Does persistent penile erection lead to prostatitis?

Patient's question:

I am 25 years old, male, and feel that my libido is quite strong at this age. I often can't control my thoughts and my penis is always erect. I'm wondering if this affects the prostate, because I know that when the penis is erect, the prostate becomes congested. If my penis is always erect and I don't ejaculate, will this lead to repeated congestion and inflammation of the prostate? Will it cause prostatitis? If I get an erection, should I masturbate to release the semen?

Doctor's answer:

Hello. Male, 25 years old, good physical condition, in the age group with strong physiological needs, the penis often erects, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. Suggestions: In your age group, penile erection is mostly a normal physiological phenomenon and will not cause prostatitis. It is recommended to relieve physiological pressure through masturbation appropriately, and you can release excessive energy through exercise. Good luck.
