Does sitting for long periods lead to impotence and premature ejaculation?

Patient's question:

I work in the software industry. I spend most of my days in front of the computer, and long hours of overtime and staying up late are quite normal. I've recently started dating a girlfriend, and things are going well. We're planning to get engaged soon. I'm worried that sitting for long periods might lead to erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, for men who sit for long periods without exercise, it can easily lead to poor ventilation in the lower body, affecting blood circulation, causing obstruction of the prostate gland ducts, difficulty in excreting prostatic fluid, resulting in chronic congestion of the prostate, and leading to prostatitis. The recurrent episodes of prostatitis can affect a man's sexual function, leading to impotence.
