Prostate diseases can lead to what illnesses?

Patient's question:

I recently don't know what's going on, my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. Please ask which diseases can be caused by prostatitis.

Doctor's answer:

The prostate is an important accessory organ of the male reproductive system. The prostatic fluid it produces is also a significant component of semen, playing a role in nourishing sperm and facilitating fertilization of the egg. However, the prostate is also a "trouble spot" for men. Prostate diseases are common in urology, including acute and chronic prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and prostate stones. In China, more than 40% of young and middle-aged men over 20 years old suffer from chronic prostatitis, while more than 80% of elderly men over 60 years old experience varying degrees of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Moreover, as the main accessory gland of men, prostate lesions are prone to various complications, such as seminal vesiculitis, impotence, premature ejaculation, epididymitis, and infertility, directly affecting men's quality of life and physical health. Therefore, it is essential to actively prevent, detect early, and treat promptly in daily life.
