Male friends often ask me, can prostatitis lead to impotence and premature ejaculation? These male friends have experienced or are currently experiencing prostate disease, and they are more concerned about the decline in sexual ability of their bodies. What about the facts? Let's have a chat with everyone today.
What is impotence and premature ejaculation?
Impotence
In medicine, it is called erectile dysfunction, abbreviated as ED, which generally refers to the inability of the penis to erect and complete sexual life. It is a type of sexual dysfunction.
Premature ejaculation
It is currently a relatively common ejaculatory dysfunction, abbreviated as PE. It is generally believed that men ejaculate before or shortly after entering a woman's body and cannot satisfy themselves or their sexual partners, which can be defined as premature ejaculation.
So, can prostatitis cause ED or PE?
This issue is actually controversial. Generally speaking, prostatitis does not directly lead to impotence and premature ejaculation, but a series of symptoms of prostatitis, which trigger inflammation of the urinary system, may have an impact on the physical and mental health of patients, thereby affecting the quality of sexual life, leading to ED or PE.
In addition, during the treatment of prostatitis, if the patient has severe anxiety or depression, they need to take anti anxiety and anti depression drugs for treatment, and a small number of drugs may also have an impact on sexual function. Of course, doctors will also consider the patient's condition comprehensively when prescribing drugs.
If accompanied by symptoms such as impotence, treatment must be taken
Some patients with prostatitis do not pay attention to occasional impotence and believe that ED will automatically heal after the prostate disease is cured. This view is problematic. Because ED is a disease that "goes back when not used, goes forward when used", regular sexual activity is beneficial to patients, while conversely, it is increasingly detrimental. Therefore, if patients with prostatitis have symptoms such as impotence, attention must be paid to parallel treatment.
Currently, with the rapid development of medicine, impotence has long been a treatable disease, but different treatment options need to be selected based on the condition. Therefore, patients with prostatitis may not have to worry too much and actively cooperate with doctors for treatment.
