Patient's question:
I have had prostatitis for over two years. Every time I take medication, it works, but after stopping the medication, the symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination reappear within a short period of time. After experiencing this cycle several times, I became tired of seeking treatment for my prostatitis. Recently, I noticed that I have experienced premature ejaculation again during sexual activity with my wife. Is erectile dysfunction related to prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
There are several causes that can lead to premature ejaculation, including pathological and psychological factors, and sometimes both can coexist. These include organic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, hypertension, liver and kidney diseases, prostate diseases, endocrine diseases, and mental health issues, as well as unhealthy lifestyles, all of which can manifest as premature ejaculation. It is recommended that you seek professional medical attention for a thorough examination and treatment. In fact, having premature ejaculation is not something to be feared.
