Have you heard of bacterial prostatitis

Bacterial prostatitis is one of the prostate diseases. Over the past ten years, with the development of economy, people's working pressure has been increasing, and the incidence rate has also been rising. So how harmful is bacterial prostatitis? What are the specific hazards?

First of all, let's know what is bacterial prostatitis?

Bacterial prostatitis is part or all of the obvious inflammatory reaction of the prostate caused by bacterial infection of the prostate, which is often non-specific. It is generally divided into three stages: hyperemia, vesicle and parenchyma. The clinical manifestations of bacterial prostatitis include fever, chills, general soreness, weakness, anorexia and other systemic symptoms, as well as local symptoms such as swelling and discomfort of perineum and anus, frequent urination, urgency, pain in urination, difficulty in urination or hematuria or even dysuria.

Patients with acute bacterial prostatitis usually respond well to antibiotic treatment, although these drugs normally diffuse poorly from plasma to prostatic fluid. Ascending urethritis and intraprostatic reflux of infected urine are believed to cause acute bacterial prostatitis, which then leads to prostatic abscess. Chronic bacterial prostatitis is characterized by recurrent urinary tract infection caused by the same pathogenic bacteria. The clinical history of patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis with or without infectious prostate stones is not easy to distinguish. Infectious prostate stones have never been cured only through medical treatment.

So what is the harm of bacterial prostatitis?

Prostate fluid is an important component of semen. If the prostate becomes inflamed, some enzymes secreted by prostate fluid will decrease. These enzymes can promote the activation of semen and sperm, and improve the motility of sperm. What if it is verified? It can cause the sperm not to liquefy, so the sperm activity ability is reduced, leading to infertility.

Because it can cause sexual dysfunction, significantly reduce men's self-confidence, and affect the quality of life and marital relationship. Pain and maladaptive symptoms of lumbosacral and perineum and urethral secretion can affect work and learning.

If the acute bacterial prostatitis is not handled properly, it may also cause the disease to delay and develop into chronic prostatitis. Severe chronic prostatitis can make prostate fibrosis cause sperm deficiency and loss of orgasm.
