The slogan "If you suffer from prostatitis, it can lead to ED (impotence)" can often be seen in medical leaflets or advertisements. This misinterpretation brings a mental burden to patients with prostatitis, fearing that they will indeed develop into ED; Some patients with ED may develop the concept that ED is caused by prostatitis. So, is prostatitis and ED a causal relationship?
Prostatitis with ED is a "heart" disease
The question of whether prostatitis affects sexual function cannot be generalized. Theoretically, due to the stimulation of prostatitis, symptoms such as local congestion and edema do interfere with sexual activity.
Some patients with prostatitis may indeed be accompanied by ED, but even without the presence of prostatitis, male friends may also experience ED, and there is no causal relationship between the two. Because clinically there are also patients with chronic prostatitis who have had their sexual function unaffected for many years. Therefore, patients with prostatitis should not have any psychological pressure.
In addition, complete and harmonious sexual function requires normal internal and external reproductive organs, neuroreflex system, endocrine system, and penile vascular system. Chronic prostatitis has basically no direct adverse effects on the above systems.
Therefore, it will not have a direct detrimental effect on sexual function, but may only affect sexual function through indirect effects, such as pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen and perineum, ejaculation pain, and greater psychological stress. And ED patients do not have the above discomfort symptoms, so most chronic prostatitis and ED have no connection.
Why is ED easily treated as prostatitis
"The symptoms of ED are not all caused by prostatitis, but some ED patients blindly believe in small advertisements and go to informal medical institutions to treat ED according to the methods of prostatitis. The two concepts are completely different. Doing so can instead cause damage to the prostate and allow the bacteriovirus to take advantage of it. In the end, not only is ED not cured, but instead, it can" lose the wife and lose the soldier ", causing prostatitis.".
If you have prostatitis, you can relieve mental stress by improving symptoms such as frequent urination and perineal pain, which is beneficial for improving the symptoms of ED. In turn, active treatment of ED can increase male self-confidence, control anxiety and depression, and increase regular life. It can help men regularly discharge semen, which is equivalent to regularly discharging inflammatory secretions from the prostate. This is also helpful for the improvement of patients with prostatitis.
In short, there is a certain relationship between prostatitis and ED, but it does not constitute a causal relationship. It can be said that they are not "unfamiliar". Even if prostatitis and ED occur simultaneously, there is no need to place too much psychological burden on oneself. As long as unnecessary concerns are eliminated and regular hospital treatment is carried out, prostatitis and ED can be well controlled.
