Sexual dysfunction refers to the inability to conduct normal sexual behavior or to obtain satisfaction in normal sexual behavior. Most sexual dysfunction is caused by psychological factors without organic diseases, that is to say, sexual organs are not abnormal or pathological. Therefore, it is often referred to as sexual psychological dysfunction in sexology.
The decline of male sexual desire refers to the decrease of male sexual behavior expression level and the gradual weakening of sexual activity ability, and the inhibition of sexual desire to different degrees, which is one of the common male sexual dysfunction. There are many reasons for male sexual dysfunction. Generally, it can be divided into functional sexual dysfunction and organic sexual dysfunction. The former accounts for the majority of sexual dysfunction, while the latter is relatively rare. Clinically, patients with prostatitis, especially those with chronic prostatitis with a long history of disease, have sexual dysfunction of varying degrees. In the long-term diagnosis and treatment of male diseases, it can be found that prostatitis is one of the most important causes in patients with sexual dysfunction.
Why does prostatitis cause male sexual dysfunction? Prostatitis can cause sexual dysfunction in three ways
First of all, it is the disease that directly hinders the sexual function of patients. As a male gonad, the main function of the prostate is to secrete prostatic fluid, which is also an important part of male semen. When the current prostate gland is inflamed, the secretion of prostate fluid will be reduced, which directly affects the quantity and quality of semen, thus adversely affecting male sexual function.
Second, prostatitis can make patients feel pain, especially chronic prostatitis caused by mycoplasma and chlamydia infection. Inflammation of prostate can cause pain and ejaculation pain in the patient's vagina, testicles, anus, etc. When the condition is serious, the pain is severe. Pain itself will cause great physiological discomfort, leading to the performance of sexual dysfunction. In addition, prostate fluid has endocrine function. Inflammation of the prostate leads to endocrine disorder. Many endocrine related substances, such as testosterone, will affect sexual function.
Another point is psychological problems. After suffering from prostatitis, in addition to physical discomfort and pain, it is also inevitable to carry a heavy ideological burden and become depressed and anxious. After being diagnosed with bacterial prostatitis, some patients have a worried and guilty attitude towards sexual life, for fear of transmitting mycoplasma, mold and other pathogens to their spouses. In such a psychological state, the sexual function of men will also show a trend of gradual deterioration.
The phenomenon of sexual function decline caused by prostatitis is multifaceted, such as disharmonious sexual life, low libido, premature ejaculation, impotence, and some patients will have symptoms such as ejaculation, blood sperm, and no ejaculation. In essence, prostatitis and sexual dysfunction are two different kinds of diseases, but if they are not handled properly, they may occur at the same time. The middle-aged and young age is the age at which these two diseases are prone to occur, and more attention should be paid to them. Once there is a sign of prostate disease, you need to see a doctor as soon as possible, and do not procrastinate, so as not to cause greater harm.
