What are the inextricable relationships between prostatitis and sexual dysfunction, as well as erectile problems

As a man, the prostate is a unique and important organ in the body. There are always a few male compatriots around who are more or less troubled by prostatitis. Frequent urination, urgency, and pain in urination are no longer common.

In addition to the symptoms of prostatitis that cause headaches, can prostatitis lead to erectile dysfunction (commonly known as "impotence") or premature ejaculation? This is also one of the issues that the majority of patients are most concerned about.

Current research suggests that there is indeed a inextricable relationship between prostatitis and erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation. Why do you say that?

Prostatitis patients can indeed experience symptoms of sexual dysfunction

Prostatitis is very common among young and middle-aged men, with about 50% of men experiencing symptoms of prostatitis at different stages of their lives, such as:

Urinary tract symptoms, such as frequent urination, urgency, pain in urination, incomplete urination, and difficulty urinating, are common;

Pain or discomfort involving the perineum, testicles, lower abdomen, groin, etc;

Mental symptoms, such as mental fatigue, mental depression, memory loss, etc.

In addition, it should be noted that most patients with prostatitis can experience symptoms of sexual dysfunction such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and premature ejaculation.

Prostatitis, sexual dysfunction, and psychological factors are closely related

Since prostatitis can lead to sexual dysfunction, how does it affect it? Compared with normal people, prostatitis and sexual dysfunction can both have a serious impact on the quality of life of patients.

The position of the prostate determines its function. It not only secretes prostatitis, but also serves as a valve for male urination and ejaculation. Once prostate problems occur, male ejaculation and urination cannot be well controlled, leading to sexual function problems such as premature ejaculation in men. After the occurrence of sexual dysfunction, increased tension and anxiety will further aggravate the symptoms of prostatitis.

As a result, prostatitis, negative emotions, and sexual dysfunction are interrelated and affect each other.

The treatment plan should be targeted

According to the above indications, the prostate does affect male sexual function problems, and currently many prostate patients seek medical attention for erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation and other sexual dysfunction.

Facts have proven that it is true that sexual function will also recover after prostate rehabilitation, but it is worth noting that sexual function problems do not have obvious effects like urination problems, and sexual function problems gradually recover after prostate rehabilitation.

Therefore, whether it is treating prostatitis, erectile dysfunction, or sexual dysfunction such as premature ejaculation, it is important to avoid disorderly medical treatment, and to achieve targeted and targeted treatment plans.
