation to your previous prostatitis. These two diseases require separate treatment. Two types of receptor antihypertensive drugs can also inhibit benign prostatic hyperplasia. It is best to use such drugs to implement antihypertensive rescue and can increase the variety of medications taken. Hypertension is caused by reasons such as mental stress, excessive salt intake, and more.
