Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am a male, 38 years old this year. Recently, I have been experiencing some urinary discomfort, urgency, and hesitation during urination, with urine that is particularly yellow and has sediment. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I have a bit of prostatitis. Because I am young, will prostatitis lead to premature ejaculation? Can it affect normal intimate relationships in the future?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis, if not treated actively, may lead to urinary tract obstruction or cause other inflammatory conditions. Over time, it can affect kidney function and may also result in premature ejaculation. Since prostatitis is not very severe, many anti-inflammatory drugs or antibiotics can be taken orally to address the inflammation. Additionally, various physical therapy methods can also be used to treat prostatitis. It is important to maintain good lifestyle habits, avoid smoking and drinking beer to prevent irritation to the body.
