Patient's question:
I am a programmer, and my work pressure is usually quite high. Recently, I've been feeling unwell, mainly with lower back pain and also with painful urination. I'm very concerned, and after a thorough check-up at the hospital, they said it's prostatitis. What I mainly want to consult about is whether prostatitis can lead to the absence of morning erections?Doctor's answer:
Patients with prostatitis often experience a loss of normal morning erections in the morning. This condition is primarily caused by prostatitis leading to symptoms such as kidney qi deficiency or kidney yang deficiency. During treatment, it is essential to take oral anti-prostatitis medications, such as cephalosporins or penicillin-based anti-inflammatory drugs, for about 7 to 15 days, followed by observation.
