Chronic prostatitis is a common disease among young and middle-aged people. Many young men who suffer from it are worried about whether they can get married in the future, whether their marriage will affect their sexual function, and whether they can have children.
We know that the prostate is the largest accessory gonad in men, and the prostate fluid secreted by it is an important part of semen, which has important functions such as nourishing sperm and helping sperm to move. The prostate gland is located deep in the perineum and surrounds the posterior urethra, participating in partial sexual activity. Therefore, inflammation of the prostate is bound to affect sexual function and fertility to a certain extent. So how big is the impact? Will it cause yang cramps or infertility?
Let's talk about the impact of chronic prostatitis on sexual function. Infection of prostate tissue causes inflammation. When sexually excited, it can cause local pain and discomfort due to prostate congestion. During orgasm, it can cause spasmodic painful contraction of the prostate, resulting in ejaculatory pain. Due to the continuous stimulation of chronic inflammation, patients are also prone to premature ejaculation and hematospermia. As for the question of whether chronic prostatitis can cause impotence, the correct understanding is that the erection of the penis depends on normal anatomical structure, nerve conduction and reflection, normal arterial perfusion, the opening and congestion of cavernous blood sinuses, the relative reduction of venous reflux, and the regulatory role of endocrine male hormones. Obviously, chronic prostatitis does not, and cannot, cause pathological changes in the anatomical structure, innervation, blood vessels, and endocrine system of the body. Therefore, it does not cause organic yang spasms. However, due to the protracted symptoms of chronic prostatitis, difficulties in treatment, anxiety and fear in some patients, and self denial of the image of a man, some people can indeed experience impotence over time. However, it is obvious that this type of yang spasm is mostly mental impotence.
Next, let's talk about the impact of chronic prostatitis on Shengtai. Since prostate fluid is an important component of semen, inflammation of the prostate, the entry of pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria and their toxins into the semen, will consume the nutritional components of the semen, alter the acidity and alkalinity of the semen, affect the activity of related enzymes, increase the viscosity of the semen, interfere with sperm motility, and so on. These are all adverse factors affecting fertility. However, clinical findings indicate that there are very few cases of infertility caused by chronic prostatitis. According to statistics from scholars, it only accounts for about 4% of patients with chronic prostatitis, and it cannot be denied whether these patients have other causes. The author has also treated patients with large amounts of pus cells in their semen, and found that their fertility was not affected. Therefore, although in theory, chronic prostatitis can affect the semen quality and fertility of patients, it is not always the case. Moreover, prostatitis can be cured or alleviated.
In fact, the harm of chronic prostatitis to the human body is not so much physical as psychological and more accurate. Especially for young patients, due to a lack of knowledge of sexual medicine and the influence of some doctor's comments or media statements, they are constantly worried, daydreaming, unable to eat well, and unable to sleep, resulting in a decline in their physical health and low sexual function, which in turn increases the ideological burden and forms a vicious cycle. For such patients, in addition to actively treating physical diseases, it is more important to relieve their mental pressure and unnecessary concerns. Only by building up confidence in overcoming diseases can a man's virility be restored.
