In some colorful advertisements, it is often seen that such propaganda: "If you suffer from prostatitis, it can lead to ED (erectile dysfunction), which seriously affects the lives of couples." Being misled by this, some men with slight discomfort suspect that they have prostatitis, and then fear that they will suffer from ED, or some patients with ED may directly request a doctor to treat their prostatitis first. In fact, prostatitis and ED are not directly related.
Prostatitis is a common disease in adult men, referring to systemic or local symptoms caused by acute and chronic inflammation of the prostate. Acute prostatitis is often caused by the invasion of pathogenic bacteria due to fatigue, cold, prolonged cycling, excessive sexual activity, alcohol abuse, and injury; The etiology of chronic prostatitis is relatively complex, usually caused by chronic inflammation that persists for a long time. Some patients with chronic prostatitis may have difficulty erecting, which is mainly caused by mental reasons. Mental stress can affect sexual desire and function, further exacerbate anxiety and anxiety, and even create a vicious circle.
However, prostatitis does not directly impair male sexual function. "Because normal erections in men are related to the anatomical structure, nervous system, vascular system, and endocrine system of the penis, prostatitis has basically no direct adverse effects on the above systems.".
"If men with ED blindly follow the method of treating prostatitis or even invasive treatment to deal with ED, such" treatment "can easily cause unnecessary damage, not only ED is not cured, but also lead to bacterial invasion and exacerbation of prostatitis.".
In fact, even if suffering from prostatitis, there is no need for too much psychological burden. As long as unnecessary ideological concerns are eliminated, formal diagnosis and treatment should be conducted; At the same time, pay attention to rest in life, avoid sitting too long, don't ride a bike for too long, eat less spicy food, and drink less alcohol. Prostatitis will soon recover.
