Patient's question:
Frequent urination, without medication almost has no effect, but recently taking medication has made it more noticeable. Erection hardness has decreased. Should I continue taking it? What should I do about decreased erection hardness and sexual function?Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Taking medication will not worsen prostatitis, but if not taking medication leads to improvement, then medication may not be necessary. Some cases of prostatitis can cause sexual dysfunction, leading to issues like premature ejaculation or difficulty achieving erection. Therefore, for individuals with prostatitis combined with sexual dysfunction, it is essential to first treat the prostatitis before considering medication based on the recovery of sexual function.Advice: It is best to consult a regular hospital for diagnosis. If prostatitis is confirmed, antibiotics such as levofloxacin can be used. Chinese herbal medicines like Yinhuai Muyanlin or Milinqing can also be combined with drugs to improve urination, such as tamsulosin hydrochloride sustained-release tablets. Please follow the doctor's advice regarding specific medication usage.
