Patient's question:
Doctor, when I was in the second year of junior high school, one summer, I accidentally saw my classmate's breasts, and after that, I couldn't take it anymore. From then on, I started my long sexual life. I think it's because of this that I contracted prostatitis, and I'm currently being treated. Recently, I've noticed some pain in my testicles again.Doctor's answer:
The prostate is one of the male-specific urinary and reproductive organs, located in the pelvic cavity, with a size of approximately 4x3x2 cm and a shape like a chestnut. It is adjacent to the neck of the bladder and surrounds the beginning of the male urethra, known as the prostatic urethra. The main function of the prostate is to secrete prostatic fluid and control urination. Prostatic fluid is a major component of semen. In middle-aged and young men, due to long-term masturbation or excessive sexual activity, consumption of spicy and irritating foods, and alcoholism, the prostate becomes chronically congested, making it difficult for prostatic fluid to be expelled, leading to infection and resulting in prostatitis. In elderly men, urinary difficulties occur due to the enlargement of the prostate compressing the urethra.
