Patient's question:
I am 34 years old and a genuine farmer. My family lives by farming, but when we harvested our crops this autumn, I always felt the urge to urinate after going to the toilet, yet little urine came out. However, if I didn't go, I would constantly feel the need to urinate. After visiting a clinic, they diagnosed me with prostatitis, and we were prescribed some anti-inflammatory medication.Doctor's answer:
Hello, I am a urologist from Baoding. 1. Causing sexual dysfunction. Prostatic calculi are one of the main causes of sexual dysfunction, and surveys have also shown that more than 70% of patients with prostatic calculi have sexual dysfunction. Prostatic calculi can easily lead to sexual dysfunction, such as painful intercourse, low libido, impotence, premature ejaculation, etc. Some people may also experience anejaculation and hematospermia. The repeated recurrence and long-term non-healing of prostatic calculi bring physical discomfort and psychological disorders to patients, leading to mental states such as fear, anxiety, and depression. The interweaving of these two issues can easily create a vicious cycle. 2. Causing inflammation. In chronic prostatitis, due to the expansion of the acini and the narrowing of the prostatic ducts, salts in the urine can precipitate in the prostatic tissue to form calculi. However, the obstruction and irritation of the calculi on the acini and ducts can also cause inflammation of the prostate, leading to congestion, desquamation of the epithelial lining of the acini, and fibrosis of the glandular tissue. The progression or suppuration of inflammation can cause inflammation around the prostate, and severe infections can even lead to the formation of prostatic abscesses.
