In the clinical examination, many patients with prostatitis are worried about the impact of reproductive ability. Generally, prostatitis does not have much impact on sexual intercourse and reproductive ability. If the prostate is removed due to hyperplasia or cancer, it may affect sexual life.
Prostatitis is one of the three common diseases of the prostate, and the other two are prostatic hyperplasia (i.e., prostatic hypertrophy) and prostate cancer. The incidence of prostatitis is mainly young and middle-aged people, and the other two types are senile diseases, which usually occur after the age of 60. In European and American countries, prostate cancer accounts for the first place in male cancer incidence rate, and the second place in mortality of all cancers (the first is lung cancer). But among the yellow people, the incidence rate of prostate cancer is relatively low.
According to the different causes, prostatitis can be divided into many types. But no matter what causes prostatitis, it can be cured. In addition, most prostatitis has nothing to do with sexually transmitted diseases. It is a wrong understanding to treat prostatitis as a sexually transmitted disease.
Like presbyopia, prostatic hyperplasia is actually a manifestation of aging. After the age of 40, the prostate will begin to age, but there will be no obvious symptoms. Generally, after the age of 60, clinical symptoms such as frequent urination, incomplete urination and poor urination will appear. Like prostatic hyperplasia, prostate cancer often occurs after the age of 60. These three diseases will not transform each other, but inflammation and hypertrophy, hypertrophy and cancer may coexist.
Prostate hypertrophy is caused by unstable hormone levels in the body. Prostatic hypertrophy will compress the urethra, thus affecting the excretion of urine in the bladder. From a clinical point of view, more than half of the people aged 60 will have the problem of prostate hypertrophy. The incidence rate of the elderly over 70 years old is more than 70%, and the incidence rate of the elderly over 80 years old is almost 100%.
Although the incidence rate of prostatic hypertrophy is so high, not every patient has obvious symptoms and may not affect the normal life of the patient, including sexual life. Therefore, if it does not affect the normal life of the patient, it is not necessary to treat or even remove the prostate.
