What should be noted when treating the prostate with urethral catheterization?

Patient's question:

What are the risks of urethral catheterization for treating prostatitis? Will it affect sexual function? What are the risks to the prostate? Does it affect erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation? Does it affect weak ejaculation?

Doctor's answer:

Pay close attention to thorough sterilization, preferably with some isolation measures. Always keep the lubricant and catheter sterile. Maintain the correct angle and gently and slowly insert it. Pay attention to the insertion length of the catheter and whether urine is flowing out from it. If it is flowing out, insert it slightly further by about 1 cm. Generally speaking, it will not interfere with the reproductive system and will not affect sexual life between couples.
