Patient's question:
I have been diagnosed with chronic prostatitis due to my sexual habits in my youth. Can prostatitis lead to erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation? After taking traditional Chinese medicine for a week with no effect, I asked a doctor whether Western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine is better for treating erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. I'm feeling frustrated. It's been about seven or eight years, and it's been the worst in the past two years. I can't even last a minute before ejaculation. Can the doctor give me some advice?Doctor's answer:
Frequent sexual activity during youth can lead to delayed sexual development, chronic prostatitis, sexual dysfunction, and the recurrence of impotence and premature ejaculation. You should actively exercise your body, focus your attention on sexual matters, and completely give up the habit of sexual intercourse. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can use some medications to treat the condition. Avoid drinking beer and eating spicy foods, especially chili peppers. Perform cold compresses or sitz baths in the perineum daily. For patients with premature ejaculation, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it can affect your physical condition. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene.
