Patient's question:
Does chronic bacterial prostatitis definitely lead to impotence and premature ejaculation? I am currently 23 years old and have no sexual experience. I have had a history of masturbation for 5 or 6 years. I might have already had prostatitis around the age of 18. Anyway, I feel uncomfortable when someone is nearby when I go to the bathroom, and I can't urinate properly. Later, when I entered university, I masturbated less, but the symptoms of frequent urination and dripping urine still existed. There was no white discharge, and I have severe left varicocele. However, due to financial and psychological reasons, I never went to see a doctor. In March 2005, I went to the urology department to check the prostatic fluid.

Physical therapy is indeed effective for chronic prostatitis, but relying solely on it is difficult to completely cure the condition. Prostate injection therapy is effective for stubborn and refractory prostatitis, but due to its numerous side effects, it needs to be combined with effective physical therapy to improve blood circulation and soften scars. Some patients may see their white blood cell count in prostatic fluid drop to normal, and bacterial culture turn from positive to negative after treatment, but their subjective symptoms do not improve. Some patients may even have their symptoms disappear, yet still feel worried, which requires psychological treatment. Chronic prostatitis indeed requires comprehensive treatment, and this should also include the establishment of good lifestyle habits and regulation of daily routines for the patient. Here, I offer a few practical health tips for your reference.
1. Urinate frequently For both men and women, this is an unchanging principle, and it is also a good method for kidney health.
2. Drink more water Drinking more water leads to more frequent urination, and highly concentrated urine can cause more stimulation to the prostate. Therefore, drink more water to dilute the concentration of urine.
3. Relax more Lifestyle stress may increase the likelihood of prostate enlargement. Clinical studies show that when lifestyle stress is reduced, the prostate
