Patient's question:
If there is prostatitis, will it cause problems for future fertility? Can this disease be completely cured?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this disease can be cured with active treatment and will not affect fertility. You should also pay attention to self-regulation. Chronic prostatitis is a common and frequently occurring disease in adult males. Whether in formal large hospitals or individual small clinics, effective treatments are lacking. For chronic prostatitis with mild symptoms, there is no significant difference between treatment and waiting, but patients still urgently seek treatment. Therefore, the focus should shift from solving the "disease" to solving the "person" problem. The patient's self-care and understanding of chronic prostatitis are particularly important.1. Clarify the understanding: The prostate is the intersection of the male urinary and reproductive systems. It is prone to urinary system inflammation and recurrence, as well as reproductive system inflammation with difficulty in cure and frequent changes. Chronic prostatitis is not a sexually transmitted disease, nor is it contagious, and sexual activity does not need to be avoided. Of course, those who have had sexually transmitted diseases are a different matter.
2. Understand the prognosis: The symptoms of chronic prostatitis are complex, primarily local symptoms, psychological burden, and effects on sex and fertility. Chronic prostatitis is not directly related to benign prostatic hyperplasia or prostate cancer, nor does it pose a threat to life. It only affects sex and fertility but does not prevent marriage or reproduction.
3. Adjust lifestyle: The causes of this disease are mainly infection and congestion. To avoid infection, prevent sexually transmitted diseases, actively treat urethritis, and drink plenty of water. Many factors can cause congestion, such as abnormal sexual activity (masturbation or frequent sexual intercourse, holding back semen), physical stimulation (cycling, driving, prolonged sitting, holding urine), and dietary imbalances (excessive alcohol consumption, overeating spicy foods).
