Patient's question:
I have prostatitis and am currently undergoing treatment.Doctor's answer:
Impactful functions, leading to impotence and premature ejaculation. Due to the long-term failure to treat the disease, various symptoms and discomforts worsen after sexual intercourse, or directly affect the experience and quality of sexual life, causing patients a vicious cycle of stimulation, gradually leading to a sense of aversion and phenomena such as impotence and premature ejaculation.Affects fertility, potentially causing infertility. Long-term chronic inflammation changes the composition of prostatic fluid, affecting the secretion function of the prostate, thereby impacting the liquefaction time of semen and reducing sperm vitality, which can lead to male infertility.
Causes endocrine disorders, leading to mental abnormalities. Under normal circumstances, the prostate secretes various active substances. Due to inflammation of the prostate, endocrine disorders can cause neurosis, resulting in abnormal mental states; it may also manifest as insomnia, frequent dreams, fatigue, dizziness, slow thinking, and memory loss.
Leads to chronic nephritis, potentially progressing to uremia. If prostatitis is not treated promptly, it can lead to benign prostatic hyperplasia, compressing the bladder outlet and causing incomplete emptying of urine, resulting in residual urine. Residual urine is an excellent breeding ground for bacteria, and with the compromised defense mechanism of the bladder mucosa, it is highly prone to urinary tract infections such as pyelonephritis. If treatment is ineffective at this stage, conditions like pyelonephritis or hydronephrosis may develop, further progressing to nephritis and ultimately to uremia.
